Roland Fantom 8

Workstation fans watch out - With the brand new Fantom Generation Roland re-releases its workstation which has been popular for years. Packed with new features, sounds and a professional workflow, the Roland Fantom 8 is the ideal tool for live musicians, keyboarders, bands and producers.

Sounds

Based on Roland's years of experience in sound design, the Roland Fantom is packed with more than 3500 sounds from the past 40 years. The analog filter part is combined with several synthesis forms. The Behavoir modeling chipsets emulate instruments of course, the V-Piano technology lets you look forward to perfectly nuanced pianos and Roland's synth engine provides powerful synthetic sounds in all styles.

Of course, a sampler section is also integrated. You can put loops or one-shot samples of up to 2 GB on the pad matrix and add a large portion of warmth with the analog filter.

Effective

With the Roland Fantom you get an extensive effects section on the 16 parts. Best of all, you can use all effects on all parts simultaneously and combine them with each other. Don't worry about processor power or other limitations. The Roland Fantom does it all.

Revamped keys

Roland's new Fantom series is equipped with a perfectly playable, full-weighted PHA-50 keyboard. A paradise for musicians and pianists. The integrated aftertouch provides powerful expressiveness, while the knobs and sliders give you instant access to important parameters and settings.

Sequencing redefined

The new Fantom features an integrated 16-track sequencer with a wide range of comfort functions and features to quickly turn your ideas into reality. In addition to classic modes such as real-time or step sequencing, you can also work with the TR-Rec Pattern Sequencer. As in the ancestor, the popular Roland TR-808 drum machine, you can type in notes and even live or step-by-step chords in the Fantom.

Full software integration

The Fantom comes with a 3 x 16 audio interface that you can connect to any PC or MAC via USB. This allows a complete and modern integration of the Roland Fantom into the DAW of your choice. Even better, you can use the Fantom as a control center and integrate all your plug-ins and software synthesizers into the Fantom and send everything through the analog filter section for a warm, analog sound.

Made for Eternity

The Fantom is made of robust components and metal parts. The result is a maximum robust instrument, which masters every hard tour or stage everyday life without problems.
