Roland Fantom-08
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- The user interface and touchscreen is first rate - so good the new Yamaha Modx M copied many of its features, like the dynamic controls below the touchscreen.
- As an owner of the 08 since it released I can say that I absolutely love this keyboard.
- I currently use a Roland Fantom 08 as my main controller. It has knobs and faders I've mapped to group instruments.
- I actually have both an 07 and an 08. I found the 08 hard work lugging to gigs and rehearsals and when an 07 came up for sale locally 2nd hand I grabbed it . I planned to sell the 08 but I like it too much for home use so I kept both.
- The 08 is great value and covers 75% of the 8. The big brother has some incremental improvements but nothing earth shattering.
Cons
- The MODX, Fantom 08 and Nautilus are slightly lower tier, which you'll notice in the build quality and the keyboard feel.
- Roland Fantom 08 or Yamaha Modx M8.
- I've owned several ones, including the Fantom 08 and RD-88. There was minimal difference between them mechanically.

Fantom 08 keyboard is far more piano like than the Modx8. If a realistic piano feel is important to you, it would make the Modx8 a non starter.
