I've wanted a Fantom for years, but $$$$$$, so I was really pleased to see this release. My Fantom-06 arrived on Saturday, I'm working my way through learning it now. What a machine!
How are you liking it? I'm looking into getting the 08, but haven't had the chance to get a hands on yet. Is the build quality okay?
@@hanschristiantankred4927 It really is, the keybed is surprisingly good. I like the matte surface. I wish it had the larger screen of the flagship Fantom, I find the smaller one hard to read at times. It's taking a while to get my head around, because I keep getting sidetracked with the sounds, and playing with it, but I guess that's a sign of a good instrument.
@@ScottsSynthStuff Thanks for your input. Getting lost in the sounds rather than the controls only sounds like a big thumbs up. :) I've asked my local store if they can set one up for me to check out.
Is enzyme expansion installable?
@@Judasz696 According to Roland, no. I suspect it's because the flagship Fantom has four BMC's, and the Fantom-0 series has only two - so not enough processing power to run it.
Currently using this with Reason. It’s lit af. I wanted a new Fantom, I already have had an X8 for 17 years now. Man I thought that X8 was a marvel back then, this one is killer! I can’t justify buying the full blown fantom now.
I have to say that I really love your playing style and awesome attitude. So much fun. Great stuff man! ;-)
Thanks to the crew at Andertons Music Co. for putting in the hard work reviewing this kit. So I bought the Fantom O8 from Andertons, getting delivered today! Thanks, love all your demos!
and what are your thoughts about your Roland after 10 months
Most fun I’ve seen you have with a keyboard in a while haha! Great video chaps.
Just set my Fantom up yesterday. Can’t. Wait. To. Dive. IN!!!!
Awesome 👏. I just ordered my 06 version. Can’t wait!
Just found this channel, was searching for videos of the Fantom 08 because I'm buying one soon. Very glad I stumbled across this channel, for sure subbed!
Knocked the sounds out the park:)! Nice keyboard work!
Your videos are always excellent!, Love watching them.
I like this board. Roland has been my main keyboard company for decades
Jack ignore the haters.you are a brilliant pianist with a brilliant sense of humour. All the best. Snafu.
That string patch was pretty awesome
I never thought I’d hear drums sound so good in B major 😎
That’s a lovely sounding keyboard. The strings were particularly warm and smooth to my ears. The slider controllers remind me of the Kurz (no bad thing).
Wow Jack ! You have a new table.........no shakeing anymore..........Great !
That pure joy when he released the mayhem :D
Great demo, can you do more on this? Are the keys also good for synth given they are weighted?
What great board to mark their Anniversary🎶🎹😁
Nice playing. In your opinion, which is the best live keyboard, that doesn't run out of polyphony, has seemless scene/patch changes (last sound continues, ie with pedal or other), has the most realistic piano sounds/keybed and has wavetable like synth movement and live editability/control. Thanks.
Well that was awesome - I want one!
If you are considering to buy any expansions for this synth, be aware! Roland will not allow you to transfer the expansion licenses to your buyer should you once decide to sell the Fantom. You will be stuck with expansions for several hundred bucks which you will not be able to use anymore. So the expansions cost you a lot but don't increase the resale value of the instrument. Just saying because I stepped into this trap with my Jupiter X. Really bad business practice Roland!
Much appreciated.
but you can, use it with zenology pro right?
are you sure...? That cannot be legal...
You can use them with your daw
@@stability703 The expansions for Zenology and the Fantom are different, the only thing you can share between the Fantom and Zenology are the presets.
Thanks for the insides. I would love to play this instrument...
Hey @jack between the Fantom 08 or the SL Numa Piano GT
Which would be your choice?
Thanks… JFred
you should put these sounds up against the slightly older yamaha MODX. perfect Mid price range 'affordable' package matchup
👀...
I come to this channel exactly because you talk a lot Jack.
If I just want to listen to the patches I assume there are a lot of videos ou there.
