Roland has announced a powerful new system expansion for the company’s FANTOM 6, 7, and 8 synthesizer models. Bounding with exciting new features and workflow enhancements, the user-installable FANTOM EX Upgrade supercharges Roland’s premier synthesizer series with even more creative firepower.

The most significant update in FANTOM’s history expands and enriches the core platform with powerful Analog Circuit Behavior technology and JUPITER-8 ACB and SH-101 ACB Expansions, two new grand pianos, JD-800 and n/zyme Model Expansions, studio-grade reverb effects, and more.

Introduced in 2019, FANTOM was designed as an evolving creative hub that continually grows through sound expansion, software integration, and user-requested features. The FANTOM EX Upgrade integrates a host of sound engine and system enhancements, launching the FANTOM platform far beyond the impressive capabilities of previous versions.

In development for many months, this important upgrade embodies Roland’s ongoing dedication to its flagship synth and the worldwide FANTOM community.

The Roland FANTOM series, including the FANTOM 6, FANTOM 7, and FANTOM 8, are available in the U.S. for $3,499 USD, $3,899 USD, and $4,199 USD, respectively. The Roland FANTOM EX Upgrade is now available at Roland Cloud for $199 USD.
