  • First released in 2001 (exactly 20 years ago at the time of filming) the first version of the FANTOM by Roland is still a strong synth. Check out what it can do with a simple piano sound (6:00).

    Wow that is a very good looking keyboard for the time. Hopefully entry level keyboards will get a monochrome screen in the future.

    Mate, Thank You for this Video.... The Original Fatom is still a good choice for a Nice Synth.... I almost bought one of these, but I found a very awesome deal on a FA06, so I went with it!

    It has the same sound engine as the XV-5050. Only the mono piano samples show its age. For the rest, the sounds are still very usable.

    This was my first TRUE Workstation!! Paid for it ALL by myself. Cost me $1000 at the time. It is a great workstation however I sold it after while due to the key length being a little shorter on this model for whatever reason.

    I'm passing on one for $500.00 in 2023 no usb , no sampler, and it sounds a little dated for the time . If i could have got it for $300 I would have probably bought it maybe.
