Ed you knocked it out of the park buddy and you did not go overtime. 4 minutes for the song and 4 minutes for the song tutorial. Perfect and you had so much fun doing it. Thanks for always encouraging all us wannabes.👍

Hi Ed, this was great sir...and you were right, it was fun...Great Keyboard btw.

Great composition !!!! I love the chords and solo vocoder line- wish I had half the talent you have Ed.

Ed, I own a fantom 6 and a fa06 and I just wanted to say thank you man. Without you, figuring these machines out would have taken me so very much longer. You are the man! Thank you! 😁🤘

Awesome!! Loved it!

Yeah! Nice chords! 👍🏻🎉

That shirt is just KILLER!!! A catfight and a Fantom and charming Ed, haven't seen a better combo for a loooong time:)

As usual, great job Ed! You are an inspiration to all of us Roland synth and keyboard users and owners. 👏👏👏

very inspiring !!! that chord progression choice is really cool !!

#watchalo!!! 🔥🔥🔥

That was perfectly fun

Awesome! I think I talked a buddy of mine out of getting a Montage and into getting a Fantom. Nobody offers the support and has the product updates like Roland does. Thank you for everything you do Mr. Diaz.

Love the shirt Ed!

killed it

You're the greatest Ed!

Damn I just got the Jd-Xi and it's awesome bro

Exelente Ed, aún jugando acá con mi Roland Fa06, aprendiendo después de dos años con el aún no le saco todo lo que puede, ojalá algún día Roland saque el editor web 😁👍🏻 Monstruo!!

Watching again - Great vocoder part Ed !... is it possible to challenge you one more time? 👍 LOL!!!

Yes!!!!!!

Hello from Bournemouth in the UK! Love your videos and hoping you can help with a wee question I have! I’m wondering if it’s possible to have multitrack stems saved to an SSD to play along to, live? I’d love to be able to leave the laptop at home altogether really! No worries if not though! Thanks again for all your hard work through this past year especially!

@1:58 is the point when Senor Diaz knew he just made a hot beat -

Awesome! And that's a nice vocoder setting you've got there... It would be a shame if someone (me) stole it and used it in absolutely everything. 😎

Hola amigo felicitaciones por la explicación. Para la Roland fantom g6 quizás se podría cargar expanciones axial, nos podrías ayudar amigo desde ya muy agradecido.

Mr. Ed. Is it possible for the new fantom to have J-Pop brass?

Hello Ed, Have you played the Fantom 7? How does the keys feel? Recently I bought a Fantom 8 as they did not have a 7. The keys are very heavy and I am so not used to the heavy keys. I want to take it back and get the 7. They don’t have it in stock now but have to special order it. Can you tell if the keys are semi weighted a bit smoother than 8. Thanks.

Hello friend congratulations for the explanation. For the Roland fantom g6 perhaps axial expansions could be loaded, you could help us, my friend, very grateful.

Honest question, Ed. Which is better? The Fantom or the Fantom G? So many people still say they prefer their G and do not want to upgrade. On the Roland Forums, quite a few who purchased the new Fantom to replace their G said they returned it and will be sticking with the G. If you're allowed to state, which do you prefer of the two? Thanks, and great content as always!

Does the Fantom 06 have the Same Type of Vocoder as the Flagship Fantom?

Hi Ed. Sent you a message. I just have a quick midi question.

Ed please we need Supernatural Drums inside Fantom

Waves memory dagame.message On my roland fantom screen. Returned

After over an hour of 4x4x4 entries ... finally something that isn't either 80's pron or 80's low budget cop show music. Well done Ed Diaz.

Hello ED, do you still have access to Roland Fa ??? I'd love to hear some selected sounds from it and Axial EXP Roland, could you please play me some sounds on those sounds. I am thinking of buying this equipment via the Internet, because I work at sea as a fisherman and I rarely go ashore, and you are a great authority on this matter for me 🙂👈. If you agree, I will write you what and how in the next comment. All good friend. 🙂👈

im not rich enough for this

Hello Ed. I think that you are a fabulous teacher but your skills as a composer are a little less good. I still appreciate all your videos. Have fun

