It's a Fantom-08 (OH Eight), not a Fantom 8.
256 mb for expansions / multisamples ???? 2022 ??? Man .....

When it comes to music production and sampling, which one will you choose this Fantom or the new Kurzweil K2700?
KORG:" I think users don't need faders, knob, pads, buttons. Roland:" I'm with those users and we can prove you are wrong." >.
Would you like to develop a bit the Korg VS Roland (VS Yamaha eventually too) because this comment lacks a substantial amount of information IMO???
This board (the 06) is like a dream come true for me: affordable, soundshaping, really user friendly sequencer, and sooo many sounds. Tthe pad modes are AWESOME too!!! Everyuday i learn something new and i keep on being amazed! After owning a Fantom S for 20 years, this is THA BOMB!!
THanks for yor great vid.
I desperately needed an affordable replacement for my FA-06, this is it. Ordered and being delivered next week!
Just ordered the 08 bundle!
I have had a Korg workstation sampler 61 key for 20 years or so!
Love these sounds and 88 keys!!
This is "THE" board I have waiting for! Happy Anniversary Roland😁
This is a fantastic overview and Jacob Dupree is so personable and inspirational. This seems like the perfect keyboard for my needs: stand alone piano, daw in a box, plus excellent daw integration. I'm assuming it can control hardware directly as well, but I'll have to read up on that
Flawless expression of sounds, definitely deserves a like👏🏽👏🏽
I remember going to music school and I always had to bring floppy discs with me so my teacher could give me some new midi files. I had a Yamaha PSR 340. The tech has come such a long way from those days lol.
Two things that I was hoping for: Velocity Sensitive Pads, and the ability to load in a sample loop and sync it to the tempo of the sequencer. My old Fantom X has these features.
If I were looking for a workstation keyboard now, this would definitely be on the short list. It's light and has a lot of features usually only reserved for top-of-the-line, such as two sets of pitch bend/mod wheel, percussion pads and faders. I've always liked Roland stuff, but my Yamaha MOD-X is still serving me well in that department. Thanks.
Modx doesn't sample though.
@@mpmi7588 Good point. MOD-X is not considered a workstation keyboard, either, since the sequencing part is quite lacking. It's a budget version of the Montage.
@@lance134679 yes that sequencer really disappointed me
@@mpmi7588 If they put nice crossfades on the morphing feature though... I really hope they do. It'll be the best wavetable synth on the market.
@@lance134679 this is a budget version of the fantom, and some websites don't refer to this as a workstation, some do.
You'll see this labeled as a synthesizer and not a workstation sometimes
I like this stunning workstation ! l was disappointed of my Roland Fa 6 , I think Roland did the right thing when released this keyboard . Thank you so much .
Outstanding review!
Great overview...definitely top of my shopping list as I'm in the market for a new workstation.
Let’s go! The videos are 💧 I can’t wait as a dad on a budget eyeing the fantom but this makes it more attainable price wise, yes!
Great Sounds and Great Playing
Great video, keep it up!
awesome review thank you!
Great demo!
This fantom zero series is so ideal but right now i'm fighting with myself whether to get Fantom 08 2022 or Fantom 88 2019 , now that 2019 is the true Maserati by far !
The first thing that attracts me to a keyboard is also a good grand piano sound. Thumbs up to Roland for this one. The second is a good virtual organ which I find it odd that it was not covered in this video presentation.
I’m a long time Fantom user and that has been my one turn of about Roland was their organ selection!!!! That had everything right but organ!!! Can’t wait to upgrade to the flagship Fantom I us to have a G6
I just bought a PANTOM 06 today from Sweetwater!🤗
I am very interested in the Fantom-06! Awesome looking synthesizer!
Hey Rick, surprised you don't have one already :)
@@naturesrecovery4516 they don't ship until the end of May,
Perfect tutorial. Thank you! We live in great times where you can spend some money and have a gear that will give you infinite capabilities to create.
Awesome great music song. So sound great audio. 👍
His happiness did it for me. those smiles when something slightly unexpected happens :)
The upgraded FA i didn’t know I needed. My FA is awesome and all but this is just 🚀
The manuals don't look that different, not worth "upgrading" unless the Ableton integration, increased sampling time for the sample pads, and the touchscreen appeal that much to you. The FA's SuperNatural pianos are possibly better, but I won't be able to confirm until I can try one myself at Sam Ash in June or so.
Now if you fully delve into sound design, then the Zen-Core engine is definitely an upgrade. I've got an MC-707, so I'm good there already, plus it is the better sampler and sequencer, too.
great review as always. THx.. Any concerns about the polyphony? I've seen some other reviews and its concerning. I trust you cause you CAN PLAY!!!!!
I might go for one...
When I was seeing this vedio I was thinking about flstudio itself and sir you also said it….. I liked the way rolend have made this keyboard feature packed and future packed
I hope to get this
😱 I can’t believe Roland just did this to me. I thought the Korg PA was my dream keyboard. The kurzweil series are the keyboards that are closest to the hardware I want other than the Fantoms but I have just been unsure about them. My Juno DS88 is a great keyboard and I choose it over the Yamaha MX and the Korg Kross/Krome at the time of purchase but this looks like it might be what I was waiting for at the price.
Korg PAs are a fairly different beast. Nothing in fantom 0 seems to have the arranger capabilities of a PA. I had a pa600, as well as fa06 and now Juno ds. I much prefer the roland keybed but the arrangement capabilities of PA were super fun - and highly impressive when used by an experienced pro (which I am not 😎).
So it depends what you are looking for. If you want to noodle around or entertain others, PA is awesome. If you want to create your own stuff from scratch but not on a pc fantom 0 is likely better.
P.s. While all my big stuff is currently roland, I kinda disagree that all those wavestates and opsixes and volcas and so on were "not of note" to industry and consumers alike. If anything, roland seems to be re re releasing stuff that "faithfully captures that Juno / jupiter sound" ad nauseum, which to somebody who frankly doesn't care is annoying as I genuinely prefer their layout and keybed. Real innovation seems to be outside any of the 3 big houses - hydrasynth, cobalt and argon, etc 🤷♂️
@@NikolaNovak Nice! I like that the PA can do a lot of the work for you in creating songs when you don’t know how to properly play certain instruments. I’m working on some original music now and would have loved to have a PA but going to just go ahead and work learning how to add the instruments I don’t know .
Every brand has something to offer. If they all got rid of all their old sounds people would complain because they are missing. 😃 I’m glad for the number of sounds I get from different generations. I was having a conversation with someone last night how old music will never die also. We will still need those “old sounds” if we want to recreate the old music. Innovation is how they are able to capture the sounds of old instruments in a digital form.
I know with pianos how they say digitals don’t feel like the real thing. Years later when we are on to something else they will say these new instruments don’t feel like the ones from 2022. 😃
Yes Roland did it to you.
I own a Roland D-50 and D-70 🎹

