IMPORTANT NOTES

Power Supply 301 Do not connect this unit to same electrical outlet that is

being used by an electrical appliance that is controlled by an inverter (such as a refrigerator, washing machine, microwave oven, or air conditioner), or that contains a motor. Depending on the way in which the electrical appliance is used, power supply noise may cause this unit to malfunction or may produce audible noise. If it is not practical to use a separate electrical outlet, connect a power supply noise filter between this unit and the electrical outlet.

307 Before connecting this unit to other devices, turn off the

power to all units. This will help prevent malfunctions and/or damage to speakers or other devices.

308 Although the LCD and LEDs are switched off when the

POWER switch is switched off, this does not mean that the unit has been completely disconnected from the source of power. If you need to turn off the power completely, first turn off the POWER switch, then unplug the power cord from the power outlet. For this reason, the outlet into which you choose to connect the power cords plug should be one that is within easy reach and readily acces- sible.

Placement 351 Using the unit near power amplifiers (or other equipment

containing large power transformers) may induce hum. To alleviate the problem, change the orientation of this unit; or move it farther away from the source of inter- ference.

352a This device may interfere with radio and television

reception. Do not use this device in the vicinity of such receivers.

352b Noise may be produced if wireless communications

devices, such as cell phones, are operated in the vicinity of this unit. Such noise could occur when receiving or initi- ating a call, or while conversing. Should you experience such problems, you should relocate such wireless devices so they are at a greater distance from this unit, or switch them off.

354a Do not expose the unit to direct sunlight, place it near

devices that radiate heat, leave it inside an enclosed vehicle, or otherwise subject it to temperature extremes. Excessive heat can deform or discolor the unit.

355b When moved from one location to another where the

temperature and/or humidity is very different, water droplets (condensation) may form inside the unit. Damage or malfunction may result if you attempt to use the unit in this condition. Therefore, before using the unit, you must allow it to stand for several hours, until the condensation has completely evaporated.

358 Do not allow objects to remain on top of the keyboard.

This can be the cause of malfunction, such as keys ceasing to produce sound.

360 Depending on the material and temperature of the surface

on which you place the unit, its rubber feet may discolor or mar the surface. You can place a piece of felt or cloth under the rubber feet to prevent this from happening. If you do so, please make sure that the unit will not slip or move accidentally.

Maintenance 401a For everyday cleaning wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth

or one that has been slightly dampened with water. To remove stubborn dirt, use a cloth impregnated with a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Afterwards, be sure to wipe the unit thoroughly with a soft, dry cloth.

402 Never use benzine, thinners, alcohol or solvents of any

kind, to avoid the possibility of discoloration and/or deformation.

Repairs and Data 452 Please be aware that all data contained in the units

memory may be lost when the unit is sent for repairs. Important data should always be backed up on a USB memory, or written down on paper (when possible). During repairs, due care is taken to avoid the loss of data. However, in certain cases (such as when circuitry related to memory itself is out of order), we regret that it may not be possible to restore the data, and Roland assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

Additional Precautions 551 Please be aware that the contents of memory can be

irretrievably lost as a result of a malfunction, or the improper operation of the unit. To protect yourself against the risk of loosing important data, we recommend that you periodically save a backup copy of important data you have stored in the units memory on a USB memory.

552 Unfortunately, it may be impossible to restore the contents

of data that was stored on a USB memory or units memory once it has been lost. Roland Corporation assumes no liability concerning such loss of data.

553 Use a reasonable amount of care when using the units

buttons, sliders, or other controls; and when using its jacks and connectors. Rough handling can lead to malfunctions.

554 Never strike or apply strong pressure to the display. 555 A small amount of noise may be heard from the display

during normal operation. 556 When connecting / disconnecting all cables, grasp the

connector itselfnever pull on the cable. This way you will avoid causing shorts, or damage to the cables internal elements.

557 A small amount of heat will radiate from the unit during

normal operation.

IMPORTANT NOTES

Fantom-G_r_e.book 8

558a To avoid disturbing your neighbors, try to keep the units

volume at reasonable levels. You may prefer to use headphones, so you do not need to be concerned about those around you (especially when it is late at night).

559a When you need to transport the unit, package it in the box

(including padding) that it came in, if possible. Otherwise, you will need to use equivalent packaging materials.

561 Use only the specified expression pedal (EV-5; sold

separately). By connecting any other expression pedals, you risk causing malfunction and/or damage to the unit.

562 Some connection cables contain resistors. Do not use

cables that incorporate resistors for connecting to this unit. The use of such cables can cause the sound level to be extremely low, or impossible to hear. For information on cable specifications, contact the manufacturer of the cable.

566b The sensitivity of the D Beam controller will change

depending on the amount of light in the vicinity of the unit. If it does not function as you expect, adjust the sensi- tivity as appropriate for the brightness of your location (p. 287).

If you switch off the power to an external device that is connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO IN jack or disconnect the cable, noise may subsequently be heard in the input from DIGITAL AUDIO IN. If this occurs, correctly reconnect the external device, or turn off the Fantom-Gs [MIX IN] switch.

Before Using Cards Using USB memory 704 Carefully insert the USB memory all the way inuntil it is

firmly in place. 705 Never touch the terminals of the USB memory. Also,

avoid getting the terminals dirty. 708 USB memorys are constructed using precision compo-

nents; handle the cards carefully, paying particular note to the following.

To prevent damage to the cards from static electricity, be sure to discharge any static electricity from your own body before handling the cards.

Do not touch or allow metal to come into contact with the contact portion of the cards.

Do not bend, drop, or subject cards to strong shock or vibration.

Do not keep cards in direct sunlight, in closed vehicles, or other such locations (storage temperature: -25 to 85 C).

Do not allow cards to become wet.

Do not disassemble or modify the cards.

Handling CD-ROMs 801 Avoid touching or scratching the shiny underside

(encoded surface) of the disc. Damaged or dirty CD-ROM discs may not be read properly. Keep your discs clean using a commercially available CD cleaner.

Main Features

Sound quality thats a class above The Fantom-G features a new sound engine that provides a patch multi-effect (PFX) for each sound (patch) at all times, allowing you to create lavish sounds in a way not possible until now.

In addition, there are two multi-effects (MFX) processors that can be used flexibly. Up to twenty-two types of effects, such as chorus and reverb, can be used simultaneously.

Of course the integration of audio and MIDI featured on the Fantom-X is also provided, letting you use sampled sounds as internal sounds.

Mode settings optimized for your situation

The Fantom-G provides modes optimized for your situation; use Live mode for live performances, and Studio mode for music production.

Live mode lets you freely create eight-part multitimbral layers and splits. With functions such as Patch Remain, which ensures that the notes you were playing before switching sounds are not cut off, this mode is designed to ensure the expression and speed you need for a live performances.

Studio mode lets the Fantom-G operate as a 16-part multitimbral instrument, and allows you to use all of its effects in your music productions.

Single mode is what youll want to choose when playing a single sound, such as when using the Fantom-G as a dedicated piano or organ. Choose this mode when youre editing a sound.

The latest and greatest internal sounds Starting with the 88-note multisampled piano that was acclaimed on the Fantom-X, all sounds have been renewed. The Fantom-G boasts the worlds best lineup of sounds, with an emphasis on quality. Youll have immediately usable sounds for performance and creativity in every situation. It features 256 MB of internal waveform capacity (double that of the Fantom-X series), with broad coverage of everything from acoustic sounds to synth sounds.

Support for the new ARX series expansion boards featuring the SuperNATURAL sound generator

The Fantom-G features two slots that support the ARX series, which not only allows you to expand the existing sounds, but provides an optimal sound engine for each different sound (Rolands new SuperNATURAL technology, which boasts amazing expressive power).

This new technology delivers the expressive power and quality of the real thing, surpassing even the high-quality internal sounds.

SuperNATURAL is proprietary Roland technology that realistically expresses the tonal changes and performance techniques that are distinctive to acoustic instruments and electric instruments, bringing you natural and rich expressive power.

New 152-track sequencer is a highly evolved fusion of audio and MIDI

The fusion of audio and MIDI has evolved to a new dimension. The new sequencer provides a graphical workflow with up to 128 tracks of MIDI and 24 tracks of audio available simultaneously. The easy to understand phrase-based interface lets you use a USB mouse for an even speedier music production environment.

Full-fledged sampler The sampling functionality rivals dedicated samplers, offering not only detailed wave editing but also the ability to immediately play recorded samples from the pads or keyboard, or use them as material in audio tracks. Of course theres also an Auto Sync function, which lets you match the current tempo without changing the pitch, or change the pitch without affecting the tempo.

* 32 MB of sampling memory is provided as standard, and you can add DIMM memory (p. 308, p. 310) to expand this to a maximum of 544 MB.

Skip Back Sampling function The Skip Back Sampling function, which was so popular on the Fantom-X series, is also provided on the Fantom-G.

By constantly recording your performance on the Fantom-G, this function ensures that you can retroactively record an inspired improvisation at any time. Never again will you lose a great idea just because the recorder wasnt running.

Favorites function This function gives you one-touch call-up of settings for the songs in your live performance.

Using this, you can simply press a single button to change sounds and settings during performances that require quick changes. Each such setting includes master volume, so youll be able to prepare volume adjustments during your rehearsal to match the actual live performance environment.

Wide VGA color liquid crystal display The large wide VGA color liquid crystal screen is a revolutionary leap that ensures superb visibility and operability in any situation.

A full range of interfaces USB functionality has been enhanced. The USB MEMORY connector lets you use USB memory to back up your data. The USB MOUSE connector lets you connect a two-button wheel mouse for an even more ideal user interface. The USB COMPUTER connector handles data transfer between the Fantom-G and your computer, and also supports USB MIDI and audio. This lets the Fantom-G connect to various computer- based software tools, and also lets you use the dedicated editor software to perform editing tasks.

In addition, the external audio inputs include dedicated LINE (STEREO) input jacks and a dedicated MIC/GUITAR jack.

V-LINK V-LINK functionality opens up a new realm of expression for your performances because of the way it allows you to synchronize music and visual images. You can use controllers such as the D Beam and the Fantom-Gs knobs, sliders, and dynamic pads to control visual images as part of the process of performing your music.

Plug-in editor/librarian The included dedicated editor and librarian software let you use your computer to edit and manage the Fantom-Gs sounds. The dedicated editor also supports operation as a VSTi/AU plug-in.

Support for GM/GM2 The Fantom-G supports GM/GM2. Any music data compatible with GM/GM2 (GM Scores) can be played by the Fantom-G.

Various Performance Features

Velocity/Aftertouch The force with which you play the keyboard, or the velocity with which you play, can affect the volume or timbre of a sound. Aftertouchdownward pressure you apply to a key after playing a notecan also affect the sound.

fig.02-008

Pitch Bend/Modulation Lever While playing the keyboard, move the lever to the left to lower the pitch of the currently selected patch, or to the right to raise its pitch. This is known as pitch bend. You can also apply vibrato by gently pushing the lever away from you. This is known as modulation. If you push the lever away from you and at the same time move it to the right or left, you can apply both effects at once.

fig.02-009.e

Octave Shift (OCT) You can shift the pitch of the keyboard in one-octave units over a range of +/-3 octaves. Use KEYBOARD [-OCT] or [+OCT] at the left of the screen to make the desired setting. To return to the original setting, press both buttons simultaneously.

Transpose You can transpose the pitch of the keyboard in semitone units (-5 +6). At the left of the display, turn on the KEYBOARD [TRANSPOSE] button, and then use the [-OCT] or [+OCT] button to specify the desired transposition. To return to the original setting, press both buttons simultaneously.

There are two types of aftertouch: Polyphonic Aftertouch, which applies aftertouch to individual notes, and Channel Aftertouch, which applies aftertouch to an entire MIDI channel (p. 251). The Fantom-G can output the MIDI data for Polyphonic Aftertouch using the pads, and Channel Aftertouch using the keyboard.

For details on the setting, refer to p. 288.

Fantom-G_r_e.book 32

Overview of the Fantom-G

Broadly speaking, the Fantom-G consists of a controller section, sound generator section, sequencer section, and sampler

section. fig.04-001.j

Controller section This section includes the keyboard, pads, pitch bend / modulation lever, the panel knobs, sliders, and D Beam controller, and pedals connected to the rear panel.

Sound generator section This section generates sound in response to performance data from the controller section or sequencer section.

Sequencer section This is a sequencer with 128 MIDI tracks and 24 audio tracks. The MIDI tracks record performance data (MIDI) from the keyboard, pads, and other controllers. The audio tracks record sound (audio) from a mic or guitar connected to the Fantom-Gs audio input jacks.

Sampler section A sampler is a device that captures (samples) sound from a CD player or mic connected to the audio input or digital input, and saves this sample as a wave file.

A captured sample can be used in the same way as the waveforms of the sound generator section. You can also sample the sound of the internal sound generator section itself (p. 258).

The Fantom-G can load WAV/AIFF format wave files from your computer via USB as samples.

When using the Fantom-G, youll encounter various units of sound. Here well provide a simple explanation of these units.

Tone A Tone is the smallest unit of sound in the Fantom-G. However, you cant play a tone by itself. The smallest unit of sound that you can play is the Patch, so you can think of tones as the sonic material that makes up each patch. fig.04-002.j

A tone consists of the following five elements.

WG (Wave Generator) This selects the PCM waveform (wave) that is the basis of the sound, and specifies how its pitch will change.

All of the patches built into the Fantom-G consist of combinations of tones that are based on PCM waveforms (waves).

A rhythm tone (percussion instrument sound) contains four wave generators.

TVF (Time Variant Filter) This specifies how the frequency components of the sound will change over time.

TVA (Time Variant Amplifier) This specifies volume change and panning.

Envelope An envelope specifies a change over time. Dedicated envelopes are provided for Pitch, TVF (filter), and TVA (volume). For example, if you want to modify the time over which the sound starts or decays, you would use the TVA Envelope settings to specify the desired time-variant volume change.

LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) An LFO creates cyclic change (modulation). There are two LFOs, and each can be applied to one aspect of the sound; WG (pitch), TVF (filter), or TVA (volume). Applying an LFO to the WG pitch will produce vibrato, applying it to the TVF cutoff frequency will produce wah, and applying it to the TVA volume will produce tremolo.

A rhythm tone (percussion instrument sound) does not have an LFO.

Patch Patches are the basic unit of sound on the Fantom-G; they correspond to an individual instrument such as piano, organ, or guitar. A patch can consist of up to four tones. The Structure 1&2 and 3&4 parameters (p. 92) determine how the four tones are combined. You can apply a PFX (Patch MFX) effect to each patch. fig.04-003.j

Rhythm set A rhythm set is a group of percussion instrument sounds. Since percussion instrument sounds are not usually used to play melodies, theres no need for them to produce different pitches when played from the keyboard. Rather, its important that you have simultaneous access to as many percussion instrument sounds as possible. This is why in a rhythm set, each note (note number) of the keyboard will play a different percussion instrument sound. You can apply a PFX (Patch MFX) effect to each rhythm set. fig.04-004.j

Sample set On the Fantom-G, a piece of wave data obtained by audio recording or sampling is called a Sample. A sample set is a collection of sixteen samples handled as a set. You can specify how each sample will play when you press a pad or key.

The Fantom-G can operate in the following three modes.

Single mode Single mode is when you play a single patch (or rhythm set or sample set), using the Fantom-G as a single piano, organ, etc. Choose this mode when you want to edit a patch to create your own original sound.

