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 effect routings can be used simultaneously.

Feel” keyboard. This amazing keyboard technology reproduces the real
surface feel of ivory acoustic piano keys providing a familiar stability
