Independent shopping perspective

The Korena take

Designed around an 88-key PHA-4 Standard keyboard, FANTOM-08 brings sound creation, sequencing and computer-connected production into one instrument. Its touchscreen, knobs, sliders and RGB pads keep key controls close, while Scenes can call up sounds, patterns, layouts, templates, settings or song sections as one prepared setup. ZEN-Core and SuperNATURAL provide electronic and acoustic sounds, and the 4x32 USB audio interface with Logic Pro, MainStage and Ableton Live integration supports a DAW-based rig.
