New Roland FANTOM-08 - Quick demo by gattobus

[@misterkerr7129]

I have a fantom 08 but I can only dream of using it like the way you do. Awesome !

[@cary67]

I'm a guitarist who was inspired by your videos more than 5 years ago. I've been buying synths like crazy ever since, learning and playing. You are a master.

[@amackclassic6737]

I just bought this today. Super excited to finally have a Fantom. I've been playing them in music stores since I was 18. 18 later and one will finally be in my home. Never give up guys!!!

[@amackclassic6737]

@Captain slow I love it man. I upload videos about it too if you wanna check them out before buying one.

[@drindy5166]

Congrats. Killer purchase for sure. I have a KORG Triton myself but have been eyeballing these and watching a lot of vids on them.

[@oliveruecker4919]

Hi there! Bought this beauty 4 week ago after watching this video again and again. There is a video from Marc Watson out here. Very inspiring. Have fun with your new Fantom 0 and welcome to the club.

[@hooyah_whit7054]

I will be making the same purchase soon, Brothers!!!!

[@arthur5261]

I'm in too!

[@luxoverb]

This is great, a nice example of getting the subtleties of envelope setting right. Much appreciated alternative to hyper-modulated bleeping and blatting and robotic looping - all things that have a place, but it’s really nice to hear someone really playing the sound and the music. Thanks, Gattobus! Always appreciate your work.

[@hooyah_whit7054]

Absolutely amazing demo!!! The more vids I see on the Fantom O series, the more solid I am on my decision to get one! Thanx for this!!!!

[@mac651000]

Basically, Roland have done to the Fantom what Yamaha did to the Montage. Create a more affordable version of it, albeit without all of the gifts available on the premium model. Well done. About time.

[@roggyo]

Yes and no. Yamaha MODX is literally the same as Montage. It has the same possibilities as Montage, except aftertouch and less faders and knobs. On the other side Roland Fantom-0 series doesn’t have nZyme and V-piano, like it’s flagship brother. So it’s not the same keyboard with less controllers, comparing to MODX and Montage, because it has less possibilities than Fantom.

[@X22GJP]

@@roggyo Umm, no, MODX is literally NOT the same as Montage, which you quite clearly go on to confirm and contradict yourself. There are loads of differences which justify the lower price of MODX, some I/O related, some build related, there's polyphony differences so they literally CANNOT play the same music, and MODX can only have 4 layered parts when switching performances. They may have the same underlying sound engines, but they absolutely cannot get the same out of it, so by logical inference they are literally not the same. I completely understand where you are coming from with regards to engines available, but then again, n/zyme isn't part of OS 3.0 anyway and is a paid extra (albeit a worthy one and justifies owning a Fantom over Fantom-0 in my opinion).

[@roggyo]

@@X22GJP Yes you are right about polyphony, built quality etc. I would add that Montage has better AD/DA converters as well and obviously better sound (majority don’t hear the difference but trained ear hears the difference in sound). Aftertouch doesn’t have nor MODX nor Fantom- 0. I know that for nZyme you have to pay extra money but it doesn’t work on Fantom - 0 series (even if you buy it), comparing to Montage and MODX, where literally everything what you buy for Montage you can use it and play on MODX and vise versa. I don’t understand what do you mean with - “MODX can have only 4 layered parts when switching performances”? Edit: MODX can have the same amount of layers and parts and scenes per performance as Montage. Variations of one performance are called scenes on Yamaha synths and there are 8 on both MODX and Montage. And on both synths Montage and MODX you can put the same amount of layers per performance, that’s why I didn’t understand what do you mean. Difference is only built quality, number of controllers, polyphony and aftertouch. That’s it. Otherwise whatever you can do on Montage you can do it on MODX as well, no limitations regarding programming possibilities.

[@rickhunter6185]

I've heard the Montage and the MODX and the Montage has richer sounds, with more dynamics, the AD/DA also makes a big difference in quality sound, MODX's AD/DA looks like cheaper one

[@roggyo]

@@rickhunter6185 The difference in sound between the two is because of AD/DA converters, no other differences, they have the same sound engines, but converters obviously make the difference, just not a huge difference for average ear. Majority ppl even don’t hear the difference on blind test. But there is a difference and it should be because of the price. I suppose flagship Fantom has better AD/DA converters comparing to Fantom 0 as well. If there wouldn’t be any differences, no one would buy flagship models. My point is that Fantom 0 has more limitations than MODX comparing to their flagship brothers. Otherwise I prefer Yamaha samples, but I love Roland for synth sounds. Roland samples sound a bit outdated.

