ZEN-Core Synthesis System Provides Endless Sound Possibilities
At the heart of the FANTOM-08 is Roland's advanced ZEN-Core sound engine, offering a fusion of digital, analog and sampling technologies for modern and vintage synth tones. With thousands of presets and expansion packs available, you can craft classic analog synths, cinematic pads, dubstep wobbles and beyond. Two LFOs, four partials and 128 voices per tone provide modulation and layering options for evolving sounds. The FANTOM-08's synthesis capabilities are a sound designer's dream.

Authentic Acoustic Sounds Through SuperNATURAL Technology
Roland's SuperNATURAL technology powers the FANTOM-08's acoustic instrument sounds with unparalleled realism and playability. The all-new SuperNATURAL pianos feature modeled resonance, hammer noise and key-off simulation for a truly organic grand piano experience. An evolved Virtual Tone Wheel organ engine provides harmonic bars, percussion and rotary effects for classic organ performance. From pianos and organs to brass and strings, SuperNATURAL technology ensures acoustic sounds that sing.

Streamlined Workflow for Rapid Composition
The FANTOM-08 features an intuitive interface with creative tools tailored for modern music production. Scenes contain settings for all 16 layers, plus effects and patterns, which can be triggered with the touch of a button. A clip-based sequencer allows for loop recording and launching, ideal for constructing songs section by section. The color touchscreen, high-resolution controllers and dedicated synth section provide hands-on control of the FANTOM-08's extensive capabilities. With its seamless integration into DAWs and plug-ins, the FANTOM-08 facilitates an uninterrupted creative process from start to finish.

Robust Connectivity for Studio and Stage
Equipped with a built-in 4x32 USB audio interface, the FANTOM-08 provides high-resolution recording and playback in any setup. It features two balanced outputs, MIDI In/Out, three pedal inputs and a mic input with vocal effects for live performance. USB ports offer MIDI control of software and connectivity with USB drives.
