Performance data

Controller

This includes the keyboard, pads, pitch bend/modulation lever, wheels, panel knobs, sliders, and pedals connected to the rear panel. When you perform a performance operation such as pressing or releasing a key or pressing the damper pedal, the operation is converted into a MIDI message and transmitted to the sound engine and to an external MIDI device.

Pattern

This is a unit of sequence data that records performance data for an individual tone. There can be up to eight patterns in one track. You can record up to 64 measures in one pattern.

Group

This records a combination of patterns for each track. You can create up to 16 groups in one scene.

Song

By placing groups in the desired order you can create a “song” that records that order. You can create one song in one scene.

Sampler

The sampler section lets you audio-record (sample) the sound of your keyboard performance or the input sound from an audio device or mic. The recorded pad sample can be played by pressing a pad.

This instrument features a built-in sampler that supports multisamples, whose sound can be heard via the sound engine.

“05: Sampler” (p. 79)

Pad sample

This is a piece of sampled sound. For each pad sample, you can specify looping and other settings, and assign it to a pad.

Synthesizer

This is the section that generates and modies sound. In response to the performance data from the controller, it produces an audio signal that is output from the OUTPUT jacks and the PHONE jack.

This section produces sounds ranging from piano to organ, strings, lead synths and drums.

1717

An Overview of FANTOM

Units of Sound

TONE

The “tone” is the smallest unit of sound. There are three types of tone, depending on the sound engine used by the tone.

The FANTOM produces tones using three sound engines: Z-Core and Drum.

Type Explanation

These are tones that produces the sound of a

Z-Core

ZEN-Core Tone

Drum

Drum Kit Tone

SN-A

SuperNATURAL Acoustic

SN-AP

SuperNATURAL Acoustic

Piano Tone

single instrument such as piano, organ, or synth. A single instrumental sound is created by combining four partials (PWM waves or VA oscillators). These tones consist of the ZEN-Core sound engine together with eects (MFX+EQ).

These are tones that contain a collection of multiple percussion instruments, and are called “drum kits”. A drum kit produces dierent percussion instrument sounds depending on the key (note number) that you play. These tones consist of the ZEN-Core sound engine together with eects (MFX+EQ+COMP).

* COMP applies only for the one specied zone (the zone

specied by Drum Kit Comp Zone).

This sound engine not only reproduces the sounds of acoustic instruments, but also provides the expressive power that is unique to acoustic instruments, such as the player’s performance phrases and the dierence between chordal and melodic playing.

Tone

For SuperNATURAL Acoustic tones, you can select one instrument and edit parameters that are specic to that instrument.

For SuperNATURAL Acoustic Piano tones, you can select one instrument and edit parameters that are specic to that instrument.

* To use the SN-AP tones, an SN-AP tone expansion must

be installed (p. 171).

* Pre-installed by factory default

be installed (p. 171).

* Pre-installed by factory default

Although you are limited to using just one part of the keyboard (for ZONE 2 only), this feature lets you use the latest in modeling technology to recreate the sounds of the most highly acclaimed tonewheel organs.

With the Model tones, you edit the parameters that are unique to their respective model bank.

* To use the Model tones, a Model tone expansion must

be installed (p. 171).

What is the ZEN-Core engine?

This is a new synthesizer sound engine that was developed using cutting-edge technology based on VA technology developed for the V-Synth. It features analog-like response speed and high resolution, allowing you to create a wide range of high-quality sounds. It is also fused with the PCM sound engine developed by Roland for many years, supporting even more sophisticated sound design.

ZONE

This is a container for playing a tone.

To play a tone, you assign it to a zone. For each zone, you can specify whether it is connected to the keyboard, and make settings such as its key range, volume, pan, and controller reception.

There are 16 zones; by combining zones you can create sounds that consist of multiple tones, or create foundational performance (tone) settings for each song.

You can also use specic zones to control an external sound module (EXT ZONE) instead of the internal sound engine.

SCENE

A scene contains a favorite performing state, including settings for each zone (tone, MFX, volume, etc.), settings common to all zones (Reverb, Chorus, IFX, etc.), and sequence data for each zone.

You can store an idea for a song or phrase as a scene, and manage scenes by switching them for each song.

You can freely recall saved scenes in the SCENE SELECT screen that appears after startup.

By using the SCENE CHAIN function you can place and recall scenes in the order of the songs that you’ll be playing live, or collect frequently-used scenes for easy recall (p. 74).

An Overview of FANTOM

About the Eects

The FANTOM is equipped with the following built-in eects, and settings can be made independently for each.

Eect type Eect Explanation

This is a general-purpose multi-eect that transforms the sound itself, giving it an entirely dierent character. You can choose from 90 types as appropriate for your needs.