@@ErraticFaith korg minilogue
Simple to the point analogue synth
Great korg product
I. Can. Not. WAIT FOR MINE TO GET HERE🎉🎉🎉🎉
Lite version of the fantom yes please
This keyboard has two main SuperNatural pianos with several variations on each. I am testing it side by side with VST's like Ivory II, CFX and Vienna, and the supernatural pianos hold up quite well. With unlimited memory, cpu and storage, the VST's can sound more realistic, but I still love the SuperNatural pianos, they are quite expressive, realistic, ton's of dynamic range and they cut through the mix great.
Im new to synths and am yet to lean how to play :-) however was thinking of getting the Roland Fantom-8 (not the 08) or the Yamaha montage m8x - any recommendations or go with VST?
I like workstations. i did not need to see this. This is actually in my acceptable price range for noise toys. IMO, there is a "serious musician" price cutoff on the more expensive boards. I am a small-time player and there is no way in hades i can justify $4k-ish for anything. $2k would be for something super-amazing.
I love how as soon as you get to the ocarina, you play Zelda, no hesitation 😂
I dream about this keyboard!
Is there a video that shows how to work the sequencer specifically?
"Ocarina!" **plays Zelda referencing Ocarina of Time**
DUDE THIS MAN HE UNDERSTOOD THE ASSIGNMENT
Saria's song
Dupree is almost unhinged here. I kinda love it. He looks like they were keeping him in a basement for a few days before this shoot. And that "outro jam" just proves me right. I think Sweetwater should just keep making him review this board... let's say a 10-episode season focusing only on Fantom-08, and we see how far out Dupree can really go.
If I didn't already own a A88 Mk II I would have ordered this in a heartbeat.
Can you sample ( eg a voice ) whilst listening to the sequence playing ?
Wow. Loving it.
This is dope 👍 imma own one ,one day..🤑
Nice one thank you
I love roland keyboards.🎹🎹🎹🎹🎧
Excellent 👌
Cool. Thank you.

