So,I’m Japanese,
My English is so bad, I’m sorry.
But I want wright this video.
In Japan,Fantom-0 series are on sale,

I had just glad to see your playing this synthesizer,
I’m just buy that’s 08 &06,
I have already click Amazon,www
Your video is more than perfect Roland Japan.
You are great 👍
Thank you,
I’m a musician of Okinawa Japan,
Playing Okinawa’n traditional music.
just local songs,likes Hawaiian🌺
I hope very much keeping peaceful all of the world.
It’s official.., I’ve watched so many keyboard videos from all the makers that I can now simply recognize the player just based on their hands! Amazing demo too. It’s great Roland was still able to keep the price reasonable.
Haha. That’s brilliant! That’s good, I don’t need to show my face anymore. 😊 I’m glad you enjoyed the demo, this will be a very popular synth for sure.
Hi Mark, this is the most impressive video about the Fantom 0. Thank you; it helped me a lot to make the right decision and now i own a Fantom 07. Happy!!!!
Thank you Oliver. I’m glad it helped and inspired you.
can’t wait. Thank you Roland 🙏❤️
That intro was superb!!
That’s very kind. Thank you.
Brilliant video, thanks Mark. Will invest in an 08 this year for sure 😊
Thank you. This really is a great demo and I concur with earlier comments that this is one of the best demo's out there. It really does show of the O. A indepth comparison with the Fantom would be appreciated. I think there are many differences that some may not be aware of which are significant. Thanks again for such a superb demo.
Thank you for your kind comments and sorry for the delayed reply.
This is one of the BEST demos I've seen so far for this synth. Mark shows off the uniqueness of this keyboard greatly. I'm so sick and tired of all the demos that take half time if not more showing the piano sounds...For crying out loud !!! EVERY MODERN KEYBOARD HAS GREAT PIANO SOUNDS, even a $300 Casio. Only thing missing IMO is a keyboard long Ribbon Controller like on the super famous Yamaha CS-80?
Thank you so much. The long ribbon would be cool :-)
I've even experienced the opposit... videos that DISMISS the piano sound as unusable!!
This is the first one that showed the SUPENATURAL Piano in a beautiful piece of music... sounded GREAT!
FOR ME, a workstation, like the MPC, is a time saving IDEA MACHINE, so I STILL will finish my stuff in the DAW
Everything is overkill on a stage, which is what Fantom-0 is meant for. SuperNatural pianos unusuable? In a studio, arguably, but not live. But hey, there are producers still using those f***ing hideous M1 pianos in new age and ambient tracks and what not, so it is all relative.
Sounds amazing just like the bigger fantom no V piano but as a working man this is reachable for me and what I need it for I’m glad I held out and didn’t go with a modx because this thing is way better, I mean more knobs faders and etc sorry Yamaha I’m going with this board.
I am really hyped about the Fantom-0 overall!! Finally, a Fantom that I can possibly afford and use daily
You will absolutely love it.
Nicely done Mark, and what an amazing keyboard!
Thanks so much Adrian. Yes it does most of what the big FANTOM does but super light and affordable. The 06 is only 6 kilos! Hope you’re well.
Amazing!
La démo est excellente. Bravo... Le Fantom est une superbe machine.
Great show of the features and genres of this keyboard.
Thank you.
Great demo Mark!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you my friend.
Great video. Really shows how.great this keyboard is
Great explanation, definitely I will upgrade my JUNO-DS to this one.
Love it!
best synth ever! compared to price no doubt
Great demo of FANTOM-0 Mark ‼️
Thanks Brandon ❤️
Excellent demo
Cheers 😊
Brilliant video mate !! Thanks so much

That intro was wonderful..
The intro was sick 💯🔥
Great demo Mark!
Thanks Nuri
Thank you so much!
I'm getting excited. Went into guitar center to look at and use the axe edge. Played with the fantom 6. Found out about the new 0 series
So many cool Roland toys in one sentence 😊

Great !
