The Ultimate Creative Hub
At every turn, FANTOM fulfills the need to create. Its smooth, rapid workflow has no confusing modes, frustrating technical limits, or trade-offs with sound quality. FANTOM’s creative process reflects how today’s musicians work, with fluid composition tools, instantly recallable creative environments, and deep computer integration.
No Modes—Just Seamless Workflow
When the creative juices are flowing, there should be no barriers. With FANTOM, you won’t compromise your sound or suffer workarounds due to outdated technical limits. And forget worrying about what features work in which mode. FANTOM is always in full-on creative mode, and your workflow stays consistent, no matter what.
Make a Scene
When you’re ready to create, so is FANTOM—and all it takes is a single touch. Your sounds, patterns, and performance layouts are arranged into custom creative spaces called Scenes. A Scene can be an entire song, a section of a song, or a starting point with your favorite sounds laid out just how you like. Scenes can be chained together and changed instantly with no gaps or glitches.
Sonic Superpowers
FANTOM combines ZEN-Core synthesis, SuperNATURAL and V-Piano technologies, Virtual ToneWheel organs, multisampling, and software synth integration for unique sounds and intricate performance setups. There are dozens of effects for space and depth, plus an analog filter for extra warmth and grit. Backed by our core custom processors, control is smooth and precise with loads of polyphony and full patch remain.
Deep Sampling
With FANTOM, you can sample internal and external sources—or both simultaneously. Sample directly to the onboard pads for triggering, to the keyboard for instant pitched sounds, or create detailed multisamples with up to 352 samples per tone. You can even use samples as the basis of a ZEN-Core tone, taking custom sound design to a new level.
Sequencing
FANTOM is a complete musical composition platform that excels at fast creation and fluid arrangement. It features RGB pads, a classic TR-REC-style pattern sequencer, real-time recording with touchscreen piano-roll editing, and a grid for recording and launching clips.
High-Res, Hands-On Control
FANTOM has plenty of knobs and sliders for intuitive and immediate control, with high resolution for buttery-smooth sweeps and fine adjustments. There’s a dedicated synthesizer section with oscillator, filter, and envelope controls, along with numerous buttons and pads for triggering and sequencing.
Go Ahead—Express Yourself
There are many ways to play expressively on keyboards. Some players like levers, some like wheels, some prefer pedals, while others prefer aftertouch. With FANTOM, you can use any or all of them. You can even connect USB controllers to FANTOM’s three USB ports for enhanced expression.
Computer Expert
FANTOM doesn’t just work with computers—it fully integrates. It’s a high-quality 16x3 stereo audio interface and can control DAWs and plug-ins from its touchscreen. It can incorporate soft synths into Scenes and send parts composed on FANTOM directly to your DAW.
Versatile Connectivity
FANTOM’s powers grow exponentially when connected to other gear like computers or analog synthesizers. You can control software synthesizers directly from the touchscreen, drive modular and analog synthesizers from its dual CV/Gate outputs, and more.
