The Fantom-X competes with the Korg Triton/Triton Extreme, the Yamaha Motif and other similar large-scope keyboards such as the discontinued Alesis Fusion.
The Roland Fantom-X features a 128-voice PCM-based synthesizer, a 16-track MRC-Pro sequencer, 6 effects processors, dynamic pads and infrared D-Beam, a stereo sampler and full on-screen editing.
After the Fantom-X, Roland produced its successor, the Fantom-G, which included twice the waveform memory, more patches, 128 voice polyphony,[4] advanced and easy to use sequencer.
Fantom-G accepts new ARX wave expansion cards, has larger full-color screen,[5] 16 insert effects per patch and other improvements.
In 2019, Roland released the Fantom 6/7/8 series workstation which includes multiple synth engines, following the footsteps of Korg Kronos and Yamaha Montage.
