Roland FANTOM-06 Synthesizer Keyboard

Roland FANTOM-06 – The Compact Powerhouse for Modern Musicians

The Fantom-06 is compact but mighty, designed for players who need power and portability in one instrument. Its newly designed 61-note synth-action keyboard offers exceptional responsiveness and dynamic expression, while the durable yet lightweight moulded body makes it easy to carry from studio to stage. Despite its compact size, it features the same sound engines, intuitive panel layout, and comprehensive connectivity as its bigger siblings — so you never compromise on performance.

Under the hood, the Fantom-06 is powered by Roland’s ZEN-Core sound engine, providing an immense palette of tones — from classic analogue synths to realistic acoustic instruments. The SuperNATURAL acoustic modeling technology delivers expressive and authentic piano and electric piano sounds, while the Virtual ToneWheel Organ engine captures the soulful warmth of vintage organs. For further expansion, Fantom-06 supports downloadable EXSN, EXM, and EXZ sound packs from Roland Cloud, giving you endless sonic possibilities that evolve with your creativity.

For deep layering and complex setups, the Fantom-06 offers 16 zones per Scene, allowing you to layer or split multiple tones across the keyboard with ease. Each Scene can store all your tone, effects, and pattern settings, and you can chain multiple Scenes together for smooth transitions during live performances. With up to 128 Scenes across four banks and Scene Chain mode for linking up to 512 configurations, the possibilities for live and studio use are virtually limitless.

The Fantom-06 inspires creativity through its clip-based sequencer and TR-REC sequencer, reminiscent of Roland’s iconic drum machines. You can record patterns, edit in step or real time, and import or export MIDI files for cross-platform flexibility. Its powerful sampling engine includes Keyboard Multisample with up to 2 GB shared memory and PAD Sampler with 16 pads across four banks, providing up to 60 minutes of sampling time. This dual system lets you record, edit, and trigger samples effortlessly for performance or production.

Hands-on control is where the Fantom-06 truly shines. It features eight assignable knobs and sliders, a pitch/mod lever, assignable switches, and a 5.5-inch colour touchscreen for intuitive operation. The RGB backlit performance pads are perfect for triggering clips, samples, and rhythms, while the Motional Pad adds an expressive dimension for real-time control. This tactile layout ensures every creative action feels immediate and natural.

Connectivity is a strong suit for the Fantom-06. It includes main and sub outputs, a mic input, line inputs, MIDI I/O, control and pedal jacks, and a built-in USB audio/MIDI interface that allows recording up to 16 stereo channels directly to your DAW at 24-bit/96 kHz. Native integration with Logic Pro, MainStage, and Ableton Live means seamless workflow between hardware and software, while USB memory support lets you back up and load your custom sounds with ease.

The onboard effects system is equally powerful, offering 16 multi-effect systems with 90 types, dual insertion effects, part EQs, drum compression, chorus, reverb, input EQ, master compressor, and total effects. A flexible vocoder with multiple band configurations lets you craft expressive vocal textures. The generous DSP power ensures smooth, high-quality processing, even with complex effects chains and layered performances.

If you’re looking for a versatile, professional-grade workstation that combines flagship sound quality, deep integration, and performance flexibility in a lightweight body, the Roland Fantom-06 is your perfect creative partner. From stage to studio, it’s more than a keyboard — it’s your all-in-one production powerhouse designed to keep up with your musical imagination.
