Main Features
Sound quality that’s a class above
The Fantom-G features a new sound engine that provides a
patch multi-effect (PFX) for each sound (patch) at all times,
allowing you to create lavish sounds in a way not possible until
now.
In addition, there are two multi-effects (MFX) processors that
can be used flexibly. Up to twenty-two types of effects, such as
chorus and reverb, can be used simultaneously.
Of course the “integration of audio and MIDI” featured on the
Fantom-X is also provided, letting you use sampled sounds as
internal sounds.
Mode settings optimized for your
situation
The Fantom-G provides modes optimized for your situation; use
“Live mode” for live performances, and “Studio mode” for
music production.
“Live mode” lets you freely create eight-part multitimbral layers
and splits. With functions such as Patch Remain, which ensures
that the notes you were playing before switching sounds are not
cut off, this mode is designed to ensure the expression and speed
you need for a live performances.
“Studio mode” lets the Fantom-G operate as a 16-part
multitimbral instrument, and allows you to use all of its effects
in your music productions.
“Single mode” is what you’ll want to choose when playing a
single sound, such as when using the Fantom-G as a dedicated
piano or organ. Choose this mode when you’re editing a sound.
The latest and greatest internal sounds
Starting with the 88-note multisampled piano that was
acclaimed on the Fantom-X, all sounds have been renewed. The
Fantom-G boasts the world’s best lineup of sounds, with an
emphasis on quality. You’ll have immediately usable sounds for
performance and creativity in every situation. It features 256
MB of internal waveform capacity (double that of the Fantom-X
series), with broad coverage of everything from acoustic sounds
to synth sounds.
Support for the new ARX series
expansion boards featuring the
SuperNATURAL sound generator
The Fantom-G features two slots that support the ARX series,
which not only allows you to expand the existing sounds, but
provides an optimal sound engine for each different sound
(Roland’s new “SuperNATURAL” technology, which boasts
amazing expressive power).
This new technology delivers the expressive power and quality
of “the real thing,” surpassing even the high-quality internal
sounds.
“SuperNATURAL” is proprietary
Roland technology that realistically
expresses the tonal changes and
performance techniques that are
distinctive to acoustic instruments and
electric instruments, bringing you
natural and rich expressive power.
New 152-track sequencer is a highly
evolved fusion of audio and MIDI
The fusion of audio and MIDI has evolved to a new dimension.
The new sequencer provides a graphical workflow with up to
128 tracks of MIDI and 24 tracks of audio available
simultaneously. The easy to understand phrase-based interface
lets you use a USB mouse for an even speedier music
production environment.
Full-fledged sampler
The sampling functionality rivals dedicated samplers, offering
not only detailed wave editing but also the ability to
immediately play recorded samples from the pads or keyboard,
or use them as material in audio tracks. Of course there’s also an
Auto Sync function, which lets you match the current tempo
without changing the pitch, or change the pitch without
affecting the tempo.
* 32 MB of sampling memory is provided as standard, and you
can add DIMM memory (p. 312, p. 314) to expand this to a
maximum of 1 GB.
