New Roland Fantom | Overview & Demo | Thomann 

At the end of this video, those last three chords blew my mind. What an incredible demo of the Roland Fantom!

This is by far the best presentation of the Roland Fantom ( or any other keyboard). I just ordered this due to this demo! Thanks

Thanks for this. The best Fantom review/demo on RU-vid.

super nice demo, thanks!

Just bought one, can't wait till it arrives!

WOW....Towards the end. and the Cinematic demo.. Very.. Impressive..!

a huge upgrade for me from my roland xp80 who i love much but have sold after used it for 20 years and made over 300 songs. i save money now to get this new beast from roland is awesome...lovly demo of it good work.

These guys smile at each other a lot.

Looks great , but what most people don't realise is that every roland rompler since the ninties already had 4 partials , each having its own filters + 2 lfo's +pitch envelope + amp envlope and osc structure This new updated zen engine , which is basically the pcm engine with BETTER filters ( v.a.) and V.A osc's + real oscilator sync ( never been available on a roland rompler except the jd990 ) and crossmodulation .

what a presentation!

You guys are great! informative and entertaining! and likable! -Thanx maan! Good Job! ": )

Great overview guys ... better start saving up again!!!! 😄🎶👍

Excellent demo guys. Well done. :-)

Jimmy !!!! - The Man from the WORLD FAMOUS JUPITER 80 IN STORE DEMO VIDEO. you are amazing dude.

I was wondering and waiting for the new synthesizer by Roland to arrive, and they surprised me with this one and the others.

Man!!!! This Keyboard is really a beast!!! A consumer dream🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Could be the best funnest demo ever. Im getting one better believe it!

Jimmy is a fantastic demonstrator... I bought an JP-80 after see his demo... Jimmy is very dangerous for my money...

The best Demo! Great!

I bought the XP80 when it came out. That's all I needed. 👍 I updated with the Yamaha MX series. The only other Roland synth I liked was the JP8000 along with it's artifacts. This? Looks like a controller for a one man band / DJ performer. Get me the rackmount sound module.

I MUST GET MY HANDS ON THIS BABY ASAP !! SOME WAY SOME HOW !!! I NEED TO ADD THIS TO MY STUDIO SET UP THIS WILL BE A HUGE UPGRADE FROM MY YAMAHA PSR EW410 !! TIME TO GO TAKE OUT A LOAN !!!

Jimmy does a great job.

OMG! I would buy this instead of another MPC Live/X, this is huge. I am loving this thing, OMG! This is a winner. Is that a horizontal pitch bend also? I love the horizontal Pitch bend, plus the vertical Pitch bend and Mod wheel? OMG please say it's so ! What's the running price on this beast? It looks fantastic! I could use this with Reason 11 and go to town! It even has the Orb like in Omnisphere but it doesn't move like the Orb in Omnisphere. This is bananas! THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST KEYBOARD OUT RIGHT NOW!

I'd love to get Jimmy's skills on a SD-card and insert it into my braindrive.

What an amazing demo. I wonder how good the keybed of the smaller fantoms are for piano playing?

Jimmy’s got great paws!

Does it have a user friendly software for midi. Music notes sequence editing. What about export as wav or mp3?

This is a great example and explanation of what is possible.

Super demo

Does the 76-key version have regular sized keys (white ones ca. 2.3 mm wide)? I have a MODX7 from Thomann, but it was not mentioned that its keys are narrower (ca. 2.2 mm).

It was a little hectic and there was a little too much talking over the guy, but I loved one more look at this monster. It's not just a rompler or a V-Piano, it's a good sounding VA. And you can do weird things like you could do on JD-990 like sync PCM waveforms. Programmers will have a field day with Fantom. This is huge, and it sounds huge. I can hardly wait for one in my home.

Love it.

The keyboard seems a bit noisy isn't it ?? Edit : but this machine is terrific !!!!

