Profile
There are few artists who came to prominence in the eighties who
are as prolific and hard working as Howard Jones. He seems to be
constantly out on tour or creating diverse and superbly crafted
albums in his studio in Somerset England. In 2007 alone he released
3 albums and played over 60 concerts around the world including
UK, USA, Australia, Denmark, Sweden, Italy and Dubai.
Howard signed to WEA records in 1983 and had a string of hits
including 'New Song', 'What is Love', 'Hide and Seek', 'Like to Get To
Know You Well', 'Pearl in the Shell', 'Things Can Only Get Better', 'Life in
One Day', 'Look Mama', 'Everlasting Love' and 'No One is To Blame'. To
date Howard has sold over eight million albums.
Recently most of Howard's concerts are acoustic where he uses his
superb ability as a songwriter combined with his well honed skills as a
piano player to great effect. This is interspersed with the occasional
electric show which sees him performing at the very cutting edge of
technology.
This is not a tweak of the
Fantom series
but no less than a major
evolution of electronic keyboards. The hi res large
screen presents information in a rich and exciting
graphic way, like we are used to on our studio
computers but with the bullet proof Roland reliability
that you can be confident of on the road.
A colossal new sound engine has been
developed for the Fantom-G series, with
double the wave capacity of the
predecessor. The acclaimed stereo
multi-sampled 88-key piano sound of the
Fantom-X has been resampled and
improved for the Fantom-G. Potent
upgrading extends to synth, drums, bass,
strings, and other fundamental sound sets

as well. The new wind-instrument sounds,
such as flute and oboe, are particularly
expressive. In LIVE mode you can use eight
independent parts to freely create layers
and splits. While playing live, with the Patch
Remain function, sound release and effects
are seamless. All you desire for expression
during live performance is fully supported
right from the sound source.
High-quality, expressive sounds provide new impact
