Tony, your videos meet my needs better than anybody else's out there. Yours are more practical, and you took the time to figure it out beforehand instead of just stumbling around trying to be the first vendor to post. Thanks, Tony!
Most the people making those videos aren't actually selling the product, they just review so it's more about TH-cam views to them. For Tony it's to help sell units or at least get people into his store so he takes more time to give great detailed demonstrations.
Just what I was looking for...a musician that speaks "Gigology"!! Thank you Tony!
Tony, I always wait with anticipation for your videos. Your retail sales ability and gigging experience make them so much more meaningful to me personally. I was the GM of Technics in the US before Panasonic closed us. I would have loved to have someone like you on my national staff. Congratulations on another brilliant video and thanks for making the instrument and it's features relevant. Cheers.
As usual, your reviews are absolutely the best out there, no only because of your concise explanations, and enthusiasm, but also your skill as a player.....I always look forward to them whenever there is a new keyboard out there, as you manage to cut to the chase so much better than other reviewers....Thank you, once again!
Wow what a superb demo! Beautifully filmed!
You have a quality of showing things very fast and still
remain very understandable! Chapeau!
Adri from Holland
A good demo indeed, but not beautiful filmed. It’s is overexposed.
exactly the info I've been looking for as I use the Fantom G8 live. No other demo shows what you did and I watched them all. Thank you very much. Hopefully you'll do more.
Démonstration toujours aussi humble et très complète. Le but unique de Tony est toujours de nous informer correctement. MERCI 🙏
Easy to work with. Maybe would upgrade someday, but gonna stick with my FA-06 for now. Still kicks ass!
Tony I would die to work with a keys man like you..you are nothing less than a God. keep up the great vids dude! And OMG what a keyboard the Fantom is! Love the 3 part layer of piano styrings and rotary organ ..gorgeous!
Very thorough review as usual. Thank you!!
Good demo ! Different from others and more suited to what I need to know as a live player this is shaping up to be a great unit!
By far the best demo shown on this keyboard and all the other sounds as well. This makes my decision alot easier on what to get next. Thank you so much :)
Thank you, Tony for so awesome playing - enjoy it.
One Of The Best Demo's Of This Yet Well Done Mate
I wish you would do a full in depth tutorial on getting the best out of this workstation because your teaching style is so good.
Everytime I watch this channel makes me want to get a visa just to personally visit you there in the U.K. & thank you for being an inspiration to me & the rest of the aspiring musicians out there. Keep safe and God bless you!
You’re one of the best instructors man. Good to find your channel! I’d just buy mine 76’s and it’s on the way.
Very cool video, thanks Tony! If you were in the USA I would head down and buy one today. You have done and excellent job of hitting the basics and would love to see you do a follow-up video showing how to use the drum system and building a song! thanks so much for creating this vid!
Superb presentation Tony.... as usual!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻..... thank’s cause I’ve been waiting for this Fantom video👍🏻
Great demo as always from you 👍
5:40 the lead sound reminds me to the lead sound from Indonesia 1980's great keyboardist Yockie Suryoprayogo.
A really good introduction with this Fantom !!! Thank you !!
Great demo! You sold me this will be my next keyboard purchase!
Good morning Tony, I had been waiting patiently for your video,Thanks you're the best⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The worst thing about this video is that I found out how near your shop is.
My wallet is screaming.
SCREAMING!
Very good video ... thank you so much for the clear overview of Fantom!!
This is the best tutorial I've seen till now. Great job 👍👍👍
Thank you very much, this video is a huge help!
I hope there will be many more.
Awesome presentation!
You are a very clear to understand and organized speaker. Thank you. Some targeted camera work of what you were talking about or pressing would have been a huge bonus.
Super great video could not figure out how to use my keyboard till I watched this
Very useful video. Wish there were more like this!
This was really helpful, thank you!
Extremely helpful, thanks!
That was very well done, thanks.
Excellent video, Thanks!
Why haven't I seen your video since. Wow. Best recommendation from TH-cam
Fantastic keyboard. Can’t wait to get one.
I liked the video, but thought I should mention that yes, OLD Yamaha's had voices and performances, but since Montage everything is performance. Same setup as the scenes at Fantom.
INSANELY AWESOME. THANKS.
well done and informative plus a great performance ; )
Finally a video of the new fantom showing the other side of sounds and functionality. Thank you so much.
Tony...You make some good videos !! Keep on playing !!
Watching from the other side of the pound. Great demos!!
5:40 the lead sound reminds me to sound from great keyboardist of Indonesia Yockie Suryoprayogo (passed away in February 2018).
26:32 i was also tricked to save my effect on 1 zone as i was only saving the scene, not the tone, and losing my changes... but it was before I watched your video, thank you, very helpful!!!
Thank you very much for a right to the point video!
Would you please tell what kind of speaker/subwoofer system you had the Fantom connected to in your video?
It sounds fantastic even on TH-cam!
