About This Booklet; Getting Ready - Roland Fantom-Xa Overview

About the Fantom-Xa Workshop Booklets
Roland's Fantom-Xa workstation keyboard provides lots of
creative power at an affordable price. It shares many of the
features of its more expensive siblings—the Fantom X6, X7,
and X8—including killer sounds, 128-note polyphony, a full-
featured 16-track sequencer, sampling capabilities, and so
much more.
The Fantom-Xa Workshop booklets discuss some of the
things you can do with your Fantom-Xa. Each booklet
focuses on one topic, and is intended as a companion to your
Fantom-Xa Owner's Manual.

About This Booklet

One of the best things about the Fantom-Xa is the inspiring
way in which all of its elements come together to make the
creative process such a complete musical experience.

Getting Ready

You'll want to listen to the Fantom-Xa as you go through this
booklet, so plug a pair of headphones into the Fantom-Xa
PHONES jack—you'll need headphones with a 1/4" plug—or
connect the Fantom-Xa's A (MIX) L (MONO) and R outputs to
the left and right inputs, respectively, of your mixer or other
monitoring system.
For more about connecting the Fantom-Xa to headphones or your audio
system, see your Fantom-Xa Owner's Manual.
You'll also need to connect the Fantom-Xa to a grounded AC
power source using the supplied power cord, and then turn
the Fantom-Xa on, of course.
