That's one of the best keyboards on the market right now, the sounds have punch and the keyboard has a lot of stuff that you can do, it's amazing

I have waited patiently for 20 years for this machine. Thats more than half of my life. The sound in here is legit. I have played and programed keyboards but always respected the Roland Fantom series(x). There is no doubt this is what I will be buying.

This is the best workstation ROLAND has ever produced. Well done ROLAND.

It wouldn't be a true Roland Fantom product launch without the legendary Scott Tibbs! The new Fantom looks and sounds awesome! Thanks for the great video!

why do I have butterflies feeling I'm my tummy like I just saw my crush from primary school moving to the apartment next door??? That's one gorgeous keyboard ❤️❤️❤️

I signed up for free trial for the Roland cloud and went to the event for the phantom. I love how they upgraded the engines. The way you can layer is optimal. They have eclipsed every keyboard on the market right now. I'll get another Grammy nomination with this.

Scott Tibbs. Probaly the BEST demonstrator on any Roland keyboard. Brilliant

Great demonstration! A comprehensive journey through the workflow and creating musical ideas. This synth sounds incredible. Well done Roland, you've created a MONSTER!

I really love the Logic integration- "no need to touch the computer". The important menus including controls of softsynths from the touchscreen of the Fantom- amazing.

Scott Tibbs aka (Biff) is the reason why I own this baby now! So glad I bit the bullet and bought one! Totally worth it! Thank you Scott!

Man this thing looks like it could be the total package.

I’m actually interested in a Roland Product .....the immediacy of the interface and touch screen is the BEST OUT THERE NOW! Great job all around, Roland !!

Before I bought my Korg poly 800 this is what was in my minds eye :)

Scott Tibbs is a master of showcasing the features in a fast and simple manner! Awesome!

Man. i remember salivating over the original Fantom overviews from Scott Tibbs in high school. In the age of DAWs, I wouldn't mind buying this workstation. Nice work Roland.

After all these years, finally one of the 3 major keyboard brands (Yamaha, Korg, Roland) managed to create a workstation that has pure, clean, natural sound, includes all synthesizer and arranger, life player keyboard futures and also can provide some inspiration with its current onboard sounds, pads etc. Nobody actually want a midi keyboard (Controller) but keyboard over a computer provides unlimited amount of sounds. Its is not because we love those sounds but more like because of physical workstations actually cannot fill many categories (Sound quality, easy to use buttons etc.inspirational clean, natural sounds, pads etc.), while they only fill in one or two. It was not because they were not able to do it. Instead, it was just because of trying to sell many different keyboards, equipments etc. to the consumer., while combining all of them in a good keyboard was so easy but they did not do it. So, everybody started going towards computer created keyboards on vts etc. softwares, those comes so many downsides, such as bad quality, over priced, quires too much of computer power, too many softwares, plugins etc. and delşay of course. Roland Fantom seems like it managed to fill all of those categories. However, % 90 of the keyboard presentations sucks. The musics they chose to demonstrate sounds, pads etc. really annoying. Annoying jazz sounds only or similar music style. This is a workstation. People buys these keyboards will use it ; - As a stage piano or recording piano so they want natural piano sounds, very clean etc. but they also play millions of different style from classic to trance, ethnic etc. no just jazz. - Synthesizer to create their own voices for video soundtracks, dance music, trance etc. electronic music creations and/or playing, -so, and so.

Looks totally awesome. Great keyboard - very intuitive to use, and easy to make changes.

Fabulous keyboard and unbeatable presentation by Scott Tibbs. Tibbs is Roland's best keyboard presenter.

Thank you Mr. Scott Tibbs for this wonderful presentation !

Besides this great keyboard, this guy is an amazing keyboardist 👍🏻🎹

Thanks Scott for this awesome demo !

I've watched this like 3 times cos of the sounds this dude makes. Very talented player

I don't know how good the new Fantom really is, but Scott can make any instrument sound great.

Used to work with Scott at Roland years ago. He’s a very cool guy and is actually a Doctor. LOL. He earned his Doctorate degree in Music while I was at Roland back in the early 2000’s

Absolutely LOVE IT!! ❤️❤️❤️

Impressive keyboard, Roland always with great music technology. Thank you guitar center.

Awww, gosh, this sounds so fantastic and looks so intuitive to work with. I am really impressed.

I didn't know Biff from Back to the Future was such a good musician.

Roland this is a beauty and it sounds awesome. I am ordering one.

the Daw integration is revolutionary, this is crazaaaaay!!!!

One of the better presentations on this so far.

Brilliant demonstration! I'm not even primarily a keyboardist but this was just a pleasure to watch and listen too.

Not only are you a great product specialist but a great player too, I always appreciate your demos - bought the JD-XI after watching your demo. My DJ70 had 4MB sampling! LOL how things have changed.

Scott is legendary. Amazing chops and superb demo presentation. I just got the 8 last week and coming from a Kurzweil PC3x I’m blown away.

That's a pretty astonishing instrument, and excellent demo, thanks!!!

Roland definitely comes out with the coolest light shows in their boards

I'm just amazed. Amazing job roland.

As a Fantom owner I can say this instrument is phenomenal. Thanks for this video!

Tibbs is the dude!! Fantom looks great.... must play it!

this is amazing synth! i love it!!

That thing is monster HUGE!

