A synthesizer with the operability
and playability of a musical
instrument
and playability of a musical
instrument
The category of synthesizers known as “workstations”—consisting
of a sound generator section that creates the sound, a controller
section, and a sequencer section to produce music—has taken its
own evolutionary path, adding various new functionality that opens
up new possibilities of musical expression and creation. On the other
hand, access to such functionality has generally been provided
through a restrictive, complex interface, which has all too often
hampered the creativity of the musician.

The Fantom not only features superb operability for performance,
but also is comprehensively designed to support the musician’s
creativity in every area, including composition. It lets you work
seamlessly through every aspect of the music production process,
from performance to composition, allowing you to hold onto your
inspiration.

Consolidated interface design with
large graphic LCD

The Fantom features a large quarter-VGA sized LCD. The graphical
display uses four levels of grayscale to simultaneously show all
relevant settings for sounds or sequencer operations, guaranteeing
smooth operation.

Since a large amount of data can be displayed at once, buttons and
knobs are laid out simply, letting you access a desired parameter
with a minimum of operation. The interface is designed with your
creativity as the first priority.

Top-level sound generator for
maximum expressive power

The Fantom contains the same type of 64-voice/16-part multitimbral
sound generator as on the XV-5080, acclaimed by music production
professionals. The total of 896 preset patches include new patches
that have been tuned specifically for the Fantom to take advantage of
its keyboard, knobs, and other realtime controllers.

Four-level velocity switching lets you move between four stereo
waves, for the same amazing expressive power as on the XV-5080.
The spaciousness of the sound field, tonal changes controlled by
velocity, and endless details of expressive nuance are at your
fingertips. Matrix Control lets you vary large numbers of parameters
at once, and can be controlled using realtime controllers such as the
knobs and D Beam control. The Fantom’s dynamic expressive power
can be controlled by simple operations.

Wave Expansions Boards can also be installed to freely customize
your Fantom for your favorite musical styles or applications. Two
slots for the SRX series expansion boards allow the addition of high-
quality sounds using a maximum of 64 M bytes of high-quality wave
memory, and another slot lets you install one of the wide selection of
SR-JV80 series expansion boards.

In addition to four parallel outputs, which can be used as two stereo
pairs, S/P DIF digital out (both optical and coaxial) is also provided.
The Fantom is a great match for any digital recording system.

For reverb, a DSP equivalent to SRV-3030 quality is built-in,
delivering clear reverb with smooth decays.

The total of 90 types of multi-effects (M-FX) include not only effects
such as RSS, 3D delay, and slicer, but also effects that use Roland’s
proprietary COSM modeling technology, such as guitar amp
simulations, guitar multi’s, bass multi’s, and keyboard multi’s.

In Multitimbre mode and Performance mode, three types of M-FX
can be used simultaneously, letting you use different M-FX effects on
a desired part. What’s more, a two-band EQ is provided for each
output jack.

sequencer based on the MRC-Pro
The Fantom contains a 16-track sequencer based on the MRC-Pro
sequencer, delivering high resolution that captures every expressive
detail of your performance, and providing speedy data entry and
editing for both realtime and step recording. In conjunction with the
power sound generator, the Fantom is a serious music production
environment in a single package.

In addition, the Fantom lets you start recording immediately from
any mode (whether you are editing sounds or performing), simply
by pressing the [REC] button. You can record your improvisations in
real time, and create songs based on your captured inspirations.

It goes without saying that you can use Micro editing to edit your
recorded data in every detail. Since the large display lets you view 16
tracks of recorded data at once, editing can be performed faster,
more efficiently, and in greater detail than on previous workstations.

Sequencer data can be saved and loaded in the native MRC format
or as SMF. The built-in floppy disk drive makes it easy to exchange
data with another sequencer or computer.

The Fantom boasts a new Multitimbre mode. By displaying 16 parts
simultaneously, this lets you quickly create orchestrations, and
makes song arrangements simple and intuitive.