Danke für das tolle Video
I learned more about it by you. Wish knowledgeable persons in my city, NC USA.
Finally, a decent review!
I have a Fantom 8 and although there is a significant learning curve, the excellent keyboard action and the ability to craft our own unique sounds make the keyboard well worth the price of admission. The main downside is that this is a very large and heavy keyboard so unless you have roadies to handle your gear, or you are a YOUNG, avid bodybuilder with a full size SUV to transport this in you wouldn't want to gig with this. I also have the RD-2000 and although it is significantly lighter and smaller, it is still a handful for one person to carry.
What lighter keyboard would you gig with? I have the RD800 and while it's great it's so heavy! I'd like to get something lighter to take to gig practises.
You're amazing!! Thank you
You should do your on video series on the things that can be done on the fantom
I have a very hard decision to make am buying my first good piano because what I was learning on was not close to an acoustic piano at all. Anyways I saw a used Yamaha clp-430 in a very flawless condition at the price of the Roland FP-30 with stand and pedals, so I was wondering which key action do you recommend: the GH3 or PHA4 standard. Thanks for your time and help, love your stuff keep up the amazing work.
Thank you for the video. Would you please be so kind enough as to consider doing a review of the Roland Fantom 2019? It's not just a workstation, but I believe a fully fledged synthesizer. To celebrate their 50th anniversary, they've added a new wavetable engine to the keyboard. I really like it. Thank you!
Good luck with your music son..I d do owt to have YOU in my band lol youre a class act..oh yeah great demo too for live use!
That keeps the keyboard stacking in check.
Excellent ❤️❤️❤️
that string riff sounded familiar. couldn't remember the song, though. remembered hearing it in a movie, but couldn't remember the name. remembered that louis gosset jr. was in it, though. googled him to see what movies he was in. iron eagle was it. looked up the iron eagle soundtrack. saw "one vision" in there. ah, that was it. sometimes the internet really is awesome.
in case you didn't know it's because of your playing skills & editing knowledge would make me buy the Roland Fantom, thank you! P.S. You and Luke Edward's have great taste in music. And you both love the Iron Eagle sound track love it! 🙂❤
Hi, great vídeo! Congras! It would be great to have a comparisson between Roland Fantom 8 and the new Korg PA5x 88 ;) I'm in the fence which one should I buy! I'm very bad at programing, so I want something simple with great sounds ready to use! Thanks :)
Could you please let us know any upcoming arranger keyboards from Roland?
Nice brass, nice clav too
I love your playing i must say.
4:38 Knew exactly what that was gonna be just from the bass at the start. Made my arm hairs stand on end.
Wow, the singer from Level 42 can play keyboards too! : )
Seriously, this showcase is awesome.
Great guide! Does the Fantom have a dedicated organ engine or are the organ sounds samples?
At the moment it's just samples although I understand the instrument is expandable so hopefully an organ engine could be added later (perhaps based on the VR730 or RD2000 technology?)
One Vision sound track of Iron Eagle movie love it! 🙂❤ Bravo!
Tony, could you please do a more detail individual voice video,like you did with the Korg Pa4x .
For the live player or a pro studio but it is versatile with great sounds. Thank god for great plugins these days!
Are we going to be able to load projects from older fantom?
Thx! Are there realistic Guitar sounds? Or supernatural sound engine?
Great videos... Does this Fantom have a tonewheel organ? And can you move each individual sound up or down an octave inside a group of sounds?
OK Just seen that you can move sounds up and down from your video
Hi Tony,
Can the sampler record from an external audio input while the sequencer is playing
in acoustic children what is the best ghost or montage? I see that the sounds of the fantom are very similar to what I already have in Integra 7.
It's time to new arranger keyboard Roland!!!
Great video! You explained that the Fantom has just one mode called a Scene mode, but then you showed us that it also has a Single Tone mode. It seems that Scene mode is the equivalent of a typical performance mode on another keyboard, and Single Tone mode is like the typical voice mode. Is there a multitimbral mode such that 16 (or more) different sounds can be controlled separately via MIDI channels or is this done via Scene mode as well? Also, can all of the tones be edited or do you have to save them into user slots? If the latter, how many user slots are there for tones? Thank you so much in advance for any answers you can offer!
FYI, I got my answer (yes) on 16-part multitimbral. :)
over 2000 user slots
Great video. Just what I wanted. Still can't afford one. Would you take an electric drill and a broken M1 as trade in? I'd need at least £2500 for both.
Que calidad de sonido congratulacion 🎉
This guys videos make sense. I am so sick of hearing these other guys with the heavy synth sounds, saw waves etc. BORING BORING BORING!!! Same old crap over and over. Tony, keep up with the way you present boards, very clear, very much to the point, very useful for everyday players. Good job!!! Please do more and explore more of the reg. type sounds... Orchestral, Strings, Clavs, EPs, Acoustic Pianos, Horns etc. Show the drum patterns alittle more and how to do a fast edit etc. Whatever your do... DONT FOLLOW THE CROWD that are presenting videos for this board.... ALL THE SAME and NOT GOOD FOR ANYTHING. Thanks
Exactly! Most of the reviews I've seen just focus on the synth sounds and same old plodding drum programming. Tony has done it differently which is a welcome breath of fresh air.
