Zen-Core Plus SuperNATURAL Sounds = World Class Sounds

FANTOM-06 includes thousands of professional sounds from Roland's immense, trendsetting library, with further expansion available through Roland Cloud. But more than this, the new enhanced superNatural sounds and the powerful Zen-Core engine take sounds to the next level.

What is Zen-Core?

Roland's ZEN-Core Synthesis System works across hardware and software, delivering decades of genre-defining sounds with the power to shape them in new and exciting ways. It works in your DAW as well as ZEN-Core compatible Roland hardware, so you can use your favorite sounds in the instrument that inspires you most.

Because it is possible to share the sound between compatible software or hardware it means the sound you get is guaranteed quality and can go wherever you take your hardware or software. Furthermore it offers access to sounds from past generations of Roland products and yet allows you to create sounds for the future.

ZEN-Core tones created on one instrument can be shared with other users or transferred into completely different (but compatible) Roland hardware. Take a sound made on a FANTOM and play it on a JUPITER-X. Or take a luscious JUPITER-X synth patch and play it on the RD-88 Stage Piano, simplifying your setup and expanding your options.

What is superNatural Sound Technology?

The superNatural sound section of the Fantom-06 is where the acoustic qualities of real life instruments are almost indistinguishable yet available for you to play in the digital realm. They take the real nuances, response and dynamics of sounds such as pianos and bring them to life perfect for stage and studio.

Powerful Sampling Features - Make Sounds or Trigger From Pads With Ease

Create fresh new sounds, import audio files for triggering from pads or even sample directly. The Roland Fantom-06 sampling capability is huge with the ability to create multi-sample sounds for new and detailed sound creation possibilities.

Effects Beyond Imagination

The effects system built-in to the FANTOM-06 is simply immense. If you wish to get down and dirty with effects then look no further. The effects system offers 16 multi-effects with 90 different types and this can be combined with 2 insert effects, 1x total effect, reverb, chorus and master compressor. Even the audio input has effects making it one of the most powerful effects system on the entire market.

A Creative Tool - Powerful Recording and Creativity Built-in

Let your creativity run wild with the flexible built-in pattern sequencer. Using a grid-like system, the pattern sequencer allows you to create loops of riffs and patterns set to a length of your liking and then combine, mix and play them together or in any way you like just by tapping them individually on the screen.

The pattern sequences can be modified with advanced editing such a microscope mode showing each individual note details or use the popular Piano Roll screen allowing you to see notes on a grid basis. Using the stunning touch screen you can even draw in motions for features such as a filter. Simply by choosing the filter options and draw mode you can draw in how you wish the filter to operate over the pattern length. The creative possibilities are simply incredible.

Real-Time Controllers

The Fantom-06, despite its compact size, is equipped with a huge amount of sliders, control knobs and buttons that can be assigned for use in the studio or on stage. Control sounds in real-time from filters to multi-part volumes, organ drawbars, MIDI volumes and more.

DAW Integration - Advanced Integration with Ableton, Mainstage and Logic Pro-x

Roland's FANTOM-06 integrates with your DAW, equipped 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. Of course, you can freely combine soft synths with the FANTOM-06 onboard sounds and interface with your favorite MIDI hardware via the dedicated MIDI output.

16 Trigger Pads - Multi-functional

The Roland FANTOM-06 has a bank of 16 pads easily accessed on the top panel. These pads offer a huge range of functions making live and studio work even faster and more flexible. The pads can be used to trigger samples, mutes and solo parts, trigger patterns, rhythm patterns and much more.
