BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE VIDEO; IT'S FUN! ๐(Please keep in mind that the video is just a generic one from YouTube, and is not made by me, or this particular keyboard. ๐) Since 2001, Roland's FANTOM workstations have been on the cutting edge of keyboard technology.

READ ALL ABOUT THIS DEVICE BELOW! (under "some specs from the web")THIS WOULD MAKE AN AMAZING GIFT FOR ALL OCCASIONS, INCLUDING CHRISTMAS, BIRTHDAY, ANNIVERSARY... ๐ Please feel free to ask me any questions; I will try my best to find the answers for you.Also, let me know if you need any more pictures.Thank you, KevinP.s. I PACK SAFE and SHIP FAST! A VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5yMlMzSSsA&t=662s WHY BUY FROM ME? When you're buying a vintage (or just a used) car, does the condition matter? Of course it does! ๐ Are two used cars that are the same make and model the same? Would all similar (year, make and model) cars sell at the same price? No; there are many factors that would decide what price they fetch. Mileage, body, functionality, extra options, service history, past use... and one of the most important ones is CONDITION, which is everything! That is the reason a factory certified used Mercedes, fetches at least $4000 more, than the one you'd buy from a private seller you find on Craigslist.๐That's why when it comes to buying a used car, price is not everything... And buying a secondhand synthesizer, is no different than purchasing a vintage or used car. Yes, I'm proud of my children for sure. Mainly because when it comes to used keyboards and synths (just like used cars), condition is EVERYTHING! I have searched hard, hand-picked and collected only the best of the best that are in pristine condition (majority of them); and then had them professionally inspected, serviced/repaired (if needed), reprogrammed/restored (if needed), detailed... There's definitely value in that. On average, I spend about four hours on every single keyboard, before offering it for sale, and if they're not serviced, or if they don't pass the inspection, I don't sell them! I believe in selling ONLY quality items, to ensure that my clients are very happy with their purchase, which produces repeats, referrals and customers for life! ๐Not to mention the professional musicians, that rely on their instrument's health, and it's their livelihood, for whom I have the biggest respect, and want them to have a reliable machine. With all other used gear from other sources, including the major retailers, you'd have to keep your fingers crossed until it arrives... And most often, they are not what they were described to be, and often enough turn into headaches or heartaches...but you can rest assured that, if you buy from me, you will get a fully functional gear, and (specially for the online buyers) you'll get to see tons of details and pictures, before making up your mind! ๐ No retailer would service them prior to the sale, as it costs an additional $300-$400! Not to mention finding a Synth Tech is extremely difficult and costly these days! And that is what I do, as a labor of love! I do this because I really enjoy ANYTHING and EVERYTHING about synthesizers! Buying, selling, fixing, collecting, playing...I just love them! ๐ And finally, CUSTOMER SERVICE, which is also one of the major factors in retail/buying. I try my very best to provide everyone with the best service and experience; a fun one!๐I do this in a timely manner, even/specially after the sale, which is when most sellers disappear, or just don't care/reply...You can check my reviews, and hear what people say about me. ๐And if you are a local, and come in for a face to face visit; I usually set aside an hour for each client, so they would have enough time to browse all the different options (I select a few based on their requirements/needs prior to their arrival); try them out in person, instead of a porch pick up, and app payment! ๐And since I am unbiased about my inventory, I offer a free consultation (which is a very valuable service), to help make sure they get what's best for them, instead of spending too much on the wrong gear. And since I've been around Synthesizers for over three decades, have serviced/repaired hundreds, and have hundreds available (which is one of the largest selections of used synthesizers found in one place!), I may know a thing or two about them...๐. And that alone is worth something, especially if you're new to the keyboard world, and don't know much about them/know where to start...If you've made it this far on this very long scroll ๐, you have my biggest thank you!๐Please let me know how I can assist you create art that gives you wings, and takes you into a different world; that is crafting music... A LITTLE ABOUT ME: I am a 46-year-old, with a degree in electronic engineering, who LOVES Synthesizers, Music, and Electronics in general. Even though I do not work in the electronic field; I have always loved it, never separated; and as a hobby, I collect and fix them (if broken); and sometimes sell them to make room for others... SOME SPECS FROM THE WEB:(The following information is from the web, and not my words, so I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the statements, but believe them to be accurate, to the best of my limited knowledge on this instrument) CreationAt 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, 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. Everything. Always.You shouldn't have to wonder how many effects are available, or if you can change sounds seamlessly without limiting complex patches. With Fantom, you can focus on playing music, not rationing processing power. And with so much power under the hood, you can run all 16 parts with all available effects--simultaneously--with full patch-remain for seamless transitions. It's like having the power of two complete Fantoms in one. SoundFantom's flexible and expandable sound engine leverages decades of research and development, dishing out inspiring and authentic electronic, acoustic, and hybrid sounds by the bucketload. Combine different synthesis and sampling technologies along with the onboard analog filter for new