Sounds & Synthesis

Roland has dug deep into their spendy pants with the FANTOM-06, equipping their synthesizer workstation with over 3500 sounds and over 90 Drum kits, as well as a Mix of their current synthesizers ZenCore, SuperNATURAL and Virtual Tone Wheel Organ. Thrilling synthesizer sounds, rich basses, strings, organ, piano, guitar, brass, choir, wind instruments and more; the selection in FANTOM is sheer remarkable! The typical Roland sound architecture has been retained in that each sound can still consist of up to four parts. However, the parts correspond to a complete, extensive synthesizer voice at FANTOM , including their own oscillator and filter models, envelopes, modulation assignments and, of course, their own volume and pan settings.

Sequencer & Sampler

The sequencer of the FANTOM-06 offers parallel different recording and composing concepts, which perfectly support the "genre typical" recording methods. Instead of recording all tracks in one pattern "like before", the FANTOM offers the possibility to combine the 16 tracks freely and to use them independently. Songs can be arranged classically linear or in the clip sequencer (comparable with Ableton Live). The TR/step sequencer, which also masters sub steps and ratching, is ideally suited for programming rhythms. The perfectly played piano or the funky organ can be recorded in real time, optionally with or without note quantization. The same applies to the 16 pads, which fire off individual sounds from the internal sound generation, or their own samples. This way of working of the pads is known from Akai's MPC series. The sampler is also hidden behind the pads; with eight-fold polyphony, four banks of 16 pads each can be assigned. Sounds and Loops can be up to 2GB in size, time stretching is of course also offered for Loops . Likewise an extensively equipped Arpeggiator and a Chord Memory function belong to the refined play-in aids of the FANTOM.
