The Fantom, though, is missing the additional VA emulations of the Jupiter. So the only sounds the Fantom has that the Jupiter does not are the V-Piano, and the newly downloadable expansions (and the particular combinations of the sounds that have been assembled into Scenes, which can include 16-part split/layers instead of 4-part+drums). there's no Bank E on the Xm (though the sounds are still available), but it has the same Banks A, B, C, D, and Common, with the same patches as the Fantom. The XV-5080 set is part of their model bank architecture, but all the rest are in banks that correspond to their Fantom banks. Interestingly, all these same banks are in the Jupiter Xm. #ROLAND AX SYNTH PATCHES ABLETON PATCH#I recognize some of the more unusual patch names as being RD-2000/RD-800 sounds, and some as being from one of the Junos, but the sourcing is a bit of a mystery overall. The second set of sounds do seem largely (and perhaps entirely) derived from other Rolands, but it does not seem to specifically line up with any particular model. the (awful sounding!) "tape strings" patch here sounds like what I remember from the Fantom X. The first bank (or first set of 459 on the Edge itself) are where all the sounds specifically with AX in their name are located, which were presumably created just for the AX, though I'm not sure that all the sounds in this bank are unique to the AX. They apparently wanted to maintain some intentional demarcation/differentiation between the two sets, but there's no clue as to the logic behind it. But I would still wonder why they maintained two completely different sets of "Synth Brass" (for example) instead of integrating all the Synth Brass sounds into the same region of presets. The first set contains a bunch of grouped categories of similar sounds, and then the groups kind of "start over" with the second set, where most of the same groups are repeated with alternate patches. Looking at the voice list, there is indeed a logical split there. I also wonder about the split between the first 459 AX-Edge patches (Bank B) and the rest of them (Bank CMN). Bank CMN contains the remaining 837 tone list from the AX-Edge Keytar (from 460 to 1296)I wonder what the significance was of calling that last bank CMN instead of Bank F. Bank E contains the 896 patches from in the XV-5080. Bank D contains the 1109 SuperNatural Synth Tones from the Integra-7 / FA synths Bank C is the 128 patches from the INTEGRA-7 Synth Legends expansion. Bank B contains the first 459 tone list from the AX-Edge Keytar I jokingly assume the power of the new Fantom would be now enough for FA but it is not fully enough for the Fantom itself. but loss of polyphony seems a common issue in Rolands - always one generation under-powered for the amount of stuff they put in. I can easily do stuff my FA was chocking on. I have MOXF and I am absolutely positive the raw power of its 8 par per voice engine is vastly superior to what I had with Rolands previously. (the old Fantom G engine couldn't even do round robins) But those new tricks also eat polyphony. I assume the new "zen-core" engine is vastly improved hybrid of the old 4 part sample playback engine from G/FA with many new learned tricks. When I had my FA I of course optimistically added few SN layers for super lush sound only to find out the keyboard can't handle playing with 10 fingers anymore - not to mention sustain pedal.put a foot down and it just killed it. The Fantom G was relatively fine with its rather simplistic 4 part synth x 16 layers, then they added supernatural and each SN voice will eat oscillators like hungry wolf. This started when roland added more process intensive synth engines. Particles in space and Pink Oracle which likewise are running 5 parts (with 8 elements each as opposed to the Fantom's 4). #ROLAND AX SYNTH PATCHES ABLETON FULL#Lake Tahoe, Metropolis etc can't really handle full chords on both hands and that's with only 5 zones (two of which are splits so not even covering the full range), play one up the other down and you can hear notes dropping out, the Montage doesn't seem to suffer the same issue on e.g. What I have noticed though is that quite a few patches max out the polyphony on the Fantom fast here, e.g.
