Any instrument can be awesome, but under the Master's fingers is where it really shines. You are a very talented musician!!
Thank you so much for the kind words!
you prolly dont care at all but does someone know a trick to log back into an instagram account..?
I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can offer me.
@Devon Nelson instablaster =)
This review was super cool to watch and im a guitar player. This is why i love gear gods
same here
Same, made me want to buy one of these lol
Same here haha, and I've been needing some inspiration when designing and recording music at home for my guitar work so I just purchased this beast. Main reason is because of its integration with logic! I was getting tired of using a mouse and cheap midi keyboard to play vst instruments. This should spark some creativity again and keep me busy for a while. Now I've just got to wait 4 days for delivery, feeling pretty excited!
Great first look, cannot wait for the full review. Thanks,
Did you had the chance to do that full review? Great "First look" btw ahah!
Im a Roland Fantom user and tried it all from the first Fantom Fa 76, fantom X, fantom G, FA 06 and 08.. also an integra 7 user. All i can say about this new fantom, its great if you use it integrated with computer/VST.. Also the new controls makes it better.. but i still need to try it in person before deciding getting it which is i always do before buying a new synth.. in terms of sounds, theres really nothing new on sounds coz the sounds ive heard on this demo can be produced by any other synths/modules if you are only giving time on how to edit your ADSR( Advance delay sustain and release).. Lastly im still interested with this new synth. The outputs and new computer connections are great to have. The touch screen is not amZing coz we know this is old technology, even the korg trinity from the 90s has that touch screen already. Thanks Roland. i dont know if does it have a smooth transition? Hope it does coz you are too late.
That intro should be a full song.
Wow!!...Im a korg person.. I owned a korg oasys, korg m3 and korg Kronos..but Roland did an amazing job with this 1!
Pedro Caballero Clemente interface wise I agree... but sound wise this sounds like early 2000s 8080 sounds still! Kronos sounds like the far future compared to these sounds. I am still waiting for a video that blows me away on the sounds, but nothing yet. One was ok on ambient sounds with the synth engine but that type of stuff is well covered by a Kronos.
@@boothbuster I’m with you in this. I want to love the new Fantom because I loved the a Fantom G, but I’m not too sure on these sounds. I like using a DAW, so I don’t know if I want to spend all this money in another workstation. Another reason why I’m thinking about just getting Komplete 13
The V-Piano sounds are totally physical modeled and have no sampling. The "Supernatural" pianos use a combination of samples and physical modelling. These are taken directly from the RD-2000 stage piano.
geoffk777 yeah that’s what it was! Thank you for helping clearing that up!
hmmm, didnt realize RD-2000 was using modeling!
Best review so far! Lets see if Roland support it longer than two years.
pcuimac that’s what I hope you know Roland how they are
About the power - it has 4 chips built in - handling various stuff like one chip dedicated to V-Piano alone!
Best Demo So Far Nice Sound Good Playing Well Done Mate
PaulTP12 Cora thank you so much!
What are the other aspects of the sound that you feel were lacking? How do you feel like Rhodes and Wurlitzer sounds are? Thank you for such a great video! Fantastic
I f you really want to know if the supersaw is calculated or sample based , do the following
-Initialise preset and no effects
-Choose supersaw and record a note
-Record another another note ( same pitch and exact same velocity )
Lay out the 2 recording in your daw on 2 different tracks , and pan both HARD left ( or hard right ) , or convert both to mono
-Invert the phase of one the recordings
Play back
If the result is silence , your dealing with supersaw samples
This is the case on my integra , and it's the same for the noise source
-
Right.
But if you have to do all that to determine what is what, then does it really matter? If your ears can't tell the difference then who cares?
@@davearonow65
Depends on how good your hearing is
That is my point. If you have to analyze the sounds by manipulating them through recording software to "see" their pattern because you can't otherwise tell the difference, then it doesn't matter.
