Roland Fantom-G Overview

[@roland7140]

The best instruments in the world. I had Roland TD-10 the drum set and the Td-20 and now I would like to take the TD-30KV..Are the best in the world. Congratulations to Roland engineers.....

[@lyzantheris]

Simply gorgeous. I hope it sounds as good as it looks.

[@bonetmax]

The chords of HM Grand demo are beautiful!

[@redsaviom]

lazerfist888 this is the best comment about fantom and motif...excellent both of them!!!!

[@shaylashay2788]

I just played one of these today....OMG it was amazing! If only I had the money for it

[@cbmuzik3000]

I already have this board...it SMASHES all the Yamahas I've ever had...and I have a Motif and this thing runs circles around it on ease of use. If you're used to using computer software and know how to program, this is the board. but not everyone can chuck out $3700 for this board...but worth it.

[@luchuiadele]

I SO love my Roland Fantom G, so much to learn! My new love, my Fantom.........L

[@ImTheChopo]

The prince of the workstations, the king is Oasys

[@beathovnproductions]

Fantom G is awesome!!! BEATHOVN PRODUCTIONS©

[@AGtheorem]

Dude, trust me on this, go with Roland. I had the EXACT same question as you have now until I went to guitar center yesterday, the sales associate showed me this thing and I couldn't even look at the M3 any more.

[@DXman099]

I might get a Roladn G6 This weekend. I'm so excited.

[@doctorshabs]

Does this have a built in audio interface/ ad/da converter pre amp that I can use to record condenser???

[@samoapower702]

i got the g7 and its the best keyboard i ever played did four tracks with it you could hook up your condensor mic to it and edit all your tracks and tweek sounds and add 16 sounds all in one the best of all keyboard.... the only bad thing is you have to buy alot of extra stuffs like usb card, foot padle, 1gig internal memories [$100+] and the supernatural exp cards all together your spending about another $1200 and keeping up with the update thats about it....but other then that i love it

[@Phil_DeBreeze]

roland owns in everything

[@MCRfan141995]

i got a phantom g6 off craigs list for $1700 and i fucking love it

[@Diablos199]

@LAZERFIST888 Korg M3 sounds and looks beautiful ;)

[@TEXHO3OHA]

I own Kronos, Fantom G and Yamaha XF all 61 key versions because don't have enough space in my room/studio to use 76 or 88 keys and i can't pick one to be my favorite. I like all 3. Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. Only 1 thing that i don't really like about Kronos is it's Touch Screen, you have 2 use stylus or be very precise where you touch the screen on this board, but after so much time you get to use to it. That's is the only down side 2 my Kronos from my point of view.

[@TheMatrixsystem]

I have the korg Kronos but the roland is the best yet!

[@Kriijan]

the motif xs 8 would be the best decision in my opinion^^

[@therealKINDLE]

Roland themselves Admitted that the Previous Model has a more Stable Sequencer, & when this was released, it had the Sample Functions missing! But Roland have some of the most impressive & Expressive Sounds out there. the Motif is Good if you're into Pop Music! Big Nasty Sounds with no Skill needed! The M3 must be shit otherwise Korg would resort to selling it with "We invented the Workstation Concept"! Although the OASYS does look shit hot! Tough choice people!

[@HarvestHollow]

It's amazing to hear and look at it. But is it worth it? Would a Nord or Yamaha be better?

[@DXman099]

@MCRfan141995 What didi you type to find it?

[@kuyukot24]

what is the best sound og piano? fantom g8 or rd700G? please abswer tnx...

[@creatorsremose]

In your face, YAMAHA. :D A musician's dream come true.

[@KEYBEATZ]

YO I GOT TO GET ONE OF THESE THINGS!

[@pinkzeppelintheater]

im trying to decide between buying this and korgs kronos, they are both the exact same price, i need advice, im confused!

[@alexreeed]

So you can use this as a midi keyboard too? awesome :D

[@Avenger222]

Looks like it has amazing sound changing capabilities, and can produce audio with a great techno feel :P. But it lacks the ability to play 2 or 3 different melodies simultaneously using different instruments. e.g. the Stagea Electone. What's also impressive is that the Fantom-G allows customization on the "supernatural" sounds. But, the super articulation on Yamaha's tyros 3 seems to be better, but lacks the extra customization.

[@SoumyatanPal]

its really awesome..I think it will be better than "Korg Oasys" or Yamaha XF series..

[@jondough7777777]

im staying with the Roland family, this is my next workstation here.

[@1225jeet]

does it have ACMP like yamaha keyboards??????????

[@mattliebl6199]

how does this compare to some of korgs workstation?

[@DXman099]

@Slick31601 Fantom G is a lot easier to operate. Motif is a bit more complicated.

[@Hymanroth67]

fucking aye i think i just found my new lifes goal.

[@videoeditors]

I wonder what sounds are like, just read FM review of this unit, no mention of sound quality, COME ON!!! It's an instrument first!!! Guess, I'll have to go to the store to check it out, so far listening to KZbin & from Roland site - not impressed with sound emulators, Motif seems to sound better.

[@TomZentra]

@SuperNaviator Roland has already exceeded other synths and workstations with their Super NATURAL on every voice in the Jupiter-80. The Fantom-G is old now, but Roland has a more powerful workstation in development. RADIAS was failure and M3 isn't in the same league as a Fantom-G, MOTIF XF, or Kronos; it's comparable to the Juno-Gi or MO.

[@johnnyostrawb33ry]

how much does this cost?