These types include single eects such as distortion or anger, as well as a variety of other types.

Each tone has settings for one multi-eect.

A drum kit can use six compressor units. These can be assigned to individual drum instruments.

A drum kit can be assigned to all zones, but the six compressor units for a drum kit apply only to the specied one zone (the zone specied by Drum Kit Comp Zone).

This is an equalizer that can be applied to each partial of tone. You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-frequency ranges.

This is an equalizer that can be applied to each drum inst. You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-frequency ranges.

This is an equalizer that can be applied to each zone. You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-frequency ranges.

Chorus is an eect that adds depth and spaciousness to the sound. This eect is common to all zones.

Reverb is an eect that produces the reverberation that is characteristic of sounds heard in a hall.

This eect is common to all zones.

These are general-purpose insert eects that can transform the sound itself, giving it a completely dierent character.

There are 90 types, and you can select and use the type that’s appropriate for your purpose. Use these when you want to apply a further eect in addition to the multieect. The insert eects provide two independent eect units, IFX 1 and 2, and you can make routing settings to connect IFX 1 and 2 in series or in parallel. These eects are common to all zones.

The mastering compressor compresses sound that is louder than the specied volume level, making the volume more consistent.

It can be adjusted independently for the high, mid, and low-frequency regions.

The mastering EQ is an equalizer that is applied to the entire sound engine of the FANTOM.

You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-frequency ranges.

This is located after the mastering compressor and mastering EQ in the eects chain. You can apply this multi-eect to the overall sound of the unit.

This cuts the unwanted low-frequency portion from the input sound of the AUDIO INPUT jacks.

An eect that applies a human vocal character to the synth sound to produce a sound like someone singing.

You can sample sounds inputted through the AUDIO INPUT jack with the MFX applied, or apply the MFX to instrument tones you are playing that do not use eects.

The temporary area

This temporarily stores the data for the scene, tones, and sequence data that you selected using the panel buttons.

When you perform, the sounds are produced according to the settings of the temporary area. When you edit scenes, tones, or sequence data, your changes aect the data that has been recalled into the temporary area; they do not directly modify the data of that memory.

Settings in temporary memory are not permanent; they will be lost when you turn o the power or recall other settings.

If you want to keep the settings that are in temporary memory, you must save them to user memory or a USB ash drive.

Rewritable memory

Playing One Tone in One Zone

Most of the scenes provided by the factory settings produce sound using a combination of multiple zones. These are created so that playing a key might sound multiple tones, or that dierent tones might sound in dierent areas of the keyboard.

About unlit zones

(when Zone Int/Ext Control is set to “BASIC”) (p. 164)

If you play the keyboard when the ZONE INT/EXT button of the current zone is unlit, only the current zone is heard regardless of the lit status of other zones.

In this example, only ZONE 4 (the current zone) is heard when you play the keyboard.

Normally, zones whose ZONE INT/EXT button is unlit do not respond to your playing, and are used mainly to play MIDI messages from a sequencer. If you want to hear the sound of such zones, you can successively switch the current zone to each unlit zone and play the keyboard to hear the sound of that zone.

Since the current zone is saved in the scene, take care to return the current zone to its original setting before you save.

Performing with Rhythm Patterns

What is a rhythm pattern?

The FANTOM can automatically play a variety of rhythms while you perform.

The performance data for these rhythms are called “rhythm patterns”.

In a band, the drums typically repeat xed patterns that are one or two measures long. A wide variety of performance data used as the basis of these repetitions is built-in and organized into categories for uses such as intro, verse, ll, and ending. The type of each pattern is indicated by its rhythm pattern name.

Pattern Explanation

Intro

Verse1, 2

Fill-In1, 2

Ending

MEMO

Rhythm pattern settings are saved in the scene.

These are performance patterns used during the introduction.

These are the main performance patterns. “1” is the basic pattern, and “2” is a variation of it.

These are ornamental performance patterns inserted between phrases. Choose either “1” or “2” depending on the pattern that follows the ll.

These are performance patterns used during the ending of the song.

Sampling Functions

To add to the existing Sample Pad feature that lets you use the pads to play the samples you’ve recorded, the FANTOM lets you bring in sampled sounds as waves that you can use to create tones and play those sounds in dierent pitches across the keyboard, or assign multiple waves to the keyboard (using the multisample function).

User Sample

Data that you sample on this unit or import as audio les is called “user samples”. There are two kinds of user samples: “Pad” samples and “Kbd” (keyboard) samples.

Pad Sample

Pad samples are eective for playing long phrases, adding sound eects and so on.

Kbd Sample

Kbd samples are eective for playing samples back in dierent pitches using the keyboard. Samples are treated as tone oscillators.

Multisample

Multisamples combine multiple waves, treating them as one sound.
