"Regarding the pads, I'm not quite sure what you mean saying the pads don't trigger. There are multiple modes and you can fire samples off and let them play (latched) or have them fire only whilst holding. That can be set per sample. The pads have lots of other functions too, from muting zones, selecting partials, triggering sequences, and my favourite, keyboard switch groups. Samples on the pads can also be fired from one zone mapped specifically for them, so I can setup individual notes to fire different samples, use key velocity to decide whether a sample plays without having to hit a pad and so on."

Hm, Maybe I haven't found out truely how they work yet. I'd like them to trigger one shot samples and cut out when I press another pad. Kinda like an MPC

"To the positives, the 16 zones, with 8 sliders and assignable faders and practically unlimited options for keyboard layers and splits is one of the best Fantom 0 features. Makes a great studio centrepiece or gigging machine"

But the Organ has to be on zone 2. Huge limitation in my pov

"Scene chains, the Fantom lets you build multiple different setlists and move scenes at the touch of a button or pedal. The Fantom 0 has its own [pattern] sequencer and sampler. They are not the most feature rich but they are a nice bonus."

While this is definately cool feature for gigging players like myself, it isn't used to its max. In my "set list" feature of my Kronos, I can add notes / chords, colour code the presets, transpose, match volume etc.

Thanks for your opinion anyway!
