19 Overview of the Fantom Overview of the Fantom How the Fantom Is Organized Basic Structure Broadly speaking, the Fantom consists of a keyboard controller section , a sound generator section , and a sequencer section . These sections are internally connected via MIDI.
20 Overview of the Fantom Patches Patches are the basic sound configurations that you play during a performance. Each patch can be configured by combining up to four tones. How the four tones are combined is determined by the Structure Type parameter (PATCH/TMT) (p.
21 Overview of the Fantom Overview of the Fantom About Simultaneous Polyphony The Fantom can play a maximum of 64 sounds simultaneously. The following paragraphs discuss what this means, and what will happen when more than 64 simultaneous voices are requested from the Fantom.
22 Overview of the Fantom About Memory Patch and performance settings are stored in what is referred to as memory . There are three kind of memory: temporary, rewritable, and non-rewritable.
23 Overview of the Fantom Overview of the Fantom About the Onboard Effects Effect Types The Fantom has three built-in effect units, and you can independently edit each unit ’ s settings. Multi-Effects The multi-effects are multi-purpose effects that completely change the sound type by changing the sound itself.
24 Overview of the Fantom In the Performance Mode or Multitimbre Mode The multi-effects, chorus and reverb effects can be set individually for each performance and multitimbre. The intensity of each effect will be set for each part (Fig. 1), but the Send Level setting for each tone can also influence effect intensity (Fig.
25 Overview of the Fantom Overview of the Fantom Tempo Track The Tempo track records tempo changes of a song over time. It can be used for tempo changes during a song. If a song has the same tempo from beginning to end, the Tempo track can be ignored.
26 Overview of the Fantom Positions for Storing a Song fig.01-11.e Internal Memory The sequencer has an area called internal memory that can temporarily store one song. So we call this temporary song Internal Song . To play back a song saved to a disk with the Fantom, it doesn ’ t have to be loaded into internal memory.
27 Overview of the Fantom Overview of the Fantom Basic Operation of the Fantom Switching the Sound Generator Mode ([MODE]) The Fantom has three sound generating modes: Patch mode, Multitimbre mode, and Performance mode. You can select the sound generating mode (state) that is most appropriate for how you are playing the Fantom.