Hi! How is the keybed quality? And what can you tell me about f o6 - o7 Keys?
Hello friend, could you explain to me how to start a sequence from a certain measure or bit to edit what has already been recorded in that sequence??? generally after recording we have to fix some things but the sequence always starts from 0 ZERO in advance thank you very much Blessings brother
Nice 👍 thanks 🙏
Just like the modx, can i layer sounds, like piano+ pad+ string?
10:58 - that is the magic! Can you do the same with Kurzweil PC4?
Does it have seamless sound transition? Or it cuts off ??
We still lacking regular sequencer feature found in Fantom X & G
Has anyone compared the display on the Fantom and Fantom-0? Albeit being smaller in size, the display on the Fantom-0 is higher in resolution (1280*720) than that on the the Fantom (800*480). Does that mean the Fantom-0 can display more things on the screen? Or the UI the same but with a higher DPI and a finer look?
That piano sound alone is worth the price, imho. Looks like it would be great both in the studio as well as onstage.
I saw the TR rec function be used on the Fantom, I was worried it wasn't on the Fantom-0, it is, the buttons just look different.
Is this the Roland 50th Anniversary instrument release? Or there will be something else on April 18?
Hi! Can this unit load SVD. files? It’s kind of a dealbreaker where I’m from 🇿🇦
quick question... when any slider or even the filter is moved the value jumps to the current slider or knob position.. can it be set to where the value changes until the slider or knob gets to that value.. example.. if value is at 64 and slider is at 10 as I slide up value will only change when slider reaches 64...
Hi, Jose! Thanks for the interest. I double-checked Roland's user manual for the Fantom-0 series, and I couldn't find a way to change the behavior of the sliders in the way you describe. I will forward your question to my contacts at Roland just in case there is something I missed. I'll circle back here once I get a reply from them! Feel free to contact me directly with any further questions in the meantime. Thanks again!

Will you have chance to review MEDELI AKX10?
Looks like I might not be picking up that Juno-DS88 after all...
have the juno ds 61 and the quality of the knobs and keys is excellent. I play a lot and the keys are like new. The slides and buttons do not make noise. I ask, what do you think about the build quality of the fantom o 61? Should I upgrade?

Between these tiers it's more about what you use it for. Juno may be considered by some to be 'entry' over the Roland-0's mid tier; but anyone asking your question should really simplify it to --- 'do I want Zencore in a midtier workstation'.
That answers a number of usage questions by association.
Be it 'I'm going to want the full features - so I'll save for the flagship'
or even 'I don't need that much synthesis in a board that can't fully utilize it' (Polyphony wall).
Much like your Juno - the board can work brilliantly as an accompaniment (smaller size model). However whilst Juno is perfect for that, as with Modx from Yamaha; the 0 series offers a lot more features that bring it more inline with the integration and controller themes that were baked in.
This makes me feel almost as if it's wasted in that position - and demands a main stage placement. Only problem is, it's lacking the power to really make the most of the onboard tech (think of how they went on to make [Modx +] recently to improve that.
Anyone in a studio is going to have a lot of other devices to integrate. So much so that they may not need such a midrange device, over a simple controller and limitless VST.
On the road - I don't see the 0 series as useful in the way the FA is (straightforward without unnecessary features that aren't fully powered) whilst the full Fantom is -- but also much heavier and with shortfalls of its own depending on model/size.
Fantom-0 has a pleasant enough build (I personally don't like the revised keybeds but thats nothing people should care about really - it's preference) and whether or not you want a VST in a box (almost literally in this case) is really about how you fit it into your playing -- not whether it's bad or good for 'everyone'. If you see what I mean.
People buy it because it does have a good range of features. But they often find it limited in their actual use, or not quite powerful enough for their deepdives. So its all down to 'what parts will I actually use'. Juno is amazing honestly for its price TO use value.
1. Can the faders be assigned to control DAW mixer?
2. Can lights on pads be turned off, dimmed, or change to different color (I don't like purple/pink) ?
3. Is USB interface only audio or MIDI too?
4. Is there Autosampling within multisampling feature?
5. Can sampling being by set audio input threshold?
Hi Asante, great questions! The faders can be assigned for DAW Control. The lights can not be edited. There is both audio and MIDI over USB. I'm not quite sure what you mean by your last two questions, so feel free to give us a call to go into more detail. Thanks!