Live mode Live mode is designed for live performance. It lets you play up to eight patches (or either rhythm sets or sample sets) simultaneously. For example, you can create layers (p. 62) in which a piano sound and strings sound are heard simultaneously, or splits (p. 62) in which your right hand plays a piano sound while your left hand plays a bass sound.

Live set Settings for Live mode can be saved as a live set.

Studio mode Studio mode is designed to let you record a song. It provides sixteen parts, and you can assign a patch (or rhythm set or sample set) to each part, letting you use sixteen different sounds at the same time.

You can use the mixer screen to adjust the level and pan for each of the sixteen parts.

Studio set Settings for Studio mode can be saved as a studio set.

Part On the Fantom-G, a Part is a kind of location or slot to which you can assign a patch, rhythm set, or sample set.

Live mode gives you eight parts, and you can assign a patch, rhythm set, or sample set to each part. This means that you can play up to eight sounds together.

Studio mode gives you sixteen parts, and you can assign a patch, rhythm set, or sample set to each part.

Part group In addition to the internal parts (the internal sound generator), the Fantom-G provides part groups for expansion boards 1 and 2, and for the external MIDI output.

The Fantom-G has a maximum polyphony of 128 simultaneous notes. Here well explain how the polyphony is counted, and what happens when the limit of 128 notes is exceeded.

How polyphony is counted The Fantom-G can produce up to 128 notes simultaneously. This number of notes will vary depending not only on the number of notes youre actually playing, but also on the number of tones used by each patch, and the number of waves used by each tone. When playing a patch, the polyphony is calculated as follows.

(number of patches that are sounding) x (number of tones used in the currently sounding patches) x (number of waves used by those tones)

For example, if a patch consists of four tones, and each of these tones uses two waves, it will use a total of eight notes of polyphony. If youre playing in Live mode (multi) or in Studio mode, count the polyphony for each part to obtain the total polyphony of all parts.

* If youre using realtime time stretch, twice as much polyphony will be

used.

Patch polyphony If you attempt to play more than 128 notes simultaneously on the Fantom-G, existing notes will be turned off, starting with the note having the lowest priority of the currently sounding notes. This priority is specified by the Patch Priority setting (p. 90).

You can choose either LAST or LOUDEST as the patch priority. If you choose LAST, notes will be turned off starting with the first- played of the currently sounding notes when you exceed the 128 note limit. If you choose LOUDEST, notes will be turned off starting with the note whose volume is least. Normally, you will probably want to select LAST.

If youre using multiple patches to play an ensemble, its important to specify which part gets priority for its notes over the others. This is specified by the Voice Reserve setting (p. 141). The patch priority setting (p. 90) will determine how the notes of a patch are turned off.

Voice reserve The Fantom-G provides a Voice Reserve setting, which lets you reserve a minimum number of notes for each part. For example, if you specify a voice reserve setting of 10 for part 16, ten notes of polyphony will be guaranteed to be available for the sound being played by part 16 even when the overall Fantom-G reaches its 128 note limit. When making voice reserve settings, youll need to consider the number of notes you actually want to play and the number of tones in the patches youre using (p. 141).

You can make voice reserve settings for up to a total of 64 notes for all parts.

When the audio tracks of a song are playing back, the audio tracks take priority over the voice reserve settings.

Project The largest unit of memory handled by the Fantom-G is the project. As shown in the illustration, a project contains sequencer data, samples, sounds, and various system settings. On the Fantom- G you can use one project at a time.

Preset data This is read-only data for patches, live sets, studio sets, rhythm sets, and waves.

Internal memory The Fantom-G has internal memory in which you can save a project. A project can be overwritten at will. You can also restore the memory to the factory-set condition (Factory Reset) (p. 280).

The internal memory is approximately 50 MB in size. If you need to save a project that is larger than 50 MB, youll need to save it on USB memory.

Temporary area When you switch on the Fantom-Gs power or load a project, the project data is placed in an area of memory called the temporary area.

When you edit a patch or song, you are modifying the data in this temporary area.

These edits will be lost if you simply turn off the power; if you want to keep the changes you made, you must save them (SAVE/WRITE).

DIMM memory (sold separately) You can install up to 512 MB of DIMM memory. Installing DIMM memory will allow you to record or sample for a longer period of time. For details on installing DIMM, refer to Expanding the DIMM

Memory (p. 308, p. 310).

USB memory (sold separately) Internal memory can hold only one project, but commercially available USB memory can hold multiple projects. Connect your USB memory to the rear panel USB MEMORY connector (p. 24). For details on how to format USB memory, refer to p. 280.

* If the USB memory is formatted using something other than FAT, it

will not be recognized by the Fantom-G. Use your computer to format

the USB memory with the FAT or FAT32 file system. (If youre

using Mac OS X, format the USB memory using the MS-DOS file

system (FAT32).)

USB storage You can use a USB cable to connect the Fantom-G to your hard disk, and save (back up) projects from internal memory or USB memory to the hard disk of your computer (p. 281).

Samples created using the Fantom-G can also be used by software on your computer; or conversely, you can use your computer software to create wave data and use it as samples in the Fantom-G.

Factory data The factory data is memory that holds the factory-set state of the internal memory. If you have deleted the factory-set patches or other data from internal memory, and would like to use this data again, you can execute the Factory Reset operation (p. 280).

* If youve created important data and saved it in the Fantom-Gs

internal memory, be aware that your data will be lost if you execute a

Factory Reset. (The data youre in the process of editing will

also be lost.)

Expansion boards (ARX series; sold separately) Up to two expansion boards (ARX series; sold separately) can be installed in the Fantom-G. An expansion board includes a sound generator engine, and will expand both the number of available sounds and the polyphony. For details on installing expansion boards, refer to Installing the Expansion Board (p. 304, p. 306).

Overview of the Fantom-G

Fantom-G_r_e.book 36

The Fantom-G contains the following effects units. You can make settings independently for each one.

PFX (Patch MFX) (Patch multi-effect) This is a dedicated multi-effect unit for the patch. You can use it as part of the sound of the patch itself.

You can choose from 76 types including distortion and rotary.

MFX (Multi-effect) This is a general-purpose multi-effect that can apply various modifications to the sound.

You can choose from 78 types including distortion and rotary.

Chorus Chorus is an effect that adds depth and spaciousness to the sound. You can choose whether to use this as chorus or as delay.

Reverb Reverb is an effect that simulates the reverberation that characterizes sounds heard in a hall or other acoustic environment. You can choose from 10 types of reverb.

Mastering effect This is a stereo compressor (limiter) applied to the final output of the Fantom-G. It operates independently for high, mid, and low frequency bands, compressing sounds that exceed the specified volume level, and making the overall sound more consistent.

Input effect This is a dedicated effect for the external input.

You can choose from six types, including equalizer and compressor.

The Fantom-Gs sequencer can record audio and MIDI.

Audio (samples) Audio is a recording of the sound from a mic or portable audio player connected to the Fantom-Gs input jacks. The recorded audio data is called a sample. You can create a song simply by placing samples in an audio track.

MIDI (phrases) MIDI records performance data from the keyboard or pads. The recorded MIDI data is called a phrase. You can create a song simply by placing phrases in a MIDI track.

In the sense that both types of recording can be used to capture a performance, MIDI is similar to audio, but while audio recording captures the sound of a performance, MIDI recording captures the notes and other control data of a performance, and allows you to freely make detailed edits even to the individual note data.

Performance data for one composition is called a song. This consists of audio tracks 124, MIDI tracks 1128, a tempo track, and a beat track. fig.04-009.j

A track is an area in which performance data can be recorded.

Audio tracks 124 There are twenty-four tracks for recording audio.

Samples A piece of recorded audio data is called a sample. You can create up to 2,000 samples in one project. The Fantom-G can capture samples by sampling (p. 258), or by importing WAV/AIFF format wave files via USB from your computer (p. 283). You can also create a song by placing samples in an audio track.

Samples also support the Sample Pad function (p. 191) which lets you play samples simply by pressing a pad.

MIDI tracks 1128 There are 128 MIDI tracks that can record MIDI performances. A MIDI track can be assigned to the Fantom-Gs 16 parts (Studio mode), to the two sets of up to 16 parts for the expansion boards (the number of parts will depend on the expansion board), or to the 16 parts of the external MIDI connector. You can also assign multiple tracks to a single part (for example, tracks 1 and 2 could be assigned to the Fantom-Gs part 1.)

Phrases The MIDI data recorded in a MIDI track is called a phrase. Up to 2,000 phrases can be created in a single project. Just like a track, each phrase can record a performance of 16 MIDI channels. You can also create a song simply by placing phrases in a MIDI track.

Phrases also support the RPS function that lets you instantly play a phrase simply by pressing a pad (p. 194), and the Rhythm Pattern function that lets you play rhythm patterns by pressing a pad (p. 196). This means that you can use phrases to record performance data for use in a live performance.

You can also use phrases to record your musical ideas.

Tempo track The tempo track records tempo changes for the song. Use it when you want the tempo to change during the song. If the tempo is going to stay the same from the beginning to the end of the song, you can ignore the tempo track.

When you record a song on the Fantom-G, the tempo you specify at the time of recording is stored at the beginning of the tempo track. This means that this tempo will always be used every time you play back the song.

In this way, songs are played back according to the data in their tempo track, but if you change the tempo during playback, the overall tempo of the entire song will change accordingly.

Beat track The beat track records time signature information for each measure of the song. Youll make beat track settings when recording a new song, or when you want the time signature to change during the song.

The Fantom-Gs sequencer is available at all times, regardless of the sound generator mode (Single, Live, or Studio).

In Studio mode, you can record separate performances for each part using up to sixteen sounds. This makes Studio mode the ideal choice when you want to record or play back a song using an ensemble of multiple instruments such as drums, bass, and piano.

SMF (Standard MIDI File) is a file format that allows performance data to be exchanged between music applications. Songs created on the Fantom-G can be saved as standard MIDI files.

Overview of the Fantom-G

Fantom-G_r_e.book 38

The sampling section samples (records) audio input from an external source such as an audio device or mic. You can play these sampled sounds as a patch or rhythm set. You can also import WAV/AIFF format files and use them in the same way.

Samples A sample refers to a waveform (wave) produced by sampling on the Fantom-G. A sample consists of waveform data together with parameters such as a start point, loop start, and loop end. The Fantom-G can hold up to 2,000 samples for a single project. fig.04-011.j

The eight buttons [F1][F8] located below the display (the function buttons) are used to execute various functions. Their function will depend on the screen thats currently shown. The current functions of these buttons are indicated in the bottom of the screen. fig.04-017

A single screen or window can contain multiple items (parameters) to set or select. If you want to modify the setting of a parameter, move the cursor to the value of that parameter. To select an item, move the cursor to the desired item. The value or item selected by the cursor will be highlighted. fig.04-019.j

Use / / / (cursor buttons) to move the cursor. fig.04-020

: Moves the cursor upward.

: Moves the cursor downward.

: Moves the cursor to the left.

: Moves the cursor to the right.

If you hold down a cursor button and then press the opposite cursor button, the cursor will move more rapidly in the direction of the button you pressed first.

In some cases, pressing [ENTER] while the cursor is displayed will show a list of the parameters you can select. This is a convenient way to see the choices you have. When a list is displayed, you can also use the pads to input your choice (p. 41).

Using the mouse for selection If youre using a USB mouse, you can move the cursor by clicking the mouse on a parameter value.

How the Function Buttons Work

Windows A small screen displayed within the normal screen is called a window. Various types of windows will appear as you operate the Fantom-G. Some windows display lists, others allow you to make settings or confirm operations. fig.04-018.j

To close a window, press [EXIT]. Some windows will close automatically when you perform an operation.

Playing in Live Mode

Live mode is designed for live performances; it lets you play up to eight patches (or rhythm sets or sample sets) at the same time. For example you can layer (p. 62) a piano sound with strings, or split (p. 62) sounds across the keyboard so that your right hand plays a piano sound while your left hand plays a bass sound.

In addition, Live mode lets you play the parts of any installed expansion boards (the number of parts will depend on the type of expansion board) and any external MIDI output parts at the same time as the eight parts of the internal sound generator.

A live set contains a patch (or rhythm set or sample set) assignment as well as volume and pan for each part.

When you play the keyboard, parts whose keyboard switch is on will be sounded. If none are on, the current part will sound.

In addition to the settings of each part, the following settings can also be stored for each live set.

Controller settings such as the D Beam, 14 knobs, 18 sliders, [S1] [S2] buttons, and pads

If the keyboard switch is turned on for even one part, the current part will not sound. If you want to sound the current part, turn off the keyboard switch for all parts.

To access the Live Play (Layer/Split) Screen, use the following procedure.

1. Press [LIVE].

You will enter Live Mode, and the Live Play (Layer/Split) Screen appears.

Playing in Studio Mode

Studio mode is what youll use when recording a song. It provides sixteen parts, and allows you to assign a patch (or rhythm set or sample set) to each of these parts, thus allowing you to use sixteen different sounds simultaneously.

You can use the mixer screen to adjust the level and pan for each of the sixteen parts.

In addition to sixteen parts of the internal sound generator, Studio mode allows you to simultaneously use parts of an expansion board (the number of parts depends on the expansion board) and external MIDI output parts.

A Studio set contains a patch (rhythm set, sample set) assignment for each part, as well as settings such as volume and pan for each part.

When you play the keyboard, youll hear the current part.

Every part whose keyboard switch (p. 69) is on will sound. We recommend that you leave the keyboard switch turned off. If it is on, parts other than the current part will also sound, and this is probably not what you want when youre creating a song.

Recording a song

For details on recording a song, refer to Recording MIDI (p. 217).

The Studio Play screen allows you to adjust the level and effect settings of each part just as if you were using a mixer.

To access the Studio Play Screen, use the following procedure.

Modifying the Sound in Real Time

You can use the D Beam controller, realtime controllers, assignable switches or a pedal to modify the sound while you perform.

Here we will explain the procedures and settings for using these functions in Single mode. The operations are the same in Live Mode/Studio Mode.

The D Beam controller can be used simply by waving your hand over it. It can be used to apply various effects, depending on the function that is assigned to it. You can also create effects in which the sound changes instantaneously, in a way that would not be possible by operating a knob or the bender lever. On the Fantom-G, the D Beam controller can be used not only to modify the sounds assigned to the Keyboard part or Pad part, but also to control the pitch of a monophonic (solo) synthesizer sound.

1. Access the Single Play screen (p. 46).

The following area of the screen is the D Beam controller display area.

fig.10-001

2. Press either the D BEAM [PAD TRIGGER], [SOLO SYNTH], or [ASSIGNABLE] button to turn on the D Beam controller.

PAD TRIGGER button: Use the D Beam controller to play sounds instead of striking the pads.

SOLO SYNTH button: Lets you use the D Beam as a monophonic synthesizer.

ASSIGNABLE button: Operates the function assigned to the D Beam controller.

3. While you play the keyboard or pads to produce sound, place your hand above the D Beam controller and move it slowly up and down.

An effect will be applied to the sound, depending on the function that is assigned to the D Beam controller.

4. To turn off the D Beam controller, once again press the button you pressed in step 2 so the indicator goes out.

If live mode is selected, the D Beam controller on/off setting is saved for each live set as part of the live set settings. Similarly in studio mode, this setting is saved as part of the studio set.

