I am surprised Roland is finally ready to introduce such a premium market workstation again, 11 years after the Fantom G. I‘m happy for Roland that the company hasn‘t abandoned its former, how shall I put it, aspiration, or reputation.
My main question however concerns the acoustic /orchestral sounds:
Have they invested in new sampling sessions? Or are they once again repackaging the existing tones? What about using libraries within the instrument? The overview I watched sounds more like they are suggesting to use libraries on the laptop and just having them controlled from the Fantom...
There is a whole new sound engine, Zen-core, it has PCM and Virtuall analogue.. there is also V-piano... no ACB technollogy.. no Super natural.. seems its mostly synth orientated.. not even a drawbar organ.. just some sampled organs..
Right now they stepped in another direction them most arranger players like... more towards synths... less towards emulating different instruments on a workstation..
But they prommised expansions to sound engine and all the other parts in the near future, i expect they will keep patching this till its a true beast.. maybe someone can convince Roland to add some arranger features to it?