[@maccagrabme]

Looks good and sounds good but to be honest I don't like the idea of everything in one box and it all has the same overly clean sound on everything. Does it really sound any better than an RD700, Korg Triton, Juno 106, Jupiter 8, Roland XV3080, Dx7, Yamaha SY99, Roland TD12 and a bunch of modern software plugins? I doubt it. Nothing on the demo suggests that.

[@joseggf1]

I'm asking my self. the designers of roland synthesizers are scientifics, musicians, or both????

[@JokersAce0]

@smokelahoma1 you should start with DAWS before you start thinking about a $3,000 keyboard

[@jaedcapo]

this has to cost some serious bank

[@qdagamer]

Iz it better than the M3?

[@MrVizionary2012]

@jankromurda lol I agree 100%

[@zee7333]

I can't decide Roland Fantom G or Korg M3

[@ToneWells]

THIS THING IS A BEAST. Please check out my channel for some new Fantom tracks I just made! most recently "Higher than a Wish" with a live break down using the touch pads and a mixed in vocal. Thanks!

[@DrVoxeatspeople]

Expensive?

[@kizz06]

do u feel regret now after using it for A month ?

[@DXman099]

@jankromurda Yeap

[@Classicrock515]

watch out KORG, watch out. the M3 can only be the top for so long. The oasys is still the king tho

[@44Bigs]

This is three times the price of the M50.. how can you compare those two?

[@machinery10]

you got it right dude, :))) they dislike due to price.

[@greg0716]

nice but i aint payin no 3500 for it. ill keep my fantom x6

[@ESP4thaWin]

acustic keyboard? lawl

[@98keys]

Lets see the Fantom G8 sells for $3,695.97. ARX-01: Drums and ARX-02 Piano expansion board sells for $445.97. Fully loaded this package costs $4587.91. I'm tired of buying Roland keyboard then expansion boards only for them to be obsolete with the next Keybard release. It was the same for the SRJV80 series now the SRX series. Don't get me wrong I'm a long time Roland user back from the days of the Jupiter 8, But this package is a little too pricey.

[@AnonymousAppleIdea]

This will /never/ be superior to the oasys, lol. The ingenuity of the oasys makes this look like a kids toy.

[@cyberfennek]

play the Jupiter 8 and you know why Roland is the nr 1

[@kreg001]

@DrVoxeatspeople for obvious.. 3460$

[@CANADAmAn85]

no the Roland Fantom G does not come with any of the extra software/upgrades

[@javon2013]

@Slick31601 Fantom g. My church may get

[@heroknaderi]

Brovo!

[@blindwombat]

Half the price of an OASYS though, and pretty much the same.

[@98keys]

New sound engine ? These are the same Roland samples recycled over from their previous generations of keyboards. Cool new design. But, The sound is not that different from the Fantom X series. The price tag is ridiculously high with another new generation of even more expensive expansion boards,

[@OurLucylocket]

Never been a fan of keyboard workstations fiddly to program an hard to edit edit. No good for a writer and vocalist. .. Sounds nice shame they dont make just keyboard none workstation version.

[@carvedlegion]

It's not like te mouse is built in!. Thats why It's optional!

[@HammondB200]

00:50 I hope that guy has a really small hand.

[@DXman099]

@Slick31601 Fantom G Bro, Easily.

[@headcut2007]

no one needs hardware synth any more for the home studio i dont that for sure....................

[@grimlund]

@smokelahoma1 Before I bouth my Fantom G6 I had a Yamaha CS 2X...I tried to connect this thing to the computer....bying Cubase. It never worked out. It was realy frustrating.I must confess that I am a complete idiot in these stuff. So my advice for you is that if you know a lot about computers and software and stuff I think you can buy a cheaper synth and some programs like Cubase. If you are a technological idiot like me:) buy this synth. Its so easy to work and record with this machine...

[@Inyourfacepunk]

1) It's like a computer. Seriously 2) How the hell do they expect us to actually learn how to use that damn thing?

[@DXman099]

@jankromurda I like the "blunt." As i nthe Dislike Bar.

[@Jprianes]

so expensive-_- waaaahhhhh!!!!

[@dvamateur]

Sure, all you need is a Casio watch to keep track of time. But some prefer the feel of a Rolex.

[@kizz06]

I am so glad i didnt buy fantom x 2months ago!

[@jankromurda]

how can people dislike this?? im guessin its cos you cant afford it haha

[@TheNigerianScammer]

this is too much technology for my mind

[@CANADAmAn85]

what????

[@gjc82071]

You wish, }:o{

[@slashyu]

I think ill stick with roland.. Though i want to have both fantom G8, motif XS, and korg kronos in my keyboard stands.. So I will never regret for my money and time to compare them..bwahahahahahahaha

[@mimaxworld]

those kits really sounds cheap... i would rather use Fl studio or Logic's Ultrabeat

[@COPESLANDmovemaKER]

sold my g for motif xf then couple months later, sold xf to get my g back!! roland is plain ole better. DONE

[@dvamateur]

I know, how to play some Chopin piece with that big screen staring at you? Can one even concentrate on playing music on this?

[@fantomg100]

I VE GOT FANTOM G BUT YAMAHA XF IS WAY BETTER

[@DXman099]

@UniformedServices69 So Roland Sucks?

[@dvamateur]

I agree, touchscreens are maybe good for a 13 year old girl to navigate facebook on her phone, but for professional use I find touchscreens a bit out of place.

[@JeffELOLynne]

The sounds and looks are a joke compared to the Nord stage. You wanna play pop/rock,classical or jazz music? choose the Nord. If you want techno/house music? Take a Korg or even a Moog. Roland go home!!!

[@ArmageddonWillStrike]

Ahh....I'll stick with Yamaha. Much better overall than Roland.
