ROLAND FANTOM-08 WEIGHTED-ACTION SYNTHESIZER KEYBOARD – 88-Note Weighted Keyboard | Thousands of Roland Electronic & Acoustic Sounds | ZEN-Core and SuperNATURAL Technologies | TR-REC Sequencer, Black

So many voices, layers, splits.. drum kits, pads, samples... it's all there. There is so much packed into this that it will take me some time to figure it all out - that said, it's logically laid out and the colour touch screen makes things pretty straight forward. Plus you can easily play it straight away without really knowing anything about all its advanced features.I chose the 88 note version to get the weighted keys. It's a pretty good touch - takes just a little time to get used to it but I like it. I thought a 73-noter would be adequate however that one is not weighted, and I've discovered I do like the extra keys that can be used for more splits giving me more voices to play without any button pushing.The virtual tone wheel organ is very realistic, and also very adjustable. Not ideal to play organ on this weighted keybed though. I shall have to try connecting a midi keyboard and see how I get on. Shame not to get the best out of the organ.Are there drawbacks with this keyboard? - undoubtedly, however for the price I don't think there is anything to match it.

I’ve now had this keyboard (88 keys) for around 6 months now, after watching several online videos I’m starting to get to know how to program sounds, using the sampler, sequencer and all the other cool things it does. It has around 3000 on board sounds.. so I believe, which can be expanded via Roland sound cloud. The key bed does the job for me as I’m a casual player and don’t do gigs. If your more of a piano player, it’s probably not the instrument for you.It’s definitely worth investing in if your after a decent workstation for a reasonable price.

very nice keyboard, great sounds

Not for the unitianated but it gets easier with use. Some sounds especially the piano are not up to scratch for an expensive synth but you can download sounds but at a price

I am a classical pianist mostly, and there lies my mistake with this purchase. This is great if you are doing production stuff and want a range of sounds or playing basic pop piano. But the keys are really heavy and don't spring up as fast as most digital or acoustic pianos. This makes fast trills and what not quite difficult and hard on the fingers. The keys are also a little clacky for lack of a better term. You also need a good amp if you want decent sound quality which adds to the price making it poor value for money in my opinion.

Just purchased from Amazon as used but good condition. After unboxing the Roland 06 was in immaculate condition, no flaws or marks and purchased at a very lower price. Overall the Roland 06 worked fine & looks great. Just what I needed in my setup.

Its an amazing machine imo,the best synth ive ever had anyway.I would highly recommend this keyboard to anyone wether beginner or pro.Sound quality is excellent,features=massive amounts.A total production studio in all reality.All around excellence as far as im concerned.I love it.A*****

Bought as open box product as new. So far so good. So excellent value.
