About this deal

Just like the flagship Fantom series, the new Fantom 0 models offer clip-based sequencing with instant pattern recording and triggering. The TR-REC sequencer is also available and is inspired by the classic Roland drum machines of the 1980s The new Roland Fantom-0 models follow in the footsteps of the flagship Fantom series of keyboard workstations. Available with three different keyboard options - 61 or 76 synthesizer actions, or a fully weighted 88 note piano-style keyboard, All three models are equipped with the same sound engines panel controls and input/output options. The only difference between the three models is the keyboard and the physical dimensions of the instrument. Having had the Fantom-0 in our studio, though, we think it’s a great keyboard to have around. It sums up everything Roland is trying to do right now – blend old and new technologies and combine them with software-based expandability – and until you’ve had a workstation that you can just sit down and play/record with without having to turn on the computer, you don’t quite know what you’re missing. Yes, there are still reasons to buy a fully-fledged Fantom – better build quality matters to pros – but for most of us, this will do very nicely indeed. When we took delivery of our Fantom-08, the first thing we noticed was how light the box was. There was no cursing from the courier on the doorstep about the weight of the thing, and it’s easy to manoeuvre on your own (something that can’t be said of a lot of full-size ‘boards). Options (sold separately): Keyboard Stand: KS-10Z, KS-12, KS-20X, Pedal Switch: DP series, RPU-3, Expression Pedal: EV-5, USB Flash drive

For players who demand acoustic realism, Roland has equipped the Fantom with the latest version of their highly regarded SuperNATURAL sounds. Using a combination of sampling and acoustic behaviour-modelling, SuperNATURAL offers lush strings, detailed woodwind, powerful brass sounds and more, all presented in 24bit 48khz resolution for the very first time. No matter what the genre, Fantom provides sounds to inspire. At the heart of the Fantom-08 is the PHA-4 standard keyboard featuring Escapement and Ivory Feel technology to achieve a truly natural and authentic feel - emulating the touch of of a classic grand piano. SuperNATURAL technology and the Virtual ToneWheel engine Newly designed 88-note keybed with hammer-action keys (PHA-4 standard keyboard with Escapement and Ivory Feel) The functionality and operation of the FANTOM-06/07/08 and your computer-based application(s) will be the same no matter which type of connection you are using - the only difference is how the MIDI and Audio signals are routed. Of course, that's nonsense, and it's misleading on at least two counts. Firstly, I have gigged extensively with a JV1000, an XP80 and a Fantom X7, and they have all been excellent instruments. Secondly, the FA08 is way better than the 2001 remake of Planet Of The Apes.Ja, Pedal... Ich hatte ein Roland RPU-3 mitbestellt, so ein dreifaches Klavier-Pedal. Kann ich empfehlen, aber: das sind drei Expressions-Pedale (also Werte 0 bis 127). Wenn man das Fantom nicht anders konfiguriert, sendet das linke Pedal Expression, und stellt sich nach erster Berührung und Loslassen auf "0" - und das Fantom scheint tot (bis man wieder links "Gas gibt"). Activate or enable the interface in your music software. You will need to consult with the documentation for your specific application for this. After sound quality, what’s more important than playability? The way an instrument feels under yourfingers, and how it helps you express yourself, is vital. FANTOM focuses on the experience of playing,from its immersive keyboard action to its arsenal of performance controls. Player's paradise. External Device Port: A Roland A-49 or an A-PRO series MIDI Controller can be connected. * Operation is not guaranteed if a generic MIDI device is connected. Audio Interface Max 24 bit/96 KHz Play and produce with thousands of electronic and acoustic sounds powered by Roland's advanced ZEN-Core and SuperNATURAL technologies

The onboard 4 x 32 USB audio interface offers a simple connection to computer-based recording software. Logic Pro, Main Stage, and Ableton Live integration are available natively. While FANTOM is powerful by itself, its powers grow exponentially when connected to other gear likecomputers or analog synthesizers. FANTOM can control software synthesizers directly from thetouchscreen, drive modular and analog synthesizers from its dual CV/Gate outputs, and is also a high-quality audio interface capable of 16 stereo outputs and 3 stereo inputs. Computer expert.

FANTOM is a complete musical composition platform that excels at fast creation and fluid arrangement.You have RGB pads, a classic TR-REC style pattern sequencer, real-time recording with piano-rollediting, and a grid for recording and launching clips. Use any or all, whenever you want. From spark to fire.

Sorry

Confirm that the USB driver is installed correctly, and that the computer is communicating correctly with the interface.