I'm pretty sure people watch your videos for your expertise and to know how you feel about the instrument.
Cheers
I concur! We love hearing you talk!
I have the machine since two weeks. Yes it’s basically the same Sounds than 15 years before. Except the Supernatural. But anyway I was exactly searching for that.
I used to have a Nord stage 2 and Nord Lead 4. This pair of Keybords are a dream for Jamming Gigs. But during time I settled down in one Band, and I wanted to add more Detail for the Bands Songs. Do to Lack of missing Layer and Split function on the Stage 2 I finally choose Fantom 0. The Lead 4 can be easily controlled with the Fantom, and now I am free to set up very big layers and splits.
Yes, the Sound of the Stage 2 for Piano, Organ and EP are much superior, but for the rock band I’m at least search in a same priority for Strings, Brass and other Stuff where the Stage 2 lacks a lot. So it seams a good compromise for Rock band - especially because I’m in love with these 2000/2010ish Sound characteristics which was used a lot by Ushers/Destiny’s Child’s /… live Performances. There where literally 2-3 Roland FantomX/G on the Stage.
But I would never bring Fantom 0 to an acoustic Gig or Studio Session, that’s why I will not trade my Stage 2.
IMO the Fantom 0 is 100% for Live and controlling a set of Keyboards, only providing standard sounds itself. This Machine makes no sense in a studio because of the old Soundengines.
Get MainStage with Omnisphere and keyscape/Kontakt libraries.
The sound engine is new, not old, but the preset design is old, same presets from JV1080 and XV5080 from the '90s.
Sound engine is closer to VSTs like Massive and Spire, actually, but a little less complex. EGs sound and feel more modern versus older Roland products, and that matters a lot for sound design.
As always, we have to learn sound design ourselves and make the modern sounds we want on Roland keyboards because they chain themselves to 30-year-old presets.
Do you think a MODX would be better for a studio work?
30 year old presets 'from an era when music was actually good', I might add.
Nice, thank you for the video.
I like this guy more than the keyboards he reviews! Hahaha
Im waiting patiently for my Fantom 08(Mrs says I gotta wait until the new house is ready😕😆)
The new house needs a new keyboard.
Nice! How is the keybed? nice to crack or almost like a real piano?
Do you feel that the organ sound on this is better than the organ sound on the Dexibell Combo J-7? The Dexibel is $500 more than the Fantom O-8.
Been dying for a review from Andertons cause I wanna get it
Had my 06 for over a week now, cracking keyboard, but the fact the 4 classic model expansions that are free on the standard Fantom will set you back $600 on the 0 series to get lifetime keys was a bit of a poor move by Roland.
Yeah, if this came with even one or two expansions, it’d be more compelling
@@JeffPalmer83 I actually had to uninstall expansions as the paltry 256mb was 90% full.
Whoever in Roland thought 256mb was a good idea in 2022 needs putting on Santas naughty list for life.
Do this have a Key / Scale option on it to select wht scale u wanna play in
What about Cubase 12 interface with Fantom 0? Does it work well?
I have the 06. I just used it at the Long Beach Jazz Festival in my set and I love the sound. I used the tone organ for the drawbars and the leslie and the lead synths for my solo that I layered to make really phat. The 06 is light 15lbs and I love that. It's not really built strong so I suggest getting the hard case for it like I did but for what's under the hood and the ease of getting to each sound with the drum pads it knocks the NORD out of the question. On my page you can hear me use it with my band.
It looks huge.
