Roland Fantom 6 EX is the most potent creative keyboard on the planet. The latest chapter in the Fantom legacy supercharges Roland's premier synth platform with next-level capabilities, offering multiple advanced sound engines, enhanced composition and performance tools and superior playability.
Equipped with 61 synth-action keys, Fantom 6 EX includes every feature from its acclaimed predecessor and so much more. Updated with Roland's most sophisticated technologies, this robust platform brings you a complete creative ecosystem for professional sound design, sequencing, and performance.
Fantom 6 EX includes the most expansive collection of premium sound engines available in a hardware instrument. ACB, Zen-Core, V-Piano, SuperNatural and other Roland technologies spark inspiration at every turn, providing expressive and inspiring sounds for every musical style.
Fantom 6 EX is designed for non-stop creation, with a highly flexible architecture that lets you bring musical ideas alive in seconds. Freely combine the internal engines to create classic sounds, unique voices and complex sonic textures. Explore fluid composition tools and recall complete creative environments with a touch. Extend your range with integrated control modes for leading music production software. And go even further with a vast selection of premium sound content on Roland Cloud.
Fantom 6 EX delivers the power you need on demand, so you'll never have to compromise your musical vision. Core custom processors provide smooth and precise operation with plenty of overhead, enabling loads of polyphony and full patch remain for seamless transitions. There are dozens of simultaneous effects, including studio-grade reverbs and updated Master FX for shaping the overall sound. A characterful analog filter is also available, perfect for infusing tones with extra warmth and grit.
Shape sounds instantly and compose effortlessly with the friendly, ergonomic panel filled with buttons, knobs and sliders. Immerse yourself in a gorgeous color touchscreen that dynamically changes to support the task at hand. And personalize the look by importing custom images for the screensaver and startup view.
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 6 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, 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 6 EX.
The SH-101 ACB Expansion for Fantom 6 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 Fantom 6 EX workflow.
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.
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 6 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 6 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 Roland RD-2000 comes preinstalled. Core SuperNatural acoustic and electric pianos are also included, along with the 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.
Fantom 6 EX flows effortlessly into any computer-based production setup. You have custom touchscreen control and dedicated modes for popular software platforms, including Ableton Live, Logic Pro, MainStage, Cubase and Studio One. With the built-in 16×3 audio/MIDI USB interface, you can mix and layer soft synths with hardware sounds, send sequencer parts to computer tracks, route DAW sources through Fantom 6 EX effects and much more.
The loaded Fantom 6 EX rear panel lets you interface with nearly anything. Connect mics and instruments via the XLR combo connectors and route sounds to external destinations with eight individual 1/4" outputs. Work with MIDI gear and control software synthesizers directly from the touchscreen. And drive modular and analog synths from the dual CV/gate outputs.
With Fantom 6 EX, you can sample internal and external sources – or both at once. Sample directly to the onboard pads for quick triggering or to the keyboard for instant pitched sounds. Or create detailed multisamples with up to 352 samples per tone. You can even use samples as the basis of a Zen-Core tone, taking custom sound design to a new level.
Fantom 6 EX is a versatile musical composition platform that excels at speedy creation. Build arrangements in a flash with the clip-based workflow. Trigger sounds, clips and patterns with the 16 RGB pads. Compose with the classic TR-REC style step sequencer or capture sounds in real time. And fine-tune tracks with the large touchscreen and intuitive piano-roll editing.
High-quality effect processing is essential to professional sound design and music production. Fantom 6 EX is packed with on-demand effects from the vast Roland library, ready to infuse your parts with color, space and depth. Shimmer Reverb and Modulation Reverb algorithms offer sonic quality that rivals the finest standalone processors. There's also a dedicated Master FX processor with preset templates for fast results and refreshed graphical interfaces for the Mastering Comp and Mastering EQ sections.
Each Fantom EX model comes equipped with a premium keyboard and aftertouch support. Fantom 6 EX features a semi-weighted synth action. Precision-crafted with decades of Roland development knowledge, these inspiring keyboards deliver the most expressive playability available.
There's an ample selection of knobs and sliders for intuitive and immediate control, with high-resolution data entry for detailed tweaks and ultra-smooth sweeps. The dedicated synthesizer section features oscillator, filter and envelope controls, and there are numerous buttons and pads for triggering and sequencing. It's even possible to connect up to three class-compliant USB MIDI controllers to expand your workflow.
Fantom 6 EX is built using the high construction standards you expect with a flagship Roland instrument. From the sturdy metal chassis to the top-grade components and connectors, this synth is ready to withstand the rigors of nightly gigging and global touring.