I got my eyes on this
I'm gonna get mine next week 😊
Sick dude!
Hi Mark
Let me tell you that this was a great demo. I’ve being watching the Fantom flaggship. But I know that I won’t be able to afford it.
That’s why I’m so happy about this keyboard. This has to be mine.
Regards from Spain and sorry for my English. I need to recover my lost skills hahaha.
Tu poste está bien escrito ;)

Fue solamente una cuestión de tiempo de que Roland saque este teclado despues de introducir Zen-Core y el nuevo Fantom del 2019. Yo con mi FA-06 tengo, no me interesa el Fantom-0, pero me gusta ver que traman, jaja
Buena suerte!
In many ways Fantom-0 is an inferior board. Stick with FA.
Best demo so far
TH-cam comments had me scared about this thing for a week
Im SOLD
This summer... unless AKAI's MPCKEYS keyboard announcement is compelling... I want a workstation this year, and Im NOT bustin 3 grand for one!!
The FANTOM-0 is really amazing. You won’t be sorry.
Every video I’ve seen this is a huge improvement over the older Fantom FA. They fixed everything that was wrong with it, and now the sound quality sounds really beefy and solid. Time to trade up!
You’ll love it.
The only downside (for me) is the sequencer, I prefer the one from the FA
The video is beautiful. And Roland Fantom-0 is a powerhouse. But the volume of the narrative voice is very high, it covers the sound too much. These types of videos deserve professional mixing.
Thanks. This looks like an updated FA06 which I bought and sold around five years ago due to the lengthy menu diving and it trying to do so many things (sampler, sequencer, synth) but not achieving any of this to a convincing degree. I wanted to love it. Looks like the same deal but with ZenCore and step sequencer buttons.
I agree..... I'm sticking with my Motif
Hi Sean-Lee. It’s very different to the FA, especially being ZEN-Core where new tech can be added in the future. (as has happened in the last two years with FANTOM)
Any videos that clear up the Zone architecture once and for all? I'm of the understanding you can layer the zones, which works somewhat, but I just cannot for the life of me mute zone one in layer mode with the corresponding Zone INT button. When you think one button might mute a zone, other zones get muted instead...
Great fan of your playing. Can you please comment on the key-bed and action. Thanks
The zen core engine is tops and the super natural engine is amazing. Analog emulation is as good as it gets. The older F series is good but they don’t have zen core, nor do they sample. This is a welcome keyboard as the top of the line Fantoms are a bit too expensive for most.
How good is the keybed (07) ?
Analog emulation is best on System-8 and the Boutiques with ACB tech.
The SuperNatural engine is certainly nice, but mediocre, in my opinion. Their acoustic sounds still don't sound as good as the MODX and Krome. Well, not my problem. 😝
Thanks for the demo! I see it's got a ton of sounds and drum kits -- is there also a slew of default rhythm patterns to start from? Thanks
Yes there is.
How do keybeds feel? Like a Juno ds, FA seria keys or more like Fantom 7?
great demo plus covered lots of details in a relatively speaking short video. I really like this instrument - trying to see what the cutbacks from the flagship Fantom ? Fewer front panel controls and no "V Piano". Do you know what else has been cut back because this seems to do everything
Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it. There's a few things but I'll try to make a comparison chart but briefly in addition to what you've mentioned:- no CV-Gate, no analogue filter (the modelled ones are brilliant though) smaller multi sample and "sample to keys" memory, less area for expansions, less ins and outs on the rear panel.