I've only ever played one synth, Roland Juno GI, never played a real piano. Is the 88 key weighted version worth the extra for having more keys and weighted, or am I better off saving the cash and getting the 61 key version.
that is a really open ended question considering you never played a real piano. best idea is to go to a music store and play synth, semi-weighted, weighted and an actual piano. I have am 88 key weighted yamaha and a 73key synth action korg. it is easier to play piano on the 88 weighted keys for me, but faster on synth solos on the korg, so you have to decide for yourself what feels better. plus if you want aftertouch you would not want weighted which act like a piano with only velocity
One thing I can't figure out from any videos or the manuals is if the SuperNatural pianos here have string/sympathetic/damper resonance. It doesn't appear to show up as an editable parameter like in every other SN piano. Or am I wrong about that? If not, is it at least "baked in" to the sound so if you for instance hold down keys they'll resonate with other notes you play?
I own a 07 and can confirm it does not have these features. The Supernatural Pianos for that machine don't come close to the Pianos of my Nord Stage 2. That's why the big Fantom has the V-Piano. But for my case in a Rock Cover Band it is sufficiant. For Acoustic Band I would always choose the Nord or a other Quality Piano.
@@thortschman Same observations. I don't know what it is about the pianos Roland have, they are a bit dull and lack the depth. Not sure why it's like that, and it's unfortunate you can't augment with your own samples because the sample memory is small.
@@thortschman thanks much for the report - I've had such a hard time finding out!
To be clear, do you mean that there are no parameters or options which mention any of the resonance, or that when playing it doesn't produce any? I'd wondered if they simply baked it in and removed options for it.
@@theverysinfulcaterpillar5788 those things don't exist, period, not part of this keyboard
how do you like the action though?
Hey Andertons!
Things that were missing of Roland FA series.
1. Samples on the pads were not tempo synced.
2. Supernatural synths didn't have oscillators sync
3. LFOs couldn't be assigned to any controls so dubstep LFO ruling wasn't possible.
Do Fantom-0 series have that functionality?
1. No, and sample pads are exactly like FA keyboards
2. Yes, in Zen-Core has sync
3. This only held true to their SuperNatural Synth engine, which is rather bare bones unlike the PCM and Zen-Core engines with 4 oscillators and mod matrices, you can duplicate your favorite FA patches on Fantom-0, MC-707, and the regular Fantom and have much more mod options plus 4 oscs instead 3 for SNS patches, EGs can get you much closer to sounds you'd expect from Massive or Spire, and they threw in a VCF emulation option but it eats polyphony
On FA, it is better to load EXP-11 and use its waveforms in the PCM engine for dubstep and EDM sounds, SNS is best for vintage sounds, PWM, and supersaws, and mainly leads and basses at that, the PCM engine is best for anything else but not bad at leads and basses in general at all, but unison is lacking in the PCM engine, which SNS can do easily.
@@Jason75913 thanks for explanation!
I really like the control and how this keyboard integrates with your DAW. Though, I don't feel the pianos, they sound real bland, the organ is okay-ish (don't know if it's the same engine from the VK or brand new, don't think it stands to the YC or Nord organs), and interestingly does not do audio over usb on vendor mode like it's big brother.
Pretty cool but pretty weird at the same time (Look but don't look too closely).
I’ve commented on several videos since this board came out on the lack of audio over usb for iOS. They say audio over usb is for computers. And I’ve got a few powerful apps with some good patches I use on my iPad but always need a separate audio interface to get the iPad tones out to Mixer. so I’ve got to pick a modx8 cos it supports audio over usb for iOS and not just PC and Mac. Tested with a friends MODX8 and all I needed was the usb cable. Was able mix my iPad tones with the MODX tones and all came out of the modx8. No need for another another interface just for the iPad. I’ve already got an FA-08 and would have added this but main feature I really need in 2022 is audio over usb for iOS. So MODX it is. I’ll skip this board
@@harold12A I read somewhere it might be to do with the Roland operating system since the MODX and Kronos are Linux based so it's easier to have audio over usb.
I concur with you though, this is a shortcoming for this board, I like the control and the features (Zen-Core, 16 MIDI zones, Mainstage integration) that it has and I really want to like it, but maybe I think too much, if they did it with the MC-101/707, they can do it with this, that would swing things for me but like you, I'm partial with Yamaha, let's see what we go until June '22 (NAMM).
