With its Behavior Modelling processors, this workstation offers precise, flexible controls, wide polyphony and multiple patches. Above all, the Fantom is a scalable platform, ready to accommodate future sounds and features. After packing all kinds of technology and sound quality, what could be more important than the feeling of an instrument that responds to your fingers and lets you express yourself fully? The Fantom features Roland's finest keyboards, including the famous PHA-50 for the 88-key version, and an all-new semi-weighted keyboard for the 61- and 76-key versions. The Fantom workstation excels in its speed of creation and arrangement.

The TR-REC sequencer has been upgraded on the Fantom and features step subdivisions, step automation and chord management.The Fantom doesn't stop there, it can control software synthesizers directly from its touch screen, modular synths or analog synths via its dual CV/Gate output. It is a real high quality audio interface with 16 stereo outputs and 3 stereo inputs. A real platform capable of increasing its power when connected to another device!

The Roland FANTOM is a powerful and impressive synthesizer workstation with sequencer, sampler, audio interface and extensive synthesizer functions. In the generously sized and expandable sound memory, Roland has literally immortalized a best-of 40 years of synthesizer history and integrated its high-quality V-Piano for all keyboard virtuosos. In addition to multiple synthesis technologies that can be used simultaneously, you can keep in mind that the FANTOM's analog multi-mode filter can be the icing on the cake for some sounds. The sequencer offers real-time sequencing, TR/step sequencing and a clip sequencer. OneShots and loops can be playfully triggered via the sampler pads and integrated into your own creations.Another highlight of the FANTOM are the scene memorieswhich are organized in four banks with 128 memory locations each. They act as fast creative memories and hold everything you work on. Whether it's a handful of patterns, a song you've started, a sound you're creating, various settings related to your current project in the audio workstation, or all of the above, handwritten notes and "it has to stay on because I can't save it" are a thing of the past.Anyone who has worked with Roland instruments will quickly notice that the operation has been redesigned and leads to faster results, not only because of the neat interface but also because of the Fantom's very intuitive menu navigation.Sounds and synthesisRoland has gone all out with the FANTOM, equipping its flagship product with over 3500 sounds and over 90 drum kits, as well as the very avant-garde V-Piano. Strings, organ, piano, guitar, brass, choir, wind instruments and more: the FANTOM's selection is simply outstanding!The typical Roland sound architecture has been retained in that each sound can be composed of four parts. However, the FANTOM's Parts correspond to a complete and extended synthesizer voice with its own oscillator and filter models, envelopes, modulation assignments and, of course, its own volume and panning controls. There is also a dual LFO for each of the four parts, which not only has the usual waveforms, with and without BPM sync, but you can also create your own waveforms by hand. We calculate: 16 tracks with up to 8 LFOs per sound; 128 LFOs simultaneously! If you like to create new sounds from scratch, this is the source of all modulation ideas.The new and extended architecture allows you to create sounds according to the modular principle: take for example the SuperSaw oscillator (known from the JP-8000) and combine it with the Juno filter; what was previously reserved for modularists, you get here in a storable way! Different synthesis technologies can be defined for each sound and each part, so there's nothing to stop a layered sound of roaring organ, delay-wrapped bells and crisp bass.EffectsA set of 90 multi-effects are just waiting to modify and refine the sounds created, individually or in parallel, respectively in series, per part. The selection of delay, reverb, chorus, flanger, distortion, real one-offs with a wow character, should leave nothing to be desired. Moreover, the Fantom has enough power to calculate elaborate effect chains for each of the 16 tracks without running out of steam. In addition, each part has its own EQ. The master compressor is located above the main output. A special position is given to the analog filter, which offers four different filter types (LPF, BPF, HPF & PKG), including the drive. The filter can be assigned to individual tracks, the main output, a DAW return or the analog inputs. Thus, it is not only an extended part of the sound generation, but also an independent effect to give sounds the final touch in the right place.Sequencer and samplerThe Fantom's sequencer has been completely reworked and now offers parallel recording and composing concepts that perfectly support the "typical" recording methods. Instead of recording all tracks in one pattern "as before", the Fantom offers the possibility to freely combine the 16 tracks and use them independently. The songs can be arranged in the classic linear way or in the clip sequencer (comparable to Ableton Live). The TR/step sequencer, which is also capable of substepping and ratcheting, is ideal for rhythm programming. The perfectly played piano or the funky organ can be recorded in real time, either with or without note quantization. The same applies to the 16 pads, which play individual sounds from the internal sound generator or from their own samples. This pad mode is familiar from the Akai MPC series. Behind the pads is also the sampler; with 8-fold polyphony, four banks of 16 pads each can be assigned. Sounds and loops can be up to 2 GB in size, time stretching is of course also offered for loops. A comprehensive Arpeggiator and a chord memory function are also part of the Fantom's sophisticated playback aids.Full integration in a DAWThe FANTOM can be fully integrated into the workflow of a DAW (e.g. Apple Logic Pro, GarageBand, MainStage). Thanks to the USB audio interface, 16 stereo tracks can be recorded, edited and, most importantly, processed in parallel in the computer. Three stereo tracks can be addressed from the DAW to the FANTOM, either to edit a track with the analog filter or as an audio output from the DAW to the main mixer. Plug-ins loaded in the DAW can be easily used and edited from the FANTOM, including song position pointers and the entire DAW transport field. DAW and plug-in commands are also stored in the scenes and can be recalled in seconds, provided the computer is connected and the DAW is open. Otherwise, this data is not taken into account when loading.Thanks to several USB ports, it is of course possible to connect other devices in addition to a computer and an external storage medium such as a USB stick. For example, you can connect a second keyboard for two-handed play, a Breath controller or a fader box.System update 2.1The highlights of the new OS 2.1 are the four expansion slots, which can be equipped with expansions of popular and historical Roland synthesizer models. The four timeless classics Jupiter-8, Juno-106, SH-101, and JX-8P mark the beginning of an ever-evolving series. Best of all, the update, which includes a number of bug fixes and improvements, is available for free to all Fantom 6/7/8 owners, as well as the four cult synths!The instruments themselves can be combined in the usual way with the state-of-the-art Zen Core synthesis, V-Piano sounds or for example your own multi-samples. Moreover, each of the four synthesizers is presented with its own interface and of course with the controls of the corresponding originals. Thanks to the Zenology platform, you have access to this huge variety of sounds everywhere.

