My take on the new Fantom G
« on: May 05, 2008, 10:22:03 PM »
Went to a Guitar Center the other day to play the new Fantom. It has one of the largest screens of any workstations. Not quite as large as a Neko. On top of the screen being large it is crystal clear, and the viewing angle beats the Motif XS. The pianos are wonderful. Typical Roland, but gone a step further. The keys on the 88 version feel nice. I really liked the texture on the black keys. I would have never though that anyone would touch the Kawai MP8 in weighted action but Roland did. Its got some useful features, like doubling as an audio interface via usb, a xlr input, and you can hook a mouse up to it. Roland has a winner with this one. I must say if I had $3500 burning a hole in my pocket, I would consider this board.

The last time I went to GC, they still had the old one. I'll check it out on thursday. I hope the keys are better than the old one.

I own the new G8 and let me tell you it is out of this world :o It has the largest LCD screen I have ever seen on a piano , and the clarity of the instruments are incredible. Not to mention Roland has added a new state of the art chip with powerful capabilities. Yall the strings on here are unlike anything I have ever heard. It has realistic sounding strings, piano of course is incredible, and some new funny sounding leads too. THIS IS HOT NO JOKE, might be something you want to invest in, I assure you it doesn't dissappoint!!!! I got a track coming out soon of me on it, I will upload it soon!!!
