Yeah, what Mike said. Congrats on the new board Terry, liked "Turnabout" much better than the other tunes----it had a meditative,trance-like quality. I have always found Roland sounds to have a richness and body beyond most of the other choices. I really liked the original Fantom, but I was somewhat alone in that. The drums are outstanding, and that is a "biggie" with me. And about the acoustic guitars, well at Sam Ash I heard some guy getting these amazing dobro-like sliding chord sounds out of a Fantom, and he was really pounding on the keys. I do think that there is a lot of nuance programmed into the dynamics, and that the player has to discover how to bring it out. Have fun, Bro.

Bill,
Thanks for the listen and words. I too agree. "Turnabout" to me sounds more composed piece by piece. There seems to be an open fuller quality about it. My wife thinks it sounds richer and more real, that it has better space and presence.
I think I was ready in composing to move to where a workstation can take me. I'm not dumping my Tyros for sure, the sounds are too good, but I think it will become more of a sound palette in my work now as opposed to the basic compositional board.
FWIW, I didn't care much for the original Fantom either but like the S.
Terry