SOUND SYNTHESIZERSAWM2Reserved for Yamaha synthesizers, the AWM2 engine offers much more than just sample playback. Each of the 16 AWM2 Parts includes eight fully programmable synthesizers with their own dedicated filter (18 different types!), amplitude, pitch and filter envelope generators, nine LFOs, a 3-band EQ and a block of two dedicated effects with Virtual Circuitry Modeling technology.FMXFM-X is a highly sophisticated synthesis engine capable of producing classic 80's sounds or the most cutting-edge FM sounds for today's EDM music with incredible dynamics, power and definition. MODX features an 8-operator FM architecture and 64-note polyphony, offering a wide range of options for sound creation.SEAMLESS SOUND CHAININGSeamless Sound Switching (SSS) technology allows you to seamlessly switch between performances without any envelope or effect cuts*. It's perfect on stage for ending one track and moving straight into the next.192-NOTE POLYPHONYMODX features 128-note stereo polyphony for the AWM2 engine and 64-note polyphony for the FM-X engine. Due to the unique architecture of MODX and MONTAGE, this polyphony is always available without latency or impact on other features.POWERFUL EFFECTSFrom high-definition reverb algorithms to effects modeled down to the smallest component (VCM effects), MODX is loaded with innovation and DSP power, with sound quality that's off the charts. Use effects such as Beat Repeat, Vinyl Break or Bit Crusher to achieve an EDM sound. The Spiralizer effect creates the auditory illusion of an infinitely rising or falling pitch.You can even add a compressor with sidechain for a modern ducking effect. Or revisit the past with vintage effects such as Analog Delay, VCM Phaser or a variety of amp simulators. Pianists will appreciate piano-focused effects like Damper Resonance for a realistic piano experience, as well as HD reverbs that allow you to place yourself in any physical space.SIDECHAINAutomatically controlling the dynamic behavior of one Part in relation to another, "Sidechain" is very popular in modern dance music where a pad or other pad is slaved to the bass drum. When the bass drum is played, it reduces the level of the Part by creating a rhythmic "pump" effect.BUILT-IN FLASH MEMORYMODX includes 1GB of non-volatile user flash memory with high-speed read/write for loading your own samples or sound banks downloaded, for example, from yamahamusicsoft.com.ANALOG INPUTS AND AUDIO INTERFACEWith its two analog and digital inputs, MODX becomes the center of your recording studio or on-stage computer device.As today's computer-based music production demands, MODX features a professional 4-in/10-out multi-channel USB audio interface. A single cable connection replaces the need for an external audio interface. Class Compliant, it is iOS compatible.TOTAL CONTROLAn artist needs their own signature sound. Take control and stand out. Bring the sophistication of music production automation to your live performance with Motion Control.The Super Knob allows you to control up to 128 parameters simultaneously in a single performance. That means you can control virtually everything from the mix with levels, pans and effects sends to the smallest of synthesis parameters such as filters, LFOs and operators.That's 128 parameters... SIMULTANEOUSLY!The Super Knob can even be assigned to an FC7 expression pedal, making it easy to manipulate the sound and bring incredible expressiveness, while keeping both hands available for keyboard playing.MOTION SEQUENCESMotion Sequences are fully customizable, tempo-synchronized sequences of control data that can be assigned to virtually any synthesizer parameter, providing unique ways to create evolving and expressive sounds.These Motion Sequences also have dedicated controls on the front panel, making them easy to manipulate and edit live, allowing for exceptional interactivity and expression.ENVELOPE FOLLOWERThe envelope follower converts audio into a control source that can affect virtually any synthesizer parameter. For example, a drum loop can drive effect parameters for a pleasing rhythmic feel, or a vocal recording can control multiple parameters for a "talking" synthesizer. The audio can even be a live source plugged into the analog input.AUDIO BEAT SYNCABS (Audio Beat Sync) detects the beats of an external device connected to the analog input such as an electronic drum kit, vintage drum machine or audio player, and synchronizes the MODX Arpeggiator, Motion Sequencer and Songs to the tempo of the external input. The MODX synthesizer "listens" to the live music and matches it!CUBASE AI BUNDLEThe Yamaha MODX comes bundled with Cubase AI, Steinberg's professional music production software for recording, editing and processing on Windows and Mac PCs.

