Product Description

The Roland Fantom XR delivers the power of the new Fantom-X series keyboards in a convenient 1U rack. With room for over 1GB of sounds - 128MB internal wave ROM and room for six SRX expansions, this affordable module sets a new standard for expandability. Full-blown user sampling is also supported, along with .WAV/AIFF compatibility for loading samples via USB. The XR comes with 16MB memory expandable to 528MB with optional DIMMs.

The XR has 3 MFX processors (including modeling), plus separate reverb, chorus and mastering effects. Save all your work through USB or with up to 1 GB of PC card storage. The USB port functions as a MIDI interface. Just MIDI it up to your sequencer of choice, and let the Fantom-XR automatically sync up all your audio loops to tempo using a high-quality realtime time stretching algorithm. You can even record linear audio phrases and play them back from RAM like a digital recorder. With the bundled editing software (and the USB interface), you have everything you need to turn any computer into a full blown AUDIO/MIDI studio with just any old MIDI controller.

Back panel: MIDI in/out/thru, 2 stereo (4 mono) analog outputs, stereo analog input, plus S/PDIF digital I/O.
