The FANTOM EX Upgrade supercharges Roland's flagship workstation with powerful new tools for unparalleled creativity. This significant update expands the core platform with Roland's acclaimed Analog Circuit Behavior technology, new concert-class pianos and the modern n/zyme synth engine. New studio-grade reverbs are included, along with a refreshed interface and additional features for practice, performance and production. Available as a download, the FANTOM EX Upgrade is a must-have expansion for unlocking the full potential of your FANTOM workstation.

Iconic Synths Recreated With ACB

ACB faithfully recreates the circuitry and interactive behavior of vintage analog gear. The FANTOM EX Upgrade integrates ACB versions of Roland's famous JUPITER-8 polysynth and SH-101 monosynth, giving you their signature sounds and hands-on control. Combine the JUPITER-8's lush pads and textures with the SH-101's aggressive bass and leads for retro-futuristic sounds impossible on the original instruments.

Premium Pianos for Natural Expression

The FANTOM EX Upgrade provides two new concert pianos powered by Roland's SuperNATURAL and V-Piano technologies. The German Concert Grand delivers rich, nuanced tone for solo performance and recording. The SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano 3 offers 15 variations from bright and dynamic to dark and moody. With natural touch and response, these pianos let your inspiration flow freely.

Modern Synth Engine for Forward-Thinking Music

The n/zyme synth engine fuses wavetable oscillators, phase modulation, resonant filters and dual step sequencer LFOs for experimental electronic sounds. n/zyme's intuitive interface invites you to sculpt sounds that shimmer, pulse and evolve. Use it alone or combine with FANTOM's onboard synth engines and ACB instruments for music that pushes into uncharted territory.

Effects and Workflow Enhancements

Two new reverb types—Shimmer and Modulation—generate expansive spaces and shifting harmonic textures. Refreshed Mastering EQ and Comp interfaces join templates for faster setup. New DAW Control profiles support Cubase and Studio One integration. The FANTOM EX Upgrade streamlines your creative process so you can compose, record and perform without limitations.
