Hi Mark here from Roland with the
FANTOM. In addition to the powerful Zen
-Core and V-Piano engines FANTOM now has
a selection of SuperNATURAL strings,
brass, bass, vocal and world sounds and now
with the latest update, SuperNATURAL
piano and electric piano engines. So what
exactly is SuperNATURAL?
It's modelling technology and unlike
sampling, creates smooth transitions
between different notes and different
velocities so there isn't any noticeable
change in sound and no looping as there
can be in sampling. The string sounds are
amazing with SuperNATURAL because you
have all of these possibilities with
different articulations and different
variations of your sounds.
[Music]
You can use your pitch bender to
increase the volume but it also
increases the tone and the swell just
like the violin's orchestra is actually
bowing and you can use the s1 s2 and s3
buttons to give you different
articulations. And with some of the
instruments, there are things that you
just can't do with a sample library. For
example I'll play a legato sound, select
s3, and we get tremolo. Release it and it
goes back to the legato sound.
[Music]
Instruments like the solo violin
play monophonically unless I play with
a chord.
That's awesome. Again with variations
[Music]
You can see your variations on screen as
well too just with tone edit. And you have
your staccato pizzicato tremolo and you
can also increase your noise level which
is great for more resin and bow effect
and also things like the trumpet where
you have the fall. The bass for example
also gives you things like slap,
harmonics and if you do grace notes it
also gives you the articulation of the
bass player sliding his finger up the
neck of the bass. Also some of the
SuperNATURAL sounds have the ability to
choose different keys when you're using
the pitch bender to do roll offs. So
they can be minor. Or major. And for
example, if I choose a harp you can go
into glissando mode and choose different
scales and then just play glissandos and
it will choose the specific notes whether
they be diminished majors, minors - but all the
notes will repeat just as if you're
playing a real harp. The brand-new
SuperNATURAL acoustic and electric piano
sounds are full of character with no
velocity switching and sounds amazing
the new electric pianos of course have
things like key off sounds just to give
it that extra organic realistic feel. The
new SuperNATURAL acoustic and electric
pianos features controls such as stereo
width
[Music]
And noise level
Roland's SuperNATURAL instruments are
without compromise in their likeness to
the performance of traditional
instruments. And you also get to explore
the endless creative possibilities
offered by the FANTOM's super-powerful
editing and sound shaping capability
Roland believes that this advanced
technology and know-how can take your
music further. We hope you enjoy these
lifelike new sounds and remember FANTOM
will continue to grow and evolve with
exciting new sounds and capabilities. And
we look forward to delivering those to
you.
