Features to see the manufacturer's website. Mine is version 2 (obviously the update fee is included in this release, but no PCMCIA adapter provides as with the previous version - that I've read). I stuck to it 512 MB RAM and 1 GB flash card

The connection to the PC does not seem to be very simple, however. I will see this later (since I have my fantom xr semainess 3).

UTILIZATION

The phantom is easy to access (especially if you already had products like the Roland JV1080). I find editing the samples is very simple and it's a good point for me using it to archive the sounds of machines that I sold or sampler quelqques drum loops. However if you want a great sampler parameter, it will take a dedicated machine, but otherwise this one is not too bad (much better than the option of sampling a KORG TRITON LE anyway).

The manual is not too bad.

SOUNDS

Sounds? We feel that the JV1080 is not very far, but there is clearly progress. As a JV1080, do not expect sound with lots of character, but it fulfills its role of general road (actually, I would have preferred the sounds of a Proteus 2000 for example). The Piano is not bad, but not worth my Nord Stage 88.

OVERALL OPINION

I chose the Fantom XR because I wanted a general expander and a sampler in the little space as possible, and we can not do less than a single unit! So I do it again the same choice, especially since I have not found a glaring fault this machine.