Was thinking of getting this as a master keyboard with some nice internal sounds for gigging... but the main piano sound is really poor... nowhere near the Kronos/Yamaha/K2700... and not as nice as their FP/RD sounds from years ago.... very very odd...
@@harold12A Hi, I am currently considering either MODX8 or Fantom 08 (or perhaps Kurzweil PC4). What do you think about the keybed of these two. Is there a big difference in the quality? I really love the sounds of MODX, but the sequencer is very limited. Thanks!
@@myrisek1 I’ve personally tried Fantom 8 and PC4 and keybeds, and the 88 keys good. Honestly these are very subjective. But from several reviews I’ve watched, if you have the funds, go for the Fantom 8. What will help is if you have a local store with these keyboards available for you to try your hands on them before making a decision
Question, can i make my own lead sound here, like you can custom an osc, just like the analog ones (Gaia, Jupiter, etc.)
Yes it has a build in VA Engine. Not the best one but still it is in.
Is this keyboard missing the V piano?
got to pump it up :)
Hey, what's the name of the lead you play at 10:2( please, I don't find this in my fantom !
10:29 so joyful 🎉
The only one very big drawback of this synth is its sampling memory which is 256mb and 100mb is free ....look at the year 2022 and it's memory Roland is still living in 90s
Are you talking about RAM?
@@dpalaoro No I mean ROM..... the memory for user samples and multisamples.....not including that space of 2gb which is allocated for pads for triggering....
@@fahimdawer oh wow, so the mpc404 or any Mpc has so much more memory then in comparison?
@@dpalaoro yep but that's a different story and that keyboard is specifically designed for live as it takes to much time to load sounds.......
@@fahimdawer I Was thinking of getting the fantom-06 for its workstation, sampling, synthesizing, amd sequencing capabilities. Grew.up with a Roland W-30, but eventually not into other gear. Getting back into a workstation has been a recurring thought.
the fantom 08 or the yamaha modx for video game music ?
Fantom for sure
Finally!!!!
Can this fantom 0 run enzyme expansion?
Nope
Is it just for lounge music or is it that it seems to be Jack's thing?
How quick is da sampling flow amigo?👑🎼🥁🏋🏻♂️
Not quick, and I don't recommend buying a Roland for sampling.
Thank you 🙏🏽
To me the only relevant workstation so far that I still use is my Roland fantom G6 I think the new a Fantoms have fallen off the cliff or should I say pushed off the cliff.... for example iconic feature that make a workstation a workstation is its ability to be stand alone aka without a computer, and if needed to be hooked up to a computer, then you should have been given integration with at least five current popular Daws (take your pick of what those Daws should be) .... And that sequencer should have the option to be linear such as in the G Series. The fact that you had 128 internal and /or midi tracks plus 24 linear audio tracks with their own separate mixer and effects capabilities is something other workstations including Roland's workstation after the G Series, illustrates what they have fallen way way off. For example I use the 16 track mixer in conjunction with the 128 and internal tracks like this. I would use sequencer track one for a kick, track two for another type of kick, and do the same with track 3...via creating a sample set. Remember on the G Series you could have an effects for each instrument/patch /sample independently known as PFX. So track 1 would have a low pass filter with some EQ. Track 2 would have the same thing as Track 1 but with different filter and EQ curves and this would be repeated for tracks 3. I would then route those internal instruments kicks to channel one of the mixer and then put a compressor on that mixer channel along with some EQ. Now that channel acts like a kick bus channel... Don't forget I have the master effects on the stereo output too that I can add too such as master EQ band compression, and others. This is just how easy but yet sophisticated, a simulation I can get to that of a real studio mixer desk. When it comes to sampling this is where they are most definitely falling really short. For example, there is no real-time time stretch and tempo locking of a sample to the bpm of a song or track to keep the pitch or key of the sample, like that on the on the G Series. Along with Auto-Chop capabilities of various types. And assigning each chop to a different key on the keyboard or/and to individuals sample pads in any order you want, to