Thanks for the info.
Thanks Man!! You've been a great help !
BINGO !!! THIS IS IT !!! THE GREATEST KEYBOARD ON THE PLANET ¡. I AM GETTING THIS.
A lot of power. Though, there's apparently a polyphony ceiling in 2022.
I'm seriously considering getting rid of my Korg Kronos X for this. My first workstation was the Roland XP-80 (which I did my first album on) from there I went to the Fantom X (witch I still have). I took a pass on the Fantom G due to a sequencer issue but I have always loved Roland workstations. Then I saw the Korg Kronos and I fell in love. 5 years later and the honeymoon is OVER! I have never used a more unintuitive workstation in my life. I'm constantly trapped in the abyss of tabs and menus and it kills my creativity. I tried to love it. I really did but I realize that no keyboard is worth the money if it doesn't inspire creativity... And so I'm thinking about returning to Roland (my first love) but I absolutely MUST have multi sampling. Maybe I'll wait for that update before I purchase it. Your video helped a lot! You definitely got a sub from me. Thank you.
You're welcome! Glad I could help :)
I wouldnt be holding my breath for the New Fantom to have a decent Sampler, Audio Tracks, Real linear Sequencer or industry compatability like ability to load a standard midi file...its a big chunk of $$$ to pin "Hopes" on...i was sooooo wishing it wasnt true...but this new Fantom? For me...its a Fail as a Workstation...great Synth...but not a Workstation
@@justaname1862 I recall the Fantom x series didn't have audio tracks when it was released. They were added with an update. I'll hold off for now but keep my fingers crossed
This new board does not do what the Kronos can do, keep yr Kronos and by the Fantom, Karma kills this board cannot import vsts and play etc
the sequencer on the Fantom or Montage is not even close to the Kronos sequencer and Karma
Thank's, a really good first look. I have the same situation - shall I sell my Korg Kronos and get the big version of this new beast from Roland..? I am not going on the road. For me it will be a studio tool. OR - maybe have both and eat oatmeal the rest of the year!
Which model of Kronos do you have? I have been looking for one to buy. Pls let me know.
@@crotchetconservatory I have a Kronos 2 88 if you're still interested in buying
Nice first look! But this was done 5months ago, so when will you complete/post the full review??
Thanks for the work you do!
Very nice 👍 . I bought the Fantom 6. But none of the pianos sound good. I have a FA06. The pianos are better than that. But not as good as the Motif or Kronos. Any advice how can they sound better?
This workstation is nice but no way is better than the Kronos, no car import, not even close to Krama
Its a beast and Im going to buy one. I have to make up my mind which key action I want either the 88key or the 76. The 88key might have a more real piano feel but the 76 and 61 have faster action and better for organ.
My Kronos is an 88 key, so I’ll be buying the Fantom 7 to compliment it. Most of my actual synth type instruments are soft synths. The Arturia V Collection, Parallels from Softube, the Softube Modular, Pigments from Arturia, Cherry Audio’s Voltage, Hexeric and a few from Waves and Cakewalk.
I do have an Integra-7 as well, by Roland, but the 6,000 (plus) sounds are different than this Fantom series.
I was actually saving up for a Genos to compliment my collection, but now think the Fantom 7 is a better first choice. I’ll save for the Genos later.
Fantom 6 and 7 are also the best for finger drumming :)
Weighted keys are not meant for finger drumming (unless you are a pro pianist)
Get the 76, but then get an 88 MIDI controller and dedicate that for your piano sounds directly from the Fantom.
My bro I have a request can you do a trap hip hop / RnB like song. I’m seeing a lot of just demo sounds but what can this keyboard do with a DAW and overall a song in that genre if possible I’m going to buy one but I’m a visual and sound type of person so when I see and hear it I’m sold. I want to go back to using one keyboard and record all audio into a DAW and put the sauce on the mix fam. The VST days are done for me they suck up to much memory Roland stepped up the game bro.
