The Fantom series models represent a new synthesiser concept at Roland, which has been continuously developed for years.
In contrast to conventional workstations, the Fantom series can be expanded with new functions, sounds and technologies via the Roland Cloud platform.
With the Fantom series, Roland has succeeded in combining many extensive workstation functions with a simple and clear user interface. In addition to the workstations from the Fantom series, you can choose from the brand new "top models" from the Fantom EX series and the somewhat "slimmed-down" versions of the Fantom-0 series.
All variants are similar in design. However, the Fantom EX is far better equipped than the Fantom-0 series. More power, V-Piano Engine, available model expansions, connection options and other keyboards are just some of the features that differentiate the Fantom series.
All Fantoms also offer interesting integration options in various DAWs such as LogicPro or Ableton Live.
Roland was founded as a manufacturer of various music materials and studio technology on April 18, 1972 in Osaka, Japan. Among the earliest products to come onto the market were the first rhythm machines from the TR series, whose successors TR-808, TB-303 and TR-909 had a significant influence on both techno and electro music, as well as hip hop scene. The JC-120 Jazz chorus guitar amplifier was also created in the mid-1970s, and both Andy Summers from The Police as well as Kirk Hammett and James Hetfield from Metallica were audibly impressed by its ultra-clear sound in conjunction with the built-in chorus effect . Since then and to this day, Roland has continuously expanded its catalog with high-quality and interesting products in a wide variety of fields such as digital pianos, groove boxes, e-drums and synthesizers.