be triggered anyway you like, in conjunction with the sequencer with each sample locked to Tempo is awesomeness. And other sampling processing features. I mean come on... And don't forget about SKIPBACK SAMPLING. I mean I have my G6 skipback sampling on all the time 40 seconds maximum but it's enough for me to catch things that I've passed, played or what's routed through my audio input. The Skipback blue button light is constantly on. Even watching this RUclips, I can go back and playback what heard through the audio in 40 seconds ago. Roland getting rid of this feature was a cardinal sin, they shot themselves in the foot here, how could they take this feature away? And when it comes to the Arpeggio there's so many options. You can import, make your own or edit with ample upon amples of Presets with the ability to save to USB this is sick... And back to that Daw like linear sequencer, and its ability to add swing by adjusting by percentage how tight you want your quantization to be, from 0-100 %. As well as add, copy, duplicate, repeat, shorten or lengthening of tracks or parts of a track or time signature or parts.... 🤦♂️ How could Roland do away with so many great features. Back to the effects again another area where they're falling off, in the G Series you could root an edit effects with ample various parameters to me was just brilliant. And the sliders and knobs can be assigned to various parameters whether it be a a instruments envelope, or oscillator or effects etc of which can be automated. And that D Beam!! Look what Native Instruments did when they came out with Maschine mark 1, then Maschine studio, Maschine mark 3 and Maschine mark 3 plus. And the Akai with their MPC Touch and MPC X. They add features while improving previous features not takeaway features. I use my G Series in similar way to that of MPCX and Maschine plus because it is as capable as those Groovebox Sampler Workstations. Hence I state Roland shown a missed opportunity here, which is the young modern crowd who want to make contemporary music not just be stage performance musicians, who are just looking for synths and Piano sounds with the odd sequencing and sampling capabilities. This is why the G Series should have been improved upon with better Daw integration like what the new Fantom has now and then some. For people who make hip-hop, EDM, Drum & Bass, Trap, Drill, Grime and all manner of contemporary music including film score, with the ability to be hooked up to a sound library based cloud plus all the USB capabilities G-Series has the Fantom could have went somewhere, in fact took it so far the competition would have been left in the dust. Example Native Instruments Maschine and akai MPC now have sidechain compressor routing built-in. choose a compressor and route it to a sidechaining of a kick snare or drum loop in conjunction with a pad or synth sound, let that sink in for a minute. They marketing these workstations to the wrong people, and I am a mature man of 50 years but the people who it is overly priced and marketed too are not people who are making music in a contemporary way. Getting people or youtubers to just play the preset sounds /instruments/ various Synths, pianos, electric piano's etc playing riffs and obvious 808/909 sounds, and get excited is so bogus and a waste of time, they're just doing the obvious, like they do with every single synth stage piano workstation etc while deliberately, skipping over the limitations of the products. If Roland or anybody from The Development Team, just for a minute, just think about what I I'm saying, what I am suggesting, what I'm proposing, to put forward in the next Fantom, it would be a studio and Performance showstopper... That's why I've kept my G6. I did have the new Fantom 6, but it's now for sale. Because to me although it sonically sounds superbly great, it's nothing more than a sound module with cheaper feeling keys...All Roland, had to do is add to the G Series what the Fantom has which is the CV controls connections XLR in's and outs touchscreen etc etc...or rather add to the Fantom series all what the G-Series Fantom has. Akai is bringing out a MPC as powerful as the X but with a keyboard 🎹... Come on...
A synth, sampler, sequencer, effects and drum machine with live control for £1200, the the option to change the sounds out, I really can’t see what the haters are going on about looking at the state of the competition!
Does the 08 have hammer weighted keys AND aftertouch? I might have to get one of these
Weighted keys , same keybed as the FA series but no aftertouch.
