Roland Fantom Music Workstation Keyboard
Roland calls it the beast in a Titanium cage, why you ask? Just listen to some of the mp3 sounds and check out the videos! This is one keyboard of the new generation that can not be missed!! Audio MP3 Demos from Roland Allstate.mp3 Rock disapper.mp3 Film Score Style notrippn.mp3 Urban mix stemcell.mp3 Techno/Electronic Video Demonstrations Performance Recording Sequencing If you're looking for an instrument that ignites music making rather than slowing it down, look no further than the new Roland Fantom. Every aspect of this 76-note synthesizer keyboard — from its simplified user interface and sequencer to its variable Arpeggiator and Rhythm generator — has been thoughtfully designed to keep the music flowing, whether performing or in the studio. And with its expandable XV-Series sound engine and digital outputs, the Fantom has everything you could ever want in a workstation keyboard — except the work. Fantom Keyboard Features 76-note workstation designed to integrate performance and composition Professional XV-5080 sound engine with 64 voices and 16 multi-timbral parts 1,024 Patches (640 Preset, 128 User and 256 GM2 sounds), plus 29 rhythm sets New! variable Arpeggiator and Rhythm generator with realtime control via knobs, buttons, and light-sensing D-Beam "Always-active" high-resolution sequencer with Real-time Phrase Sequencing Large, angled LCD display with soft keys for faster, more intuitive operation 24-bit reverb, plus chorus and 90 multi-effects like COSM Amp Modeling Expandable via two SRX- and one SR-JV80-Series Wave Expansion Board(s) Superb sound quality with 24-bit D/A converters and S/PDIF digital outputs Sleek titanium chassis with low-profile floppy drive for storing User data The Fantom Concept The idea behind the Fantom workstation is simple: Create an environment that fuses the previously disparate worlds of composition and performance, allowing you to capture and develop ideas quickly. To this end, the Fantom includes powerful and expressive XV-Series synthesis with studio-quality effects, inspiring real-time features, and a sleek user interface for streamlined operation. Put simply, this is the compositional tool you've been waiting for. Built from the Best The creative process begins with the Fantom's 64-voice, 16-part multitimbral sound source — the same engine used in the acclaimed XV-5080. This ultra-expressive architecture can use up to 4 stereo Tones per Patch, giving you unprecedented realism, spaciousness, and depth. In all, there are 1,024 Patches (640 Preset Patches, 128 User Patches, and 256 GM2 sounds), plus 29 Rhythm Sets at the ready. And the Fantom's sounds are full of life, thanks to the endless modulation routings afforded by Matrix Control — all of which beg to be tweaked with the Fantom's real-time controllers. A 76-note keyboard with Roland's best synth action, plus velocity and channel aftertouch gives you room to play as expressively as you like, while improved 24-bit D/A converters and S/PDIF digital outputs (coaxial and optical) make the Fantom our best-sounding workstation ever. An Effects Powerhouse With 3 independent effects processors (Reverb, Chorus, and M-FX), chances are you can forget about your outboard gear. To start, the Fantom delivers professional reverb based on Roland's acclaimed SRV-3030 24-bit Digital Reverb Processor. So whether adding a bit of 'verb to a grand piano or drum set, you'll get silky-smooth reverberation down to the last tail. Speaking of smooth, Fantom's dedicated chorus processor is all it takes to thicken up anything from Rhodes to strings. And with 90 multi-effects algorithms — including COSM Amp Modeling, a triplet-based Shuffle Delay, Lo-Fi processing, Slicer, 3D effects, and more — you can sculpt your sounds in any way desired. Expandable to Over 200MB of Sounds While the Fantom's massive wave memory is stock with just about every sound imaginable, it's nice to know you've got options. To this end, the Fantom is equipped with 2 SRX-Series expansion slots and an SR-JV80-Series slot, giving you access to one of the largest sound libraries available — without the hassles and load time of CD-ROMs. Each SRX-Series board is equivalent to 64MB of the finest sounds availableΦfrom concert pianos to strings, drums, and more. And with nearly 20 SR-JV80-Series titles, you can cover just about any musical genre from Latin to world music, hip-hop, house, and more. Advanced Arpeggiator and Rhythm Generator More than a powerful synth, the Fantom is an interactive music partner with a variable Arpeggiator and Rhythm Generator capable of sparking ideas well beyond its provocative sounds. Start by selecting an Arpeggiator style such as guitar picking and strumming, piano backing, bass lines, or keyboard hooks. Since styles can be linked to a Patch or Performance, all it takes is the press of a key to let the magic begin. You can even modify Arpeggiator patterns and Patches in real time using the Fantom's host of realtime controllers including 4 knobs and the light-sensing D-Beam. From there, get your groove on with the Fantom's unique Rhythm Generator. This interactive tool is loaded with patterns in styles ranging from contemporary pop and rock to jazz, fusion, and Latin — even modern techno, house, and drum 'n bass. And selecting different patterns "on the fly" is easy; just hit a different note within the Rhythm Generator's pre-mapped one-octave key range. Both the Fantom's Arpeggiator and Rhythm Generator patterns were recorded by live session musicians using instruments like Roland's V-Drums and GR-Series guitar synthesizers — resulting in the most natural, musical feel possible. With powerful functions like these, you don't even have to use the sequencer to create music. (Of course, the ultimate method is to combine Arpeggiator and Rhythm Generator patterns with your own playing.) And with so much realtime control available, making music becomes a fun and interactive process rather than a labor-intensive task. This is the essence of the Fantom. Don't Stop The Music! When it's time to capture your idea, simply record and edit your performance in the Fantom's high-resolution sequencer — complete with Realtime Phrase Sequencing (RPS) for triggering musical phrases and controller data. Best of all, the Fantom's sequencer is always active, so when inspiration strikes, recording starts immediately — whether it be live playing, knob tweaks, or Arpeggiator patterns. And with the Fantom's simplified Multitimbral mode, setting up a 16-part sequence is now easier than ever. After recording, you can use powerful Microscope editing to massage your tracks further via the large, angled LCD display. A "Play" Station for Musicians With the Fantom's sleek titanium styling and musician-friendly interface, we almost hate calling it a workstation. Because work is the last thing it feels like when using this intuitive, yet powerful keyboard. To start, the Fantom's front panel is designed to minimize buttons and clutter by using a large LCD display with soft key navigation. (These soft keys can also be used to instantly recall your favorite Patches or Performances.) This means that whether setting up a Performance, editing a Patch or sequence, you'll find the Fantom to be both logical and musical. And isn't that what's important? *"Phantom" is a registered trademark of and is licensed by Phantom Guitar Works.
