Sound effects
Air Raid
Simulates a World War II-era American air-raid siren. Use pitch bend to simulate the siren powering down and back up; releasing the keys powers it down.
Requires: Any Fantom-S or Fantom-X. No expansion boards required.
The Fan
Simulates an oscillating electric floor fan (specifically, the one I own). Lower keys run the fan slower, higher keys faster. It's really a demonstration of the XV synth engine inside the Fantom: no samples are used, honest.
Requires: Any Fantom-S or Fantom-X. No expansion boards required.
Ambulance
A US-style ambulance siren. System Controller 1 (usually modulation) moves the ambulance farther away by adding reverb and lowering the volume. System Controller 2 (usually aftertouch) speeds up the siren. System Controller 4 (usually breath) pans it right. System Controller 3 isn't used.
Requires: Any Fantom-S or Fantom-X. No expansion boards required.
Synths & pads
SuperSaw1
A very bright trance saw, emulating the sawtooth-based virtual analog pads of the Roland JP-8000 heard throughout trance music.
Requires: Any Fantom-S or Fantom-X. No expansion boards required.
Sylky Bells
Inspired by a Motif ES "Mixer" patch: a bright bell with a delayed, smooth synth-string background that combine into a beautiful pad.
Requires: Any Fantom-S or Fantom-X. No expansion boards required.
Warm Glow
A very warm bell pad that pulses lightly and ever so slowly fades away as you hold the keys.
Requires: Any Fantom-S or Fantom-X. No expansion boards required.
Pianos
UltimatGrnd+
A small change to the well-made UltimatGrnd preset on the Fantom-X6, X7, X8 and XR: longer sustain and more sympathetic resonance.
Requires: Fantom-X6, X7, X8 or XR. No expansion boards required.
DrkUltmtGrnd
A darker version of UltimatGrnd+ for more of a concert-piano sound, keeping its expressiveness and smooth velocity switching. It shifts each key's samples down 4 semitones and adds a velocity-sensitive low-pass filter to each Tone.
Requires: Fantom-X6, X7, X8 or XR. No expansion boards required.
SRXDarkGrnd1
A major improvement on the SRX-02 Concert Piano board's own patches. The samples are decent, but the factory patches make velocity switching very noticeable. This one uses the first of the board's two waveform sets. The RD-700 file may overwrite your RD-700 Setup data.
Requires: Any Fantom-S or Fantom-X, or an RD-700, with the SRX-02 Concert Piano board.
SRXDarkGrnd2
The same as SRXDarkGrnd1, using the board's second waveform set. The RD-700 file may overwrite your RD-700 Setup data.
Requires: Any Fantom-S or Fantom-X, or an RD-700, with the SRX-02 Concert Piano board.
80's FM EP
An FM electric piano, like the ones you'd hear from a DX-7 or other FM synth.
Requires: Any Fantom-S or Fantom-X. No expansion boards required.
Sampled instruments
fmSYN-LEAD 1
63 samples of the Yamaha DX-7 ROM patch 23 "SYN-LEAD 1", with the matching Fantom-S/X multisample and patch. A hard synth lead with lots of overtones, especially at high velocities. Every third key from C2 to C7 at three velocity levels.
Requires: Any Fantom-S or Fantom-X, with at least 21 MB free in USER or CARD storage.
dxE.PianoDry / dxE.PianoWet
Two patches built from the four-way velocity-crossfaded DX-7 patch "08 E.PIANO 1", sampled from my own DX-7's line output: every third key from C2 to C7 at four velocities from pianissimo to fortissimo, 84 samples in all.
Requires: Any Fantom-S or Fantom-X, with at least 15 MB free in USER or CARD storage.
Desk Percussion
I sampled myself hitting different spots on my music workstation desk and mapped the hits across the keyboard. They make some interesting sounds, as the demo shows.
Requires: Any Fantom-S or Fantom-X, with at least 0.5 MB free in USER or CARD storage.
