The Roland Fantom G8 is the flagship model of the new range of Roland music workstations, namely the G6, G7 and this particular model the Fantom G8. Whilst all 3 models share many facets of the technology used in the creation of this series of music workstations, the G8 has a few extra tricks up its sleeve ....
Firstly it has a larger, (8.5" colour) more user friendly GUI (Graphic User Interface) - otherwise known as a screen to the likes of you and I. Other additional bells and whistles include a new sound engine, a new audio/MIDI sequencer with 128

I was privileged to see the Roland Fantom G8 masterly demonstrated at the London International Music Show by Roland's brilliant keyboard demonstrator Luke Edwards. The demo used a combination of pre-programmed instrumental tunes and individual sounds to present the quality and range of sounds and features available on this flagship model.
Firstly the 400 sound patches are pristine ultra high quality samples that sound simply amazing ... and have an uncanny realism and natural element that will be a joy to behold for keyboard players and programmers. There's also a great sampler that's very simple to use and when you add in the on-board 24 track audio recorder and 128 track MIDI sequencer you can start to understand that the Fantom G8 is a very powerful workstation.
The digital effects like the sound patches are high quality and up to 16 effects can be used at any one time. The various sliders and controls are ultra flexible with almost any task assignable to any slider or circular controller and alongside this there's a bunch of sample pads for manual triggering of samples. To properly justify and describe the myriad of features on this keyboard would take 5 or 6 A4 pages of copy, so the best recommendation I can make is to watch the video demo above and get down to the Nevada Music Warehouse and try this amazing instrument for yourselves ...
