The interface overall on the Fantom is a huge step forward and a major achievement for them. You can directly record into your Fantom and I believe this is a huge win. You can tweak your V-Piano sounds with it, as well as record and sample, all within minutes of each other. The way the touchscreen works is actually quite simple. Roland set this up perfectly and I think this will help it grow in popularity. The touch-screen is beastly on this keyboard. You can instantly tweak and create your own synths just like that. This is the creation or synthesizer side of the workstation. Looking at the right side you will see the following:

8 endless encoders(Double as Harmonic drawbars for Tone-wheel Organ).

If we go back to the left side you will see the following: If you want to do a filter sweep or tweak a parameter, you will see it on your interface of the Fantom. I am going to mention this several times as I truly believe this is a huge selling point. Note: Everything is visual with the Fantom. This is an extremely unique design as Roland has laid the Fantom out to have a synthesizer side and a MIDI controller side. If you view the left side of the Fantom, you will be observing the MIDI controller side. Roland laid this keyboard out in a very unique way. With this being said, I owned and did national tours with the Fantom G8 and I was always okay. People will definitely comment on the weight of this keyboard as this is quite heavy. The one negative with the design of this keyboard is the overall weight. While it slightly resembles some of the heavy-hitters like the Montage, it also brings its own uniqueness to the table. I personally think that Roland crushed it in this department. You will notice that the overall design of the Fantom has greatly changed. With that being said, some people actually love it and use it quite often. I personally never really loved this feature, so it doesnвЂ™t really bother me. Note: The new Fantom does not have the famous D-beam controller function. I strongly suggest checking out these other guides that IвЂ™ve created to help you with your musical journey. The touchscreen controls and parameters that you can tweak directly from your Fantom is out of this world. With this being said, the DAW integration is easily the best available in any workstation. I highly recommend checking it out if youвЂ™re enjoying this read on the Fantom. Note: I have a complete guide on Roland keyboards that breaks down everything about the company and all of their products. I used the G8 as a MIDI controller before MIDI keyboards really grew in popularity and it worked seamlessly, even 10 years ago. The MIDI integration with Roland keyboards, in general, has always been spot-on. It is my opinion that the Roland Fantom is going to become the workstation giant in the next coming months to years as I feel like Roland has nailed some extremely important features, including its ability to work flawlessly with analog synths and as a MIDI controller. I owned the Fantom G8 for about 10 years and I got every penny out of that keyboard as possible, before getting the FA-08. My first thoughts upon looking at the Fantom is that it looks sleek, dynamic, beautiful, and ready to be played. The Fantom is available in the following sizes:
