Manufacturer's ID: FANTOM-6
What we say:
At A Glance:
Fantom-6 is Roland's flagship machine for music production and performance. Built to be musical every step of the way. Sound creation, songwriting, sequencing and performance playing can all be executed with ease.
Fantom not only sounds amazing, it draws out new musical ideas every time you use it. Created with the musician in mind, Fantom never gets in the way of your performance, it is a pure joy to use.
Features We Love:
The Best Sounds
Fantom combines decades of technology. Nailing the sound of Roland's iconic synths with their custom Behaviour Modelling Chips. Pianos and acoustic tones are realistically recreated using the now legendary V-Piano technology. New complex tones can easily be created in beautiful detail through the HD interface and controls.
Fast and Fluid Music Creation
Fantom recognises that different sequencers benefit different production styles. Patterns can be created by recording your performance in real time, using the 808 style TR-REC step sequencer and using a piano roll grid. Patterns can then be chained together to create songs, or split up into clips for a Live style real time performance.
Optimised For Every Performance
Fantom-8 features a beautiful fully weighted keybed with aftertouch. Menu diving is kept to a minimum thanks to a generous selection of encoders and faders. Each featuring high resolution control over 1024 steps for smooth analogue-esque adjustments. Finally the HD touchscreen is a dream to use, thanks to the intuitive operating system, your workflow will be effortless.
Expandability
Fantom is a new concept platform that is constantly evolving. Through regular updates, Fantom has gained several new usable features, which since its launch have included the introduction of multisampling, SuperNATURAL acoustic instrument voices, 4 vintage synth expansions, a Virtual Tonewheel Organ, a 32 band Vocoder and Ableton Live integration. In addition to these updates, Fantom features the ZEN-Core sound engine, which allows you to import, export and share your ZEN-Core sounds with other Roland ZEN-Core hardware and your DAW.

- Tough metal construction
- Analog Filter
- Deep integration with Ableton Live and Apple Logic Pro X and MainStage
- Computer integration with high-quality 16x3 stereo audio interface
- Works as DAW controller