You won't find many sub-flagship's put out with aftertouch anymore. That's the nature of professional demand (at present) as well as parts shortage and cost, unfortunately.
Jack, you sold me a roland fantom 8 and dont like it ? :D omg im broken
Can somebody tell me why Roland lose his sound quality after using for couple of years ??
That hasn't been the case for my experience. I am still using Roland boards that are 40 years old lol.
I guess is challenging Korg Nautilus , this Roland sounds great just worried it will be overpriced here in South Africa😏
Nautilus doesn't have good front-panel controls, not by Korg's own standards THEY set themselves with past products or going by the standards set by Roland and Yamaha
2:28 - 3:22 👍
Cool review but a bit all over the place :) still fun chat between the dudes
Hit Jack with some Beato keys next synth demo, Falcon. Give his brain a work out.
Is the table wobbly, or am I still drunk? :D
Question . is this Nostalgia, or Outdated ? i would love to cull my collection of hardware synths and move away from computers and vsts, but as yet haven't found a 'work station' solution that doesn't suffer from this dilemma. Maybe manufacturers don't want demos that potentially break their nice new keyboards?
The factory presets are '90s sounds repackaged for the millionth time. Korg, Roland, and Yamaha all do this every single time. Keyboardists demonstrating products tend to be into old music.
But also every time, you have access to all the ingredients necessary for modern sounds on the workstations. Consider it a "power user feature" to edit oscillators and EGs and so forth. If you want modern sounds, you have to know how to dial them in yourself.

Same sounds as my JV which is almost 30 years old :)
It's done because it sells. Which is pretty important for any company =P
@@ErraticFaith Ah yes ...silly me .
Wow, for a feature that I suspect many would be highly interested in hearing more of (and about), the organ section of this review was pretty much useless. All of 4-5 seconds of the rotary simulator, which players are particularly focused on?? I own a Nord Electro 6D and while I love it for what it is, I'm searching for a single, well-rounded live board that must include a decent B3 emulation.. Not perfect but decent. How about please giving us some real details and examples on the organ sounds and capabilities?
Oh sh#t yea fam wesscoassst
Love Roland and love Jack, but I wish the piano sound had more cajones.
That's putting it lightly IMO, the piano sounds thin as a can...
I think it's thin for effects to be added. If this has the jd multi effects it's gunna be great
@@legitimatefrenzy Could be, but a (few) good piano sounds are essential features for, well, a piano
@@didiercatz who knows we gotta wait for a patch show off video
As I mentioned above, there's also a question of whether the pianos have any string resonances of any kind, which strikes me as an essential feature for a piano sound in this price range today, especially a SN piano sound. I've been trying to find out for the better part of a week (nowhere near me to check out first hand) but can't get an answer or anyone who has one to check.
Super mellow
nice machine... I'm thinking to sell my Motif XS8
I really wanted to like these boards but with no after touch, no v-piano, Roland Cloud, and plastic build at a price of 3 grand it is just not worth it. There are plenty of better options out there.
I just don't like anything Roland is doing keyboards/synths wise these days. Love my Juno 106. But Nord Stage 3 compact is still the go-to for me. Roland/Boss have taken over my local guitar center, so I get to try all these things. And they never give that "wow/woah!" reaction you want when you play an instrument.
seems pretty difficult to use ....and why doesn't anyone play a whole song instead of snippets here and there?
problem is if you play the 'wrong' song then you run the risk of a copyright strike.
It is not too difficult at all. I have the full version of the Fantom 8. I LOVE it!! It just takes a minute to understand the workflow. Once you understand the workflow, you can make songs with absolute ease. It IS a different workflow than other boards. Different is okay. This is my main board for all of the controls and song capabilities. I personally think the new Fantoms (flagship and the O Series) are masterpieces and should not be slept on just because there is a learning curve. It will yield benefits for your musical creativity.
All Roland products (workstations/synths) almost operate the same way so if you have used Roland in past then it will take 50 minutes to figure out the whole thing....
