The Roland Fantom-8is
an incredibly special synthesizer. Just what you would expect when Roland releases a new synth. With the new Fantom synthesizers you can do almost everything you can with a computer, but with a familiar interface, portable keyboard and hands-on control.Unique engineThe
Fantom-8's synth engine is packed with samples, including new ones from Roland, but you can also create or modify extensive sounds yourself via the large touchscreen. The engine consists of many layers, the base, or partial, is a complete synthesizer with oscillator, amplitude control, filter, two LFOs, numerous effects and an incredible amount of connectors for once synthesizer.Each tone can consist of four partials and a scene consists of up to sixteen tones. All sixteen parts have their own effects and the Fantom can be set so that its own processor power is the limit, not the limitations of hardware. You also have gigabytes of sampling possibilities.
Powerhouse of possibilitiesFurther
this powerhouse offers a built-in audio interface, keyboard with channel-aftertouch, integration with Logic Pro GarageBand and MainStage. There is also a large velocity range that you experience perfectly with the built-in V-pianos. With the arpeggiator and sequencer you quickly produce music if you combine this with the drum pads then you even have a clip-based composition.
TR-style sequencingAlso
TR-style sequencing is possible with a real analog filter that you can freely assign to a sound. But remarkably, you can also send the entire synth through the same filter.You hear it, with these synths almost anything is possible. We highly recommend it, especially when you want all the features in the box but also want to work without a computer.