What can it do with a DAW.?..it is supposed to be a DAW....but sadly...it isnt
Bro i request to you please make a ethics instrument and Indian instruments like sitar , santur, obey, flute, dulcimer, harmonium, vibes, accordion, strings, trumpet, saxophone, brass Ecxectra
Ok I will make sure to check some of those out for you!
You can download all those from Roland cloud for free using serial number with lifetime unlock.
The Wizard's lead is the lead sound Jordan Rudess uses.
FYI: I saw a forum that I googled where a customer showed pictures of his Fantom screen being locked up on his brand new 2019 Fantom.....That spooked me! I really want to buy this new Fantom.....So....I asked my Sweetwater representative to research if Sweetwater had any repairs or returns on ANY size of the 2019 Fantoms.....we found that out of over 100+ Fantom Keyboards that there were 7 returns. Two were returned
As exchanges for Nord stage 3 Keyboards.....And the other 5 were cancellations from pre-orders that players decided against buying....So I will be placing my order on February 13th,2020 at Sweetwater Music!
Sweetwater also offers a 2 year warrantee on this keyboard.
That’s a glitch which was fixed in 2.01 update
incredible, please show the Roland Jupiter X asap!
The first Synth sounds like Jens Johansson Lead! Im trying to recreate it with my old JV 1080 but its dificult. Im almost there! Great video!
Jorge Gimenez I actually have Jens lead in the JV1080! I will try and make it on the Fantom 6 too!
@@alexnasla ooooh great! I would love if you could send the sysex file to me! You would make a fellow keyboard player happy! Great content by the way! Cheers from Argentina!

Genos is the best keyboard for acoustic sounds. I had an Kronos and Jupiter80. Now I have Genos + Montage. I think is a big miss that the New Fantom don't have SuperNatural sounds like Jupiter 80 since it is a workstation. As it is now is more like a VA Workstation + VPiano with some 90s acoustic PCM sounds.
I personally don’t care for that big blue dial on the Montage. I’d rather get those effects and tones by other means. To me, it’s kinda corny.
@@markferreri5814 Blue dial by itself is just is a live control. Behind it there is an huge multi function effect/morph matrix. Can be controlled in live performance (blue dial) or with automation using motion sequence. The combination of everything is very powerful. It is very good for evolving sounds and smooth transitions. Roland is trying to catch up on Fantom with Step LFO and Grid Interface. And Yamaha is also trying to catch up with the new Pattern Sequence released a few days ago. Good for everyone.
Thanx, I guess I need to do more research . . . . I’m an ol ’ geez, now 66. All the new tech, both software and hardware are very exciting to me. I’m not wealthy, but because I have never had any dependents (☹️), I’ve had the freedom to eat beans and Top Ramen at times to buy my hardware and software. My ‘Trash Can’ Mac ran me $8,400 and never seems stressed.
I’ll check Blue Dial out😉
nice playing my friend!

what?
Does this keyboard have the supernatural acoustic sounds? Like brass/woodwind/strings/guitar etc.?
It does now
But does it go to 11?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
For me I don’t need a hundred piano sounds I want good Guitar, bass and drums and string sounds and samples synth sounds basically a very versatile workstation keyboard.
I want to know if the new Fantom has all the bells and whistles that I need.
Try Kurzweil Pc4.
I bought the Fantom G8 with Roland saying it was their flagship to be constantly updated and improved and within a couple years they abandoned it. So don't hold your breath on constant improvements.
They've been pretty good on their subsequent products like System-8, so you can probably hold your breath now.
I think the Fantom G is still the better board compared to the new Fantom.
I know you like this keyboard action. You've said that in your review. But how loud the keys are when you press them down harder (forte - fortissimo dynamics). Do you hear any clicking or thumping loud noise when the key reaches the bottom of the keybed? I have tried that on mine and the keys are noisy. So far the quietest keys I have found were on Novation Summit synth. They are so quiet that you almost do not hear any keybed noise when the keys go down.