The MPC 3000 is a new and improved version of the classic MPC 60. It is a sequencer-sampler powerhouse that functions as the heart of any studio that produces HipHop, Rap, R&B and even Techno. It is usually used as the main percussion groove instrument.It is an excellent sampler: 16-bit 44.1 kHz stereo sampling with 2 to 32 MB of memory and full editing capability. In fact, its sampling specifications are equivalent to most rack samplers.It's also a good synthesizer: sixteen dynamic pads with velocity and aftertouch, large drum sets, analog-style filter sweep with resonance, analog envelope control, and 32 notes of polyphony. Except for the drum sounds, it doesn't have a built-in oscillator or synthesizer. But your samples can be shaped and colored by the analog style editing functions to create lo-fi sounds, filtered pads and drum loops, and other weirdly modulated effects.It is an excellent sequencer: 20 songs, 99 sequences, 99 tracks and up to 75,000 notes. It has full MIDI implementation, sophisticated sequence editing and SCSI+ disk storage. The MPC can be the master or just another sampler in your existing MIDI studio. Professional MIDI, Sync and Time Code features are also integrated.

The Evolver, Dave Smith Instruments' first product, is a monophonic hybrid synth that marks Dave Smith's return to the world of hardware synthesizers. Featuring two analog DCOs and two wavetable oscillators, the Evolver also harnesses the power of the analog Curtis filter and its complex modulation matrix of 24 sources and over 75 destinations. The Evolver also features three synchronizable delays, a 4-track 16-step sequencer, 512 editable patches, poly in/out/transfer/chain, and stereo inputs and outputs.The Evolver Mono Keyboard from Dave Smith Instruments adds a 3-octave keyboard and pitch and modulation wheels to the Evolver Hybrid Mono module. The Evolver Mono Keyboard allows for easier performance thanks to the velocity and aftertouch sensitive keyboard, as well as more knobs that expose parameters previously only accessible via the Evolver's menus.The Evolver marked Dave's Smith's triumphant return to hardware synths and is still the gold standard for sonic ferocity in a monosynth. It contains a plethora of Dave's best ideas in a monstrously powerful instrument with a unique sound.The Evolver's unique tone comes from the synergy of its two analog oscillators and two digital oscillators (which take the waves from the legendary Prophet VS). Curtis' classic analog low-pass filters and true analog VCAs add warmth and fullness to the analog section, while the digital high-pass filter, tuned feedback, and digital distortion add sizzle and grit. But what really sets the Evolver apart is the way the analog and digital parts of its personality fit together in a true stereo signal path. The word "massive" doesn't begin to describe the Evolver's sound.Imagine being able to move effortlessly from analog smoothness to digital sharpness, or anywhere in between, and you'll begin to understand. The LFOs, step sequencer, and three separate delays can all be synchronized to create complex, scalable, rhythmic, and time-based effects in true stereo.It's a sound designer's dream that can go from ultra-creamy to ultra-aggressive with the turn of a knob. If you need to be convinced, just listen to the demos.