Hi, I too was looking for the differences and this video really highlights the Fantom O. Key differences I have found are as follows... 1/ No After touch keyboard, and 2/ it's not the Fatar premium keyboard as on the Fantom. 3/ Half the processing power as only 2 onboard chips vs 4 chips on the Fantom. 4/ Xyzme wavetable expansion not available on the O (needs extra processing power). 5/ The Jupiter/Juno 106/JX3P/SH101 expansions are not free on the O like they are on the Fantom and cost £149 each. 6/ 8GB Multisamples on the Fantom vs 2GB on the O. 7/ No V piano available on the O - I think this is a processor power issue on the O. 8/ No analogue filter on the O and 9/some of the extra sliders and 10/pots are missing. 11/ Sound library is not the same on the O. 12/ Plastic vs metal chassis build. But this makes the O much lighter. 13/ The I/O is less on the O vs Fantom eg. The XLR Combi connections are missing on the O and other connections. 14/ The O styling is different and feels like the FA in my opinion and a little plasticky, however that is a personal opinion and better to demo one in a shop. 15/ The fader/ pot lighting and some zoning is missing on the O and does not show the original fader lighting for the original settings and changes. 16/ No CV gate. I have probably missed some elements but I hope this helps.
Is the zen core synth system complete that comes with the fantom o standard that I can use to make my own sounds and save them.
Basically like a complete “separate synth model”
Hello Mark, congratulations for the interpretation and musicality! Please, which timbres do you use on Fantom for these sounds? Are they paid or free expansions? Because I haven't found similar tones that come with the Fantom-0. Could you please help me? Thank you !
Sorry, @Mark ...
Timbres = Tones
My questions was: This tones exists in Fantom, are expansions or you created?
I hope they add the D50 pack for it later on. The ones in it already don't sound one bit like the one in the D50. Heck, the ones in my Juno DS sounds closer to the original D50, but it doesn't have all of them.
dupe your D50 patches of choice in the Juno-DS
Great video as always Mark. Really think you always do the best Roland tutorials/demonstrations. Are the drum tones editable, my biggest gripe with the X/XM is all those wonderful vintage drum tones but no ability to edit them. Cheers Phil.
Thank you. As in FANTOM, the drum kits and individual tones are totally editable with 6 individual routable compressors for each drum kit as well.
@@MarkWatson1 thank you Mark. I guess I’m buying one then.👍
@@leedsu12 you won’t be disappointed 😊
What synthesizer model engine does it come included with?
Can i use the TR step sequencer for non drum sounds?
I like how small the keyboard is
All three models have incredible weight which makes them ideal for live work. The 06 is only 6 kilos!
Agree, the FantomO is the best Roland (menu) OS yet (I own the O6). But I would have bought a Fantom8 if it only came as an 88 (synth or piano action) with full subtractive synth controls it would be like the Fantom controls, but an entire section of the panel real estate filled with controls like the Gaia, sliders, buttons and knobs for all functions. We would still have the menu for more deeper design. The 88 has the panel space for this to be a reality and the first synth of its kind with this much panel control. And I would have bought a JupiterX if it had front panel controls for all 4 parts (partials) editing of the Roland 4partial architecture would have been a dream come true. It would have been a JupiterX with 4 times the panel, or in other words all the panel controls on the JupiterX currently times 4, Much like the Yamaha CS80 controls. I also own a Roland E-A7 a synth arranger with the little 61 note keyboard loaded with controls filling the panel completely, every spot on that panel is used :) it is a wonderful synth to use. So it is possible and economically feasible to fill these synths with tactile control, Roland should be the first to do this, especially since it is their 4partial architecture that in 30 years we have never had full access to except by menu. For the price of the Fanom8 and the JupiterX I am expecting this today, or someday...dreaming?
No mention of the quality/ feel of the keybed or knobs/sliders. Was this an ad or a review?
notice there's no "review" in the title
@@Jason75913still, many youtubers miss the comment regarding the action as it is one of the main factors when choosing the gear.
Can you sample your audio whilst playing the sequence/song so you can record/sample your voice whilst hearing the track play ? id prefer a Roland to the Nautilus but the Korg has Audio tracks you can record to.. wish Roland would add that, then I can dump the DAW most of the time.
You can do this. You can assign the input when sampling to either audio in, keyboard only or both at the same time.