Price range is 3,599 grand insane
New fantom is not best keyboard , Fantom G is best keyboard
That harpsichord tho
The Petch Mode. Sounds Like Depeche Mode.. :)
How does this Keyboard compare to Karma, and sequencer, pianos in the Kronos😎
Im looking to buy the Fantom but torn between the 6 + 7. Seeing you play the 6 so you ever feel you wished you when with the 7 with more keys? or is this is stupid question cause it all depends what you play?
I have the 7, its nice to have extra range for piano and ep stuff and much more. Unless your worries about an extra 10 inches I like playing on a 76 much better
Fantom 6 weighs 33 LBS
O teclado é top de linha ?
Awesome and amazing
Would this be a good choice for home use i mainly play piano,im trying to choose between the Fantom 8 and Yamaha Montage 8 in white ive always loved Arpeggiators i currently have the Yamaha CP88.
Definitely Montage. I know I'm super late lol... But yea definitely Montage. Roland has amazing auxiliary type sounds, but their pianos are not as good as yamaha imo
One question, does this keyboard have 7/8 beat Metronom? Is it possible to arrange 7/8 song with this keyboard? Please answer my question Maestro!?
holy fuck.... your fingers are fuckin fast.... ...my drummers resoect for that holy shit guy
Frame 24.09You start to talk about things that they don't have and they said they're going to add it seems like the keyboard is not quite ready to be released for $4000 am I comparing this to the apple cheese grater Yes seems like you are saying that you were being short changed its things missing please comment
Do you have ram memory for user samples? And you can arm multisample and play from the keys as well as the Fantom G? Or just shoot the samples from the pads, as well as in the Fa ...
yens gómez yeah, it’s 2 GB ram for user samples. Multisamples is an update they will add to the Fantom in the future. And yes you can also use the pads to trigger samples
@@alexnasla Says who?
Don says Roland when I asked them about it
Hi please make a video to show the setlist mode on fantom...if it has user friendly Setlist mode for live performance....same as Korg Kronos2 has the setlist mode.
How much does the Fanthom 6 cost. What is the actual price?
If they add a good quality Hammond organ engine to this thing I'll go buy one
Taylor Hansen yeah I really look forward to that too!
Nord stage 3 is the board for that
@@kawaneycunningham1000 Correction Stage 3 EX or Electro 61
@@kawaneycunningham1000 I hear you. But if I could do organs with this then I could have one board for everything I need in my band. I'm currently using an FA-07 for everything but the organs aren't too great.
the organs and Leslie sounds are bad at best, they need to get much better
you can see that you haven't interfered with it even though the settings of the yamaha montage are not working at all the display is enough to switch off some additions in the menu and as crazy as the sound is much better than this phantom
czarecki czarnecki please revisit how you wrote this sentence. Or just write “I think montage is better than the Fantom” because if you are trying to say more than that, it’s not clear. Thank you for your voice and opinion! Honestly ✌🏾
Great job my friend you is a good player/ but I am a krog guy
Would i be correct in saying the big 4 keyboard work stations at the moment would be
1. Yamaha Montage Or Genos (don't know which of the 2 are better)
2. Wurlitzer Forte
3. Korg Kronos
4 Roland Fantom
Asking because I can't afford any them but with the update on the MODX6, I am considering that purchase
I know about Genos & Montage (I have both). Genos is the the best keyboard for acoustics/orchestra sounds. Organs are also amazing. Montage is better for synthesis, creating and/or customizing your sounds (mixing acoustic with synthesis). I think this New Fantom is trying to compete with Montage (and not Genos). Best of FM Synthesis vs Best of Virtual Analog. I had a Kronos and didn't like. Not very good with very high frequencies, may sound thin sometimes (like missing harmonics) and quality of presets are all over the place (from terrible to very good), slow to boot and very complex interface. I think Fantom is above Kronos and may be side by side with Montage (just a matter of taste).
