Easily travels the road between inspiration and performance.

The Roland Fantom-G6 Workstation is a dream keyboard instrument that redefines the boundaries of playability and creativity. Advanced sound engine, revolutionary ARX SuperNATURAL™ expansion bay, large-sized color LCD, powerful new audio/MIDI sequencer, first-class "Ivory Feel" weighted keys and more make the Fantom-G6 a keyboard to contend with.

Advanced Sound Engine
Driven by a powerful new audio processor, the Roland Fantom-G6 provides new sonic depth and versatility. With twice the wave-ROM capacity of its predecessor, the Fantom G6 contains a treasure trove of Roland's world-famous SRX-quality sounds. But what really sets the Fantom-G6 apart is its new ARX expansion, which allows additional SuperNATURAL sound-sets and fully dedicated synth and effects engines to be added to this already powerful live workstation.

SuperNATURAL™ ARX Expansion
Fantom-G6 provides ARX slots that accommodate two SuperNATURAL expansion boards. SuperNATURAL is Roland's unique behavior-modeling technology that enables a new level of organic, emotional expression previously unattainable in synthesizers. Applied to traditional-instrument sounds, SuperNATURAL enables the delicate, organic tonal changes and playing nuances of real musical instruments. It's also a powerful tool for electronic and non-traditional sounds, breathing amazing new life and expression into synthesis.

Power Sequencer Onboard
The Fantom-G is the first Roland instrument to feature Roland's newly designed power sequencer. In conjunction with the large-size LCD, this pro-level composition tool provides 128 tracks (including 24 audio tracks) in a fully integrated audio/MIDI graphical environment. A mouse can be also incorporated for computer-like speed and ease. Other convenient features include combo XLR and TRS connector, phantom power for condenser mics, Hi-Z input for guitar and bass, and line input.

Luxurious Extra-Wide LCD
One look and touch and you'll know that the Fantom-G is an instrument without equal. Only the highest-quality materials have been used to create this dream synth, with a stylish, futuristic design that will turn heads. Front and center is the extra-large 8.5" wide TFT color LCD for enhanced productivity. A first-class assortment of hands- on controls is provided as well, including eight sliders, four knobs, and ten buttons below the LCD.

Amazing FX
Fantom-G is loaded with a state-of-the-art effects engine, with multi-effects available for each Fantom-G sound/part. In 16-part multi-timbre mode, up to 22 effect routings can be used simultaneously. Create complex setups with 16 insert effects per multitimbral patch group, plus global reverbs and choruses. Mastering effects are provided for polishing songs created with the onboard sequencer.

NEW REVIEW - Perfect all around

I bought this system about a week after it came out. For as much as this workstation can do it is very easy to use and get around from menu to menu. The sounds are perfect and the fantom has a wide range of them to choose from so no matter what one could want to play it has them. I have played with almost all the leading keybords from the motif xs to the korg M3 and the fantom to me stands above them all. The sequencer is better then any other i have tryed on a workstation. The only down side which is very small for what it is would be i wish the G7 and G6 would have the same keys that the G8 has only semi weighted. Not a big problem like i said but something i wish they would have put on all models. Other then that its all thumbs up for me and i would suggest this product to anyone looking for the future of workstations to look at the fantom G's

NEW REVIEW - It is Fairly...

Pretty Friggin nice compared to using a computer to sequence a track. The Interface cant get any easier, I had a few problems with it when I got it but I downloaded the update and everything is grand, this is a close as you will get to working on an open labs product because it simplifies rather than multiplies your duties and makes music alot more fun to make. Its very durable, I move it around without a case, its almost like handles built into the endbells. Great Buy, Every sound u need is here, and not bad pricing at all. 5/5.
