Advanced Sound Engine
Driven by a powerful new audio processor, the Fantom-G provides new sonic depth
and versatility. With twice the wave-ROM capacity of its predecessor, it
contains a treasure trove of Roland's world-famous SRX-quality sounds, but
what really sets this instrument 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-G 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
intergraded 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

sequencer.