@@eugenephillips481 thanks for the reply I perform solo & sing and the workflow to record whole songs is imperative...wondering if a workstation is better suited or an arranger keyboard?
@@ConeyIsland1952 I am "biased" in favor of workstations over arranger keyboards. You definitely can record whole songs on the Fantom. This is my primary use for this board. That said, if you find an arranger keyboard that you like, go for it. Arranger keyboards are, generically speaking, more "bands in a box." You will get some awesome backing tracks that can fill out your live performance. However, the material is "pre-made," but is designed to "flow" with your live performance. If you want to really create your own tracks from scratch, a workstation is the way to go in comparison to an arranger.
People do make music with both...it is preference. The Fantom will help you accomplish your goal if you go the workstation route. I hope this helps you.
No ninth drawbar slider. Come on, Roland.
Piano, EP, organ sound like 90's romplers. Horns lame.
Isn't it a "zero" series? There's a difference. Especially to a computer.
The only problem with the Fantoms is the lack of arranging capabilities. It's just too much work to create a full song, it's not what I thought it was.
Brass Sounds are cheesy…i found the whole Sound thin
Why o Why ... guess Roland wasn't thinking like musicians. WHERE is the 9'th FADER Roland ? .. duuuhh
touchscreen, duh
Fantom ZERO =
- NO V-Piano
- Less memory
- Less supernatural instruments
The SuperNatural stuff isn't worth a damn or a fraction of a damn, and there's the regular Fantom if you want more sample memory and V-piano.
@@Jason75913,
No, in other fantom(s) there's "supernatural" pianos. But the V-Piano is only in V-Piano itself and inside the 2020 Roland Fantom.
Amusingly SuperN is one of the most popular things produced by Roland and as such - regularly considered for inclusion. I'd say that had worth. Several billion in worth actually lol.
Soon as I heard this guy say "O" series I switched OFF....FFS...It's Fantom "ZERO" Series...the logo is a "Zero"🤔🤪😁
But it's quite usual that people say "oh" refering to "zero". Isn't it like this in your region?
@@SamStormsKBD We pronounce things as they are written...and in the case of the Fantom Zero...it's actual "Logo" is that of a "Zero"....if it was an "O" as is typed here...it "Wouldn't" have the line through the centre.
@@justaname1862 you didn't understand my point. You can either say "zero" or "oh" for this number: 0. Maybe in your region/country is not common but worldwide it is
@@SamStormsKBD Thanks for sticking up for me mate! 🤣
I just bought this keyboard. This is not Supernatural Piano but Super Digital Piano.
The piano sound better on roland FA 06 than Fantom Series.
I was a little disappointed because the piano sound was not supernatural piano.
Hopefully there will be a new update from Roland to improve the sound.
Just when you think you own the best workstation on the market some smartass releases one that is even better.........................🙈
Just sell us the sound module and keep the over price keyboard
I stopped watching after he said he "never connected" with the Fantom but he did with its dumbed-down plastic version with inferior keybed...
I can understand that. I’ve never had a keyboard with aftertouch until I recently bought a midi controller will it. Something about it Im not sure of. Maybe I play keys too hard but I don’t like the feeling of not feeling a complete stop. I have the Juno DS 88 which does not have aftertouch built in keybed. I can understand why he says that if the flagship has aftertouch in the keybed. Different sounds on my keyboard feel different when playing the same sound on different keybeds. There are some piano sounds on my Juno that when play them it feels like the sensation on tapping my fingers on a wooden desk but if I turn the sound off and play the keybed that feeling is not there.
How dare he have a different opinion than yours!!! The nerve of him...
Listen with your ears.
@@annother3350 really, the big Fantom has botched circuitry or something because the Fantom-0 has none of the bigger Fantom's dullness of sound, noticeable in demo vids and especially in person
@@Jason75913 So you can understand why he never connected with the full size one?
