Finally a new Fantom

A new step, integrating onboard sounds with daw and softtsynths/vst


Maybe Roland will also make an arranger based version with this new tech. As the G70 is from the same era as the fantom

Well, i am sold, this one will just fit nicely on top of my Genos

I noticed a spec not stated... polyphony..

I have heard Roland was coming out with a workstation, that collectively could be as high as 512 polyphony

Maybe it is not known for sure... yet

never count out ROLAND....just sayim`

I went on YouTube this morning and it said "new Roland Fantom" and I thought I was seeing things. Very impressive machine, maybe there is hope for the Roland arrangers yet. Impossible to predict what these companies will do.

Yes Roland will sell a ton of these for sure...
I would assume some of those features will be
implemented in whatever new arranger kb they release also.

In one part of the video Tibbs shows parts of a song being assembled using a verse, chorus and so on with the touch screen. Style assembly could be done in a similar manner and that would be a great feature. The 16 pads could be used in an arranger in any number of ways such as a combination of traditional multipads and audio pads. Of course, we don't know their plans for arrangers-we can only hope.

There is also a new Jupiter X, the follow up of the Jupiter 80 in some ways..

I am surprised Roland is finally ready to introduce such a premium market workstation again, 11 years after the Fantom G. I‘m happy for Roland that the company hasn‘t abandoned its former, how shall I put it, aspiration, or reputation.
My main question however concerns the acoustic /orchestral sounds:
Have they invested in new sampling sessions? Or are they once again repackaging the existing tones? What about using libraries within the instrument? The overview I watched sounds more like they are suggesting to use libraries on the laptop and just having them controlled from the Fantom...

It's about the sound system too. I've been to most local park performances and have not heard one single piano sound good, live. No one seems to care that they sound tinny through a Fender amp or the likes.....I don't get it.

High end yes indeed. Prices that i’m Assuming would make the 6 close to or over $4k Australian like where they are going but I do feel that pricing is placing it out of reach for most home small gig users