@@MethodicBR thank u man. This helped a lot. The Fantom is out of my range price wise as is the Montage. But knowing that it's geared towards synth and FM is what I needed to hear. The MODX is what I'll have to shoot for.
Price
Can anyone please tell me if its possible to save the recordings as a WAV file to a USB flash? Thanks
Im pretty sure you can, yes! I will make sure in the full review
@@alexnasla Thank you very much.
You can do it in 3 ways-
1) stream audio into a DAW
2) Record to Pads
3) Record into an audio recorder with AD/DA conversion
Great video! When you do a more in-depth review of this keyboard, you should also include a comparison and contrast with the Yamaha Montage keyboard, which is similar to this, both in terms of price, sounds, and user interface.
I dont have the Montage on me anymore but yeah I can mention what I think between the two!
I’ve had the Montage and the interface is nowhere near as good as the Fantom.
Montage is not a workstation. An head to head full comparison would be Fantom VS Kronos 2
So are keeping your Kronos over new Fantom or Fantom now?
You said it is 'somewhat lacking in terms of sounds'.
Could you elaborate as I have been hearing quite negative reviews about Roland in general when compared to its peers ?
How does it stack up against other leading players ?
Thanks 😊
I meant in terms new sample based sounds. It’s not lacking in the number though, it’s a huge amount, maybe among the most sound of all the keyboards. But most of it is at least partially based on sounds from the previous Fantom keyboards. It’s not a bad thing at all, I love those sounds! But I look forward to them added more new stuff
I’m gonna be doing a full review where I go more in depth with stuff like that :)
Waiting for that.. I ended up cancelling my preorder of a novation summit for this thing. Sort of regretting that now. Some of these sounds are not what I'd like to use in a studio setting.
Can you use an expression pedal like the EV-5 with one of the 4 pedal inputs?
Yes (EV-5, EV-30, RPU-3, DP-10, etc)
Nice!
Can you kindly just make a demo of acoustic sounds like, brass, flutes, guitars , organ etc. There is not even one video regarding the same. Thank you in advance.
Bingo! I have ranted about this on most of these videos, and you know what the answer is? they foolishly left Super Natural sounds OUT of this keyboard, so, the acoustic tones are old PCM variety...which means, other than the swirling synth pad sounds, this keyboard does NOT break any new ground in OVERALL sounds...If you are making a brand new keyboard, why not have even BETTER sounds than the Super Natural, for that matter, but certainly not your old sounds.
I wish it had audio recording! Loved the FA and G. Yet the FA COULD record audio samples and the sequencer would save trigger points of the samples but only from the machine itself and would disappear on “export wav”.......
This new Fantom is looking more like an FA with a fruit basket...its definately not even close to a G in functionality
Gear Gods, is the new Roland Fatom scene just like the Fatom G sound set?
SuperChicken SuperChicken not really no. Very different
oh ok
Please play Bass like bassman...lower.✌️
Is there audio track recording like the on the previous fantom g
No...doesnt have a Real Sampler, or Real Sequencer either
@@justaname1862 The G hammers this for ability.
anything in this on teh sampler?
Sample-RAM? Effects each Sound?
The Sample RAM is 2GB, you can have up to 16 effects for each scene! Routed any way you want
So I guess my take is that this is the closest thing to a Kronos. You should list what one has over the other in another video
MP MI yeah it is, that’s not a bad idea
I can give you the essentials right now. Kronos has:
- KARMA, crazy cool algorithms if that's your thing, it's defo fun to play with.
- Roughly 128 voice HD-1 sample playback polyphony, AL-1 VA synth about 80 voices, MS-20 and Polysix VAs about 100 voices, CX-3 Organ model and dedicated Leslie effect I think 128 voices, FM7 and the rest, Google will tell you. There are several sound engines including Karpus-Strong physical modeling. AL-1 VA can mimic a number of classic synths and has a wealth of analog-style synth parameters, though personally I prefer the Polysix and MS-20 models just a tiny scouche more.
