I am thinking about getting a Fantom 7 to use with GP, are the controllers fully assingnable within GP and other than the obvious cost implications are there any disadvantages choosing this keyboard? It seems to have everything I am looking for that I cannot find in a controller keyboard.

[image] Stilli: I was just looking for a response from Fantom owners for an opinion as to whether it works ok with GP or not. I don’t think anybody knew what you meant by “works with GP” but I assume you were talking about the sliders and buttons. I just downloaded the manual and sure enough…

Cheerss dhj, Thanks for taking the trouble, that was helpful … it made not much sense to me. Still amazed that no one that actually owns one responded.

“What would be your use case with the fantom and Gig Performer?” Same as any other controller keyboard used with GP

[image] Stilli: Same as any other controller keyboard used with GP Probably not only or you would think of a basic controller… Regarding Fantom users, you can warn them by writting their pseudo here, e.g. Hi @David-san … oh, I am still there! :wink:

Sorry @Stilli , I had completely missed your post until I was tagged otherwise I would have chimed in already. I’m currently setting up GP with my Fantom-07. I have used Fantoms for quite some time X7, G7, Fantom 7 and have now switched to a Fantom 07 to have a physically lighter keyboard to carry a…

[image] Stilli: Same as any other controller keyboard used with GP Not really….controllers are much more general than synths that have “some” controller functionality. The SL88 is a simple example but take a look at something like the Viscount K4/K5 which, apart from four banks of 9 sliders,…

Hi dhj, thanks again. I did check out the Viscount K4/K5 a while ago but I am looking for a decent Synth action 76 note board, the Viscount has fully weighted keys. I like the Arturia but the sliders are totally in the wrong position and it’s only 61 keys. The Fantom 7 has everything I like (apart…
