SRX-12: SRX Expansion Board
If the current crop of R&B and hip-hop music is any indication, classic electric pianos and Clavs are hotter now than ever — and let’s not forget the many other genres that rely on these essential vintage instruments. Introducing the SRX-12: the finest sound library of coveted EPs and Clavs to bear the Roland logo! It can be installed in any SRX-compatible Roland instrument (Compatibility list on the "Details" page), but Fantom-X6/X7/X8 owners are in for an extra special treat with this collection, as you’re about to read.
- Roland’s finest EP/Clav sounds ever!
- Every note of electric pianos sampled with multi-tone velocity switching
- Sounds from all of Clav's pickup settings are included
- Bonus Piano-Mode functionality for Fantom-X6/X7/X8
This expansion board contains high-quality electric piano and clavi sounds that are indispensable for a wide range of musical styles, including R&B, hip-hop, pop, and jazz.
It provides three classic models of 73-note and 64-note electric pianos, multisampled at each key over four levels of velocity. It also provides clavi sounds sampled at each of four different pickup settings, with mute both on and off.
The built-in patches were carefully selected to take full advantage of the expressive power of the high-quality waveforms. In addition, installing the Fantom-X6/X7/X8 Audio Track Expansion will add the two screens “Classic EP” and “Classic Clav” to Piano mode (the system must be updated to version 2.10 or later), letting you adjust the sound via a simple and intuitive graphic user interface.
• Waveforms: 168
• Patches: 105 (Fantom-X series, Fantom-S series, JUNO-G) 50 (SRX-compatible models other than listed above)
* The parameters of each patch are optimally adjusted for the corresponding model, so the resulting output sound may vary.
Fantom-X6/X7/X8 users
If you’re installing this expansion board in a Fantom-X6/X7/X8, we recommend that you update your Fantom-X6/X7/X8 system to version 2.10 or later. For details, refer to “About the SRX-12 dedicated piano mode” (P.8).
Fantom-S/S88 users
If you have a Fantom-S/S88 with a system version earlier than what’s shown below, you must update its system program so that it will be able to correctly read Fantom-S/S88-specific data from the SRX-12. (p. 16)
• Update required for versions up to Ver. 1.05
