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.

productivity. A first-class assortment of hands- on controls is provided as
well, including eight sliders, four knobs, and ten buttons below the LCD.