The sensitivity of the D Beam controller will change depending on the amount of light in the vicinity of the unit. If it does not function as you expect, adjust the sensitivity as appropriate for the brightness of your location. Increase this value will raise the sensitivity (p. 287).

Waving Your Hand Over the D Beam to Modify the Sound (D Beam Controller)

The usable range of the D Beam controller The following diagram shows the usable range of the D Beam controller. Waving your hand outside this range will produce no effect. fig.10-003

The response of the D Beam Controller can also be checked in the D Beam area of the display. This is displayed graphically as a bar that lengthens as you move your hand closer, and shortens as you move your hand away. fig.10-002

The usable range of the D Beam controller will become extremely small when used under strong direct sunlight. Please be aware of this when using the D Beam controller outside.

Chord Memory is a function that allows you to play chords based on pre-programmed Chord Forms, just by pressing a single key on the keyboard. The Fantom-G can store 128 user chord forms.

When you use the Chord Memory function with a tone for which the Mono/Poly Parameters (p. 105) is Mono, only one sound in the chord is played. When using the Chord Memory function to turn Poly the Mono/Poly Parameters.

Use Arpeggio Part Number (p. 146) to specify the parts that will use the Chord Memory function. The Arpeggio function (p. 78) will also apply to the pats selected by the Arpeggio Part setting.

1. Press [CHORD MEMORY] to turn it on.

The button will light.

2. Play the keyboard.

A chord will sound according to the currently selected chord form.

When you press the C4 key (Middle C), the chord is played using the exact chord structure recorded in the Chord Form. This is referenced to the C4 key; parallel chords are played by pressing other keys.

3. To finish the chord Memory Function, press [CHORD MEMORY] again to turn it off.

Changing the chord form will change the notes in the chord.

1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [CHORD MEMORY].

The following screen appears. fig.12-001_50

2. Either turn the VALUE dial or use [INC] [DEC] to select a Chord Form number.

Creating a Patch

With the Fantom-G, you have total control over a wide variety of settings. Each item that can be set is known as a parameter. When you change the values of parameters, you are doing what is referred to as Editing. This chapter explains the procedures used in creating patches, and the functions of the patch parameters.

Start with an existing patch and edit it to create a new patch. Since a patch is a combination of up to any four tones, you should listen to how the individual tones sound before you edit.

The Patch Zoom Edit screen allows you to edit the most important parameters of a patch. If you want to have access to all of the parameters, use the Patch Pro Edit screen (p. 86).

1. Select the patch whose settings you want to edit (p. 47).

2. Press [PATCH].

How to Make Patch Settings

Four Tips for Editing Patches Select a patch that is similar to the sound you wish to

create (p. 47).

Its hard to create a new sound thats exactly what you want if you just select a patch and modify its parameters at random. It makes sense to start with a patch whose sound is related to what you have in mind.

Decide which tones will sound (p. 50).

When creating a patch, it is important to decide which tones you are going to use. In the Patch Pro Edit screen, set Tone Switch 14 to specify whether each tone will sound (on), or not (off). It is also important to turn off unused tones to avoid wasting voices, unnecessarily reducing the number of simultaneous notes you can play.

Check the Structure setting (p. 92).

The important Structure parameter determines how the four tones combine. Before you select new tones, make sure you understand how the currently selected tones are affecting each other.

Turn Effects off (p. 150).

Since the Fantom-G effects have such a profound impact on its sounds, turn them off to listen to the sound itself so you can better evaluate the changes youre making. Since you will hear the original sound of the patch itself when the effects are turned off, the results of your modifications will be easier to hear. Actually, sometimes just changing effects settings can give you the sound you want.

Fantom-G_r_e.book 88

The sounds of the Fantom-G are based on complex PCM waveforms, and if you attempt to make settings that are contrary to the type of the original waveform, the results will not be as you expect. The internal waveforms of the Fantom-G fall into the following two banks. One-shot: These waveforms contain sounds that have short decays. A one-shot waveform records the initial rise and fall of the sound. Some of the Fantom-Gs one-shot waveforms are sounds that are complete in themselves, such as percussive instrument sounds. The Fantom-G also contains many other one-shot waveforms that are elements of other sounds. These include attack components such as piano-hammer sounds and guitar fret noises. Looped: These waveforms include sounds with long decays as well as sustained sounds. Loop waveforms repeatedly play back (loop) the portion of the waveform after the sound has reached a relatively steady state. The Fantom-Gs looped waveforms also include components of other sounds, such as piano-string resonant vibrations and the hollow sounds of brass instruments. The following diagram shows an example of sound (electric organ) that combines one-shot and looped waveforms. fig.06-005.e

Cautions When Using a One-shot Waveform It is not possible to use the envelope to modify a one-shot waveform to create a decay that is longer than the original waveform, or to turn it into a sustaining sound. If you were to program such an envelope, you would be attempting to shape a portion of the sound that simply doesnt exist, and the envelope would have no effect.

Cautions When Using a Loop Waveform With many acoustic instruments such as piano and sax, extreme timbral changes occur during the first few moments of each note. This initial attack is what defines much of the instruments character. For such waveforms, it is best to use the complex tonal changes of the attack portion of the waveform just as they are, and to use the envelope only to modify the decay portion. If you attempt to use the envelope to modify the attack portion as well, the characteristics of the original waveform may prevent you from getting the sound that you intend. fig.06-006.e

Edits you make to the settings are temporary, and will be lost if you turn off the power, switch the sound generator mode, or select a different sound. If you want to keep the modified sound, you must save it in the USER bank.

When you edit the patch settings, the symbol will appear in the Single Play screen. When you save the patch, the symbol will disappear.

When you perform the save procedure, the data that previously occupied the save destination will be lost.

1. Make sure that the patch you wish to save is selected.

2. Press [WRITE].

Patch Priority This determines how notes will be managed when the maximum polyphony is exceeded (128 voices).

Value

LAST: The last-played voices will be given priority, and currently sounding notes will be turned off in order, beginning with the first-played note.

LOUDEST: The voices with the loudest volume will be given priority, and currently sounding notes will be turned off, beginning with the lowest-volume voice.

Octave Shift Adjusts the pitch of the patchs sound up or down in units of an octave (+/-3 octaves).

Value: -3 +3

Patch Coarse Tune Adjusts the pitch of the patchs sound up or down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).

Value: -48 +48

Patch Fine Tune Adjusts the pitch of the patchs sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/ -50 cents).

Value: -50 +50

One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.

Stretch Tune Depth This setting allows you to apply stretched tuning to the patch. (Stretched tuning is a system by which acoustic pianos are normally tuned, causing the lower range to be lower and the higher range to be higher than the mathematical tuning ratios would otherwise dictate.) With a setting of OFF, the patchs tuning will be equal temperament. A setting of 3 will produce the greatest difference in the pitch of the low and high ranges.

Value: OFF, 13

The diagram shows the pitch change relative to equal temperament that will occur in the low and high ranges. This setting will have a subtle effect on the way in which chords resonate. fig.06-011.e

Analog Feel (Analog Feel Depth) Specifies the depth of 1/f modulation that is to be applied to the patch. (1/f modulation is a pleasant and naturally-occurring ratio of modulation that occurs in a babbling brook or rustling wind.)

By adding this 1/f modulation, you can simulate the natural instability characteristic of an analog synthesizer.

Value: 0127

Cutoff Offset Cutoff Frequency Offset alters the cutoff frequency of the overall patch, while preserving the relative differences between the cutoff frequency values set for each tone in the Cutoff Frequency parameters (p. 98).

Value: -63 +63

This value is added to the cutoff frequency value of a tone, so if the cutoff frequency value of any tone is already set to 127 (maximum), positive + settings here will not produce any change.

Resonance Offset Resonance Offset alters the resonance of the overall patch, while preserving the relative differences between the resonance values set for each tone in the Resonance parameter (p. 98).

Range: -63 +63

* Resonance: emphasizes the overtones in the region of the cutoff

frequency, adding character to the sound.

This value is added to the resonance value of a tone, so if the resonance value of any tone is already set to 127 (maximum), positive + settings here will not produce any change.

Attack Time Offset Attack Time Offset alters the attack time of the overall patch, while preserving the relative differences between the attack time values set for each tone in the TVA Env Time 1 parameters (p. 102), TVF Env Time 1 parameters (p. 100).

Range: -63 +63

* Attack Time: The time it takes for a sound to reach maximum

volume after the key is pressed and sound begun.

This value is added to the attack time value of a tone, so if the attack time value of any tone is already set to 127 (maximum), positive + settings here will not produce any change.

Release Time Offset Release Time Offset alters the release time of the overall patch, while preserving the relative differences between the release time values set for each tone in the TVA Env Time 4 parameters (p. 102), TVF Env Time 4 parameters (p. 100).

Range: -63 +63

* Release Time: The time from when you take your finger off the key

until the sound disappears.

This value is added to the release time value of a tone, so if the release time value of any tone is already set to 127 (maximum), positive + settings here will not produce any change.

Velocity Sens Offset Velocity Sensitivity Offset alters the Velocity Sensitivity of the overall patch while preserving the relative differences between the Velocity Sensitivity values set for each tone in the parameters below.

Cutoff Velocity Sens parameter (p. 99)

Level Velocity Sens parameter (p. 100)

Range: -63 +63

* Velocity: Pressure with which the key is pressed.

This value is added to the velocity sensitivity value of a tone, so if the velocity sensitivity value of any tone is already set to +63 (maximum), positive + settings here will not produce any change.

Wave Group Selects the group for the waveform that is to be the basis of the tone.

Value

INT: Waveforms stored in internal

SAMP: Sample waveforms

Wave Number L (Mono) Wave Number R Selects the basic waveform for a tone. Along with the Wave number, the Wave name appears at the lower part of the display.

When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specified. When in stereo, the right side (R) is also specified.

Value: OFF, 1 (The upper limit will depend on the wave group.)

If you specify only the right side (R), there will be no sound.

If you want to select a left/right pair of Waves, select the left (L) Wave number and then press [F3 (Set Stereo)]; the right (R) (Wave) will be recalled.

* When using a sample in stereo, you must specify the same number for

L and R.

Wave Gain Sets the gain (amplification) of the waveform. The value changes in 6 dB (decibel) stepsan increase of 6 dB doubles the waveforms gain. If you intend to use the Booster to distort the waveforms sound, set this parameter to its maximum value (p. 94).

Value: -6, 0, +6, +12

Wave Tempo Sync When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo), set this to ON. This is valid only when selected as the sample for a tone.

Value: OFF, ON

If a sample is selected for a tone, you must first set the BPM (tempo) parameter of the sample.

If a sample is selected for a tone, Wave Tempo Sync will require twice the normal number of voices.

When the Wave Tempo Sync parameter is set to ON, set the Delay Time parameter (p. 108) to 0. With other settings, a delay effect will be applied, and you will be not be able to play as you expect.

FXM Switch This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

FXM Color Specifies how FXM will perform frequency modulation. Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a more metallic sound.

Value: 14

FXM Depth Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.

Value: 016

You can use the force with which keys are played, or MIDI messages to control the way each Tone is played. This is referred to as the Tone Mix Table (TMT).

Structure Type 1 & 2, 3 & 4 Determines how tone 1 and 2, or tone 3 and 4 are connected.

Value: 110

The following 10 different Types of combination are available. fig.06-014

With this type, tones 1 and 2 (or 3 and 4) are independent. Use this type when you want to preserve PCM sounds or create and combine sounds for each tone. fig.06-015

This type stacks the two filters together to intensify the characteristics of the filters. The TVA for tone 1 (or 3) controls the volume balance between the two tones. fig.06-016

This type mixes the sound of tone 1 (3) and tone 2 (4), applies a filter, and then applies a booster to distort the waveform.

Phrase Loop Phrase loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase thats been pulled out of a song (e.g., by using a sampler). One technique involving the use of Phrase Loops is the excerpting of a Phrase from a pre-existing song in a certain genre, for example dance music, and then creating a new song with that Phrase used as the basic motif. This is referred to as Break Beats.

Realtime Time Stretch If the wave group is SAMP, and the Wave Tempo Sync parameter is turned ON, you can vary the playback speed of the waveform without affecting the pitch.

FXM FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified waveform to apply frequency modulation to the currently selected waveform, creating complex overtones. This is useful for creating dramatic sounds or sound effects.

fig.06-017

This type applies a booster to distort the waveform, and then combines the two filters. The TVA for tone 1 (or 3) controls the volume balance between the two tones and adjusts booster level. fig.06-018

This type uses a ring modulator to create new overtones, and combines the two filters. The tone 1 (3) TVA will control the volume balance of the two tones, adjusting the depth of ring modulator. fig.06-019

This type uses a ring modulator to create new overtones, and in addition mixes in the sound of tone 2 (4) and stacks the two filters. Since the ring-modulated sound can be mixed with tone 2 (4), tone 1 (3) TVA can adjust the amount of the ring-modulated sound. fig.06-020

This type applies a filter to tone 1 (3) and ring-modulates it with tone 2 (4) to create new overtones.

fig.06-021

This type sends the filtered tone 1 (3) and tone 2 (4) through a ring modulator, and then mixes in the sound of tone 2 (4) and applies a filter to the result. fig.06-022

This type passes the filtered sound of each tone through a ring modulator to create new overtones. The tone 1 (3) TVA will control the volume balance of the two tones, adjusting the depth of ring modulator. fig.06-023

This type passes the filtered sound of each tone through a ring modulator to create new overtones, and also mixes in the sound of tone 2 (4). Since the ring-modulated sound can be mixed with tone 2 (4), tone 1 (3) TVA can adjust the amount of the ring-modulated sound.

When TYPE 210 is selected and one tone of a pair is turned off, the other tone will be sounded as TYPE 1 regardless of the displayed setting.

If you limit the keyboard area in which a tone will sound (Keyboard Range p. 94) or limit the range of velocities for which it will sound (Velocity Range p. 95), the result in areas or ranges where the tone does not sound is just as if the tone had been turned off. This means that if TYPE 210 is selected and you create a keyboard area or velocity range in which one tone of a pair does not sound, notes played in that area or range will be sounded by the other tone as TYPE 1 regardless of the displayed setting.

Booster 1&2, 3&4 (Booster Gain 1&2, 3&4) When a Structure Type of TYPE 3 or TYPE 4 is selected, you can adjust the depth of the booster. The booster increases the input signal in order to distort the sound. This creates the distortion effect frequently used with electric guitars. Higher settings will produce more distortion.

Value: 0, +6, +12, +18

Keyboard Fade Width Lower This determines what will happen to the tones level when a note thats lower than the tones specified keyboard range is played. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you dont want the tone to sound at all when a note below the keyboard range is played, set this parameter to 0.

Value: 0127

Keyboard Range Lower Specifies the lowest note that the tone will sound for each tone.

Value: C-1UPPER

Keyboard Range Upper Specifies the highest note that the tone will sound for each tone.

Value: LOWERG9

If you attempt to raise the lower key higher than the upper key, or to lower the upper key below the lower key, the other value will be automatically modified to the same setting.

Booster The Booster is used to distort the incoming signal. fig.06-024.e

In addition to using this to create distortion, you can use the waveform (WG1) of one of the tones as an LFO which shifts the other waveform (WG2) upward or downward to create modulation similar to PWM (pulse width modulation). This parameter works best when you use it in conjunction with the Wave Gain parameter (p. 92). fig.06-025.e

Ring Modulator A ring modulator multiplies the waveforms of two tones with each other, generating many new overtones (in harmonic partials) which were not present in either waveform. (Unless one of the waveforms is a sine wave, evenly-spaced frequency components will not usually be generated.)