I have a lot of keyboards, but I don't have a Roland yet. Been thinking about getting one, might have to consider this one. The touch screen seems problematic however.
Integration will be a commonly increasing trend. Software will completely replace them otherwise. Hardware needs the compatibility with the digital processes people are becoming familiar with. Thus 'zencore' has come into being - and is a plenty powerful tool. Workstations have had mini-screens for a generation. A poor recent compromise would be nautilus - because whilst it has a screen; it has fewer handon controls along side to lend the tactile to the display. Roland is far better. A nice blend of hands-on with display. Yes it could be larger; but the screen quality is also better in terms of resolution. Along side your laptops and other instrumentation - you get alot with the 0 at a very competitive pandemic wind-down pricepoint.
@@ErraticFaith I just see the guy in the video constantly trying to touch a small icon, and it not registering at all.
I suppose as a woman barely half of his weight it would be hard to relate (lol) but certainly interfaces are a preference. They've been with us since before the days of Kronos and that's a long way now. Having a huge laptop screen with super sized interfaces is popular for a reason - I simply don't mind the little ones or find that they hold me back at all. YMMV. RnD does tend to be extensive here though.
Are there different time -signatures. Other than 4/4.
Is this the replacemnet to the Fantom 6/7/8? what are the features that the Fanton 06/07/08 don't have that the 6/7/8 do?
I think this is the replacement for the FA-0x series. Same price point from what I'm seeing.
It’s the lite version of the Fantom. I have the Fantom 8 and can tell you it’s a tank with all the bells and whistles.
@@mikemorrisonmusic I have my Fantom 7 on order, can't wait to get it in a few months.
Are there any other packs Tone banks that can be added?

Hows the sampler and its features
Thx for review! How easy or hard is it to
a) Change volume / mix of each instrument in split mode
b) Change octave of each instrument in split mode
I "downgraded" from Roland FA06 to DS61, as it was too much menu diving on FA06, whereas direct and easy on DS. I know Fantom-0 is "workstation", not "performace" keyboard, but it's so light it's tempting to use it for both :->
Hi Nikola, great question! Changing those values does require a bit of going through menus, but the volume change can be mapped to a slider in a performance patch. The octave button will default to shifting both sides of the split, but the individual patches can be transposed independently from within the menus.
Thanks!
Jason Filloramo, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1281, Jason_Filloramo@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater thanks - that's extremely helpful but so unfortunate - sounds like the fa06 method whereas ds61 makes it so easy to change on the fly. It seems much more of a jamming machine 🤔🤷♂️
Does it change tempo when you put loops on pads because fa-06 don’t have that ability also juno ds don’t change tempo don’t have those features, does it has? Tempo synch feature? Please reply
Nope, the exact same as FA-06, but importing sample files now no longer requires that you dump all your files into one folder, you can browse the external memory now (a feature oddly left out of the FA), so you can now have files properly organized by folder.
For further sample manipulation, get an Akai MPC One or Live, or do it on a computer before loading the sample(s) onto external memory to use with the Fantom-0, same as with the FA. There's also the new Roland SP-404 Mk2 for sample manipulation, but a used MPC One is a vastly better deal, in my opinion.
So, the only missing feature from the regular Fantom line is a sample interface. Probably worth it, when you think about having both the joystick and the traditional wheels. What other keyboard or synthesizer includes both controllers together?
It has a Sampling Possibility !!
As a retrofit, @@ingofritzsche7737?
How different is this from the Fantom 8?
Do you need to hook it up to speakers? Or does it have built in speakers
Hello, great question! External speakers and/or headphones are required for this keyboard. If you need help finding the best ones for your needs, feel free to reach out. Thanks!

Interesting
Damn... my Juno DS is looking scared rn! Few things though, no Cubase control? Are the model expansions free?
Hello, great question! There is no Cubase control. With the Fantom 0 there are two free model expansions and the rest are $149 (except the SDZ which is only $1).

