 NAMM Update: New Roland FantomRolandPosted 2001-07-26 Once again we were wowed at the Roland booth. This time it was in the Keyboard / Synth / MIDI category where we got to check out the new Fantom workstation up close and personal.
Sporting more features than previous Roland workstations, in a more user friendly design, the Fantom really turned our heads. Check out the word from Roland below for the details:
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.
- 76-note workstation designed to integrate performance and composition
- Professional XV-5080 sound engine with 64 voices and 16 multitimbral 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 Realtime 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