and unusual sounds--and take advantage of new sound expansions and capabilities as they arrive. One engine. Infinite possibilities.Drawing from over four decades of genre-defining sounds, Fantom's expandable sound engine nails the classic synths but pushes into new sonic territory as well. The custom Behavior Modeling Chips power Fantom's core, with smooth and precise control, loads of polyphony, and full patch-remain. And Fantom is part of an expandable platform, with new sounds and new possibilities coming. Authentic, evocative sounds.Fantom runs multiple synthesis technologies simultaneously for authentic acoustic and electronic sounds, both modern and classic. You can also sample your own sounds and trigger up to 2 GB worth of loops and one-shots from the pad matrix. There's a fully routable analog filter for extra warmth and grit, and you can even mix soft synths with Fantom's internal sounds. The piano is key.Considered by many as the king of instruments, piano sits at the heart of the creative process for composers across a range of musical genres. Fantom uses the V-Piano technology for pianos that don't just sound real, they feel real. Craft pianos that play and respond like their acoustic counterparts and match your personal taste. Sonic superpowersFantom's synth engine is based on partials. Each partial starts with a discrete synth voice-complete with oscillator, filter, amplifier, dual LFO, and effects. You can have up to four partials in a single tone, and a Scene can contain up to 16 tones for complex layers, splits, and sequenced parts. LFOMGLow-frequency oscillators add movement to static sounds. More LFOs mean more modulation possibilities and more ways to explore new ground. Fantom has two LFOs per partial, four partials per tone--and since you can stack 16 tones, that's a staggering 128 LFOs per voice. And Fantom's Step-LFOs have 16 steps of beat-synced automation with 37 curve choices per step. This creates long evolving passages, modular-style animated textures, and sounds with deeply intricate movement. PlayabilityAfter sound quality, what's more important than playability? The way an instrument feels under your fingers, and how it helps you express yourself, is vital. Fantom focuses on the experience of playing, from its immersive keyboard action to its arsenal of performance controls. Players paradise.Fantoms have the best keyboards ever, including the acclaimed PHA-50 on the 88-note model and a brand new semi-weighted action on the 61- and 76-note models. Each feels solid, precise, and supremely playable, with the expressive capabilities of aftertouch. Roland makes their own keyboards to exacting standards, each model an evolution of the previous generation. 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 of them--or all of them. You can even connect USB controllers to any of Fantom's three USB ports for enhanced expression. SequencingFantom is a complete musical composition platform that excels at fast creation and fluid arrangement. You have RGB pads, a classic TR-REC style pattern sequencer, real-time recording with piano-roll editing, and a grid for recording and launching clips. Use any or all, whenever you want. From spark to fire.Different musical genres need diverse production styles and specialized tools. You can create patterns on Fantom in a variety of ways including real and step-time polyphonic sequencing, or the TR-REC pattern sequencer--perfect for rhythmic parts--as used on the iconic drum machines. Clip-based sequencing.A great way to build up a track is by arranging clips that contain musical patterns. Drums, basslines, pads, and other patterns can be recorded into clips that you can trigger individually, or in groups. It's a lightning-fast way to compose and ideal for triggering backing tracks during live performance. TR-REC step-sequencer.The foundation of dance music is the step-sequencer, specifically the 16-step TR-REC variety found on the drum machines like the TR-808, TR-909 and modern TR-8S. Fantom's onboard TR-REC sequencer is fully modernized with sub-steps for ratcheted parts, motion control for per-step automation, and support for chords. ConnectivityWhile Fantom is powerful by itself, its powers grow exponentially when connected to other gear like computers or analog synthesizers. Fantom can control software synthesizers directly from the touchscreen, drive modular and analog synthesizers from its dual CV/Gate outputs, and is also a high-quality audio interface capable of 16 stereo outputs and 3 stereo inputs. 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 integrate soft synths into Scenes, and send parts composed on Fantom directly to your DAW. Deep soft synth integration.Customize your sound by integrating your plug-in soft synths with Fantom. Control Apple Logic Pro, GarageBand, and MainStage, and adjust soft synth parameters right from Fantom's touchscreen. Mix and layer soft synths with Fantom's internal sounds, and then route them through Fantom's analog filter section. Dual CV/Gate.While Fantom provides enormous creative potential, you may also want to integrate analog synths or drum machines with your setup. Fantom has two sets of CV/Gate outputs, so you can sync tempo or play them from Fantom's keyboard or its many pattern sequencers. DesignA clean and intuitive layout, premium materials, and the best-ever keyboard action. The result? An instrument that begs to be played. Everything in its place.Fantom is designed to propel the creative process and play beautifully. The placement of each control, and how it interacts with the creative heart inside Fantom, has been thoroughly considered with today's workflow in mind. Built to last.Fantom is made of tough metal with high-grade components throughout. Everything about it is sturdy and built to withstand the perils of live gigs and life on the road. It's the little things.The more you get to know Fantom, the more you appreciate the thoughtful details that simplify your life as a keyboardist. From the slight curvature of the top-panel labels for rear connections, to the informative RGB-lit controls and buttons, Fantom facilitates creativity and eliminates frustration.