As the pitch difference between the two waveforms changes the harmonic structure, the result will be an unpitched metallic sound. This function is suitable for creating metallic sounds such as bells. fig.06-026

Keyboard Fade Width Upper This determines what will happen to the tones level when a note thats higher than the tones specified keyboard range is played. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you dont want the tone to sound at all when a note above the keyboard range is played, set this parameter to 0.

Value: 0127 fig.06-027.e

TMT Velocity Control (TMT Velocity Control Switch) TMT Velocity Control determines whether a different tone is played (ON) or not (OFF) depending on the force with which the key is played (velocity).

When set to RANDOM, the patchs constituent tones will sound randomly, regardless of any Velocity messages.

When set to CYCLE, the patchs constituent tones will sound consecutively, regardless of any Velocity messages.

Value: OFF, ON, RANDOM, CYCLE

Use Velocity Range Lower (p. 95) and Velocity Range

Upper (p. 95) to specify the range of keyboard dynamics.

If Velocity Range Lower and Velocity Range Upper are set to the same values, you wont be able to obtain any effect by setting TMT Velocity Control to RANDOM or CYCLE.

Instead of using Velocity, you can also have tones substituted using the Matrix Control (p. 109, p. 95). However, the keyboard velocity and the Matrix Control cannot be used simultaneously to make different tones to sound. When using the Matrix Control to switch tones, set the Velocity Control parameter to OFF.

Velocity Fade Width Lower This determines what will happen to the tones level when the tone is played at a velocity lower than its specified velocity range. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you want notes played outside the specified key velocity range to not be sounded at all, set this to 0.

Value: 0127

Velocity Range Lower This sets the lowest velocity at which the tone will sound. Make these settings when you want different tones to sound in response to notes played at different strengths.

Value: 1UPPER

Velocity Range Upper This sets the highest velocity at which the tone will sound. Make these settings when you want different tones to sound in response to notes played at different strengths.

Value: LOWER127

If you attempt to set the Lower velocity limit above the Upper, or the Upper below the Lower, the other value will automatically be adjusted to the same setting.

When using the Matrix Control (p. 109) to have different tones played, set the lowest value (Lower) and highest value (Upper) of the value of the MIDI message used.

Velocity Fade Width Upper This determines what will happen to the tones level when the tone is played at a velocity greater than its specified velocity range. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you want notes played outside the specified key velocity range to not be sounded at all, set this to 0.

Value: 0127 fig.06-028.e

TMT Control Switch Use the Matrix Control (p. 109) to enable (ON), or disable (OFF) sounding of different tones.

Value: OFF, ON

You can also cause different tones to sound in response to notes played at different strengths (velocity) on the keyboard (p. 95). However, the Matrix Control and the keyboard velocity cannot be used simultaneously to make different tones to sound. When you want to make the different tones to sound, set the Velocity Control parameter (p. 95) to OFF.

Pitch

Tone Coarse Tune Adjusts the pitch of the tones sound up or down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).

Value: -48 +48

Tone Fine Tune Adjusts the pitch of the tones sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/- 50 cents).

Value: -50 +50

One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.

Random Pitch Depth This specifies the width of random pitch deviation that will occur each time a key is pressed. If you do not want the pitch to change randomly, set this to 0. These values are in units of cents (1/100th of a semitone).

Value: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200

Wave Pitch Key Follow This specifies the amount of pitch change that will occur when you play a key one octave higher (i.e., 12 keys upward on the keyboard).

If you want the pitch to rise one octave as on a conventional keyboard, set this to +100. If you want the pitch to rise two octaves, set this to +200. Conversely, set this to a negative value if you want the pitch to fall. With a setting of 0, all keys will produce the same pitch.

Value: -200, -190, -180, -170, -160, -150, -140, -130, -120, -110, -100, -90, -80, -70, -60, -50, -40, -30, -20, -10, 0, +10, +20, +30, +40, +50, +60, +70, +80, +90, +100, +110, +120, +130, +140, +150, +160, +170, +180, +190, +200

fig.06-030.e

Pitch Bend Range Up Specifies the degree of pitch change in semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is all the way right. For example, if this parameter is set to 12, the pitch will rise one octave when the pitch bend lever is moved to the right-most position.

Value: 0 +48

Pitch Bend Range Down Specifies the degree of pitch change in semitones when the Pitch Bend lever is all the way left. For example if this is set to -48 and you move the pitch bend lever all the way to the left, the pitch will fall 4 octaves.

Value: -480

Pitch Env Velocity Sens Keyboard playing dynamics can be used to control the depth of the pitch envelope. If you want the pitch envelope to have more effect for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want the pitch envelope to have less effect for strongly played notes, set this to a negative (-) value.

Value: -63 +63

Pitch Env Time 1 Velocity Sens This allows keyboard dynamics to affect the Time 1 of the Pitch envelope. If you want Time 1 to be speeded up for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.

Pitch Env Time 4 Velocity Sens Use this parameter when you want key release speed to affect the Time 4 value of the pitch envelope. If you want Time 4 to be speeded up for quickly released notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.

Value: -63 +63

Pitch Env Time Key Follow Use this setting if you want the pitch envelope times (Time 2Time 4) to be affected by the keyboard location. Based on the pitch envelope times for the C4 key, positive (+) settings will cause notes higher than C4 to have increasingly shorter times, and negative (-) settings will cause them to have increasingly longer times. Larger settings will produce greater change.

Value: -100, -90, -80, -70, -60, -50, -40, -30, -20, -10, 0, +10, +20, +30, +40, +50, +60, +70, +80, +90, +100

Hold Bend This specifies whether pitch bend will be disabled (ON) or enabled (OFF) while its being held by the pedal and during the release portion of the sound.

Value: OFF, ON

Bend Mode Specifies what will happen when you operate the pitch bend lever.

Value

NORMAL: The pitch bend lever will apply in the conventional way.

TOUCH: Moving the pitch bend lever will change the pitch smoothly, but the pitch will instantly return to center if you return the lever even slightly.

CATCH: If you play a note-on with the pitch bend lever already moved, the pitch will sound at the center position. The pitch will change only after the lever has passed through the center position.

LAST: The pitch bend lever will apply only to the last- played note.

CATCH+LAST: The operation of CATCH and LAST will be combined.

Bend Mode Control This specifies the CC (control change) whose value is used to switch the pitch bend levers operation between the mode specified by Bend Mode (control values 64 or higher) and conventional operation (control values 63 or lower).

Value: CC0131, CC32(OFF), CC3395

Pitch Env (Pitch Envelope)

Pitch Env Depth Adjusts the effect of the Pitch Envelope. Higher settings will cause the pitch envelope to produce greater change. Negative (-) settings will invert the shape of the envelope.

Value: -12 +12

Pitch Env Time 14 Specify the pitch envelope times (Time 1Time 4). Higher settings will result in a longer time until the next pitch is reached. (For example, Time 2 is the time over which the pitch changes from Level 1 to Level 2.)

Value: 0127 fig.06-032.e

Pitch Env Level 04 Specify the pitch envelope levels (Level 0Level 4). It determines how much the pitch changes from the reference pitch (the value set with Coarse Tune or Fine Tune on the Pitch screen) at each point. Positive (+) settings will cause the pitch to be higher than the standard pitch, and negative (-) settings will cause it to be lower.

TVF Filter Type Selects the type of filter. A filter cuts or boosts a specific frequency region to change a sounds brightness, thickness, or other qualities.

Value

OFF: No filter is used.

LPF: Low Pass Filter. This reduces the volume of all frequencies above the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq) in order to round off, or un-brighten the sound. This is the most common filter used in synthesizers.

BPF: Band Pass Filter. This leaves only the frequencies in the region of the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq), and cuts the rest. This can be useful when creating distinctive sounds.

HPF: High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies in the region below the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq). This is suitable for creating percussive sounds emphasizing their higher tones.

PKG: Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the frequencies in the region of the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq). You can use this to create wah-wah effects by employing an LFO to change the cutoff frequency cyclically.

LPF2: Low Pass Filter 2. Although frequency components above the Cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq) are cut, the sensitivity of this filter is half that of the LPF. This makes it a comparatively warmer low pass filter. This filter is good for use with simulated instrument sounds such as the acoustic piano.

LPF3: Low Pass Filter 3. Although frequency components above the Cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq) are cut, the sensitivity of this filter changes according to the Cutoff frequency. While this filter is also good for use with simulated acoustic instrument sounds, the nuance it exhibits differs from that of the LPF2, even with the same TVF Envelope settings.

If you set LPF2 or LPF3, the setting for the Resonance parameter will be ignored (p. 98).

Cutoff Frequency Selects the frequency at which the filter begins to have an effect on the waveforms frequency components.

Value: 0127

With LPF/LPF2/LPF3 selected for the Filter Type parameter, lower cutoff frequency settings reduce a tones upper harmonics for a more rounded, warmer sound. Higher settings make it sound brighter.

If BPF is selected, harmonic components will change depending on the TVF Cutoff Frequency setting. This can be useful when creating distinctive sounds.

With HPF selected, higher Cutoff Frequency settings will reduce lower harmonics to emphasize just the brighter components of the sound.

With PKG selected, the harmonics to be emphasized will vary depending on Cutoff Frequency setting.

To edit the overall patch while preserving the relative differences in the Cutoff Frequency values set for each tone, set the Cutoff Offset parameter (p. 90).

Resonance Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively high settings can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort.

Value: 0127

To edit the overall patch while preserving the relative differences in the Resonance values set for each tone, set the Resonance Offset parameter (p. 91).

TVF Cutoff Key follow Use this parameter if you want the cutoff frequency to change according to the key that is pressed. Relative to the cutoff frequency at the C4 key (center C), positive (+) settings will cause the cutoff frequency to rise for notes higher than C4, and negative (-) settings will cause the cutoff frequency to fall for notes higher than C4. Larger settings will produce greater change.

Value: -200, -190, -180, -170, -160, -150, -140, -130, -120, -110, -100, -90, -80, -70, -60, -50, -40, -30, -20, -10, 0, +10, +20, +30, +40, +50, +60, +70, +80, +90, +100, +110, +120, +130, +140, +150, +160, +170, +180, +190, +200

Cutoff Velocity Curve Selects one of the following seven curves that determine how keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) influence the cutoff frequency. Set this to FIXED if you dont want the Cutoff frequency to be affected by the keyboard velocity.

Value: FIXED, 17 fig.06-036

Cutoff Velocity Sens Use this parameter when changing the cutoff frequency to be applied as a result of changes in playing velocity. If you want strongly played notes to raise the cutoff frequency, set this parameter to positive (+) settings. If you want strongly played notes to lower the cutoff frequency, use negative (-) settings.

Value: -63 +63

To edit the overall patch while preserving the relative differences in the Cutoff Frequency Velocity Sensitivity values set for each tone, set the Velocity Sens Offset parameter (p. 91). However, this setting is shared by the Level Velocity Sens parameter (p. 100).

Resonance Velocity Sens This allows keyboard velocity to modify the amount of Resonance. If you want strongly played notes to have a greater Resonance effect, set this parameter to positive (+) settings. If you want strongly played notes to have less Resonance, use negative (-) settings.

Value: -63 +63

TVF Env Velocity Curve Selects one of the following 7 curves that will determine how keyboard playing dynamics will affect the TVF envelope. Set this to FIXED if you dont want the TVF Envelope to be affected by the keyboard velocity.

Value: FIXED, 17 fig.06-036

TVF Env Velocity Sens Specifies how keyboard playing dynamics will affect the depth of the TVF envelope. Positive (+) settings will cause the TVF envelope to have a greater effect for strongly played notes, and negative (-) settings will cause the effect to be less.

Value: -63 +63

TVF Env Time 1 Velocity Sens This allows keyboard dynamics to affect the Time 1 of the TVF envelope. If you want Time 1 to be speeded up for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.

TVF ENV (TVF Envelope)

TVF Env Depth Specifies the depth of the TVF envelope. Higher settings will cause the TVF envelope to produce greater change. Negative (-) settings will invert the shape of the envelope.

Value: -63 +63

TVF Env Time Key Follow Use this setting if you want the TVF envelope times (Time 2Time 4) to be affected by the keyboard location. Based on the TVF envelope times for the C4 key (center C), positive (+) settings will cause notes higher than C4 to have increasingly shorter times, and negative (-) settings will cause them to have increasingly longer times.

TVF Env Time 14 Specify the TVF envelope times (Time 1Time 4). Higher settings will lengthen the time until the next cutoff frequency level is reached. (For example, Time 2 is the time over which Level 1 will change to Level 2.)

Value: 0127 fig.06-037.e

TVF Env Level 04 Specify the TVF envelope levels (Level 0Level 4). These settings specify how the cutoff frequency will change at each point, relative to the standard cutoff frequency (the cutoff frequency value specified in the TVF screen).

Value: 0127

TVA

Tone Level Sets the volume of the tone. This setting is useful primarily for adjusting the volume balance between tones.

Value: 0127

Level Velocity Curve (TVA Level Velocity Curve) You can select from seven curves that determine how keyboard playing strength will affect the volume. If you do not want the volume of the tone to be affected by the force with which you play the key, set this to FIXED.

Value: FIXED, 17 fig.06-036

Level Velocity Sens (TVA Level Velocity Sensitivity) Set this when you want the volume of the tone to change depending on the force with which you press the keys. Set this to a positive (+) value to have the changes in tone volume increase the more forcefully the keys are played; to make the tone play more softly as you play harder, set this to a negative (-) value.

Value: -63 +63

If you wish to make adjustments to the entire patch while maintaining the relative values of TVA Level Velocity Sensitivity among tones, adjust the Velocity Sens Offset parameter (p. 91). However, this setting is shared by the Cutoff Velocity Sens parameter (p. 99).

Bias Bias causes the volume to be affected by the keyboard position. This is useful for changing volume through keyboard position (pitch) when playing acoustic instruments. fig.06-039.e

Bias Level Adjusts the angle of the volume change that will occur in the selected Bias Direction. Larger settings will produce greater change. Negative (-) values will invert the change direction.

Value: -100, -90, -80, -70, -60, -50, -40, -30, -20, -10, 0, +10, +20, +30, +40, +50, +60, +70, +80, +90, +100

Bias Position Specifies the key relative to which the volume will be modified.

Value: C-1G9

Bias Direction Selects the direction in which change will occur starting from the Bias Position.

Value

LOWER: The volume will be modified for the keyboard area below the Bias Point.

UPPER: The volume will be modified for the keyboard area above the Bias Point.

LO&UP: The volume will be modified symmetrically toward the left and right of the Bias Point.

ALL: The volume changes linearly with the bias point at the center.

Tone Pan Sets the pan of the tone. L64 is far left, 0 is center, and 63R is far right.

Value: L64063R

Tone Pan Key Follow Use this parameter if you want key position to affect panning. Positive (+) settings will cause notes higher than C4 key (center C) to be panned increasingly further toward the right, and negative (-) settings will cause notes higher than C4 key (center C) to be panned toward the left. Larger settings will produce greater change.

Value: -100 +100 fig.06-040.e

Random Pan Depth Use this parameter when you want the stereo location to change randomly each time you press a key. Higher settings will produce a greater amount of change.

Value: 063

Alternate Pan Depth This setting causes panning to be alternated between left and right each time a key is pressed. Higher settings will produce a greater amount of change. L or R settings will reverse the order in which the pan will alternate between left and right. For example if two tones are set to L and R respectively, the panning of the two tones will alternate each time they are played.