- PCM sample playback engine uses up to four stereo layers, and includes very good resonant multimode filters, stereo layers use two voices.
- Piano modeling-like engine for grands and EPs, sounds superb and extremely realistic. EPs have their own effects. CX-3 Organ model included dedicated Leslie effect.
- A decent control panel with eight sliders, buttons and knobs.
- A HUGE sample library including orchestral instruments, acoustic instruments and drums, loads of sampled synth waveforms on a 40 or 80GB solid state drive, with instantaneous stream playing of samples.
- A large virtual effects rack with up to 14 effects, but like a rack, the routing can get a little crazy so think of how you want your effects run.
- 2048 patches! A rather small but very useful touch screen which doubles as a control surface.
- 2 or 4GB of ram depending on Kronos 1 or 2 model.
- Multisampling to the SSD, including user sample streaming.
- Two main stereo outs, two sets of AUX outs, two audio ins including microphones.
- Quite a few controls: Joystick, 3" ribbon, four way audio control joystick, two footswitches, one expression pedal input, keyboard is channel pressure sensitive. USB port. 73 and 88 note keyboards have an RH3 piano action which is very good if a touch slow on machinegun playing, 61 note has a very good synth action.
- A decent linear sequencer with extensive editing, up to 200,000 notes.
- Solid build quality, but not rock solid as Alex says, Kronos 1 used plastic end cheeks, Kronos 2 has wood end boards.
- Still the most advanced synth workstation on the market, and sounds fantastic.
Roland Fantom (early build, and from what I've gleaned from the manual):
- Three engines: V Piano, ZEN Core PCM playback and ZEN Core VA Synth.
- V Piano engine - essentially INFINITE polyphony, a physical modeled grand piano, perhaps Steinway, and is one of the best pianos available from both sound quality and modeling aspects like piano body/string aspects.
- ZEN Core synth engine which handles both sample playback and VA synth duties, based on the V-Synth engine but heavily updated.
- PCM sample playback, 256 voices, stereo Tones are likely 128 voices. On board sample ROM is huge but unknown as of now, with thousands of acoustic and synth multisamples. Organs are sampled. Drums currently don't use V-Drum technology but use high quality samples. A number of VA-like functions are available like phase, oscillator drift and random pitch per note. Samples can be hard synced like synth oscillators. There are patches taken directly from the XV-5080 and Integra-7.
- ZEN Core synth engine uses VA-like structures whether sample based or VA. Each Partial (layer) uses an oscillator, filter and amp in four layers making a Tone (patch), with up to sixteen Tones in a Scene for huge sounds. There are more than 3000 Tones which can be user programmed. A stereo oscillator uses two voices.
- Every sound is actually a Scene or performance/combi with up to 16 Tones/patches and can include arpeggios, sequences, 16 multieffects and Pad assignments. Switching Scenes is completely seamless, with no sound cut off.
- The VA synth uses several oscillator types from classic analog OSCs to Supersaw OSCs. Filters use every type including Roland's Peaking Filter, with 12, 18 and 24db slopes. A Vintage Lowpass is available which decreases polyphony slightly. Polyphony is unknown, no one has yet found a note limit.
- LFOs include a Step LFO with up to 16 steps, each step can be a level or various shapes.
- 90 Drumkits are on board, and many are user programmable with room for more.
- 1.7GB of Flashram for user sampling, multisampling coming in a future update.
- Sequencer uses both Pattern and Linear recording types, with room or immense compositions. Drum tracks can be recorded to Patterns like any traditional drum machine with full editing of each pattern.