Um...big Difference between a 4 bar pattern and a "SONG"...Just sayin

To me, this is my opinion from what I see regarding Roland and their Synthesisers/workstation keyboards in that they have taken away features that would groundbreaking and made them stand out they simply could have improved on or added on to what the current synthesizer workstations keyboard bring. And I think you are no it but you just don't playing it doing your jobs which you've been ordered to do which is to promote and do multiple spins regarding features well at the same time downplay what's been taken away regarding these products. And you're fooling the People narrowing down the potential of this product to only gigging keyboard player musicians while ignoring and sidelining musicians like me who are producers who like to create beats songs, compositions that are contemporary such as Hip-hop, Drum & Bass, Trap, Grime, Drill, Techno, EDM, etc etc. I think Roland has lost touch with the wider market regarding musicmakers of all sorts and sound design. And focusing predominantly to the gigging live performance musicians. The only relevant workstation so far that I still use is my Roland fantom G6. I think the new Fantoms have fallen off or I would say pushed off the cliff. From the Fantom FA series and it's gotton worse with the Fantom and Fantom 0 series. For example, iconic features that make a workstation is its ability to be stand alone aka without a computer. And if needed to be hooked up to a computer, then it should have been given integration with at least five (5 at the very least) current popular Daws (take your pick of what those most popular Daws should be integrated ) .... And that sequencer should have the option to be linear such as in the G Series. The fact that the G series had 128 internal and /or midi tracks plus 24 linear audio tracks with their own separate mixer and effects capabilities is something other workstations including Roland's new Fantom line have fallen way way too short of. For example, I use the 16 track mixer in conjunction with the 128 and internal tracks like this. I would use sequencer track one for a kick, track two for another type of kick, and do the same with track 3... remember on the G Series you could have an effects for each instrument independently known as PFX. So track 1 would have a low pass filter with some EQ. Track 2 would have the same thing as track 1 but with different filter and EQ curves and this would be repeated for tracks 3. I would then route those internal instruments kicks to channel one of the mixer and then put a compressor on that mixer channel along with some EQ. Now that channel acts like a kick bus channel... don't forget I have the master effects on the stereo output too that I can add to such as master EQ band compression, and others. This is just how easy but yet sophisticated, a simulation I can get to that of a real studio mixer desk. When it comes to sampling this is where they are most definitely falling really short. For example, there is no real-time time stretch and tempo locking of a sample to the bpm of a song or track like that on the on the G Series along with AUTO CHOP CAPABILITIES of various types. And assigning each chop to a different keys on the keyboard or to individuals sample pads in any order you want to be triggered anyway you like in conjunction with the sequencer, with each sample locked to BPM. Along with other key sampling processing features again such as the ability to calculate the beats per minute of a sample is absolutely brilliant with drum loops I mean did that have to be taken away I mean come on.. And don't forget, how could anyone forget, or overlook SKIP BACK SAMPLING??!! That was an INVALUABLE tool and could have been improved upon. I mean, I have my skipback sampling ON all the time, 80 seconds or one minute and 20 seconds maximum, but it's enough for me to catch things that I've passed, or previously played, seamlessly and brilliantly integrated within the internal circuitry routed through my audio input. I have it CONSTANTLY ON, so that even watching this KZfaq clip, I can go back and capture and then playback the sample anytime I want. Roland getting rid of this feature was a cardinal sin. Roland shot themselves in the foot with that omission, how could they take this feature away? And when it comes to the Arpeggio there's so many options, you can make/create/program them yourself, edit with ample as well as upon amples of Presets with the ability to save to USB and import Arpeggios, it's so brilliant it's is sick and I use all the time. And back to that Daw like linear sequencer, and its ability to add swing by adjusting by percentage how tight you want your quantization to be, from 0-100 %. As well as add, copy, duplicate, repeat, shorten or lengthening of tracks or parts of a track or time signature or parts.... 🤦‍♂️ How could Roland do away with so many great features. Back to the effects that is just another area where they're falling off making it possible to root an edit effects with ample various parameters to me was just brilliant. And the sliders and knobs can be assigned to various parameters regarding it be a a instruments envelope oscillator or effects that can be automated. And that d Beam... Look up what Native Instruments did when they came out with Maschine mark 1, then Maschine studio, Maschine mark 3 and Maschine mark 3 plus...? And the Akai with their MPC Touch and MPC X... I use my G Series in a way very very similar because it is capable to be very very close to those later mentioned Groovebox Sampler Workstations. When my friend come with those mentioned grooveboxes sampler workstations and they do something I'm able to emulate what they doing on the G Series they are blown away especially the 24- linear audio tracks that seamlessly and in conjunction with the integrated sampler features and sequencer and effects processing. I think Roland is missing something here. And I think it's the younger audience aka market Who make produce create contemporary music, and not just be stage performance musicians, who are predominantly looking for synths and Piano sounds with the odd sequencing and sampling capabilities. This is why the G Series should have been improved upon by having a better daw integration like what the new Fantom has now and then some. For people who make hip-hop EDM Drum & Bass, Trap, Drill, Grime and all manner of contemporary music including film score.. And to be able to be connected to the Internet to a bank of sounds cloud which is a brilliant thing Roland is doing with the current Fantoms. Along with all the USB capabilities that was already in the G-series, Roland could have went somewhere really big and innovative if they Incorporated all the past features of the G-Series into the new Roland fantom workstation/synthesisers. The Roland could have took it so far the competition would have been left for dead. For example Native Instruments Maschine and akai MPC now have sidechain compressor routing built-in by just choosing one of the integrated compressors and route it to a sidechaining of a kick, snare or drum loop in conjunction with a pad or synth sound. Let that sink in for a minute... don't get me wrong I love Roland some would say I am a Roland fan boy. I am a mature man of 50 years but the people who it is overly priced and marketed to are not people who are making music in a contemporary way in my opinion if Roland or anybody from The Development Team just for a minute just thought or consider what I I'm saying, what I am suggesting, what I'm proposing, putting forward the next Fantom would be a studio and Performance showstopper... that's why I've kept my G6 and that's where my Roland and fanboy support stops. Did have the new Fantom 6, but it's now for sale. Because to me although it sonically superb it's nothing more than a sound module with cheaper feeling keys...All Roland, had to do is add to the G series Fantom what the Fantom 7 has or rather add the mentioned features of G-series to the 2019 Fantom along with its CV controls connections, XLR in's and outs touchscreen etc etc.... And that to me would have been progress. Akai will be bringing out a MPC as powerful as the X but with a keyboard 🎹... Come on...

Yes!!!!!