Value: L63063R

When any value from Type 210 is selected for the Structure parameter in the Pan Key Follow, Rnd Pan Depth, Alter Pan Depth parameter settings, the output of tones 1 and 2 are joined in tone 2, and the output of tones 3 and 4 are joined in tone 4. For this reason, tone 1 will follow the settings of tone 2, and tone 3 will follow the settings of tone 4 (p. 92).

TVA Env (TVA Envelope)

TVA Env Time 1 Velocity Sens This allows keyboard dynamics to affect the Time 1 of the TVA envelope. If you want Time 1 to be speeded up for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.

TVA Env Time 4 Velocity Sens The parameter to use when you want key release speed to control the Time 4 value of the TVA envelope. If you want Time 4 to be speeded up for quickly released notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.

Value: -63 +63

TVA Env Time Key Follow Use this setting if you want the TVA envelope times (Time 2Time 4) to be affected by the keyboard location. Based on the TVA envelope times for the C4 key (center C), positive (+) settings will cause notes higher than C4 to have increasingly shorter times, and negative (-) settings will cause them to have increasingly longer times. Larger settings will produce greater change.

Value: -100, -90, -80, -70, -60, -50, -40, -30, -20, -10, 0, +10, +20, +30, +40, +50, +60, +70, +80, +90, +100

fig.06-031.e

TVA Env Time 14 Specify the TVA envelope times (Time 1 Time 4). Higher settings will lengthen the time until the next volume level is reached. (For example, Time 2 is the time over which Level 1 will change to Level 2.)

Value: 0127

TVA Env Level 13 Specify the TVA envelope levels (Level 1Level 3). These settings specify how the volume will change at each point, relative to the standard volume (the Tone Level value specified in the TVA screen).

Value: 0127 fig.06-041.e

Tone Output Assign Specifies how the direct sound of each tone will be output.

Value:

PFX: Output through patch multi-effects. DRY: Output without passing through patch multi-effects.

Tone Output Level Specifies the signal level of each tone.

Value: 0127

Tone Chorus Send Level Specifies the level of the signal sent to the chorus for each tone.

Value: 0127

Tone Reverb Send Level Specifies the level of the signal sent to the reverb for each tone.

Value: 0127

An LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) causes change over a cycle in a sound. Each tone has two LFOs (LFO1/LFO2), and these can be used to cyclically change the pitch, cutoff frequency and volume to create modulation-type effects such as vibrato, wah and tremolo. Both LFOs have the same parameters so only one explanation is needed.

LFO1/2 Waveform (LFO1/LFO2 Waveform) Selects the waveform of the LFO.

Value

SIN: Sine wave

TRI: Triangle wave

SAW-U: Sawtooth wave

SAW-D: Sawtooth wave (negative polarity)

SQR: Square wave

RND: Random wave

BND-U: Once the attack of the waveform output by the LFO is allowed to develop in standard fashion, the waveform then continues without further change.

BND-D: Once the decay of the waveform output by the LFO is allowed to develop in standard fashion, the waveform then continues without further change.

TRP: Trapezoidal wave

S&H: Sample & Hold wave (one time per cycle, LFO value is changed)

CHAOS: Chaos wave

VSIN: Modified sine wave. The amplitude of a sine wave is randomly varied once each cycle.

STEP: A waveform generated by the data specified by LFO Step 164. This produces stepped change with a fixed pattern similar to a step modulator.

If you set this to BND-U or BND-D, you must turn the Key Trigger parameter to ON. If this is OFF, it will have no effect.

Rate (LFO1/LFO2 Rate) Adjusts the modulation rate, or speed, of the LFO.

Value: 0127, Note

LFO Rate sets the beat length for the synchronized tempo is synchronized with the tempo set in a sequencer.

(Example)

For a tempo of 120 (120 quarter notes occur in 1 minute (60 seconds))

This setting will be ignored if the Waveform parameter is set to CHAOS.

Rate Detune (LFO1/LFO2 Rate Detune) LFO Rate Detune makes subtle changes in the LFO cycle rate (Rate parameter) each time a key is pressed. Higher settings will cause greater change. This parameter is invalid when Rate is set to note.

Value: 0127

Offset (LFO1/LFO2 Offset) Raises or lowers the LFO waveform relative to the central value (pitch or cutoff frequency). Positive (+) settings will move the waveform so that modulation will occur from the central value upward. Negative (-) settings will move the waveform so that modulation will occur from the central value downward.

Value: -100, -50, 0, +50, +100

Delay Time (LFO1/LFO2 Delay Time) Delay Time (LFO Delay Time) specifies the time elapsed before the LFO effect is applied (the effect continues) after the key is pressed (or released).

Value: 0127

After referring to How to Apply the LFO (p. 104), change the setting until the desired effect is achieved.

When using violin, wind, or certain other instrument sounds in a performance, rather than having vibrato added immediately after the sounds are played, it can be effective to add the vibrato after the note is drawn out somewhat. If you set the Delay Time in conjunction with the Pitch Depth parameter and Rate parameter, the vibrato will be applied automatically following a certain interval after the key is pressed. This effect is called Delay Vibrato.

LFO1/LFO2 Delay Time Key Follow Adjusts the value for the Delay Time parameter depending on the key position, relative to the C4 key (center C). To decrease the time that elapses before the LFO effect is applied (the effect is continuous) with each higher key that is pressed in the upper registers, select a positive value; to increase the elapsed time, select a negative value. Larger settings will produce greater change. If you do not want the elapsed time before the LFO effect is applied (the effect is continuous) to change according to the key pressed, set this to 0.

Value: -100, -90, -80, -70, -60, -50, -40, -30, -20, -10, 0, +10, +20, +30, +40, +50, +60, +70, +80, +90, +100

Value: ON <, ON >, OFF <, OFF >

After referring to How to Apply the LFO (p. 104), change the setting until the desired effect is achieved.

Fade Time (LFO1/LFO2 Fade Time) Specifies the time over which the LFO amplitude will reach the maximum (minimum).

Value: 0127

After referring to How to Apply the LFO (p. 104), change the setting until the desired effect is achieved.

Key Trigger (LFO1/LFO2 Key Trigger) This specifies whether the LFO cycle will be synchronized to begin when the key is pressed (ON) or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

Pitch Depth (LFO1/LFO2 Pitch Depth) Specifies how deeply the LFO will affect pitch.

Value: -63 +63

TVF Depth (LFO1/LFO2 TVF Depth) Specifies how deeply the LFO will affect the cutoff frequency.

Value: -63 +63

TVA Depth (LFO1/LFO2 TVA Depth) Specifies how deeply the LFO will affect the volume.

Value: -63 +63

Pan Depth (LFO1/LFO2 Pan Depth) Specifies how deeply the LFO will affect the pan.

Value: -63 +63

Positive (+) and negative (-) settings for the Depth parameter result in differing kinds of change in pitch and volume. For example, if you set the Depth parameter to a positive (+) value for one tone, and set another tone to the same numerical value, but make it negative (-), the modulation phase for the two tones will be the reverse of each other. This allows you to shift back and forth between two different tones, or combine it with the Pan setting to cyclically change the location of the sound image.

When the Structure parameter is set to any value from 2 through 10, the output of tones 1 and 2 will be combined into tone 2, and the output of tones 3 and 4 will be combined into tone 4. This applies to the Pan Depth parameter settings. For this reason, tone 1 will follow the settings of tone 2, and tone 3 will follow the settings of tone 4 (p. 92).

Step LFO

LFO Step Type When generating an LFO waveform from the data specified in LFO Step164, specify whether the level will change abruptly at each step or will be connected linearly.

Value: TYPE1 (stair-step change), TYPE2 (linear change)

Step 164 (LFO Step 164) Specifies the data for the Step LFO. If the LFO Pitch Depth is +63, each +1 unit of the step data corresponds to a pitch of +50 cents.

Value: -36 +36

LFO End Step Specifies the number of LFO steps.

Value: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64

Mono/Poly Specifies whether the patch will play polyphonically (POLY) or monophonically (MONO). The MONO setting is effective when playing a solo instrument patch such as sax or flute.

Value

MONO: Only the last-played note will sound.

POLY: Two or more notes can be played simultaneously.

Legato Switch Legato Switch is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter is set to MONO. This setting specifies whether the Legato Switch will be used (LEGATO) or not (OFF).

With the Legato Switch parameter LEGATO, pressing a key while continuing to press a previous key causes the note to change pitch to the pitch of the most recently pressed key, sounding all the while. This creates a smooth transition between notes, which is effective when you wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off techniques used by a guitarist.

If you choose SUSTAIN, the legato effect is applied while you hold down the hold pedal.

Value: OFF, LEGATO, SUSTAIN, LEGATO+SUSTAIN

Legato Retrigger (Legato Retrigger Switch) Legato Retrigger is available if the Mono/Poly parameter is set to MONO and the Legato Switch parameter has a setting other than OFF. The setting determines whether sounds are replayed (ON) or not (OFF) when performing legato. Normally you will leave this parameter ON. If this is turned OFF, pressing a second key while still holding down the first key will cause only the pitch to change; there will be no attack sound for the second key you pressed. Set this to OFF when performing wind and string phrases or when using modulation with the mono synth keyboard sound.

If this is set to AUTO, retriggering will occur only if you play a key that is one octave or farther away.

Value: OFF, ON, AUTO

Apply Portamento or Legato to the Sound (Solo/Porta)

Lets say you have the Legato Switch set to LEGATO, and the Legato Retrigger set to OFF. When you try to sound a legato (by pressing a higher key while a lower key is held down), the pitch may sometimes not be able to rise all the way to the intended pitch (stopping instead at an intermediate pitch). This can occur because the limit of pitch rise, as determined at the wave level, has been exceeded. Additionally, if differing upper pitch limits are used for the waves of a Patch that uses multiple tones, it may stop being heard in MONO. When making large pitch changes, set the Legato Retrigger to ON.

Portamento Switch Specifies whether the portamento effect will be applied (ON) or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

Portamento Mode Specifies the performance conditions for which portamento will be applied.

Value

NORMAL: Portamento will always be applied. LEGATO: Portamento will be applied only when you play

legato (i.e., when you press the next key before releasing the previous key).

Portamento Type Specifies the type of portamento effect.

Value

RATE: The time it takes will depend on the distance between the two pitches.

TIME: The time it takes will be constant, regardless of how far apart in pitch the notes are.

Portamento Start When another key is pressed during a pitch change produced by portamento, a new pitch change will begin. This setting specifies the pitch at which the change will begin.

Value

PITCH: Starts a new portamento when another key is pressed while the pitch is changing.

fig.06-048.e

NOTE: Portamento will begin a new from the pitch where the current change would end.

fig.06-049.e

Portamento Time When portamento is used, this specifies the time over which the pitch will change. Higher settings will cause the pitch change to the next note to take more time.

Value: 0127

Portamento Portamento is an effect which smoothly changes the pitch from the first-played key to the next-played key. By applying portamento when the Mono/Poly parameter is MONO, you can simulate slide performance techniques on a violin or similar instrument.

Tone Delay Mode Selects the type of tone delay.

Value

NORM: The tone begins to play after the time specified in the Delay Time parameter has elapsed.

fig.06-051.e

HOLD: Although the tone begins to play after the time specified in the Delay Time parameter has elapsed, if the key is released before the time specified in the Delay Time parameter has elapsed, the tone is not played.

fig.06-052.e

OFF-N: Rather than being played while the key is pressed, the tone begins to play once the period of time specified in the Delay Time parameter has elapsed after release of the key. This is effective in situations such as when simulating noises from guitars and other instruments.

fig.06-053.e

OFF-D: Rather than being played while the key is pressed, the tone begins to play once the period of time specified in the Delay Time parameter has elapsed after release of the key. Here, however, changes in the TVA Envelope begin while the key is pressed, which in many cases means that only the sound from the release portion of the envelope is heard.

fig.06-054.e

If you have selected a waveform that is a decay-type sound (i.e., a sound that fades away naturally even if the key is not released), selecting OFF-N or OFF-D may result in no sound being heard.

Tone Delay This produces a time delay between the moment a key is pressed (or released), and the moment the tone actually begins to sound. You can also make settings that shift the timing at which each tone is sounded. This differs from the Delay in the internal effects, in that by changing the sound qualities of the delayed tones and changing the pitch for each tone, you can also perform arpeggio-like passages just by pressing one key.

You can also synchronize the tone delay time to the tempo of the sequencer.

If you are not going to use Tone Delay, set the Delay Mode parameter to NORM and Delay Time parameter to 0.

If the Structure parameters set in the range of 210, the output of tones 1 and 2 will be combined into tone 2, and the output of tones 3 and 4 will be combined into tone 4. For this reason, tone 1 will follow the settings of tone 2, and tone 3 will follow the settings of tone 4 (p. 92).

Fantom-G_r_e.book 108

Tone Delay Time Specifies the time from when the key is pressed (or if the Delay Mode parameter is set to OFF-N or OFF-D, the time from when the key is released) until when the tone will sound.

Value: 0127, Note

Tone Delay Time specifies the beat length for the synchronized tempo when the tempo that specifies the elapsed time until the tone is sounded (Patch Tempo) is synchronized with the tempo set in a sequencer.

(Example)

For a tempo of 120 (120 quarter notes occur in 1 minute (60 seconds))

Tone Env Mode When a loop waveform (p. 88) is selected, the sound will normally continue as long as the key is pressed. If you want the sound to decay naturally even if the key remains pressed, set this to NO SUS.

Range: NO SUS, SUST

If a one-shot type Wave (p. 88) is selected, it will not sustain even if this parameter is set to SUST.

Tone Receive Bender (Tone Receive Pitch Bend Switch) For each tone, specify whether MIDI Pitch Bend messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

Tone Receive Expression (Tone Receive Expression Switch) For each tone, specify whether MIDI Expression messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

Tone Receive Hold-1 (Tone Receive Hold Switch) For each tone, specify whether MIDI Hold-1 messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

If NO SUS is selected for Env Mode parameter, this setting will have no effect.

Tone Receive Pan Mode For each tone, specify how pan messages will be received.

Value

CONT: Whenever Pan messages are received, the stereo position of the tone will be changed.

K-ON: The pan of the tone will be changed only when the next note is played. If a pan message is received while a note is sounding, the panning will not change until the next key is pressed.

If PFX (Patch Multi-Effects) (p. 157) is on, the Tone Rx Pan Mode setting is ignored.

The channels cannot be set so as not to receive Pan messages.

Tone Redamper Switch You can specify, on an individual tone basis, whether or not the sound will be held when a Hold 1 message is received after a key is released, but before the sound has decayed to silence. If you want to sustain the sound, set this ON. When using this function, also set the Tone Receive Hold-1 parameter ON. This function is effective for piano sounds.

Value: OFF, ON

PITCH ENV: Pitch envelope

TVF ENV: TVF envelope

TVA ENV: TVA envelope

Velocity and Key follow correspond to Note messages.

Although there are no MIDI messages for LFO 1 through TVA Envelope, they can be used as Matrix Control. In this case, you can change the tone settings in realtime by playing patches.

If you want to use common controllers for the entire Fantom-G, select SYS CTRL1SYS CTRL4. MIDI messages used as System Control 14 are set with the System Ctrl 14 Source parameters (p. 297).