- Numerous controls: pitch and mod wheels, Roland paddle, octave select, S1 and 2 buttons, eight knobs, nine sliders, eight multifunction buttons, six multifunction knobs below Touch Screen, multifunction Touch Screen, synthesizer controls including OSC pitch and waveform select, filter cutoff and resonance, ADSR knobs and envelope select buttons, 16 multifunction pads.
- Main stereo outs including XLR, two sets of Sub outs, headphone outs, stereo analog filter out, two sets of audio inputs including microphones. Audio in through USB.
- Piano style damper pedal, three expression/footswitch inputs, computer USB input, USB flashdrive input, three accessory USB inputs, three MIDI ports, two CV/gate outputs to control analog synths.
- Direct control of DAWs and apps like Mainstage from Fantom front panel.
- Fantom will be updated in the future with more capabilities and even sound engines like synthesizers. This fall, an Electric Piano model is rumored to be coming, with a possible Organ model, and some other very cool rumors being hinted.
- Darn, it sounds good...
And there's a lot more but I'm exhausted... whew. I should be in marketing. ;D
@@stryker1999 DUDE THAT WAS INCREDIBLE..... JEEZ. My eyes were hurting after that. My conclusion is anyone of these keyboards will do what's needed. Lol. You could literally make an album using just 1 of these keyboards.
@@stryker1999 Oh yeah..... Thank you.
@@mpmi7588 Yeah, everything sounds incredible anymore, and I've been saying the same thing. Buy one monster, go to town making music. Kronos and Fantom are the two most powerful synths on the market right now. Which one is best? I couldn't pick, even with all the goodies in Kronos. I have to have both (whisper, I own a Kronos 88 already).
One thing that is not clear in their online specs is how many patches can be edited and saved by the user. Do you know?
Alek Vila I’m not sure the total amount, I will have to check but it’s A LOT. Like, I wouldn’t worry about it, that much lol
If you find out, please share. The Roland Jupiter synths only have 256 user patches.
@@AlekVila I will try and found out exactly how much but I can already see its over 1000 from using it
Over 1000 is good. Thank you!
What s the prize
in terms of weight, is it lighter or heavier than the Korg Kronos?
Keyboard Mac about the same, it’s like 2-3 lbs heavier
tnx @@alexnasla
the sounds of the new ghosts are poor old it looks like in the 80s it does not even come close to the Korg Kronos in addition there are no samplers no timstrech the only ghost success which is just a successful control keyboard.
I still hesitate between the Kronos and the phantom. It was said in an interview by the composer Morten O'Connor a true sound researcher
Man how do I play like this? Like what do I practice?😩
You must learn modes. He using the Aolien and the Fringien.
Do-Majeur VII Rec Thank you for the reply my friend. I always wanted to learn how to play like this, but never knew how to go about practicing it
@@nekow1785 You Can it is not impossible. You must go back on basics, like scales Greeks modes. it may take you up to 3 months but you should be fine. You can get the `` Hanon 40 or 60 lessons. also beginners books such ``Methode Rose`` Practice. you can find them on Amazon. or in Guitar Center or Sam Ash if in the Us.
Do-Majeur VII Rec Thank you so much friend!! I really appreciate your input

"When I do a full review" lol..
Dude...this was 40 minutes...how long is your full review?
Does it come with the transpose button? Is the Phantom 6 light weight.?
Octave switching - yes
Transpose in semitones - yes
Weight - heavy at 33 LBS
You don't want to have a power cable and main outputs next to each other.
Trumpet Sounds.
What specifically is lacking in the synth engine?
Alek Vila in the synth engine? Nothing, it’s probably the most full featured synth engine I have used in a keyboard like this.
Thanks for the reply!
Where is Live , studio ,single , favorite mode
No modes
Can anyone in here tell me what I should buy please - Korg Kronos, Yamaha Montage or Roland Fantom? Thanks in advance
Fantom!
