FANTOM EX and ACB: Making the Impossible Possible
Roland’s acclaimed Analog Circuit Behavior (ACB) is the core technology behind AIRA products such as the TR-8S and SYSTEM-8, as well as the extensive Legendary series of software instruments on Roland Cloud. ACB 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.
Thanks to the latest Roland engineering breakthroughs, the processor-intensive ACB architecture is now available in the flagship FANTOM EX synthesizers. All the latest ACB advancements are integrated, including recently developed Circuit Mod and Condition functions for dialing in varying degrees of vintage character.