Is it just me but The sounds sound like a keyboard of the early 2000 or 1990s. The Yamaha and Korgs have much better sounds?
They repackage the same old sounds just like Roland does.
They expect you to dial in your own sounds if the the keyboards are lacking. They give you all the tools to do it. Every time, for the last 20 years. And I doubt they'll change anytime soon.
@@Jason75913 thanks. Why do RUclipsrs like Anderson make videos, example blindfold videos, comparing sounds without saying to newbie like me that we can dial in our own sounds?
@@oscarsheen3045 They rarely mention it. They know their audience is mainly gigging keyboardists who will just settle for the factory sounds. The Parameter Guide and Reference Manual for the instrument go in depth on the sound engine and how you can make your own patches from scratch or modify existing ones.
@@ErraticFaith Yeah, y'all do, that's what I encounter anywhere I go and if I run into any keyboardists when I am at a local music store, everyone revolves around factory presets or just the pianos, and if I show them one of my custom sounds, they are shocked every time. If I show them some of my modern-sounding house grooves, they'll be floored if they are into house and dance music.
At most, some folks mess with insert FX or layering patches, no one goes into tweaking filters, EGs, oscillators, and LFOs like I do, or making new sounds completely.
For example, if I use one of my tweaked e.bass presets, mild vibrato kicks in after a short delay after the start of any note, so you'll hear that modulation on sustained notes without me having to touch the mod wheel, impresses people almost every time. Super simple thing to dial in on Korg and Roland gear.
Yamaha rocks just fine with acoustic sounds, you freaking wish Yamaha would be this awesome on synth presets: ruclips.net/video/pb7ySre1scE/видео.html
Old digital romplers as the JV 1080 or any of the JV or the 50 Are way better than this machine
The only Roland brought it I have is that JUNOODS88 this is the only hardware unit from roland I have all of the other Roland synths I have them in the vsts Curiously The first roland product I’ve ever tried was a phantom exse6 I loved the construction on that thing and the sounds
The juno ds also has good sounds however It’smainly used as a midi controller
naaaaaaa, uninspiring piece of plastic gear. sounds 2000ish. thank you for the review!
Why did you have to throw shade on hip-hop? I won't be watching any more of your videos. You could have just said what you were thinking. "The guy in the red room". When I heard that I instantly caught on to your uncalled-for remark. You can make any genre with the given sounds just like most synths on the market. Are you mad that Roland let a hip-hop producer do a product review? I've seen people play just about every genre when reviewing the Fantom-O. How arrogant can you be?
This entire video sounded like you were just trashing this thing and making fun of Roland having a hip hop producer demo the thing. I was going to buy it but I guess you're alluding that it's just a generic sound engine marketed to joke hip hop producers. Thank you
same 30 year old Roland sounds repackaged for the millionth time, may as well stay away from Roland and Korg forever, buddy
Enjoy your Yamaha or Casio with dull sounds 🤣
Not trying to be rude. But it sounds horrible. Great interface but the sounds are poor. Especially the organ, guitars and Rhodes. Having to pay extra for the expansions? Nope. Jack is super cool though.
Well I was trying to think of a short way of saying it but then it dawned on me rather obviously. It's a middle of the road sound, for a middle of the road board. At a time when people are listening to the big boys in the room and looking upward at those. So all in all a skimmed workstation, when workstations often do compromise here and there anyway - is going to be a difficult sell. More so if people are counting their post pandemic coins. Same story for the other brands, not much release over there at all.
I don't think its necessarily horrible for the intended market and price tag; in line of the comparison videos that are also up on here vs other products like the MODX. But since it's new and commanding a higher price tag; with potentially a fair amount of clipping on the behavioral modelling and resonance compared to in other/older ranges; it does get docked a few points overall. Saving for a competitor may be a better bet. Depends on the users needs (today) though. As always.
I hear voice steeling
Still sounds fake, gret features but the sounds are kinda funny