There are parameters that determine whether or not Pitch Bend, Controller Number 11 (Expression) and Controller Number 64 (Hold 1) are received (p. 108). When these settings are ON, and the MIDI messages are received, then when any change is made in the settings of the desired parameter, the Pitch Bend, Expression, and Hold 1 settings also change simultaneously. If you want to change the targeted parameters only, then set these to OFF.

The value of CC#67 (soft) is applied at the moment the note begins; any changes that occur during the note will not affect the parameters.

Control Destination 14 (Matrix Control Destination 14) Matrix Control Destination selects the tone parameter that is to be controlled when using the Matrix Control. The following parameters can be controlled. When not controlling parameters with the Matrix Control, set this to OFF. Up to four parameters can be specified for each Matrix Control, and controlled simultaneously.

In this manual, Parameters that can be controlled using the Matrix Control are marked with a .

Opening and Closing the Filter CUTOFF: Changes the cutoff frequency.

RESONANCE: Emphasizes the overtones in the region of the cutoff frequency, adding character to the sound.

Changing the Volume, Pan, and Pitch LEVEL: Changes the volume level.

PAN: Changes the pan.

PITCH: Changes the pitch.

Matrix Control Settings (Control 14)

Matrix Control Ordinarily, if you wanted to change tone parameters using an external MIDI device, you would need to send System Exclusive messagesMIDI messages designed exclusively for the Fantom-G. However, System Exclusive messages tend to be complicated, and the amount of data that needs to be transmitted can get quite large.

For that reason, a number of the more typical of the Fantom-Gs tone parameters have been designed so they accept the use of Control Change (or other) MIDI messages for the purpose of making changes in their values. This provides you with a variety of means of changing the way patches are played. You can change the sound of a patch in various ways, for example by using the pitch bend lever to change the speed of the LFO, or using your keyboard playing dynamics to open or close a filter.

The function which allows you use MIDI messages to make these changes in realtime to the tone parameters is called the Matrix Control. Up to four Matrix Controls can be used in a single patch.

To use the Matrix Control, specify which MIDI message (Source parameter) will be used to control which parameter (Destination parameter), and how greatly (Sns parameter), and the tone to which the effect is applied (Tone parameter).

Splitting Tones That Are Played TMT

If the Matrix Control is used to split tones, set the TMT Velocity Control parameter to OFF, and the TMT Control Switch parameter to ON (p. 95).

If the Matrix Control is used to split tones, we recommend setting the Control Sens to +63. Selecting a lower value may prevent switching of the tones. Furthermore, if you want to reverse the effect, set the value to -63.

If you want to use matrix control to switch smoothly between tones, use the Velocity Fade Width Lower and Velocity Fade Width Upper parameters (p. 95). The higher the values set, the smoother the switch is between the tones.

Changing the Depth of Frequency Modulation for FXM FXM DEPTH

Changing Specific PFX Parameters PFX 14: Change the parameter that was specified by

PFX Control (p. 157) parameter.

If you have not made the necessary settings for using the PFX, the PFX will not be applied even if you attempt to control it as a Matrix Control destination.

If youre not using Matrix Control OFF: Matrix Control will not be used.

Creating a Rhythm Set

With the Fantom-G, you have total control over a wide variety of settings. Each item that can be set is known as a parameter. When you change the values of parameters, you are doing what is referred to as Editing. This chapter explains the procedures used in creating rhythm sets, and the functions of the rhythm set parameters.

Start with an existing rhythm set and edit it to create a new rhythm set. Rhythm sets are created from a collection of multiple rhythm tones (percussion instruments). You can change the assignments of the rhythm tones for each key with rhythm set edit.

The rhythm tone assigned to each key consists of up to four waves. Rhythm tones and waves are related in the same way that patches and tones are related.

The Patch Zoom Edit screen allows you to edit the most important parameters of a patch. If you want to have access to all of the parameters, use the Patch Pro Edit screen (p. 114).

1. Select the rhythm set whose settings you want to edit (p. 52).

Creating a Rhythm Set

Fantom-G_r_e.book 116

The sounds of the Fantom-G are based on complex PCM waveforms, and if you attempt to make settings that are contrary to the type of the original waveform, the results will not be as you expect.

The internal waveforms of the Fantom-G fall into the following two groups.

One-shot: These waveforms contain sounds that have short decays. A one-shot waveform records the initial rise and fall of the sound. Some of the Fantom-Gs one- shot waveforms are sounds that are complete in themselves, such as percussive instrument sounds. The Fantom-G also contains many other one-shot waveforms that are elements of other sounds. These include attack components such as piano-hammer sounds and guitar fret noises.

Looped: These waveforms include sounds with long decays as well as sustained sounds. Loop waveforms repeatedly play back (loop) the portion of the waveform after the sound has reached a relatively steady state. The Fantom-Gs looped waveforms also include components of other sounds, such as piano- string resonant vibrations and the hollow sounds of brass instruments.

Cautions When Using a One-shot Waveform It is not possible to use the envelope to modify a one-shot waveform to create a decay that is longer than the original waveform, or to turn it into a sustaining sound. If you were to program such an envelope, you would be attempting to shape a portion of the sound that simply doesnt exist, and the envelope would have no effect.

Cautions When Using a Loop Waveform With many acoustic instruments such as piano and sax, extreme timbral changes occur during the first few moments of each note. This initial attack is what defines much of the instruments character. For such waveforms, it is best to use the complex tonal changes of the attack portion of the waveform just as they are, and to use the envelope only to modify the decay portion. If you attempt to use the envelope to modify the attack portion as well, the characteristics of the original waveform may prevent you from getting the sound that you intend.

The settings you edit are temporary, and will be lost if you turn off the power, switch the sound generator mode, or select a different sound. If you want to keep the modified sound, you must save it in the user bank.

When you edit the rhythm set settings, the symbol will appear in the Single Play screen. When you save the rhythm set, the symbol will disappear.

When you perform the save procedure, the data that previously occupied the save destination will be lost.

1. Make sure that the Rhythm Set you wish to save is selected.

2. Press [WRITE].

The WRITE MENU window appears.

3. Select Patch / Rhythm / Sample Set.

For details on assigning names, refer to Assigning a Name (p. 42)

Assign Type Assign Type sets the way sounds are played when the same key is pressed a number of times.

Value

MULTI: Layer the sound of the same keys. Even with continuous sounds where the sound plays for an extended time, such as with crash cymbals, the sounds are layered, without previously played sounds being eliminated.

SINGLE: Only one sound can be played at a time when the same key is pressed. With continuous sounds where the sound plays for an extended time, the previous sound is stopped when the following sound is played.

Mute Group On an actual acoustic drum set, an open hi-hat and a closed hi-hat sound can never occur simultaneously. To reproduce the reality of this situation, you can set up a Mute Group.

The Mute Group function allows you to designate two or more rhythm tones that are not allowed to sound simultaneously. Up to 31 Mute Groups can be used. rhythm tones that are not belong to any such group should be set to OFF.

Value: OFF, 131

Tone Env Mode (Rhythm Tone Envelope Mode) When a loop waveform (p. 116) is selected, the sound will normally continue as long as the key is pressed. If you want the sound to decay naturally even if the key remains pressed, set this to NO-SUS.

Value: NO-SUS, SUSTTAIN

If a one-shot type Wave (p. 116) is selected, it will not sustain even if this parameter is set to SUSTTAIN.

Tone Pitch Bend Range (Rhythm Tone Pitch Bend Range) Specifies the amount of pitch change in semitones (4 octaves) that will occur when the Pitch Bend Lever is moved. The amount of change when the lever is tilted is set to the same value for both left and right sides.

Value: 048

Tone Receive Expression (Rhythm Tone Receive Expression Switch) For each rhythm tone, specify whether MIDI Expression messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

Tone Receive Hold-1 (Rhythm Tone Receive Hold-1 Switch) For each rhythm tone, specify whether MIDI Hold-1 messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

If NO-SUS is selected for Env Mode parameter (p. 118), this setting will have no effect.

Tone Receive Pan Mode (Rhythm Tone Receive Pan Mode) For each rhythm tone, specify how pan messages will be received.

Value

CONTINUOUS:Whenever Pan messages are received, the stereo position of the tone will be changed.

KEY-ON: The pan of the tone will be changed only when the next note is played. If a pan message is received while a note is sounding, the panning will not change until the next key is pressed.

If PFX (Patch Multi-Effects) (p. 157) is on, the Tone Receive Pan Mode setting is ignored.

The channels cannot be set so as not to receive Pan messages.

One Shot Mode The sound will play back until the end of the waveform (or the end of the envelope, whichever comes first). The result will be the same as when the envelopes Tone Env Mode parameter (p. 118) is set to NO-SUS. If you have set Wave Group (p. 119) to Sample, the loop setting will be forced to ONE SHOT.

Value: OFF, ON

With rhythm tones, sounds are created by combining up to four Waves (eight for stereo).

Wave Group Select the groups containing the Waves comprising the rhythm tone.

Value

INT: Waveforms stored in internal

SAMP: Sample waveforms

Wave Number L (Mono) Wave Number R This selects the Waves comprising the rhythm tone. Along with the Wave number, the Wave name appears at the lower part of the display.

When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specified. When in stereo, the right side (R) is also specified.

Value: OFF, 1 (The upper limit will depend on the wave group.)

If you want to select a left/right pair of Waves, select the left (L) Wave number and then press [F3 (Set Stereo)]; the right (R) (Wave) will be recalled.

* When using a sample in stereo, you must specify the same number for

L and R.

Wave Gain Sets the gain (amplification) of the waveform. The value changes in 6 dB (decibel) stepsan increase of 6 dB doubles the waveforms gain.

Value: -6, 0, +6, +12

Wave Tempo Sync When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo), set this to ON. This is valid only when selected as the sample for a wave.

Value: OFF, ON

If a sample is selected for a tone, you must first set the BPM (tempo) parameter of the sample.

If a sample is selected for a tone, Wave Tempo Sync will require twice the normal number of voices.

Wave FXM Switch This sets whether FXM will be used (ON) or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

Modifying Waveforms (Wave)

Tips on Creating a Rhythm Tone The Waves for the bass drum, snare, hi-hat, toms, and other percussion instruments are each assigned to one rhythm tone. When adding 3D effects to the sound, make the Pan settings for each rhythm tone individually.

Phrase Loop Phrase loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase thats been pulled out of a song (e.g., by using a sampler). One technique involving the use of Phrase Loops is the excerpting of a Phrase from a pre-existing song in a certain genre, for example dance music, and then creating a new song with that Phrase used as the basic motif. This is referred to as Break Beats.

Realtime Time Stretch If the wave group is SAMP, and the Wave Tempo Sync parameter is turned ON, you can vary the playback speed of the waveform without affecting the pitch.

119

Creating a Rhythm Set

Fantom-G_r_e.book 120

Wave FXM Color Specifies how FXM will perform frequency modulation. Higher settings result in a grainier sound, while lower settings result in a more metallic sound.

Value: 14

Wave FXM Depth Specifies the depth of the modulation produced by FXM.

Value: 016

When the Tempo Sync parameter is set to ON, settings related to Pitch (p. 121) and FXM (p. 120) are disabled.

The WMT (Wave Mix Table) uses key velocity to control the four waveforms assigned to the rhythm tone.

Wave Coarse Tune Adjusts the pitch of the waveforms sound up or down in semitone steps (+/-4 octaves).

Value: -48 +48

The Coarse Tune of the entire rhythm tone is set by the Tone Coarse parameter (p. 121).

Wave Fine Tune Adjusts the pitch of the waveforms sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).

Value: -50 +50

One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.

The Fine Tune of the entire rhythm tone is set by the Tone Fine Tune parameter (p. 121).

Wave Level You can set the volume of the waveform.

Value: 0127

The volume level of each rhythm tone is set with the Tone Level parameter; the volume levels of the entire rhythm set is set with the Rhythm Level parameter (p. 117).

Wave Pan This specifies the pan of the waveform. L64 is far left, 0 is center, and 63R is far right.

Value: L63063R

Wave Random Pan Switch Use this setting to cause the waveforms panning to change randomly each time a key is pressed (ON) or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

* The range of the panning change is set by the Rnd Pan Depth

parameter (p. 124).

Wave Alternate Pan Switch This setting causes panning of the waveform to be alternated between left and right each time a key is pressed. Set Alternate Pan Switch to ON to pan the Wave according to the Alter Pan Depth parameter (p. 125) settings, or to REV when you want the panning reversed. If you do not want the panning to change each time a key is pressed, set this to OFF.

Range: OFF, ON, REV

WMT Velocity Control (WMT Velocity Control Switch) WMT Velocity Control determines whether a different rhythm tone is played (ON) or not (OFF) depending on the force with which the key is played (velocity).

When set to RND, the rhythm sets constituent rhythm tones will sound randomly, regardless of any Velocity messages.

Value: OFF, ON, RANDOM

Velocity Fade Width Lower This determines what will happen to the tones level when the tone is played at a velocity lower than its specified velocity range. Higher settings produce a more gradual change in volume. If you want notes played outside the specified key velocity range to not be sounded at all, set this to 0.

Value: 0127

Velocity Range Lower This sets the lowest velocity at which the waveform will sound. Make these settings when you want different waveforms to sound in response to notes played at different strengths.

Value: 1UPPER

Velocity Range Upper This sets the highest velocity at which the waveform will sound. Make these settings when you want different waveforms to sound in response to notes played at different strengths.

Value: LOWER127

If you attempt to set the Lower velocity limit above the Upper, or the Upper below the Lower, the other value will automatically be adjusted to the same setting.

Changing How a Rhythm Tone Is Sounded (WMT)

FXM FXM (Frequency Cross Modulation) uses a specified waveform to apply frequency modulation to the currently selected waveform, creating complex overtones. This is useful for creating dramatic sounds or sound effects.

Pitch

Tone Coarse Tune (Rhythm Tone Coarse Tune) Selects the pitch at which a rhythm tone sounds.

Value: C-1 G9

Set the coarse tuning for Waves comprising the rhythm tones with the Wave Coarse Tune parameter (p. 120).

Tone Fine Tune (Rhythm Tone Fine Tune) Adjusts the pitch of the rhythm tones sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).

Value: -50 +50

One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.

Set the fine tuning for Waves comprising the rhythm tones with the Wave Fine Tune parameter (p. 120).

Tone Random Pitch Depth This specifies the width of random pitch deviation that will occur each time a key is pressed. If you do not want the pitch to change randomly, set this to 0. These values are in units of cents (1/100th of a semitone).

Value: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100, 1200

Pitch Env (Pitch Envelope)

Pitch Env Depth Adjusts the effect of the Pitch Envelope. Higher settings will cause the pitch envelope to produce greater change. Negative (-) settings will invert the shape of the envelope.

Value: -12 +12

Pitch Env Velocity Sens Keyboard playing dynamics can be used to control the depth of the pitch envelope. If you want the pitch envelope to have more effect for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want the pitch envelope to have less effect for strongly played notes, set this to a negative (-) value.

Value: -63 +63

Pitch Env Time 1 Velocity Sens This allows keyboard dynamics to affect the Time 1 of the Pitch envelope. If you want Time 1 to be speeded up for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.

Value: -63 +63

Pitch Env Time 4 Velocity Sens Use this parameter when you want key release speed to affect the Time 4 value of the pitch envelope. If you want Time 4 to be speeded up for quickly released notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.

