Fantom EX would probably be perfect in terms of capabilities, while Juno-X might be an acceptable compromise if you put high value in an inspiring interface.

If you are looking at a workstation synth then perhaps you might consider adding the Kurzweil to your list.

Yeah, good way to put it. While I love JUNO-X's interface for its immediacy and inspiring interface, I am wondering if it would become a bit limiting in the long run, and the tiny display won't help or complement it. So, between these Roland options, I'd rather buy Fantom EX even though it is on the expensive side for me.Uncle E wrote: Mon May 25, 2026 6:47 pm Fantom EX would probably be perfect in terms of capabilities, while Juno-X might be an acceptable compromise if you put high value in an inspiring interface.
I will give one last thought on Kronos 3, but Fantom EX looks perfect to me in all aspects of what I am looking for. Just hoping it would be available with one of the dealers.

Unfortunately, Kurzweil workstation synths are not available from any of the dealers in my country. Looks like they don't sell well in this part of the world.rACatkvr wrote: Tue May 26, 2026 12:09 am If you are looking at a workstation synth then perhaps you might consider adding the Kurzweil to your list.