How do vibe’s sound ?
Can I assign a zone to an iPhone/iPad app and play it through the Fantom as an external source?
I think we need to complain to Roland to create a class-compliant driver for the FANTOM and FANTOM-0. They did it for the MC's.
Hi Tony, great question. The short answer is yes, so long as your app can be set up to receive MIDI information on a specific channel. You may need a MIDI interface of some type to integrate the keyboard with your device as well. Feel free to give us a call to go into more detail on this. Thanks!

@@ablesam I shot Ed Diaz a message and posted on the Roland Clan forum, hope it means something at least. I didn't even know that they released the driver for the MC-707, so it is possible.
Hi. I want to know if the keybed is the same as on rd 800 or rd88?
Hi, thanks for your interest! The Fantom-08 features the PHA-4 weighted keybed, which is the same as what's on the RD-88. The Fantom-07 and 06 have a semi-weighted, synth action keybed. Feel free to contact me directly with further questions, and thanks again!

When will it be supported with other DAW besides logic, and able to?
The reason it's so integrated into Ableton is that the company gave access to the source code and so on, to allow it to work cooperatively. Other companies, lets use Cubase as an example; will not do so because Steinberg is owned by Yamaha Corp. They don't want other competitors to have access in that fashion, since it's a rival brand for them.
I could say more on the topic but I won't since I am affiliated, it's not really appropriate. Personally I am not a big 'integration' fan - because I didn't grow up with it. I know, time moves on. But these are still little steps in that regard. It goes with Ableton but still maps well to others.
Great demo Jacob!!. I would like to see more detail on what can be really done with the PADs. Where can I find that? Thank you
The Reference manual and Owner's manual.
The pads are no different from the FA-06's if you are familiar with that older keyboard. Sampling functionality is less than basic.
@@Jason75913, thank you very much for the obvious answer… if the manuals were that good, I wouldn’t have made the question in the first place…
@@jPaulofe but they are really good? so what are your questions that they could not answer?
I tend to mention manuals because people often do not read them or only read the simplistic Owner's manual and not the others, which cover more detail, and then complain that the Owner's manual is too basic.
Can you set it up so it can have a bass and rythym that follows your playing like a Yamaha psr or some arranger keyboard?
Hello, Robert! The Fantom is really more of a workstation than it is an arranger. It will allow you to build your own tracks via its sequencer and linear editor, but it does not automatically create a rhythm track that follows your playing. It is still a great keyboard for a one person band type application, but you would have to build out your arrangements manually beforehand.
Thanks for the interest!

@@sweetwater okay,thx
@@thelibrarian3734 not me,😂,
Roland fantom 08 or Yamaha ck 88? Is it worth it to sacrifice a little bit better sounds on Yamaha, for sequencer plus everything else on Roland?
Sequencer of Fantom is trash. It allows only 4/4 and 3/4 time signatures and is clip based (you need to chain midi clips to organize a song). For anything basic songwriting related you anyway will be using software midi sequencer bar primitive edm/rap. Yamaha CK 88 is rather traditional stage keyboard. If you are a performer and don't need any of these non keyboard synths, pads, sound effects, drum kits, etc., CK-88 is the way to go. But if you also involved in songwriting and producing songs Fantom 08 is a better option with massive collection of sounds, synth engine, MFX, 16 parts, USB audio stream. It even has mic input and additional 1/4 inch outputs for band music applications. Arguably Fantom - 08 is more complete keyboard (it's workstation afterall), but stage keyboards such as CK-88 has their own advantages otherwise none would buy them (MODX with the same GHS keyboard costs the same). BTW, if you interested in piano sound exclusively and using it mostly at home, P-515 is an option too (just watch out its weight).
I have a Korg Kronos SE and wonder how the Fantom 0 series would compare to that board. The sequencer seems to be somewhat easier to me.
I think you can’t really compare the fantom-0 to the Kronos SE, as the Kronos SE is only the same Kronos functionality with a lighter and no aftertouch keyboard, but the Fantom-0 has a lot less things than the Fantom, and some of them you have to buy… wondering if they worth the price…
@@jPaulofe The Kronos SE does have aftertouch, perhaps you are thinking of the LS88 which is lighter.
You’re right, I just referring to the LS… my bad
Which audio format playing this keyboard MP3 OR WAVE
That looks like the phantom 08 not as you say, the phantom eight - please don’t confuse us. (anymore than we already are 😂).
What is missing from the original Fantom series? Thanks.
Hi, Charles! Thanks for the interest. There are a number of differences between the flagship Fantom instruments and the new Fantom-0 series. Some of the big ones are the synth filter (analog on the Fantom, digital on the Fantom-0), the keybed (highly upgraded on the Fantom - the 88-key weighted version of the flagship has the same PHA-50 keybed as Roland's high-end stage pianos), and a lot more connectivity on the full Fantom (including CV/gate to integrate with modular synth rigs). The Fantom-0 keyboards are also a good bit smaller and lighter than the full Fantoms, so they could potentially be a better choice for gigging players for whom portability is a concern. Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me directly with any further questions!