These Fantom 0 models have 8 sliders. How you can control the 9 drawbars with 8 sliders?. From the video, it seems that the ninth drawbar (1") is absent. It appears on the screen, though. So I guess we can control them from the screen as well. Am I right?
Hi Eduardo, you are correct. You can still “slide” the 9th drawbar from the touchscreen.
Thanks so much for reviewing this keyboard. I am trying to decide between the 61, 76 or 88 key versions. Is there an advantage or need for extra keys?
76 usually is broad enough to not have to mess with octave shifting, if you don’t care about weighted keys. If you don’t care about weighted keys and don’t care about occasionally hitting an octave shift button, then the 06 would be fine.
These keyboards sound great but it's disappointing that not ALL of the available downloadable additional models will work on them, particularly for me, the JD-800... why Roland??? Equally, why doesn't the Roland Cloud Connect WC-1 service and dongle work with the "O" Series either???
Can you import a midi file, then use built-in sequencer to edit/add/remove tracks?
You would want to do that on the older FA-06, this one has a loop sequencer like the Juno-DS, but better.
Muito bom. Você tem algum tutorial ensinando de forma mais detalhada e na prática os recursos deste super teclado Fantom 0? Se possível com tradução para o português.
Do you know if this fantom has the same exact patches as the Roland fantom 8
It’s capable of having the same patches (unless you use V-Piano which isn’t in the FANTOM-0) but there’s new Scenes in FANTOM-0. You can share tones and scenes from FANTOM flagship to FANTOM-0 and vice versa.
I like to play that thing live. Can I add a second MIDI keyboard (sending on another MIDI channel, like channel 6) and let that play a third sound on the Fantom-0? So I have a second keyboard that play a 3rd different sound, all comming from Fantom-0? If this is possible, I will buy definitely.
I want one. Can’t afford one though 😩
Mark, thank you for the very concise tutorial. It is hard to imagine how advanced this workstation is for a reasonable price. Do you see any cons of the keyboard?
Woah! Can you do that with the Fantom 2019 flagship?
Yes.
Are the pads velocity and pressure sensitive?
No. The pads are multi function for many different purposes. In saying that, you can have your samples "loaded into the Pads" and then assign a zone to the Pads so then you can trigger from the keyboard using velocity.
Will be there ability to load n/zyme expansion added with additional updates ? This is quite important for me to know.
Hi there. Not at this stage.
@@MarkWatson1 Okay, thank you for your reply. It was more a general question if ever rather than soon.
If with Cloud you download the sounds to the synth that is cool yet a mandatory connection in order to access them is prettig much the opposite. Miss the vocoder of the FA-series synths.
The vocoder in the new FANTOM-0 is amazing.
@@MarkWatson1 Thanks Mark, I am a bit of a vocoder nerd 😉 Must admit as a package (Zen Core, Super Natural, sampling, vocoder and UI) it is a bargain. Got a used Jupiter 50 but has far lesser features than the new and more affordable (compared to the new price of the Jupiter) Fantom O series synths.
Guys I’m confused, which should I buy a RD 2000 or fantom 08 ?
Can this be used as a controller for plug in synths?
is the vocoder still available on this 0 seeries ?
Hi Alan. Yes it is. Cheers.
I've had my Fantom 06 for a day and I absolutely love it. However though(despite how logically laid out everything is, it is still overwhelming to me(as I've always used Korg workstations for decades, which is radically different than Roland.) For instance...I went into song mode, chose my instrument....but cannot figure out why my e.bass instrument(by default)...is layered with 2 other synth instruments...wtf?? When is Roland going to launch video tutorials for the Fantom-0 series?
Congratulations on your new FANTOM-06! You will find that the firmware/architecture is very, very similar to the flagship FANTOM. I do plan to write a guide but in the meantime please check out my "ULTIMATE GUIDE" to the flagship FANTOM.
rolandcorp.com.au/blog/fantom-the-ultimate-guide
You'll find that the similarities will help you find your way. There's also great guidance from Ed Diaz and Scott Berry here.
th-cam.com/play/PLmLJ2Wanv6-C8jZnbU0o9yReY89FdT8Wy.html
Any prolam this keyboard like hang problem?
