If you know anything about synths, then you know Roland is one of the best around. They have established themselves as the brand to beat when it comes to creating reliable synths with advanced features, and the Roland Fantom-G8 88-key workstation is no exception. I myself am a HUGE Roland fan… always have been, and most likely always will be.

 

It’s my belief that the Roland Fantom-G8 Workstation has something to offer every musician, well at least the musician with money to spend. Let’s face facts… this synth ain’t cheap!

 

Cutting Edge Sound Engine for Maximum Depth and Versatility

If you either want the latest and greatest in audio technology, or your profession NEEDS you to have access to the most developed, richest quality sounds available, then the Roland Fantom-G8 Workstation is worth taking a serious look into.

 

With 4 brand new piano sounds, this workstation will allow you to tailor your piano to play literally any style of music, and it’ll sound marvelous while you’re doing it. Of course, there’s more than ultra-realistic piano available. The Roland Fantom-G8 has a veritable treasure trove of SRX sounds available for you to choose from. Even more powerful is the ability to easily add in new sound sets and dedicated synth engines.

 

In other words, YOU are the limiting factor with this instrument, not the technology.

 

Creation is Easy with an 8.5″ Wide Color LCD

I’ve seen some pretty slick GUIs in the past, but nothing sticks in my mind the same way the vivid LCD of the Roland Fantom-G8 Workstation does. Literally like reading off of a piece of paper, this hyper advanced tool will allow you to easily customize your songs and tones without leaving the keyboard.

 

The wide LCD adds in a large assortment of controls to the already expansive dashboard.

 

Fully Featured On Board Sequencer w/ Mouse Capabaility

For the first time EVER, you can actually hook your mouse up to your keyboard, so that music creation is extremely fast and easy to do WITHIN the actual synthesizer workstation. The Roland Fantom-G8 is an all-in-one solution, so you won’t find yourself limited without a computer like you would with most other workstation’s sequencers.

 

You get a full 128 tracks with 24 audio tracks, and it’s fully MIDI integrated for even more flexibility. You can even hook up a mic via the XLR / TRS connector, or play some guitar or bass through the HiZ Input.

 

Roland Fantom-G8 has a Natural ‘Ivory Feel’ Keyboard

If you want the most realistic piano feel available in a synthesizer workstation, then you should get your grubby little fingers on the keys of this workstation synth. You’ll quickly notice the difference, as the newly re-designed “ivory feel” keys successfully replicate the true feel of an acoustic piano’s keys.

 

You’ll quickly notice, too, that the piano has been designed with a new surface material that’s aim is to reduce the ‘click’ noise when you press a key. Playing on this Roland is a pleasure; smooth and realistic to the point that even the pickiest pianist should be satisfied.

 

If you’re still not convinced that the Roland Fantom-G8 Workstation would make a good addition to your musical arsenal, then I suggest you take some time to review the product page for more information. It is a big purchase, so you definitely want to read up on the specs and see what other reviewers have to say about it. This is one of the most powerful synthesizers on the market, with a slew of features that I simply can’t cover all in one spot. Hey, that’s what the users manual is for! Really though, I hope you take the time to check out the Roland Fantom-G8; it really is a sweet workstation.
