Roland has "translated" 1024 patches (factory presets?) from the XV5080 into Fantom X format.

Online scuttlebutt is they sound close "but not quite the same", which is typical for such patch porting.
I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.