Tempted apart from the lack of aftertouch.
So what does the Fantom have that the Fantom 0 doesn't have?
There are many differences between the two. I'll try and create a list or video soon.
A very revealing presentation....I was wondering though, does the Fantom-0 have onboard multi-track audio...or a single audio track? What about WAV exporting to a USB thumb drive? If so...can you export individual audio tracks?
You can "record" sample to pad while performing. You can then record another "track" to a second pad whilst having the first "track" Pad triggered to playback via the sequencer. You can continue this process to create multiple tracks.
@@MarkWatson1 Okay then...so there is no WAV export or multi-track audio...got it(wasn't referring to sampling.)
@@HighlandStudio91 please keep in mind that integration with Logic and Ableton Luve is second to none and the audio interface via USB delivers 32 tracks (16 stereo) to your DAW
@@MarkWatson1 Yes...I am aware of that...thank you, but the old Fantom FA had WAV export & that comes in handy in certain situations. As far as DAW's go, I have Mixcraft 9, Reason 10, & Studio One 4....but I will check out Ableton when I get my Roland(whenever the hell that happens....as the arrival date keeps getting pushed further & furthermore.)
@@HighlandStudio91 I don't see WAV export in the Reference manual, odd that they left that out. Always with the odd limitations.
Can I achieve recording my wife’s tracks and vocals all just on the fantom 0..? We use one guitar and one bass,lastly her vocals. I’ve recorded as much as I could at a friend’s home studio which is 3 tracks worth of money and gear traded. We still have 9 tracks to go and was hoping I could record on fantom 0 without a DAW? Then maybe take recorded tracks on fantom 0 and load onto friends home studio for a final mix to save money… is this plan achievable?
Is n/zyme compatible with these? Just like the other Model Expansions?
At this time the Model Expansions compatible with FANTOM-0 are JUPITER-8, JUNO-106, JX-8P & SH-101
Ahhh I see, Keeping my fingers crossed!
Shame about the lack of V-Piano. They should have done like the Montage and Modx. Exact same sound engine in both.
My Motif is better.... !!!
They did, it has the same Zen-Core engine, which is the main feature of the bigger Fantom as well.
VP requires a significant amount of processing power. For the price, the unit simply isn't capable of it. There wasn't any motive to take anything away from you maliciously. It's simply not feasible at this price point.
Still hoping Roland uses a 9 or 10 inch screen on their next Fantom. Selecting and muting parts of the pattern sequencer is frustrating for men like me who are big with big hands. Even with Ed Diaz in the Roland tutorials of this synth he is having a huge problem selecting the little boxes. I bought my first keyboard with a 9 inch display, it is incredible to use, a Medeli AK -X10, too bad the Medeli is not a playable instrument, keyboard is not controllable for wide range velocity instruments.
This looks like a fantastic board and all around something I'd really go for, but for all the praising of the new SN pianos in the different demos, it seems like they lack any kind of resonance from the damper or cabinet like the SN pianos have in all of Roland's other SN products. Am I wrong about this?
The new SuperNATURAL Pianos definitely have a resonance that is noticeable and in fact I prefer them. They are wider, warmer and more organic.
You're correct. A lot of the resonance and sympathetic features were lost, primarily due to the demand of Zencore. Keeping it workable in a cheaper priced board is taxing on the electronics and certain things had to be cut. Technically FA is a far better unit (for it's time). 0 series is fine but with many sacrifices. Personally I'd wait for an updated generation of the board; if only for the Poly shortfall. I assume you aren't Japanese; so I could perhaps suggest viewing Darrick Keels channel. He covers some of this in his evaluation of them.