An easy to use keyboard makes a HUGE difference. If you buy a keyboard with great sounds but the UI sucks big time that you don’t even want to use it, that’s a bummer and waste of money. Roland nailed the hardware/software UI in the new Fantom! Sounds are secondary and they can be downloaded, purchased or designed by ourselves. You can download up to 10,000 tones freely from Roland Cloud using the serial number with lifetime unlock. Additional sound packs are available for 99 cents.
Seems like Roland have a full chance to kill Yamaha's and Korg's kids) It's have a full DAW control WOW! control software VST from Fantom? wow...and seems like a nowadays Sequencer, it's all looks supercool.
If they sell it for 5000$ they won't kill anyone.
Igor Leus I think Yamaha could update their montage to do that so as the Kronos so I wouldn’t be surprised
@@sebjulien3 but yeah man, 100% It must cost not more than 2000$, because in that case will better to have Kronos+Montage. It's sound great but not better than Montage or Kronos, it's just have a more possibility to work with a DAW,Sequencer, etc.
@@tuneunleashed maybe they will update and add more features or do another king of synths)
@@NatLifeSounds I just saw the price...Roland is really asking for 5000$ CDN for the bigger model...are they mad? For a lot less money you have one hell of a PC laptop and a 91 keys midi controller , plus a good DAW with VST's. You can even buy a car with the cash left or a guitar a bass and a drum....
Fantastico synth, ma non trovo un tutorial in lingua Italiana. Se vi fosse mi rivolgo a qualunque mi inviasse un link. Grazie!
I've never seen this dude in Witherfall?!?
Anime soundtrack synth. Yeah that's it.
How many oscillators does it have? To design your own sounds
I will find out and let you know in the full review!
@@alexnasla thank you! This keyboard looks amazing

Thanks! Great first review.
Any chance you can do a similar one with MC 707?
lcceo22 I’ll ask Roland and see what happens!
@@alexnasla awesome thanks! Also... a longer, sounds-only demo would be great for each😊
This will compete with the Kurzweil Forte and the Korg Kronos, which is the standard for gigging musicians. Pair this up with a Hammond XK-5 and that's a great setup. Related video from Woody's Piano Shack with the private event at Abbey Road Studio 2 in London a week ago.

In this video, they talk about the new key bed. The levers have been moved back, that's why it feels good. Interesting they went with the color red, which is Nord.
You could get a right angle AC cord to help with all those cables on the back....
Indian tone available
You can download them from Roland a cloud for free using serial number with lifetime unlock.
the 8 is good, I played the 7 the keyboard sounded like a train was coming thru, total crap! noisy, sorry roland I guess you want to sell the 88s
It is definitely a matter of taste. I got a Fantom 7 last week and I really love the action. Super quiet, too...
Thank you .How well does the fantom do solo string articulations ?
Okay- how much it cost 🤓??
Joseph W. 8 voice 88 key is 4k
Hmmm, I wonder if the 76 key is 1000 less 🧐??
Joseph W. 76 is 3600, 61 is 3300
Got a used 7 for 2400, its amazing but the aftertouch straight up is broken if your okay with that its fine
I think is a big miss that the New Fantom don't have SuperNatural sounds like Jupiter 80 since it is a workstation. As it is now is more like a VA Workstation + VPiano with some 90s acoustic PCM sounds.
it's S/W upgradable so down the road great updates will come along
@@fUjiMaNia any news on that? Will it have the supernatural?
Not much sounds on this keyboard I think the Roland g6 is better
In no way is the G6 better apart from the linear sequencer, skipback sampling and the sample chop option. The new Fantom is a sound designer's and keyboard player's growing paradise. Roland hasn't updated the Fantom-G in 10 years and the software on that is still not complete and buggy is many areas. This new Fantom is Roland's redemption for their failure years ago.
Don't be a fool here in Fantom is not real and original 100% V-PIANO. Roland assure but who have ears can't hear the difference. Best Pianos are on Nord and Prophet XL!!!
