Fantom X new sound chip

The new Fantom X6 synthesizer is powered by the next generation synthesis. This means the option to access 1 Gb of waveforms when fully expanded and with new updated internal waveforms to hand it offers sound quality never heard before.

Sampling capabilities

The on-board sampler allows expansion of up to 544Mb sampling time - enough to record a song onto. It allows sampling of riffs which can then be tempo matched in realtime and assigned to the velocity pads. It offers full splitting, cut, time stretch and more with on-screen waveform editing.

Velocity Pads and Skip Back Sampling

The Fantom X6 workstation has velocity pads and Skip back sampling. The pads allow you to trigger samples, drum loops, arpegiated riffs and more with just one touch. There are 16 pads to instantly access. The Skip back sampling then constantly records 10 seconds of audio (variable). If you play a rif you thought sounded great and forgot what you played then this means you can press skip back sampling and listen to the last 10 seconds or more of audio you played!! Lever loose a riff agin.

Sequencing

The Fantom X6 allows up 400,000 note recording capacity. This MIDI information can be stored along with audio data to create a full blown masterpiece with tempo synchronisation. You may never need another piece of equipment!!
