FANTOM O Series Is a Beast

The one star review obviously has never played a keyboard before and has no knowledge of how powerful and amazing this FANTOM O series really is This keyboard is a beast and is a very capable and usable production machine. A little patience and a bit of time watching the numerous easy to follow videos that Ed Diaz of Roland has made along with live zoom classes that are available will have a keyboard player making music in no time. This machine is awesome for gigging as well as studio. It may be extremely overwhelming for a new keyboard player maybe look into something more basic like the Roland Juno DS that is also a very capable and usable keyboard that is also a great gigging keyboard. Roland makes great keyboards and there are plenty of great videos out there to make a well informed decision before purchasing. I love this keyboard and recommend it for anyone that has been playing for a while and has a basic understanding of what it is and what it is not.

I can?t recommend this fantom to anyone

When I first saw this keyboard I got excited and new I wanted one. I had no idea how complicated this keyboard was to use. The advertisements said hoe easy it is it use and program. The documentation is useless except for diagramingthe different aspects of the keyboard. The YouTube experts and instructions are a nightmare. They go through their demonstrations like a fast flying jet. I tried to create step by step list if procedures for each part os this keyboard and after I completed three. I watched Ed D YouTube on recording a song. It was crazy complicated with at least 25 steps to accomplish. I decided to send it back. I think Roland could have done a much better job with there engineering instructions and documentation. I?m Sure not everyone who wants to purchase this keyboard is not an expert or wants to spend the incredible amount of time it would take to master the fantom.

This state-of-the-art keyboard workstation is not just a tool but a dynamic creative partner, designed to inspire and adapt to your music production and performance needs.

Crafted with the utmost attention to detail, the Fantom-06 boasts a sleek, modern aesthetic that complements its professional-grade capabilities. Its premium build quality ensures durability and a touch of elegance in any studio or live setting. The heart of the Fantom-06 lies in its powerful and expandable sound engine, which delivers Roland's finest electronic and acoustic sounds. With the depth and control to blend and sculpt these sounds, the Fantom-06 opens up a world of sonic possibilities.

The Fantom-06's workflow is designed for speed and expressiveness, eliminating confusing modes and technical limitations. Its fluid composition tools and instantly recallable creative environments, coupled with deep computer integration, reflect the way today's musicians work. With the Fantom-06, you're always in full creative mode, and your workflow remains consistent across all tasks.

The Fantom-06 doesn't just play music; it empowers you to mold it to your liking.

Deep sampling capabilities let you capture internal and external sources, or both, directly to the onboard pads or keyboard for instant pitched sounds. The Fantom-06 also features an authentic Virtual ToneWheel organ engine, complete with adjustable parameters and a lush rotary effect, providing an immersive organ playing experience.

The Fantom-06's playability is second to none, with a semi-weighted action that feels solid and responsive, including aftertouch for added expression. High-resolution knobs and sliders offer precise control, while the dedicated synthesizer section allows for hands-on sound shaping.

Sequencing on the Fantom-06 is a breeze, with RGB pads, a TR-REC style pattern sequencer, real-time recording with touchscreen piano-roll editing, and clip-based sequencing for fast composition and live performance flexibility. Its connectivity options are vast, including dual CV/Gate outputs for driving modular and analog synths and a high-quality audio interface for seamless integration with computer-based production setups.

In summary, the Roland Fantom-06 61-Note Music Work Station Keyboard is a stylish, sophisticated, and innovative instrument that delivers professional, high-quality performance.