The new Dark Energy II looks like the Dark Energy I at first sight. But the basic sound of the Dark Energy II is clearly different from the version I because of the new circuits for the VCO, the VCF and the VCA. In the following description of the Dark Energy II, the differences with the Dark Energy I are marked in blue:The Dark Energy II is a stand-alone monophonic synthesizer with USB and Midi interface. The sound generation and all the modulation sources are 100% analog, only the USB/Midi interface contains digital components. The Dark Energy is built in a robust black metal case with wooden side plates. High quality potentiometers with metal shafts are used and every potentiometer - except the filter mode control - is fixed to the case (no wobbly shafts and knobs). The distance between the controls is a bit larger compared to the A-100 modules and vintage looking knobs are used.

Rample waves systemEurorack 4-voice sample player & audio processorVersatile sample machine :From percussive drum-machine kits to synth samples, breakbeats to sound FX, backing tracks to hour-long audio music, Rample can play up to 4 .wav files on independent audio outputs :These samples are stored inside the provided SD card, and organized as kits, from A00 to Z99... allowing up to 2600 banks of 4 voices, with on-the-fly loading! The SD card is preloaded with tons of samples, and we made it very easy to import your own kits.Thanks to the DC coupled audio outputs, it's also possible to play CV waveforms. Effects rack :Each voice has its own “rack” of effects, and all audio effects can be enabled at the same time, allowing you to manipulate your samples in real time, from a gentle lowpass to massive destruction!pitch - a great sounding pitch engine, based on a 6-pole interpolator, which ranges from -1 octave to +1 octave.bits - two different bitcrushing algorithms, based on sample rate and resolution reduction. It produces distortion and warms the audio signal.filter - a low resonance filter, DJ-style, cutting off the high frequencies or the low frequencies.freeze - sample and loop a fraction of the played waveform, creating a glitching effect.levels - decrease the gain or drive the signal.It’s also possible to edit ‘advanced parameters’ like the start point, sample length, attack/decay and run mode, and create mute groups without breaking a sweat.Finally, thanks to the 4 CV inputs, any of the effects (or advanced parameters) can be assigned to create amazing modulations!Multi-layer sampling :One of the key feature is the ability to "multi-sample" your kits, multiplying Rample’s potential. Each voice supports up to 12 samples, can be played randomly or in a controlled fashion. It’s a great way to add complexity and variations, to create organic/acoustic sounding drums, or simply to increase the number of samples per kit (up to 48).As an example, we are providing a multi-layered drum kit, with 12 different recordings of a kick, 12 different recordings of a snare, etc. Sequencing them randomly leads to a more natural drum playing.We are also providing an other kind of multi-layered acoustic drum kit, where each drum is recorded with 12 levels of velocity. Controlling the layer to be played leads to intricate, convoluted drums programming.Of course, it’s very easy to create your own multi-layered kit, and you can use this method to perform multiple synth chords, sound glitches, voices, breakbeats...CV/Gate and Midi interface :Rample is designed to be the perfect rhythmic companion of your eurorack system thanks to its Gate (trig samples) and CV (modulate samples) connectivity.You can also use it as a standalone midi machine, without using the CV/Gate connectivity: the midi in port allows you to trig & control all samples parameters + effects values at the same time. Each Rample comes with a ‘stereo jack to midi DIN’ and ‘stereo jack to jack’ adapters, easing the chaining of multiple modules in order to create an 8-voice, 12-voice, 16-voice (or more) midi drum machine!