@@bobsta For sure. It seems we are not alone in this. Everyone fatigues of the usual Sonic Blast Synth sounds and the beats that are useful for nothing other than EDM etc. Personally, I would like to see him put out a video showing a full sequence being done with pianos, drums, orchestrals etc. Hopefully he does it. Personally, I am not pulling the trigger on this board until I see more of what I would be using.
Would like to see a comparison of the Fantom 8 to the fantom X8 fir functions, saving creations and how to find by letter - number - name orders. What is new and different , what is lacking, can you copy patches to usb thumb drive and use them from there, ect. No one has done this yet and i am sure there are many out there who want to know.
The Fantom x8 is soooo outdated. A comparison with the Roland Fa- series will be better. I have owners the Fantom X8, and The Fa-08 as well. The X8 is not worthy.
Tony, quick question. How is the action compared to a FA08? Is it as weighted or Is it more similar to a FA07? Also, how is the action on the RD88 compare?
That looks like the F7... how's the action when playing APs & EPs?
Fantastic...was getting so tired of DAW this DAW that and fiddling with envelope knobs etc reviews of the Fantom...YAWN...there are suprisingly live gigging keyboardists out there that want to use it for what it was built for LIVE PLAYING and see it real world usage and not bedroom hero looping and knob twidling...Thank You. PS...knowone can seem to answer this ...will it read SMF or SVQ files??? And does it have a proper full blown Sampler...not a pretend one like the FA series????
Just Aname it has a pretend one like the FA series unfortunately.
I sold my Kronos 2 88key and this might be my next keyboard.
alphasxsignal why? Im stuck between going for the the kronos 2 or this new Fantom 🤷♂️
Thank you so much Mr.Tony for your wonderful presentation.looking forward for more videos from you about Fantom.Thank you
YOU. ROCK THAT WAH CLAV. LIKE. INSANE AWESOME.
Damn. Now I need a Roland Fantom 8.
Tony, how do you stop the sustain pedal from wondering away while your playing live?
This is a good demonstration for the gigging keyboard player, but unless you can utilise all of the features of this board that the vast majority of players would never use, then I cant see how Roland justify the price. Kronos and Montage OS3 can do all of this and more at much lower prices, and if you considered MODX OS2, you could buy the 6,7,& 8 for the price of one Fantom 7.
Just like my Fantom G I hate that the scene does not save any editing I do to the individual sounds. My Yamaha Modx does save all edits to there scene which I just love. Does the Fantom still have performance editing?
mattsynth this is the reason i have yet to mess with editing sounds on a pattern or song I’m working on lol
Every Tone, Zone, and Scene on the Roland Fantom is fully editable. Both internal and external controls can be saved to each scene
Tony will you be making more Fantom demos..?
Is this easier to use than Yamaha Montage?
I never used a synthesizer. Only piano and organ.
Also second question, which has better pianos and organs sounds? Looking at Yamaha PSR SX900 , Montage and Roland Fantom.
I am curious to know your opinion about comparing Yamaha Montage VS Roland Fantom VS Korg Kronos
Maple Green montage can morph between the motif synth and the Yamaha DX
Kronos has the 9 discrete synth engines similar to oasys
So far, I’m aware that Fantom has the v-piano engine from the Roland flagship pianos
Look Korg Kronos: 9 Engines for each sound,Sampler( Can do about anything you want)
Yamaha Montage: Pure Analog Circuit, FM Synthesis,Sampler (Can do about anything you want)
Roland New Fantom: (Drum Pads, Very good Midi intergration has no sampler but can do much more( Can do anything you want)
It’s all about YOU!!!!!! Cause I will tell you one thing every one is biased get your ass up and go try a board for yourself and at the end of the day you won’t even use all the features these top boards are offering cause I don’t with my Montage 8
I wonder if Roland is coming with a sound module version of this.
Think its already out there, don't think the base sounds is any different from the Integra. Sounds pretty familiar to me, but I might be wrong. I aint a Roland user currently, but I doubt Roland has changed strategics lately. They normally rely on a sound generation for sbout a decade
mrdali67 I wish it had Integra sounds... so far everything I’ve heard sounds like 8080 sounds still at best!
16 way split? also, is it the exact organ engine as in the vr-730?
does this model have the same brushed finish like the other Roland models ? It looks flat black to me .
Tony I always love your video's. However I must be getting old, I've lost you long ago.😂
Pun intended, I'm all zoned out.
Can you please review the Kurzweil PC4? Thanks.
So at 5:07 these sounds played together are so so yummy i love it
Rolands have those yummy distinct lead synth sounds, and it was played very well in this video.