Chilly Rolandez 😎

Great keyboard. I love it. i wished i owned one.

You should all see what Gattobus does with this baby in his channel as well. He also tried the System 8 there. Awesome stuff

The Fantom. Is awesome. My Fantom comes last Weekend from---- Thomann.. Iam happy

This keyboard is CRAZY, couple it with Omnisphere, Alchemy or Falcon and you just reached god levels

OOOH its the Big one those crafty engineers at Roland hit this out the park! the only limit is you imagination! now map some DMX lights via midi patches for a one man Rave monster or share the keys with a friend :)

Does Roland have any plans for integration with Bitwig (1st choice) or Cubase (2nd choice) both running on PC? Also does Roland have any plans to support MPE ... especially polyphonic pitchbend? Note that I’m not interested in using approaches to support polyphonic pitchbend that involve assigning multiple instances of one instrument, each to a different MIDI channel... unless there’s an easy way to edit all instrument instances simultaneously.

This kind of synth is absolutely not my cup of tea... BUT IT's SO AWESOME 😍!

does this Phantom 8 work with Ableton?

The synth action keys sounded really noisy though. This is Rolands best presenter. Great job. Have to check these keys out first.

I won't spend my money till the time I am very sure that this is the one I needed. Period. I need to try it first. Well Thomann gives 30 days money back guarantee, thanks Thomann..... but 30 days in not enough to test the keyboard because you are busy with other things in life also. You projects, deadlines, family and others..........

I've spent an afternoon playing all three models, patch remain does NOT work properly with the V-Piano engine - works as expected with Zen core sounds.

what melody with 26'26"???

Would have been nice to get a better recording of the sound of the synth vs the room sound.... but ordering one soon :-)

Can't figure out what the latency is like when used as an audio interface (on PC) That's the only thing I'm skeptical about. Jimmy is a PHENOMENALLY awesome performer here

4:59 you can hear that this is a noisy keybed. It needs more damping like the keybed on the Summit. And also the aftertouch has zero feel or movement, it needs a slight movement so you know where you are.

Loving the seamless preset change I already sold a kidney and cant afford to sell the one I have left unfortunately.

I bought this fantom 2 days ago. Coming from a yamaha psr s900, it is uncomparable. It's like driving a family-car and thinking you're the Stig. And then driving a rolls royce witht the umbrella in the door option! The feeling of this keyboard is so nice, I want to keep playing on and on. Being a new kid on the block in Roland-land, I have a lot of things to find out. Hoping for some in depth tutorial vids in the future. A first thing I bumped into was: where is the song-database? I saved a song into a scene, but I don't know where the song database is located? any help would be appreciated.

coooll excellent sir

is the sample section same as FA-06?

Nice presentation. Fantom has a vocoder? One arp per zone (multiples arps) or one common for scene? Future multisamples instruments loading? THX for your answers!

Does anyone know if this Fantom has a "studio set" feature like the FA 08 has?

On Yamaha Montage. When playing in live situations. Montage has 8 scene only ( 8 buttons ) below the mixing faders for Intro, verse, fills, bridge and so on. How this is possible in the new fantom? Like I wanted 3 intro scenes, 4 varations, one bridge, 4 fills , 1 break, 3 endings like it is on Korg Pa4X. Is this possible in live situation with the new fantom?

Is there too much key noise or can I change the key noice in the parameters?

In sounds?Still hesitate between montage(mode),Korg Kronos(nautilus),Roland fantom and kurzweil pc4

great digital synth, great samples, and even a good sounding modeling engine for the piano....really cool that they went with an analog filter....though it is 2020, these guys should have by now been at least just tacking on a filter at the end of the signal path. What would be EXTRA cool, at $4000, is something slightly fancier, like a dual filter section with sweep through parallel to series, or JD-XA style 4 filter section. also would be cool to have at least one VCO voice. Imagine being able to split the keys, lowest two octaves on 2x VCO bass, then a modelled piano for four octaves, then some layered synth pad or lead on top, and each layer has its own VCF, thatd be soooo great, as great as this really is. I get this is better then anything yet, so i cant complain, but i can lament that the industry isnt bigger, that there arent more customers with high standards for all in one like this. Maybe now that theres the Prophet X and this, maybe it's a new trend.

desktop version available?

