• Fantom-06 includes over 3500 professional sounds and over 90 drum kits from Roland's immense trendsetting library, with further expansion available through Roland Cloud. Create with synthesizers and rhythm sounds that have defined entire musical genres. Build organic compositions with pianos and other acoustic instruments, or shape sounds of the future with a deep array of modern synthesis tools.

• Explore the influential sounds of Roland's storied past and craft the sounds of tomorrow with the ZEN-Core Synthesis System, the company's most advanced synth engine to date.

• With Roland's SuperNATURAL technology, you can play nearly any acoustic instrument imaginable with unparalleled sound quality, and authentic articulations and response.

• Fantom-06's SuperNATURAL pianos play and respond just like their acoustic counterparts, and you have a range of onboard tools to customize them for your style and touch.

• Evolved from the famous VK organ series, the Virtual ToneWheel engine faithfully emulates the sound-generating process of a real tone-wheel organ, backed by quick-fire playability and direct control with the touchscreen, sliders, and knobs.

• Designed for nonstop music creation, Fantom-06 lets you realize musical ideas as quickly as they come. The color touchscreen provides instant interactive control, and the hi-res knobs deliver organic, ultra-detailed response. There's also a dedicated synthesizer section with oscillator, filter, and envelope controls, plus buttons and pads for sequencing, triggering, and more.

• Using Fantom-06’s intuitive sampling tools, you can easily expand and personalize your musical palette by capturing internal sounds, hardware devices, DAW tracks, and more. Capture directly to the pads for triggering or the keyboard for instant pitched sounds or build detailed multisamples to create new ZEN-Core tones.

• Connect a mic to the rear-panel input and sing in the studio or onstage with high-quality processing from Fantom-06’s wide-ranging effects. Or, fire up the 32-band stereo vocoder and use the expressive power of your voice to create classic VP-style ensemble tones, robot voices, otherworldly textures, and more.

• With Roland Cloud, you can dive even deeper into the historic and ever-evolving world of Roland synthesizers. Model Expansions let you infuse Fantom-06 with the authentic sounds and unique characteristics of the Jupiter-8, Juno-106, and other vintage icons. And with the growing selection of Wave Expansions, Sound Packs, Sample Packs, and more, you’ll always keep your music sounding fresh. To get started, you can download 15 Wave Expansions and 10 Sound Packs (free downloads).

• Fantom-06 slides seamlessly into modern production setups with a built-in 4x32 USB audio interface, while native integration with Logic Pro, MainStage, and Ableton Live lets you interact with the software using the touchscreen and hardware controls. Going further, you can freely combine soft synths with onboard sounds and interface with your favorite MIDI hardware via the dedicated MIDI output.

• At 13 lb, Fantom-06 is easy to carry from your home studio setup to rehearsal rooms and performance stages. It weighs significantly less than standard professional 61-note keyboards thanks to its molded body design that's sleek, attractive, and ultrarugged.

• With custom creative spaces called Scenes, you can store sounds, patterns, performance layouts, templates, and more, and recall them with a single touch. A Scene can also be an entire song or section of a song, and multiple scenes can be chained together and switched seamlessly with no gaps or glitches.

• Fantom-06 makes it easy to create long evolving passages, modular-style animated textures, and sounds with deeply intricate movement. You have two LFOs per partial and four partials per tone—and since you can stack 16 tones, that’s a staggering 128 LFOs per voice. Step LFOs are also available with 16 steps of beat-synced automation and 35 curve choices per step.

• Different musical genres need diverse production styles and specialized tools. You can capture music in a variety of ways with Fantom-06's 16-track MIDI sequencer—from real-time and step sequencing to the famous TR-REC pattern sequencer inspired by iconic Roland drum machines like the TR-808 and TR-909.

• Some players like levers or mod wheels, while others prefer external pedals. With Fantom-06, you can use any of them or all of them. And there's even a dedicated USB device port to extend your workflow with your favorite USB MIDI controller.
