Roland has announced Fantom EX, a big upgrade for its flagship Fantom synth workstation. Sadly, it’s not free, but if you’re prepared to stump up $199 you’ll get some excellent new instruments and a few effect and workflow enhancements.
Fantom EX implements Roland’s Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) tech into the Fantom, and you’ll hear it at work in the Jupiter-8 and SH-101 ACB Expansions, both of which come included. These emulations of classic Roland synths contain the latest ACB advancements, such as the Circuit Mod and Condition features that enable you to get under the hood of your instrument and ‘age’ it to add varying degrees of vintage character.
