Released in November 2023, the $199 EX upgrade for Roland’s Fantom added a handy collection of sound expansions and workflow enhancements to the company’s flagship workstation synth, but was only available as an add-on for existing owners. That’s now changed, as it’s just been announced that new purchasers can now buy the full Fantom EX experience as a complete package.
This means that, as well as all the great stuff that’s included in the standard Fantom, you also get Roland’s Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) engine baked in. This powers the Jupiter-8, SH-101 and JX-3P synth expansions that come as standard, and the n/zyme, JD-800, Juno-106, Jupiter-8, JX-8P and SH-101 Model Expansions.
