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.

FANTOM O Series Is a Beast

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.