Ive been fooling around with synths ever since the mid 80's. I absolutely love them. For awhile in the late 90's early 2000's i got addicted to buying keyboards and and rack units. My ex wife said i was a little obsessed. That was an understatement lol. But every year i think well cant do much more with them and eveey year i get proven wrong. This is some very beautiful sounds and some great playing.

Great Sound All I Can Say Overall Dynamic.

[@mr.kreker1387]

Hello ! Awesome sound. What can you tell me about the PH 4 keyboard board. Do the weighted keys feel comfortable? So far I've only dealt with Syntesiser keyboard beds.

[@SirAntBo]

🕵🏿‍♀️Any feedback⁉️

[@ErraticFaith]

The PHA-4 is I believe the best action at the pricepoint > for its intended use. However you need to be mindful of what it was designed for. A live gigging board; is not going to be aimed at imitating the flagship Fantom PHA-50. Or one of the great 'tanks' of acoustic reproduction such as the Kawai Mp11. Gosh is that one heavy to move. That 'intended use' then; is as a live performance keyboard bringing the engine to a range of keybeds that are either synth/lead/general purpose orientated, or Piano leaning instead (08). Nothing that isn't obvious there. Feel is very personal. Some hate Korg Rh3 - some pianists swear by it. Others are disappointed that Yamaha might have forgotten escapement on Nh3 - some conservatoire graduates actually prefer that! (return speed). So it's very very difficult to answer a question like this -- beyond general design. It was made to be expressive, light (weight) and more suited to keyboardists playing bigger pieces. If that's you -- you'll be as happy as the thousands of bands who used the earlier FA series over the years. If you're going 08 because you're looking depart from synth more and really delve into Piano alone; you may want to try a dedicated digital Piano instead. I assume you aren't because that misses out on a lot of the device as a whole -- in which case remember what a hybrid/versatile keyboard can do and what it can't. Nothing by design, can be the best at everything. If you can (and have prior preferences / experience) try one out before buying.

Domanda off-topic a GIANNI: secondo te ci sono possibilità che Roland mandi in Pensione Integra 7 e lo sostituisca con qualcosa di simile ad un Fantom Rack?

[@ursullavandenbord2322]

[@Jason75913]

@8KisOK Korg's Krome and Kronos go into the multi-gig range for pianos but yeah, too little user memory for user samples and expansions @ursulla just make sure not to buy a Roland keyboard for sampling, leave sampling to a proper sampler like the MPC One, Fantom-0 and such are _less than basic_

[@gyuszkogyuszko5361]

[@aquaticborealis4877]

Was thinking of replacing my FP-30 with this. Are the keys as good as the FP-30?

[@Jason75913]

Fantom-08? If it has the same keys as the older FA-08 keyboard, then maybe. Pianists tend to love the FP30 and occasionally the FA-08, but neither the FA-08 or Fantom-08 will beat the FP30 at piano _sound_

[@jeanlot]

I think yes , fantom 08 has the Ph-4 roland keybed , the same of fp10/fp30/fp 60

Hey Sir, inspiring as always. But how did you manage to avoid polyphony dropouts? I always have dropouts after layering 5 zones and playing them. Even though I used voicereserve

[@gattobus]

I didn't think about polyphony when playing this performance. Here I was careful using the sustain pedal only when it was needed and everything worked fine. Don't use voice reserve, I noticed that the whole system behaves better if left free too allocate voices as he want. 😉

Se gestisci bene gli split delle varie zone, usi suoni giusti e sai usare bene il pedale del sustain é possibile 😉 In realtà se ascolti bene, un po' di voci vengono mangiate qua e là, ma nell'insieme nulla di così drammatico, considerando che ho usato veramente molte parti simultaneamente!

Hello. Thanks for your demonstration, but I, and I get the feeling from the comments, that few people know how this can be done on a phantom-0, if it is true that it can be done, and some of the sounds that They are heard in the video, they are not generated by fantom-0. Could you please provide documentation and a detailed example about it and even if you don't make it free, please put it on sale so that fans of these keyboards can learn and enjoy your magnificent work and decide to buy a Fantom-0.

ASM can afford it, because their boards offer nothing but that. Most of their RND went into what is a perfectly fine - but very basic system. They aren't even in the same market space as Yamaha/Korg/Roland and never will be as they don't have even 0.1% of the footprint or value. AT has it's place but all the bigger brands will be loathe to put it on anything other than flagships with the right keybed focus for good reason. Not everyone needs it. Wants it or wants to accept the sacrifices elsewhere for the RND cost. AT has a specific feel. Which to some players just isn't welcome. Thats all it is. There's no 'standard' here at all. You just have no idea what you are talking about. You think companies with millions spent on RnD don't know what the market actually needs and wants? Lol. They are businesses that want profit and sales. Believe me. If it was wanted in enough numbers and was worth the development - you'd have it.
