The basics of using the Fantom-X live

What is a Patch?

A “patch” is the basic unit of sound that you play on the Fantom-X; it
corresponds to the sound of an individual instrument such as a piano, organ,
or guitar.

What is Patch mode?

The easiest way to play the Fantom-X live is in
as a piano, organ, etc.

This chapter will focus mainly on how to use the Fantom-X in the most basic way by playing patches. We

will also take a look at how Performance mode lets you combine more than one patch.

Saving the settings you create

Once you’ve created an original patch, you’ll need to save it as a user patch if
you want to use it again. This is called the “WRITE” operation. The
illustration below shows the WRITE procedure.
If you select another patch without writing your edited patch, your edits will
be lost.

* User patches and user performances have “USER” displayed in front of their name; e.g., “USER: 002 Concert

Piano.” These let you store your own original sounds.

Play an arpeggio by holding down a chord

It can be difficult to “manually” play a complex or rapid arpeggio on the
keyboard. The Fantom-X’s
arpeggio based on the chord you hold down on the keyboard. This lets you
create dynamically changing phrases simply by changing chord positions.

Using the Arpeggio function

Press [ARPEGGIO] to turn on the Arpeggio function.

* In Performance mode you must choose one part that will use the arpeggio function.

the arpeggiated notes will sound.

fig.0-10

18

Adding other changes to the phrase

The Arpeggio screen also contains the settings shown below. Even with the same chord held down,

changing these settings can produce entirely different phrases. Try out various settings to create the

phrase you want. You can also use the knobs to adjust some of these settings directly. (p. 35)

Range Explanation and suggestions for use

Oct Range Changes the octave range of the phrase

pitches in which the arpeggiated phrase will sound, in units of one oc­tave. Since the range can be extended as much as three octaves, you can
produce phrases that have dramatic changes in pitch. You can also use
this knob to adjust the Octave Range while you perform.

Arp Accent Changes the way in which accents occur

cents of the arpeggiated phrase. Increasing this value will emphasize the
loud/soft dynamics. Lowering this value will produce flatter dynamics,
but may give you a greater sense of “speed” for techno-style phrases.

Arp/Rhythm Grid Adjusts the speed of the phrase

at which the arpeggiated phrase will be played. By adjusting this setting
you can produce the extremely rapid phrases that can be played only by
an Arpeggio.

Producing guitar strums (Rolled Chord Function)

When you strum a chord downward on a guitar, the strings are sounded in order from the lowest to the

highest string. The Fantom-X provides a function that simulates this, sounding the individual notes of the

chord slowly when you play the keyboard softly, or rapidly when you play the keyboard strongly. This is

also effective on piano or strings.Press [F5 (Rolled Chord)] to turn this function on. By default, the chord

is sounded as an up-stroke, but you can also choose down-stroke or alternate between up and down.

Tips for sampling the external input

When sampling from the external input, the most important thing is to set the level correctly.
It is best to sample at as high a volume as possible, but excessive volume will cause distortion.
To get the best results, refer to the following points as you make settings.

When using analog input

• Use the INPUT level knob to adjust the input level. (Make sure that the red indicator does not light.)

• Press [SAMPLING] to access the Sampling Standby screen.

Watch the level meter to see whether the far right indicator lights.

• If it lights, hold down [SHIFT] and press [MIX IN], and lower the “Mix In Output Level.”

When using digital input

• Press [SAMPLING] to access the Sampling Standby screen.

Watch the level meter to see whether the far right indicator lights.

• If it lights, hold down [SHIFT] and press [MIX IN], and lower the “Mix In Output Level.”

* When sampling from the digital input, set “Digital Input Level” to 127.