That was that best GD demo I've ever seen! Good job!

What an amazing piece of gear!

Nice, a new Fantom to pair with my Fantom G7. Looking forward to testing it out at my Local Guitar Center.

Best sounds!!!! Super synth!!

I have always thought that Roland's music and sound products had a unique experimental quality to them. Whilst in the top end price bracket, this Fantom series of workstation/synths is sensational. Saving my pocket money as we speak.

Dude, love you see you playing.

I think this is the top of the line instrument Roland ever produce. Waiting for its price.

You would be an excellent sounds/effects maker for any movie!

this is some next level sounds and layout, love Roland products

What a beast. I really enjoyed the filter section 8:12. And such a cool arpeggio for that example.

that's a BEAST of a workstation !

I played on this today, it's awesome. The sounds are amazing and the dashboard is very appealing and welcoming. I prefer this to the Kronos.

I tried to watch a couple of other demos for this keyboard, but when I came to this one and saw that Scott Tibbs was the guy doing the demonstration....I was like, “Heck yeah! We’ll finally get to see what this thing can REALLY do!”

Biff is Scott Tibbs. He is amazing musician. We met in Nashville many years back. He did a blistering rendition of Chick Corea's "Spain." Good guy!!!!!

Rip Korg. I have fallen in love with Roland because of their pianos, and now this . insane!

Clip matrix ! Very kool, this is a big deal .... Return of the FANTOM sweet

Great demo and cool workstation!

Thank you for the detailed demo!

FINALLY ROLAND PUT A DECENT PROFFESIONAL KEYBED ON THIS KEYBOARD, IT WAS ABOUT TIME. Look Maa.. No more that Casio feel.

Ok wow.. looks like Roland finaly has a true hardware workstation contender! This is what a current Ensoniq would be. ;) looks excellent!!

Bravissimo, Roland! The really BIG Name✌

Scott has beautiful playing form/execution.

wow that guy demoing it is kinda a monster keyboardist! :)

The people who invent these things must be aliens. I would love to master this bit of kit. Grew up in the Roland D50 era

This Fantom Synth still looks very tasty!🔥

Fantom has always been dope.

08:15 😭😭😭😭I CAN'T. That arp is a straight hit.

The instruction manual must be the size of a Tokyo phone book.

The king rises again. 😎

I play on the spot improv so this workstation is PERFECT in every way and of course being Roland this does not suprise me well done Roland well done hoping to get a 7 or 8 here soon

This is the best way to create and produce music totally independent from a computer all of the tools at your finger tips, no possibilities of any virus wiping weeks/months of compositions. Switch on ready to go

Just in time for covid-19 , to keep me home , I'm sold .

I didn't even mean to.. but when I was at Guitar Center today to buy an aux cable.. I sat down at this thing and got lost for a while.. the keybed is so nice.. feels unreal.. you never want to stop playing it.. it's very intelligently laid out.. you don't get lost in menus.. you get lost in sounds and playing... making things up.. which is what instruments are supposed to do....usually I only use plug ins to get really great sounds through midi controllers.... but there's something cool about this very expensive beast.. man it would be fun to have...

The piano sound goes beyond and above

WoW, That's awesome, I like this feature at 6:01.

I really like the color red and black finish.

Welcome back, Roland!

Excellent presentation and beautiful playing by the host. This sounds like an incredible machine. I wish I owned one.

Nice instrument, nice sound. Roland could also do a professional keyboard for the studio, a combination of synthesizer with styles, sampler. I miss this in the brand's offer.

Awesome workstation. What about integration with Ableton Live??

Like the seamless feature. This is going to a great workstation.

Step time is fun, now I learned another great feature for my Fantom 8.

I'm freakin out!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥

@0:50 EVERY 90s RnB song! 😆

Bloody marvellous! Want one ...

I had just saw this at Guitar Center yesterday, but there was no price tag on it. As usual, you never can get any assistance as the sales people are mostly busy all of the time in such a big mega store. I am glad that the Fantom now has a touch screen as touch screen technology is the way to go. Wersi Pegasus was the world's first keyboard with touch screen technlogy back in the early 1990s. This sounds great, as I wished that my Hammond SK1-73 would have a touch screen and more effect knobs or slidders.

I hear they sell an accessory that converts the base into a camper van. The base should be plenty of room to stretch out for even the tallest of campers.

If Roland Just would add the full function sampling features in the Fantom, so that i could use my own samples, and also adjust and tweak them the same way than internal factory presets, as you can do in Yamaha Montage, which would make this new Roland Fantom such a great for live performing, having all the sound in the same box. So, in that case, i could seriously consider buying that new Fantom. But without full function sampling features i must say, FU Fantom, i'll go with the Montage !!

Cool sounding keyboard. I like the Welcome to the Machine sounds at 9:55.

One hell of a pianist and keyboard

Best PCM workstation for sure, but the touchscreen should be larger. Like the Pegasus WIng...

Ah the new FA06/07/08. I think you cannot go wrong with this one. Can you play multisamples on the keybed?

The best digital synth so far

Such good quality drum samples WOW

Mixture of Korg kronos, Yamaha montage and nord !!

imagine if Beethoven had something like this :D

Beautiful keyboard, great demo! Would still like to see Roland get back into the home organ business. Atelier line, BEST organ EVER made hands down.

Great work station 👍❤️ I love it 🥰