Value: -63 +63

Pitch Env Time 14 Specify the pitch envelope times (Time 1Time 4). Higher settings will result in a longer time until the next pitch is reached. (For example, Time 2 is the time over which the pitch changes from Level 1 to Level 2.)

TVF Filter Type Selects the type of filter. A filter cuts or boosts a specific frequency region to change a sounds brightness, thickness, or other qualities.

Value

OFF: No filter is used.

LPF: Low Pass Filter. This reduces the volume of all frequencies above the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq) in order to round off, or un-brighten the sound. This is the most common filter used in synthesizers.

BPF: Band Pass Filter. This leaves only the frequencies in the region of the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Frequency), and cuts the rest. This can be useful when creating distinctive sounds.

HPF: High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies in the region below the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Frequency). This is suitable for creating percussive sounds emphasizing their higher ones.

PKG: Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the frequencies in the region of the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Frequency). You can use this to create wah-wah effects by employing an LFO to change the cutoff frequency cyclically.

LPF2: Low Pass Filter 2. Although frequency components above the Cutoff frequency (Cutoff Frequency) are cut, the sensitivity of this filter is half that of the LPF. This makes it a comparatively warmer low pass filter. This filter is good for use with simulated instrument sounds such as the acoustic piano.

LPF3: Low Pass Filter 3. Although frequency components above the Cutoff frequency (Cutoff Frequency) are cut, the sensitivity of this filter changes according to the Cutoff frequency. While this filter is also good for use with simulated acoustic instrument sounds, the nuance it exhibits differs from that of the LPF2, even with the same TVF Envelope settings.

If you set LPF2 or LPF3, the setting for the Resonance parameter will be ignored.

Cutoff Frequency Selects the frequency at which the filter begins to have an effect on the waveforms frequency components.

Value: 0127

With LPF/LPF2/LPF3 selected for the Filter Type parameter, lower cutoff frequency settings reduce a tones upper harmonics for a more rounded, warmer sound. Higher settings make it sound brighter.

If BPF is selected, harmonic components will change depending on the TVF Cutoff Frequency setting. This can be useful when creating distinctive sounds.

With HPF selected, higher Cutoff Frequency settings will reduce lower harmonics to emphasize just the brighter components of the sound.

With PKG selected, the harmonics to be emphasized will vary depending on Cutoff Frequency setting.

Resonance Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cutoff frequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively high settings can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort.

Value: 0127 fig.06-034.e

Cutoff Velocity Curve Selects one of the following seven curves that determine how keyboard playing dynamics (velocity) influence the cutoff frequency. Set this to FIXED if you dont want the Cutoff frequency to be affected by the keyboard velocity.

Value: FIXED, 17 fig.06-036

Cutoff Velocity Sens Use this parameter when changing the cutoff frequency to be applied as a result of changes in playing velocity. If you want strongly played notes to raise the cutoff frequency, set this parameter to positive (+) settings. If you want strongly played notes to lower the cutoff frequency, use negative (-) settings.

Value: -63 +63

Resonance Velocity Sens This allows keyboard velocity to modify the amount of Resonance. If you want strongly played notes to have a greater Resonance effect, set this parameter to positive (+) settings. If you want strongly played notes to have less Resonance, use negative (-) settings.

Value: -63 +63

TVF Env Velocity Curve Selects one of the following 7 curves that will determine how keyboard playing dynamics will affect the TVF envelope. Set this to FIXED if you dont want the TVF Envelope to be affected by the keyboard velocity.

Value: FIXED, 17 fig.06-036

TVF Env Velocity Sens Specifies how keyboard playing dynamics will affect the depth of the TVF envelope. Positive (+) settings will cause the TVF envelope to have a greater effect for strongly played notes, and negative (-) settings will cause the effect to be less.

Value: -63 +63

TVF Env Time 1 Velocity Sens This allows keyboard dynamics to affect the Time 1 of the TVF envelope. If you want Time 1 to be speeded up for strongly played notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.

Value: -63 +63

TVF Env Time 4 Velocity Sens The parameter to use when you want key release speed to control the Time 4 value of the TVF envelope. If you want Time 4 to be speeded up for quickly released notes, set this parameter to a positive (+) value. If you want it to be slowed down, set this to a negative (-) value.

TVF Env

TVF Env Depth Specifies the depth of the TVF envelope. Higher settings will cause the TVF envelope to produce greater change. Negative (-) settings will invert the shape of the envelope.

Value: -63 +63

TVF Env Time 14 (TVF Envelope Time 14) Specify the TVF envelope times (Time 1 Time 4). Higher settings will lengthen the time until the next cutoff frequency level is reached. (For example, Time 2 is the time over which Level 1 will change to Level 2.)

Value: 0127

TVF Env Level 04 (TVF Envelope Level 04) Specify the TVF envelope levels (Level 0Level 4). These settings specify how the cutoff frequency will change at each point, relative to the standard cutoff frequency (the cutoff frequency value specified in the TVF screen).

Value: 0127 fig.06-037.e

TVA Tone Level (Rhythm Tone level) Sets the volume of the rhythm tone. Use this parameter to adjust the volume balance between rhythm tones.

Value: 0127

The volume levels of the Waves from which the rhythm tone is composed is set with the WMT14 Wave Level parameter (p. 120).

Level Velocity Curve You can select from seven curves that determine how keyboard playing strength will affect the volume. If you do not want the volume of the rhythm tone to be affected by the force with which you press the key, select FIXED.

Value: FIXED, 17 fig.06-036

Level Velocity Sens Set this when you want the volume of the rhythm tone to change depending on the force with which you press the keys. Set this to a positive (+) value to have the changes in rhythm tone volume increase the more forcefully the keys are played; to make the tone play more softly as you play harder, set this to a negative (-) value.

Value: -63 +63

Tone Pan (Rhythm Tone Pan) Sets the pan for the rhythm tone. L64 is far left, 0 is center, and 63R is far right.

Value: L64063R

Set the Pan for Waves comprising the rhythm tones with the Wave Pan parameter (p. 120).

Random Pan Depth Use this parameter when you want the stereo location to change randomly each time you press a key. Higher settings will produce a greater amount of change.

Value: 063

This will affect only waves whose Wave Rnd Pan Sw parameter (p. 120) is ON.

Alternate Pan Depth This setting causes panning to be alternated between left and right each time a key is pressed. Higher settings will produce a greater amount of change. L or R settings will reverse the order in which the pan will alternate between left and right. For example if two rhythm tones are set to L and R respectively, the panning of the two rhythm tones will alternate each time they are played.

Value: L63063R

This will affect only waves whose Wave Alter Pan Sw parameter (p. 120) is ON or REV.

Relative Level Corrects for the volume of the rhythm tone. This parameter is set by the key-based controller system exclusive message. Normally, you should leave it set to 0.

Value: -64 +63

Creating a Sample Set

With the Fantom-G, you have total control over a wide variety of settings. Each item that can be set is known as a parameter. When you change the values of parameters, you are doing what is referred to as Editing. This chapter explains the procedures used in creating sample sets, and the functions of the sample set parameters.

On the Fantom-G, a waveform (wave) obtained by audio recording or sampling is called a sample. A sample set consists of sixteen samples handled as a set. You can specify how the samples will play when you press a pad or note on the keyboard.

Heres how to create a new sample set by starting with one of the provided sample sets.

The Patch Zoom Edit screen lets you edit the most important parameters. If you want to have access to all parameters, use the Patch Pro Edit screen (p. 127).

1. Select the sample set whose settings you want to edit (p. 53).

2. Press [PATCH].

The Patch Zoom Edit screen appears. fig.07-001_50

3. Press [CURSOR] button to move the cursor to the parameter you wish to modify.

For details on each parameter, refer to the following pages.

To change the part that you want to edit

Press [F7 (Part Select)].

4. Turn the VALUE dial, or Press [INC] [DEC] to set a value.

5. Repeat steps 34 to set each parameter you want to edit.

6. If you wish to save the changes youve made, press [WRITE] to perform the Save operation (p. 128). If you do not wish to save changes, press [EXIT] to return to the Single Play screen.

If you return to the Single Play screen without saving, the

This section explains the functions the different sample set parameters have, as well as the composition of these parameters.

If a number is displayed for the parameter name, ( , , , ), you can use the realtime controller knob of the corresponding

number (the left most knob is number 1, the right most knob is number 4) to set the value. fig.06-010

Sample Set Level, Sample Set MFX Switch, Sample Set Chorus Switch and Sample Set Reverb Switch applies to the entire sample set; the other parameters are set individually for each sample set tone.

Sample Set Name Specifies the name of the sample set.

By pressing [ENTER], you can assign a name to the sample set.

Value: space, AZ, az, 09, ! # $ % & ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ? @ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | }

For details on entering a name, refer to Assigning a Name (p. 42).

Sample Set Level Sets the volume of the sample set.

Value: 0127

The volume levels of the tones from which the sample set is composed is set with the Tone Level parameter (p. 131).

Direction Specifies the direction in which the sample will play.

Value:

FWD: Play forward.

REV: Play backward.

Trigger Mode Specifies how the sample will play when you press a pad (or key).

Value:

GATE: The sample will stop playing when you release the pad (or key).

DRUM: The sample will continue playing even after you release the pad (or key).

The sample will begin playing when you press the pad, and will stop automatically when the end of the sample is reached. If you select the DRUM setting, the Loop setting is ignored; the sample will play only once. Note that if you select DRUM, you will not be able to interrupt the sound, so use this setting with caution if the sample is extremely long.

Mute Group On an actual acoustic drum set, an open hi-hat and a closed hi-hat sound can never occur simultaneously. To reproduce the reality of this situation, you can set up a Mute Group.

The Mute Group function allows you to designate two or more sample tones that are not allowed to sound simultaneously. Up to 16 Mute Groups can be used. sample tones that are not belong to any such group should be set to OFF.

Value: OFF, 116

Sample Number L (Mono) Sample Number R This selects the Samples comprising the sample tone. Along with the Sample number, the Sample name appears at the lower part of the display.

When in monaural mode, only the left side (L) is specified. When in stereo, the right side (R) is also specified.

Value: OFF, 00012000

If you want to select a left/right pair of Samples, select the left (L) Sample number and then press [F3 (Set Stereo)]; the right (R) (Sample) will be recalled.

* When using a sample in stereo, you must specify the same number for

L and R.

Wave Gain Sets the gain (amplification) of the waveform. The value changes in 6 dB (decibel) stepsan increase of 6 dB doubles the waveforms gain.

Value: -6, 0, +6, +12

Tempo Sync (Wave Tempo Sync) When you wish to synchronize a Phrase Loop to the clock (tempo), set this to ON.

Value: OFF, ON

If a sample is selected for a tone, you must first set the BPM (tempo) parameter of the sample.

If a sample is selected for a tone, Wave Tempo Sync will require twice the normal number of voices.

Tone Coarse Tune (Sample Tone Coarse Tune) Selects the pitch at which a sample tone sounds.

Value: -48 +48

Tone Fine Tune (Sample Tone Fine Tune) Adjusts the pitch of the sample tones sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-50 cents).

Value: -50 +50

One cent is 1/100th of a semitone.

Modifying Waveforms (Wave)

Phrase Loop Phrase loop refers to the repeated playback of a phrase thats been pulled out of a song (e.g., by using a sampler). One technique involving the use of Phrase Loops is the excerpting of a Phrase from a pre-existing song in a certain genre, for example dance music, and then creating a new song with that Phrase used as the basic motif. This is referred to as Break Beats.

Realtime Time Stretch If the Wave Tempo Sync parameter is turned ON, you can vary the playback speed of the waveform without affecting the pitch.

Part Velocity Sens Offset This changes the volume and cutoff frequency for each part according to the velocity with which the keys are pressed. If you want strongly played notes to raise the volume/cutoff frequency, set this parameter to positive (+) settings. If you want strongly played notes to lower the volume/cutoff frequency, use negative (-) settings. Set Velocity Sensitivity to 0 when you want sounds played at a fixed volume and cutoff frequency, regardless of the force with which the keys are played.

Value: -63 +63

Patches also contain a Velocity Sensitivity Offset setting (p. 91). The ultimate Velocity Sensitivity Offset value is the sum of the parts and the patchs Velocity Sensitivity Offsets. Accordingly, if the patchs Velocity Sensitivity Offset parameter is set to 127 (maximum), there will be no change in the parts Velocity Sensitivity Offset, even when this is set to a positive value.

Pitch

Coarse Tune and Octave Shift The Coarse Tune and Fine Tune parameters, along with the Octave Shift parameter, can all be seen as doing the same thing to the sound, i.e., changing the pitch of the sound. For example, if C4 (Middle C) is played with the Coarse Tune parameter set to +12, the note produced is C5 (one octave above C4). For example, if C4 (Middle C) is played with the Octave Shift parameter set to +1, the note produced is C5 (one octave above C4).

However, internally these function very differently. When the Coarse Tune parameter is set to +12, the pitch itself is raised one octave. On the other hand, when the Octave Shift parameter is set to +1, it is the same as pressing the keys one octave up. In other words, use the Coarse Tune parameter when changing the pitch, and the Octave Shift parameter when you want to shift the entire keyboard, for example, when the number of keys is insufficient.

Scale Tune

Equal Temperament This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is the most widely used method of temperament used in Western music. The Fantom-G employs equal temperament when the Scale Tune Switch is set to OFF.

Just Temperament (Tonic of C) Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads sound pure in this tuning. However, this effect is achieved only in one key, and the triads will become ambiguous if you transpose.

Arabian Scale In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#, F# and G# are a quarter-note higher compared to equal temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E, F and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a natural thirdthe interval between a major third and a minor third. On the Fantom-G, you can use Arabian temperament in the three keys of G, C and F.

Voice Reserve

Calculating the Number of Voices Being Used The Fantom-G is able to play up to 128 notes simultaneously. The polyphony, or the number of voices (sounds) does not refer only to the number of sounds actually being played, but changes according to the number of tones used in the patches, and the number of Waves used in the tones. The following method is used to calculate the number of sounds used for one patch being played.

(Number of Sounds Being Played) x (Number of Tones Used by Patches Being Played) x (Number of Waves Used in the Tones)

Realtime Stretch requires twice the normal polyphony.

SYS CTRL1SYS CTRL4: MIDI messages used as common multi- effects controls.

If you want to use common controllers for the entire Fantom-G, select SYS CTRL 1SYS CTRL 4. MIDI messages used as System Control 14 are set with the Sys Ctrl 14 Source parameters (p. 297).

In patch/rhythm set/sample set, there are parameters that determine, for each tone/rhythm tone, whether or not Pitch Bend, Controller Number 11 (Expression) and Controller Number 64 (Hold 1) are received (p. 108). When these settings are ON, and the MIDI messages are received, then when any change is made in the settings of the desired parameter, the Pitch Bend, Expression, and Hold1 settings also change simultaneously. If you want to change the targeted parameters only, then set these to OFF.

Live mode and Studio mode provide parameters that let you specify whether specific MIDI messages will be received for each MIDI channel. When using multi-effect control, make sure that reception is enabled for the MIDI messages youre using. If MIDI message reception is disabled, multi-effect control wont work.

Destination 14 (Multi-Effects Control Destination 14) Sets the multi-effects parameters to be controlled with the multi- effects control. The multi-effects parameters available for control will depend on the multi-effects type. For details, refer to MFX/PFX

Parameter (p. 161).

