NEW DIMENSIONS IN SOUND

FANTOM EX puts a colossal library of genre-defining Roland sounds at your fingertips. Create, compose, and perform with over 7000 onboard tones and a deep array of powerful synthesis tools.

Roland’s Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) technology brings an authentic analog sound experience to life in the digital realm, faithfully recreating analog circuitry and all their interactive behaviors at a component level. FANTOM EX features three ACB instruments with the latest advancements, including Circuit Mod and Condition functions for dialing in varying degrees of vintage character.

Released in 1981, the JUPITER-8 is one of the most revered and sought-after polysynths of all time. The JUPITER-8 ACB Expansion puts a complete circuit-level recreation of this vintage icon inside FANTOM EX.

The SH-101 ACB Expansion for FANTOM EX is an ultra-detailed sonic replica of the famous Roland SH-101 from 1982, an influential monosynth that continues to shape and inspire electronic music styles the world over.

In 1983, the landmark JX-3P ushered in an era of sleek looks, easy preset recall, and stable tuning via analog oscillators under digital control. Indistinguishable from the sound of the original, the JX-3P ACB Expansion brings this underground classic to your JUPITER-8 and SH-101 ACB Expansions come preinstalled. The JX-3P is a free download on Roland Cloud for FANTOM EX owners and purchasers of the FANTOM EX Upgrade for original FANTOM models.

The flexible and expandable ZEN-Core Synthesis System leverages decades of Roland R&D to deliver a diverse array of electronic, acoustic, and hybrid sounds. Develop nuanced and expressive tones with up to four partials, each with an independent oscillator, filter, amplifier, dual LFOs, and effects. And use up to 16 tones in a Scene to build complex splits, layers, and sequenced parts.

MODEL EXPANSIONS

From rare and sought-after classics to the designs of tomorrow, Model Expansions provide unprecedented access to the historic and ever-evolving world of Roland synthesizers. FANTOM EX comes with six preloaded Model Expansions driven by the versatile ZEN-Core system.

n/zyme is a thoroughly modern instrument with an all-new synth engine developed for the FANTOM environment. Combining wavetable oscillator layers, phase and shape modulation, resonant filters, and two insanely powerful Step LFOs, n/zyme is a highly interactive music tool that sparks endless creative explorations.

The vintage-inspired JD-800, JUNO-106, JUPITER-8, JX-8P, and SH-101 Model Expansions capture the essence of legendary Roland instruments, enhanced with more polyphony and other modern features for today’s creators.

Acoustic piano is the foundational instrument for many keyboardists. The V-Piano and SuperNATURAL technologies in FANTOM EX bring you deeply expressive pianos that sound and feel like the real thing. The V-Piano interface has been refreshed for a smoother workflow, and the German Concert V-Piano Expansion 01 developed for the RD-2000 comes preinstalled. Core SuperNATURAL acoustic and electric pianos are also included, along with the newly developed SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano 3 Expansion.

Roland’s Virtual ToneWheel engine faithfully emulates the sound-generating process of vintage organs, with several tone wheel types, adjustable percussion, key click, leakage, and more. There’s also a lush rotary effect with variable speed, brake control, and tube distortion characteristics. The touchscreen, sliders, knobs, and keyboard action are automatically configured to complete the authentic organ experience, providing hands-on control and classic quick-fire playability.

On Roland Cloud, you can find an ever-expanding selection of ZEN-Core Sound Packs and Wave Expansions to explore. There’s a diverse range of styles and new titles added each month, so you’ll always keep your music sounding fresh.
