JX-3P ACB Expansion (free download from Roland Cloud)

The Power of Zen-Core
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.
Model Expansions
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 8 EX comes with six preloaded Model Expansions driven by the versatile Zen-Core system.

Acoustic piano is the foundational instrument for many keyboardists. The V-Piano and SuperNatural technologies in Fantom 8 EX bring you deeply expressive pianos that sound and feel like the real thing.

Core SuperNatural acoustic and electric pianos are also included, along with the SuperNatural Acoustic Piano 3 Expansion.
Essential organs
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.

Work with MIDI gear and control software synthesizers directly from the touchscreen. And drive modular and analog synths from the dual CV/gate outputs.
Sampling workstation
With Fantom 8 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.
