Roland Fantom G8 ver. 1.30 with the ARX-01 Drums Expansion Board

On a QuikLok Z-600 Studio Desk

 

Roland is proud to announce the most powerful and luxurious live workstation in Roland history. The Fantom-G is a dream instrument that redefines boundaries, playability and creativity with its advanced sound engine, revolutionary ARX SuperNATURAL expansion bay, jumbo-sized color LCD, powerful new audio/MIDI recorder, first-class 88-note Ivory Feel weighted keys (Fantom-G8), 76-note keys (Fantom-G7), and 61-note keys (Fantom-G6).

The Fantom-G’s advanced sound engine is driven by a powerful new audio processor, providing musicians with 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 workstation.

SuperNATURAL ARX expansion slots add SuperNATURAL expandability to the already powerful synth lineup. SuperNATURAL is Roland’s unique behavior-modeling technology that enables a new level of organic, emotional expression previously unattainable in synthesizers.

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 integrated audio/MIDI graphical environment. A mouse can also be incorporated for computer-like speed and ease of use.

At the center of the Fantom-G is the extra-large 8.5” wide TFT color LCD. This new state-of-the-art screen fosters musical creativity and makes editing a breeze, as many parameters can be controlled simultaneously.

A new state-of-the-art effects engine, provide a wide range of multi-effects for each Fantom-G sound or part. In 16-part multi-timbre mode, up to 22 effect routings can be used simultaneously. Users can create complex setups with up to 18 insert effects per patch, plus global reverbs and choruses. Mastering effects are provided for polishing songs created with the onboard sequencer.

The Fantom-G8 comes outfitted with Roland’s top-of-the-line PHA II “Ivory Feel” keyboard technology that reproduces the feel of ivory for the natural keys and ebony for the sharps, providing the stability and comfort of a real acoustic piano keyboard. The natural keys are designed to absorb moisture, ensuring a secure, slip-proof feel.

SN-U110-10 Rock Drums

1 rock drums tone (different sound on each key)
1 electric drums tone (different sound on each key)

This card is good of you need those "Phil Collins" gated drum sounds (since the U20's gated reverb doesn't have very long gate times for getting that sort out sound), or electric drum sounds from vintage drum machines.

Many miscellaneous sound effects
 
SN-U110-12 Sax & Trombone

10 saxophone
10 trombone 

SN-U110-13 Super Strings

12 super strings

The 'super' card series has some regular tones and some tones that are meant to be layered and panned hard left and right, for pretty impressive stereo imaging. These tones sound a lot like the U20's strings 1 patch, except with a bit more definition of the attack on the low notes, but the stereo patches sound great! Too bad that you have to take up two parts to get the stereo strings sounds.

  
SN-U110-14 Super Ac Guitar

6 steel guitars
6 nylon guitars
5 12-string guitars
1 harmonics tone
1 squeak (on the guitar strings)