23:05 that's Time! score from the movie Inception

It's not the "Ultimate" workstation but it's a damn good one. There's still some features I'd like to see added. I'll wait a while before I purchase one, I want to see what direction Roland goes with the updates.

Based on feel, features and function, which would you buy... Fantom 8, Montage 8, Kronos 88?

you didnt talk about the analog filter but all is great. thanks

Can it be "upgraded" to Midi 2.0?

It’s NOT seamless in V-Piano mode! Hopefully, an update will be available to fix this problem.

One of these with a Yamaha Montage...🔥🔥🤩

Could you assign various V-piano parameters to knobs and sliders? Here he's selecting one at a time to be controlled by the big wheel. Would be cool to be able to fade 8 piano parameters at once!!

Weird. You miked this from a speaker right? Check out gattobus for really nice sounds.

In fact this machine is very powerfull....But the quantity of sounds is only a specification.................Congratulations for this musician...

how does it compare to the Yamaha Montage?

best fantom demo!

I'll buy it when they add linear sequencing !

How are the organs?

LOVE the "creepy" v-piano playing. Sounds perfect for soundtracks and even symphonic metal type stuff. And ragtime with the detuning. Very cool.

No mention of audio recording or sampling, and is it usb audio/midi CLASS compliant??

What is the theme song at 23:00?

Impressive

Starting at 29:50 just wow!

i think its not unimportant, that the last beauty he plays is from chilly ganzales, but can tell me someone whtats the name of it ?

29:57 JEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZUUUUUSS

the keys seem very noise when touched?

Just like cars with stick shifts, rackmount versions of keyboard synths are going extinct unfortunately 😥 What an amazing machine though. Great presentation 👍

Wut about drum KIts for modern hip hop trap ?

I already order suppose to be the flagship of Roland 08 because the Korg pa 4x wasn't available I heard some guitar and all piano or sax org was super described on all ower youtube for the Korg pa 4x but I didn't see or hear any Roland playing something lively, all same boring mellowed sounds I only saw and liked it the Roland Fantom 8 has been tested together with Yamaha Montage without taking gentleman was playing both together I think it was towards the last part of the video was super sound wee coming from both. by the way right now while I was writing this some good sound was coming from 15:00 minutes around the video

Whatever this thing is, I do recommend it. Worship guys, Play it till you drop.

Looks like a synth sequencer GENOS.

I can imagine yamaha sounds with this powerful features and tweaks. Roland and yamaha should join forces. Roland piano is fabolous tho.

Does it have all the 6000+ sounds from the integra 7...supernatural, srx expansion board cards, pcm, etc.?

this thing is awesome but I know I cant afford it

oh? great!

The player has some magic in his fingers .....

Unfortunately the Kronos 61-76 key versions are not road worthy and has built key-bed blunders.

Cubase DAW Integration?

Wenn alles klappt, komme ich im September vorbei und kaufe mir einen Roland Fantom.

Hmm... the expert guy and the funny, clueless guy spewing amazement with dramatic facial expressions... where have I seen this before? Can I use the Fantom slicer to slice onions with no tears or will the tears only come with a delay when it breaks in 2 weeks? Guess I'll find out soon because I ordered one, even though you didn't offer a second unit at the same price when I call within the next 5 minutes. :D

It has auto accompaniment ehh like arranger keyboard

Hat das eigentlich einen Grund weshalb aus dem Fantom 6 plötzlich am Ende ein Fantom 8 wurde?

Nice, they've built Omnisphere in hardware xD ...+ a sequencer

come back