The audio over usb function, does it work with iOS ? With the built in audio interface it’s easy to play vst patches from computer straight out through the keyboard. But was wondering if it’s iOS compatible…?
Audio-Over-USB is non-class-compliant on it's big brother so very doubtful
@@kmjansen okay. Thanks. Only recently noticed MODX8 and Montage support that feature and it’s extended to iOS as well. But Montage is…..pricey and mostly out of stock anyway 😅
Hi, Harold! Thanks for the interest. As long as the app you are using supports class-compliant audio, you should be able to use it to stream audio over USB to the outputs on the Fantom-0. However, you may not be able to do complex routing as you can with a laptop/desktop computer, since there is no Roland driver for iOS. Hope this helps, and feel free to contact me directly with any further questions!
Caleb Lowrey, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1620, caleb_lowrey@sweetwater.com
@Sweetwater please can you clarify this reply. Is the fantom o series class compliant for usb audio? It's a yes or no answer! My fantom 6 doesn't have it.
@@sweetwater Every Roland device I own including the flagship Fantom only supports USB-audio via non-class compliant USB drivers. No drivers, no USB audio which is a major problem for me once they stop supporting driver updates for my products and makes iOS compatibility a non-starter. It would be a major departure from their MO to shift to non-class-compliant audio-over-USB. I think your reply was incorrect.
So compared to the regular Fantom what are we giving up? Is there a chart of the missing features someplace?
pretty much the same in terms of synth engine. minor cutdowns in rear ports (most notably lack of XLR+1/4 combi jacks). Besides that, it's got lesser version of hammer action (PHA-4, instead of PHA-50), smaller screen, less hands-on control options, lesser audio interface (16x2, as opposed to 16x3 in on Fantom). You can still import the same expansions/models and presets as Fantom
oh, also a single channel of assignable buttons/faders, as opposed to 2
@@RustediMac for like half the price… yes…. Thank you, I think I’ll take one!

@@RustediMac I'm pretty sure they put in a slower CPU and left out the aftertouch as well.
Screen to small for clip launching, multiple finger touches needed, crazy. But that's rodumb.
How about the Indian Arabic styles and voices BR Can you able to bring one video?🇨🇦
I just want to like this keyboard but strangely acoustic instruments sounds really dated, like an old FantomX 🙁
I have a Roland FA06, made in 2013 and I see barely any sound improvements here. Of course, I make my own sounds, but there are no leaps or bounds of improvement.
Even my Fantom G from 2008 doesn't sound too different from this (except for the piano and synth sounds).
@@alrick3000 And still no aftertouch, although I have that on my $149 mini controller. Go figure.
@@SWATTECHNOLOGIES Oh. My Fantom G7 from 2008 does have aftertouch. I didn't think they'd downgrade. Also, many of the features mentioned here were introduced in 2008, albeit renamed. Live mode, patch remain, Supernatural E. pianos etc. I see no feature here that would make an upgrade from my Fantom G7 a must.
@@alrick3000 Agree
@@alrick3000 This keyboard is not a flagship like the Fantom-G was. The new FANTOM's are modeles in design. There is no patch, live or song mode. And all the features here are new. These are new Supernatural Pianos and EPs. Not recycled sounds. This new Fantom beats the Fantom-G when it comes to sounds merely due to the Zen-Core, Tonewheel, Supernatural and Model Expansions engines.
sidechain compression?
Now to save some money :)
