How to Read This Manual
The Fantom-S comes with four manuals: Quick Start, Owner’s Manual, Parameter List. The manual
you’re reading now, Quick Start, offers a basic introduction to the Fantom-S, and provides simple,
easy-to-understand explanations, allowing the beginner to quickly experience many of the FantomS’s exciting features. As you read the Quick Start, we recommend actually performing the described
operations on your Fantom-S. For feature details, and for explanations of advanced uses, read the
separate Owner’s Manual. Sound/Parameter List contains sound lists and parameter and
information on the Fantom-S’s MIDI implementation. This Owner's Manual applies to both the
Fantom-S and the Fantom-S88. The manual uses the term "Fantom-S" to indicate both models. If you
have the Fantom-S88, please read “Fantom-S” as “Fantom-S88.”

Getting Ready
Monitor speakers
(powered)
Power amp
Mixer etc.
Stereo headphones
to Power outlet
In order to fully experience the
Fantom-S’s sound, we
recommend using a stereo
amp/speaker system. If you’re
using a mono system,
however, make your
connections to the Fantom-S’s
OUTPUT A (MIX) jack L
(MONO).
Connecting an Amp and Speaker System
Since the Fantom-S contains no amplifier or speakers, you’ll need to connect it to audio
equipment such as a keyboard amplifier, monitor speaker system or home stereo, or use
headphones to hear its sound.
Before hooking anything up, make sure that the power on all of your gear is
1.
turned OFF.
Connect one end of the supplied power cable to the Fantom-S, and the other
2.
end to a power outlet.
Connect the Fantom-S to your amp/speaker system as shown in the diagram.
3.
fig.Q-01.e_80
To prevent malfunction and/
or damage to speakers or other
devices, always turn down the
volume, and turn off the
power on all devices before
making any connections.
Use audio cables to connect audio equipment such as an amp or speakers. If you’re using
headphones, plug them into the PHONES jack.
Audio cables are not included
with the Fantom-S. You’ll need
to provide them.
For details on how to install a
Wave Expansion Board (sold
separately), refer to “Installing
the Wave Expansion Board”
(Owner’s Manual; p. 203).

Getting Ready
To ensure proper operation of
the pitch bend lever, make
sure not to touch the lever
when turning the Fantom-S’s
power on.
Placing the Fantom-S88 on a Stand (For Fantom-S88 user)
If you want to place the Fantom-S88 on a stand, we recommend that you use the Roland KS-17.
Place the instrument on the stand as follows.

Turning On the Power
* Once the connections have been completed (previous page), turn on power to your various
devices in the order specified. By turning on devices in the wrong order, you risk causing
malfunction and/or damage to speakers and other devices.
Before turning on the Fantom’s power, consider these two questions:
1.
• Are all peripheral devices connected correctly?
• Have the volume controls of the Fantom-S and all connected audio devices been turned to
their lowest settings?
Turn on the POWER ON switch located on the rear panel of the Fantom-S.
2.
fig.Q-02
Center
Do not touch!
* This unit is equipped with a protection circuit. A brief interval (a few seconds) after power
up is required before the unit will operate normally.

3.
Turn on the power for any connected amplifiers or speakers.
4.
Play the Fantom-S’s keyboard, gradually increasing the setting of its volume
control, and then carefully raise the volume of your connected amplifiers or
speakers to the desired listening level.
fig.Q-03
Adjusting the Display Contrast (LCD Contrast)
The characters in the display may be difficult to view immediately after turning on the FantomS’s power or after extended use. Your viewing angle or the current lighting conditions can also
affect the appearance of the display. In such situations, you can turn the CONTRAST knob
(located on the rear panel) to adjust the contrast of the display.
fig.Q-04
Getting Ready
Be careful not to set your
listening volume too high to
avoid damage to your amp/
speaker system or your
hearing.
Turning Off the Power
Before you turn off the power, consider these two questions:
1.
• Have the volume controls for the Fantom-S and all connected audio devices been turned to
their lowest settings?
• Have you saved your Fantom-S sounds or other data you’ve created?
2.
Turn off the power for all connected audio devices.
3.
Turn off the POWER ON switch of the Fantom-S.

part 1 (C3–B3).
The bar displayed above the keyboard for part 1 is the range of notes that will sound.Hold
down a chord in the appropriate area. According to the keys you press, an arpeggiated guitar
backing will begin playing.

To stop the rhythm pattern and arpeggiator, press [ON/OFF] to make the
respective indicator go dark.
How did it go? Most likely, you now see how easy it is to play ensembles like this on your
own—by specifying the keyboard range for each part (as in the performance you selected here),
and using rhythm patterns and the arpeggiator.
