Roland X6 Overview

The Roland Fantom-X6 is a 61-key sampling synthesizer workstation, featuring 8 stereo linear tracks of audio recording capability, and a flagship stereo-sampled piano sound with it's own button, with individual samples of the full 88 keys, just like an acoustic piano.

The Fantom-X6 is equipped with a large, backlit, color LCD display(!), 128-voice polyphonic capability, Skip Back Sampling and sample import, a high-resolution built-in sequencer, realtime audio time-stretching, COSM sound modeling effects and mastering processing.

Roland has supplied the Fantom-X6 with a USB port for cross-platform file transfer to a computer, and full WAV and AIFF file compatibility is part of the package, as well. A set of realtime controller knobs and 16 velocity-sensitive trigger pads, along with the proprietary D-Beam infra-red sound controller, complement the velocity-sensitive, weighted synth-action of the unit's physical keyboard.

The Fantom-X6 is equipped with an arsenal of creative and performance tools for the stage or studio, and is available for a very reasonable price.