1995 famous sampler from Akaï, 3 ddifferent versions exist for Europe, USA-Canada or Australia.

For many people, Lexicon is the definitive brand name for digital reverberation units. With the EMT, Lexicon dominated the market in the 1980s, producing realistic reverberation simulations in a variety of formats ranging from simple rack-mount units like the PCM70 and Lexicon 200 to high-end units with LARC remotes, including the 224XL and 480L. Following their initial success, Lexicon developed its own digital reverb processor, the Lexichip, which allowed them to build cheaper and more compact effects processors. A new version of this processor, the Lexichip II, gave birth to the Lexicon PCM 80 and Reflex.   The Reflex is not only a reverb processor. It has a wide variety of programs and, unlike the Alex, a complete Midi specification allowing real-time control of parameters via Midi. Lexicons as old as the PCM70 offer Midi control, but the Reflex is the first to be offered in this price range. The Reflex is designed to be fast and easy to use with 16 presets and 128 user memories (Alex: 16 memories).  The front panel is very simple with a signal LED, Input / Mix / Output controls, (Mix varies the mix of effect and dry signal), a Store / Clear button, a Parameter / Learn button (to select the parameter to be edited or to enter APM - Advanced Programming Mode), a Value button (to edit this parameter), a digital display and a Register / Preset button to select a program. The Learn function allows you to patch the Midi signals to control a parameter. Enter APM mode by pressing and holding the Parameter / Learn button, select the parameter to be controlled, send a Midi message and the assignment is made. Each preset has up to 10 parameters that can be edited (Alex: 3), two from the front panel and the rest via the APM. The edited programs can be saved in one of the 128 user memories.

The MOTU Audio 24I/O interface fulfills the promise of host-based hard disk recording: recording, editing, mixing and mastering multitrack recording projects entirely inside the computer. It provides 24 high-quality, 24-bit/96kHz analog inputs and outputs in a single rack-space, cost-effective package, allowing you to connect and record from up to 24 simultaneous analog sources. The MOTU 24I/O can be purchased as an expansion for an existing PCI-424-based MOTU audio system, or as a base system that includes the PCI-424 card and Audiodesk workstation software. This is the complete base system, not just the expander interface.

One of the features of the M-480 is that it actually has only 24 slices. The trick is that one slice processes two inputs at a time. Each of these inputs has a mono jack on the rear panel (line level -30dB), a dual potentiometer for gain and pan settings, a saturation indicator (LED), and a mute switch. Based on the principle that the timbre works more and more inside the sound generator (who mentioned the FTV of the S-770/D-70/MV-30?), the M-480 has no EQ stage. Instead, the emphasis has been on processing possibilities. Here, the M-480 has six aux sends. The first four are "post-fader", and the other two are pre/post switchable for the entire console. While the sends are exclusively mono (+4 dB), the returns are either mono or stereo (with +4/-20 dB switching), depending on whether one or two jacks are connected (cutoff jack detection). Three double potentiometers take care of the send levels, and three others take care of the return levels. These effect sends, as well as the general volume potentiometer, are therefore common to both channels of the same slot. Each of the slices then goes to one and/or the other of the two stereo outputs: master and sub. These outputs are accompanied by a pan and a volume (two independent knobs for the master and a double knob for the sub). As for the monitor output, it is duplicated by a headphone jack on the front panel, while including a double volume knob (no panning). The signals sent to it come from the master bus or the sub bus. In addition, each slice has a cue switch, equivalent to a solo function (mono and pre-fader) on this monitor output. While activating the solo function (represented by a LED) does not affect the assignments of the slices to the master and sub busses, it does disconnect the link between the master and sub busses and the monitor circuit. To end the routing, a "mute" switch cuts the output of the master bus, but not its sending to the monitor. One of the unique features of Roland consoles is the ability to "cascade" (chain) multiple Roland models. The M-480 is no exception, with 12 +4dB input jacks (master L/R, sub L/R, monitor L/R, aux 1-6) reserved for this purpose.