@@ErraticFaith I eventually got a full Fantom and those features are lost there, too, not just in the cheaper option.
@@theverysinfulcaterpillar5788 Personally I like the PHA-50. The VP is more than serviceable for stage piano performance and layering, considering it has dedicated BMC. Anyone looking for a studio option has a wall of different choices but it has been some time since 2019.
Preferences being what they are workstation scale boards aren’t everyone’s thing. The FA always did sell best, just as Yamaha will shift 100 times the number of Modx and stage keys over the flagships.
Considering the versatility of Fantom it’s not going to slow most people down in a combination performance situation. And the majority of people I meet are in that category (they don’t perform alone). I just prefer to go to the flagship for best performance in the model range. Which full Fantom obviously is.
@@ErraticFaith I think the PHA50 is great and makes me glad to have it. The VPianos to me are generally pretty bad and as much as I prefer the resonances and other subtleties they offer I think the best sounding pianos are easily the ones from the second SN pack. For home use I've actually hooked it up to my 700NX and play the SN pianos on that through the PHA50 which is really the best of both worlds other than the second large keyboard needing to be there. Overall I'm happy with the Fantom but think its pianos are easily its weakest point.
Can you slice samples ?
nope
Which synthesizer is worth buying Roland Fa or Fantom 0
It will depend on a number of things. Mostly personal. If you're looking for a live performance keyboard, with a linear sequencer and the better SN resonance/sampling. A overall thicker sound ideal for the stage/mix then FA is unrivalled I believe. It's the most popular performance board here for a reason.
The Fantom-0 is an entirely different device. I see it as a introduction/general purpose Zencore platform. The unit is a jack-of-all as they call it in the west. Can be fit into numerous roles. However, much like the flagship Fantom it can hit polyphony walls - and this becomes problematic if you are mainly looking to embrace the technology itself, for a home/studio usage. Simply put the unit will struggle with the power of its own engine. For me, I see that as a limitation - because I have a comprehensive set of alternatives at home; without those limits. The larger Flagship Fantom actually has some of the same issues at times; but it's advantage lies in it's wider amount BMC. Thus things like the V-Piano and N/Zyme become possible. For me, these are the real winners of the Fantom range and a real loss for the little brother 0.
Your usage may differ entirely and you may not notice these shortfallings as much. In which case you'll benefit from a more fully featured hands on experience, UI/modern screen and a still fairly powerful engine on the 0. Everything has it's drawbacks. There is a reason some will be sticking with the FA. Thats all you should bare in mind.
How good is the KEYBED ?
He seems to avoid answering those questions from many here who have asked. So he knows something we don't... which is that the keybed is probably from a toy store. Not a good look on his behalf avoiding the same question.
How many SRX Slots in Fantom 0?
Up to EXZ x8,
EXSN, EXM(Model)
Is the series already too old? When was it's inception? more than 6 years ago?
The key of this kbd is short like toy? The fa06 key is short like a toy
😀
What’s difference between Fantom-o and Fantom?
There are many differences between the two. I'll try and create a list or video soon.
how many polyphony?
256 notes depending on how many zones, partials and what engines or model expansions are used.
eu sempre comprei teclados roland mais depois do juno g nao arrisco mais quando nao e o display e outros problema na minha opiniao a roland esta deixando a desejar o juno por nao ter peças de reposiçao entao como comfiar muito bonito o som e recursos mas pra min na minha opiniao nao serve
I have ordered one based on this video. What am I missing by not buying the flagship fantom? I still have my Fantom X8, I went with the 61 key this time
I actually bought a fantom 8 in Jan, but just swapped for 08 because no solid info on when they could deliver. Best I can tell difference is no phantom power to mic, not the same key bed, less internal storage and cheaper build. No metal and 1/ 2 the weight at 33 lbs.
