Fantom-G8 - Reviews - Music Tech Magazine

When Roland’s flagship workstations get a makeover, expectations are inevitably high. Hollin Jones finds out if the Fantom-G still does the business.

Price: £2,599.00
Manufacturer: Roland
Website: http://www.roland.co.uk

Roland’s Fantom series of workstations have a reputation as being among the best in the game, so it was with much anticipation that we received the latest model – the G8. Resplendent in silver brushed metal, The Fantom-G series is the successor to the highly regarded Fantom-X.

Score: 10
