Manufacturer's ID: FANTOM-08
What we say:
At A Glance:
The FANTOM-08 by Roland is a streamlined version of the flagship FANTOM workstation. FANTOM-08 takes the most essential elements like the multiple sound engines, multisampling, pattern and clip-based sequencing and real-time controls straight out of the FANTOM. The result is an extremely powerful workstation synthesizer that's lighter and more portable, yet features a huge amount of DSP power for smooth operation, making it ideal for professional working musicians.
Features We Love:
Huge Sound Library
FANTOM-08 features an unbelievable library of sounds and leaves room for expansion via sampling and Roland's state of the art ZEN-Core. In addition to the outstanding SuperNATURAL sound library, Virtual ToneWheel organ, Vocoder, the ZEN-Core library features a new form of synthesis that's used in the latest Roland synthesizers and software, where sounds can be created saved, shared and imported by and from other Roland synths that feature the ZEN-Core engine.
Ergonomic Workflow
FANTOM-08 has been designed to offer a fluid workflow by eliminating confusing modes, instead, FANTOM-08 delivers several workflow methods so you can choose which works best for you. Your tracks can be built up using scenes, patterns and clips for an intuitive workflow by recording them in manually or using the TR-REC that's been adopted from Roland's most iconic drum machines. FANTOM-08 is also compatible with the flagship FANTOM Scenes that use ZEN-Core, SuperNATURAL, and Virtual ToneWheel Organ sounds.
Optimised For Every Performance
Menu diving is kept to a minimum on the Fantom-08 thanks to a generous selection of encoders and faders. Each featuring high resolution control 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.