@@markgarrett3577 all of those are features I can live without since I wouldn’t record into it anyways. I received the 06 yesterday and I’m loving it, very impressed! Glad it’s not heavy as hell like the X8. Looks like I’m glad I made the decision not to buy the Fantom and opted for the 06. The sounds in it are sooooo good. Made two beats today with it already soon to upload to BeatStars.
Bro stoked for u I should get 08 next week from sweetwater. Exactly my thoughts....willing to compromise a bit to get some new gear. Baby fantom perfect for now. I'm sure updates/expansions will fillin the gaps
@@markgarrett3577 exactly! With all of the expansions I’ll still come out saving. When I’m done figuring it out I’m gonna go all out stand-alone with it and my MPC live2. Let’s gooooo!!!!

I hope the sound quality isn't that from the FA-series.
The DAC in FANTOM-0 is next level
FA wasn't bad, wtf
Krome (non-EX) and Kross1 (not the newer Kross2) on the other hand... 🤮
I do wonder what imaginary sound quality some people are suggesting exists. For a STAGE board the FA was considered the best of the entire generation of live instruments here. To suggest something that was used live in front of hundreds of thousands in the biggest perfomance arena's we have - by A list artists - is bad, is comical at best.
I wish a workstation keyboard like this but smaller and portable. Yeah I know. Connect my midi controller to my iPad. But it’s not the same
What in the hell is wrong with you? The Fantom 06 is as portable as it gets, considering all of the functionality and controls that are packed into it and it only weighs 13lbs.. People like you will ALWAYS complain no matter how good and inexpensive a keyboard is...utterly pathetic.
the fantom-O6 is 13 pounds total.
@@BUJU2007 backpack portable :)) not golf cart portable.
@@alecsbuga Maybe Jupiter-Xm is the synth for you then?
@@patsonmusic nope. I want a workstation. Like a more advanced JD XI
Not a bad machine, but my Fantom G6 is so much better in most categories. Only the Zen-Core engine is more versatile and improved over the FG's SN/SR engine.
I seriously have NOT heard any sound from this board "I never heard before!".
Functionality is not leaving Roland behind. Sound innovation is. 90% of these “new” sound banks are recycled since 2010.
Lol
Pity you didn't mention the build quality. I assume it is all plastic. Also, no mention of the keyboard. Again, I assume it is plastic. Taking a look at the Roland Cloud there is not much free. Membership is US$200.00 per year. Just adds to the cost to an already expensive keyboard.
Yeh there's never any mention of the quality and feel of the keybed. Seems to avoid answering those questions. My bet is the keybed is from a toy store. Just like the previous FA's (Apart from the 08)
I've played the 2019 model and the front of it is made of plastic will leave a fingerprint in a second. The sides of the bigger Phantom are metal but not the front. That's a shame I hope the Montage 2 isn't going to be built like this. And even on the bigger Phantom the keys sound like you're knocking on wood when you're playing it feels cheap especially to my roland V Synth. They put a lot more effort into a machine back then
Expandable ? 256 mb shared with samples ??? 15 expansions (orchestra + strings =full....???????????????? ) 15 ? no 2 !
Yeah. The sample memory size is one of the biggest shortcomings of these models. A total shame (but still far better than the 64 mb on my JunoDS).
Also keep in mind Model Expansions and Sound Packs use very little memory.
The piano sounds so weak to cheaper keyboards like the modx
Disagree on using SN tones for orchestral professional work, while these tones are certainly viable for composing and orchestrating, they are awful compared to any orchestra filled with polished musicians. The sound, and skill of acoustic instruments played by a pro cannot be recorded or simulated on a keyboard. Orchestrating on synths for recording a symphony score is a terrible sound that cannot be sold. So for the last 20 years been using synths to design my own instruments and then orchestrate. Each sound design of all the synths orchestrated is done for each song, so that each song has a group of instruments made just for the song. Song creation with its own instrument creation is truly a creative wonder.
Roland phantom keyboards look weird....
Haha. Ok.

Good grief speaking over the sounds while playing 🤷♀️
Sorry 😞
