Roland FANTOM-08

What we say:

At A Glance:

The FANTOM-08 by Roland is a streamlined version of the flagship FANTOM workstation. FANTOM-08 takes the most essential elements like the multiple sound engines, multisampling, pattern and clip-based sequencing and real-time controls straight out of the FANTOM. The result is an extremely powerful workstation synthesizer that's lighter and more portable, yet features a huge amount of DSP power for smooth operation, making it ideal for professional working musicians.

Features We Love:

FANTOM-08 features an unbelievable library of sounds and leaves room for expansion via sampling and Roland's state of the art ZEN-Core. In addition to the outstanding SuperNATURAL sound library, Virtual ToneWheel organ, Vocoder, the ZEN-Core library features a new form of synthesis that's used in the latest Roland synthesizers and software, where sounds can be created saved, shared and imported by and from other Roland synths that feature the ZEN-Core engine.

FANTOM-08 is also compatible with the flagship FANTOM Scenes that use ZEN-Core, SuperNATURAL, and Virtual ToneWheel Organ sounds.
