Roland
Fantom-S Editor/Librarian and Virtualizer
for Windows and Macintosh OS X
Congratulations on owning the Roland
Fantom-S. You know something that many musicians have forgotten, that
whatever the reason, hardware synths and effects simply sound better.
Software
synths and effects do have advantages. They work right inside your
sequencer; sounds are stored on the computer with easy access and on
screen editing; and if you want, you can even automate sound edits while your sequence plays. All you have to do is twist the
knobs of your soft-synth to record the changes.
With Sound Quest's Editor/Librarian and
Virtualizer software, you can give your Roland Fantom-S these advantages as
well. You are even able to integrate the
Fantom-S into your digital audio sequencer and use it the same way you use
soft-synths. Now you can display, edit, tweak, organize, audition, archive and manage
your Fantom-S from the center of your studio: the computer screen.