Sens 14 (Multi-Effects Control Sensitivity 14) Sets the amount of the multi-effects controls effect that is applied. To make an increase in the currently selected value (to get higher values, move to the right, increase rates, and so on), select a positive value; to make a decrease in the currently selected value (to get lower values, move to the left, decrease rates, and so on), select a negative value. For either positive or negative settings, greater absolute values will allow greater amounts of change. Set this to 0 if you dont want to apply the effect.

Type (Multi-Effects Type) Use this parameter to select from among the 78 available multi- effects. For details on multi-effects parameters, refer to MFX/PFX

Value: 00: Thru78

In this setting screen, you can edit the parameters of the multi-effects that is selected by the Multi-effects Type setting. For details on the parameters that can be edited, refer to MFX/PFX Parameter (p. 161).

Multi-effect settings allow you to use the Realtime Control knobs to edit up to four pre-specified parameters for each multi- effect type.

Parameters marked by can be selected as a multi-effect control destination parameter (p. 157).

Multi-Effects Control If you wanted to change the volume of multi-effects sounds, the delay time of Delay, and the like, using an external MIDI device, you would need to send System Exclusive messages-MIDI messages designed exclusively for the Fantom-G. However, System Exclusive messages tend to be complicated, and the amount of data that needs to be transmitted can get quite large.

For that reason, a number of the more typical of the Fantom-Gs multi-effects parameters have been designed so they accept the use of Control Change (or other) MIDI messages for the purpose of making changes in their values. For example, you can use the Pitch Bend lever to change the amount of distortion, or use the keyboards touch to change the delay time of Delay. The parameters that can be changed are predetermined for each type of multi-effect; among the parameters described in MFX/

PFX Parameter (p. 161), these are indicated by a #.

In the multi-effect setting screen, a c symbol will be shown at the left of the parameter.

The function that allows you use MIDI messages to make these changes in realtime to the multi-effects parameters is called the Multi-effects Control. Up to four multi-effects controls can be used in a single patch/rhythm set/sample set/live set/studio set.

When the multi-effects control is used, you can select the amount of control (Sens parameter) applied, the parameter selected (Destination parameter), and the MIDI message used (Source parameter).

By using the Matrix Control instead of the Multi-effects Control, you can also change the parameters of some popular multi-effects in realtime (p. 109).

This is a stereo compressor (limiter) that is applied to the final output of the Fantom-G. It has independent high, mid, and low ranges. Independently for the high-frequency, mid-frequency, and low-frequency regions, this compresses any sounds that exceed the specified level, making the volume more consistent. When mixing down to MD, or DAT, or when you procedure your own original audio CD, this lets you master at an optimized level.

* Mastering effect settings apply to the entire Fantom-G. These settings

are not for individual patches or performances.

* The mastering effect is applied to the sound that is output from the

OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks. It will not be applied to the sound that is

output from the OUTPUT B jacks. fig.22-013_50

For details on these settings, refer to Making Effect Settings (p. 151)

The MFX (multi-effects) feature 78 different kinds of effects (the PFX: 76 types). Some of the effects consist of two or more different effects connected in series.

Parameters marked with a sharp # can be controlled using a specified controller (Two setting items will change simultaneously for #1 and #2).

About Note Some effect parameters (such as Rate or Delay Time) can be set in terms of a note value.

Such parameters have a num/note switch that lets you specify whether you will set the value as a note value or as a numerical value.

If you want to set Rate (Delay Time) as a numerical value, set the num/note switch to Hz (msec). If you want to set it as a note value, set the num/note switch to NOTE.

If a parameter whose num/note switch is set to NOTE is specified as a destination for multi-effect control, you will not be able to use multi-effect control to control that parameter.

20: SLICER By applying successive cuts to the sound, this effect turns a conventional sound into a sound that appears to be played as a backing phrase. This is especially effective when applied to sustain- type sounds. fig.MFX-20

21: ROTARY The Rotary effect simulates the sound of the rotary speakers often used with the electric organs of the past. Since the movement of the high range and low range rotors can be set independently, the unique type of modulation characteristic of these speakers can be simulated quite closely. This effect is most suitable for electric organ Patches. fig.MFX-21

22: VK ROTARY This type provides modified response for the rotary speaker, with the low end boosted further.

This effect features the same specifications as the VK-7s built-in rotary speaker. fig.MFX-22

Mode LEGATO, SLASH

Sets the manner in which the volume changes as one step progresses to the next.

LEGATO: The change in volume from one steps level to the next remains unaltered. If the level of a following step is the same as the one preceding it, there is no change in volume. SLASH: The level is momentarily set to 0 before progressing to the level of the next step. This change in volume occurs even if the level of the follow- ing step is the same as the preceding step.

Shuffle # 0127 Timing of volume changes in levels for even-numbered steps (step 2, step 4, step 6...).

The higher the value, the later the beat progresses.

When Using 3D Effects The following 3D effects utilize RSS (Roland Sound Space) technology to create a spaciousness that cannot be produced by delay, reverb, chorus, etc.

52: 3D DELAY

29: 3D CHORUS

30: 3D FLANGER

31: 3D STEP FLANGER

When using these effects, we recommend that you place your speakers as follows. Also, make sure that the speakers are at a sufficient distance from the walls on either side. fig.33-002

If the left and right speakers are too far apart, or if there is too much reverberation, the full 3D effect may not appear.

Each of these effects has an Output Mode parameter. If the sound from the OUTPUT jacks is to be heard through speakers, set this parameter to SPEAKER. If the sound is to be heard through headphones, set it to PHONES. This will ensure that the optimal 3D effect will be heard. If this parameter is not set correctly, the full 3D effect may not appear.

The above five types contain a sixteen-step sequencer.

For these types, you can use a multi-effect control to reset the sequence to play from the first step.

To do this, set the multi-effect control Destination to Step Reset.

For example if you are using the modulation lever to control the effect, you would make the following settings.

Source: CC01: MODULATION

Destination: Step Reset

Sens: +63

With these settings, the sequence will play back from the first step whenever you operate the modulation lever.

Fantom-G_r_e.book 188

Using the Pads

You can strike the Fantom-Gs pads to play samples, rhythms, or phrases, or you can use the pads as sixteen switches to turn various parameters on/off. The pads can operate in one of sixteen modes. Press [PAD MODE] to switch the pad mode.

1. Press [PAD MODE].

The pad mode window will appear in the screen.

[PAD MODE] will blink, and the currently selected pad mode (pad [1][16]) will blink.

If you decide not to switch the pad mode, press [PAD MODE] once again. [PAD MODE] will go dark, and youll return to the previous state.

2. Press a pad [1][16].

The pad mode will be switched. For details about operation in each pad mode, refer to the table below and the corresponding reference pages.

If you press the pad [NUMERIC] button to make it light, the pads will act as numeric keys. Using the pad for numeric

input (p. 41)

By using the Hold function, you can make the sound continue even after you take your finger off the pad. This is convenient when you want a sound to continue, such as a phrase that you want to loop (play repeatedly).

The Hold function is available only if the pad mode is 1 SAMPLE PAD or 2 RHYTHM.

Sustaining a sound while you play other sounds 1. While holding down a pad,

press [HOLD].

[HOLD] and the pad will blink.

That pad will be held, and will continue sounding even after you release your finger from it. If you press another pad in this state, it will sound only as long as you continue holding it.

2. The pad that was being held will stop sounding when you press the blinking pad or [HOLD] once again.

Sustaining multiple sounds 1. Press [HOLD] to make the

pad light.

2. Press a pad.

The pad will blink, and will continue sounding. If you press other pads in this state, they will also continue sounding.

3. The sound will stop when you once again press a blinking pad. If you press [HOLD], all pads will stop sounding.

The Hold function wont work in the following situations.

For a rhythm set in which Tone Env Mode (p. 108) is set to NO-SUS

For a sample set in which One Shot Mode (p. 118) is turned on

For a sample set in which Trigger Mode (p. 129) is set to DRUM

This pad mode allows you to use the pads to trigger phrases generated by the RPS (Realtime Phrase Sequence) function.

For example, complex phrases that would be difficult to play manually in a live performance can be assigned to the pads, and then triggered by a single finger at the appropriate moment.

You can also create phrases for individual instruments such as drums, bass, or keyboard, and combine these to create a new song. In addition, you can record this performance, allowing you to use this function in a way similar to phrase sampling.

1. Press [PAD MODE], and then press pad [5] (RPS).

2. Press the pads [1][16] to trigger the phrase assigned to each pad.

Pads that can play phrases will light. Currently-playing pads will blink.

You must play back the song if you want to play phrases in synchronization with the song, or if you want to play multiple phrases in synchronization.

If the song is not playing, the phrase will begin playing as soon as you press the pad, regardless of how the Trigger Quantize parameter is set.

Phrases will play in synchronization with the songs time signature (beat track). This means that if no performance data has been recorded, the song will not play, and therefore the phrases cannot play back in synchronization. In this case, youll have to insert several empty measures into the phrase track, and then play it as a loop.

The phrase playback tempo will be the same as the song playback tempo.

1. Press [TEMPO].

2. The Tempo window will appear, indicating the current tempo.

3. Turn the VALUE dial or use [INC] [DEC] to specify the tempo value (5.00300.00). If you hold down [SHIFT] and turn the VALUE dial youll be able to adjust the value below the decimal point. You can also specify the tempo by repeatedly pressing [F6 (Tap Tempo)] at the desired tempo (Tap Tempo function).

If you press [F7 (Click)] to turn it on, the click will sound.

4. When youve finished making settings, press [F8 (Close)].

You can press [PAD SETTING] to edit the following settings.

For details on editing and saving, refer to Editing the

Playing Back a Song

This section explains how to use the Fantom-Gs sequencer to play back a song.

We recommend that you put the sound generator in Studio

mode when creating or playing a song.

In Studio mode you can use up to sixteen sounds to play a different instrument for each part, so this is the ideal mode for playing a song that uses an ensemble of multiple instruments such as drums, bass, and piano.

There are three ways to play back: you can play Fantom-G songs, Standard MIDI Files (SMF), or phrases (MIDI Phrases).

Playing a song (p. 204) You can play Fantom-G songs.

Playing Standard MIDI Files (SMF) (p. 212) You can copy Standard MIDI Files (SMF) from your computer to the Fantom-G, and play them or import them into a song or phrase.

Playing phrases (MIDI Phrase) (p. 214) You can audition phrases from within a Fantom-G project.

Heres how to play a Fantom-G song.

Heres how to access the Song List and load a song from the project.

When you load a song, the temporary area (p. 35) of the sound generator will be in the state it was when you created the song. Before loading a song, you should save the patch or live set or studio set that you were editing.

1. Press [SONG].

This section explains how to use the Fantom-Gs sequencer to record MIDI.

A phrase is a chunk of recorded MIDI data. You can create a song simply by placing phrases in the MIDI tracks of a song.

You can record MIDI either by recording it directly into a MIDI track of a song, or by recording into a phrase.

Recording into a song (p. 218) In the Song Play screen, select a track and a recording start location, and then begin recording. After recording, the phrase will be attached to the recording start location.

Recording into a phrase (p. 220) In the MIDI Phrase List screen, select a phrase number and then begin recording. After recording, the phrase will be added to the list.

There are two ways to record MIDI: realtime recording and step

recording. Use the method thats suitable for your needs.

Realtime recording (p. 222) With this method, your performance on the keyboard and pads, and the controller movements you make, are recorded exactly as you perform them.

Step recording (p. 226) Step recording allows you to enter notes and rests one by one. This method is suitable when you need to enter notes at a precise timing, such as when recording drums or bass.

You cant step-record directly into a song. You can use step recording to record a phrase.

Phrases and Songs

Two Methods of Recording

217

Recording MIDI

Fantom-G_r_e.book 218

Recording work-flow When recording a new song, the work-flow is as follows.

1. Select the sound you want to use for recording.

2. Erase the song thats in the temporary area.

3. Specify the time signature of the song (p. 219).

4. Specify the tempo (p. 219).

5. Select a MIDI track and the recording-start measure (p. 219).

6. Perform realtime recording (p. 222).

7. Use song editing to edit the song (p. 232).

8. Use phrase editing (p. 238) or microscope editing (p. 250) to edit the phrase.

9. Save the song (p. 254).

Before you record a song, select Studio mode and choose the sound youll use for recording.

The Fantom-Gs sequencer can record your performance regardless of the sound generator mode (Single, Live, or Studio), but we recommend that you choose Studio mode when you want to record a song. In Studio mode, when you use the Fantom-Gs keyboard and pads to record, youll hear only the sound of the specified MIDI channel, and you can use a different sound for each part (up to sixteen sounds) to play back the recorded song. This means that Studio mode is the appropriate choice when recording or playing back an ensemble performance using multiple instruments such as drums, bass, and piano.

We recommend that you turn the Keyboard Switch (p. 69) off for all parts. If this is on, multiple parts of your performance will be recorded to a single phrase, which is not what you want when creating a song.

Selecting Studio mode p. 66

Selecting a Studio Set p. 67

Selecting a sound for each part p. 68

When you record a song, the performance data is recorded into the temporary area. If you want to record a new song, youll need to erase the existing performance data from the temporary area before you begin.

If youve been editing the currently-opened song, save the song before you continue (p. 254).

You can record on any of the tracks 1128 that indicates MIDI.

You are free to simultaneously record MIDI data for multiple sound generator parts on the same MIDI track, and you are also free to use multiple MIDI tracks to record MIDI data for a single sound generator part. Initially, youll probably want to keep things simple by using the MIDI track of the same number as the sound generator part its playing.

1. Press [SONG].

The Song Play screen will appear.

2. Turn the VALUE dial or use / to select the MIDI track on which you want to record.

Select a track that has the MIDI indication.

Rec Mode

Selects how recording is to take place.

Value

MIX: Mix-recording will be carried out. Normally, you will record using this method. If a performance has already been recorded on the recording-destination phrase, your newly recorded performance will be added to the existing performance without erasing it. By using this in conjunction with Loop-recording, you can record repeatedly over a specified area without erasing the previously recorded performance. For example, this is a convenient way to record a drum performance one instrument at a time; bass drum snare drum hi-hat, etc.

REPLACE: Replace-recording will be carried out. If a performance has already been recorded on the recording-destination phrase, it will be erased as you record your new performance. Use this when you want to re-record.

Count In

Selects how recording is to begin.

Value

OFF: Recording will begin immediately when you press [PLAY].

1 MEAS: When you press [PLAY], a count (playback) will begin one measure before the recording-start location, and recording will begin when you reach the recording-start location.

2 MEAS: When you press [PLAY], a count (playback) will begin two measures before the recording-start location, and recording will begin when you reach the recording-start location.

WAIT NOTE: As an alternative to pressing [PLAY], you can play the keyboard, strike a pad, or press the Hold pedal to start recording.

Value: , , , , , ,

Grid Quantize Strength Make this setting when you are using Grid Quantize. It specifies the degree to which notes will be adjusted toward the timing intervals specified by the Grid Resolution parameter. With a setting of 100%, the notes will be corrected precisely to the timing of the Grid Resolution parameter. As you lower this setting, the note timing will be corrected to a lesser extent, and with a setting of 0% the timing will not be adjusted at all.

Value: 0100%

Shuffle Resolution When you are using Shuffle Quantize, make this setting to specify the note value used for quantization.

Value: ,

Shuffle Rate Make this setting when using Shuffle Quantize. It specifies the degree to which the backbeat will be separated from the downbeat specified by the Shuffle Resolution parameter. With a setting of 50%, the backbeat will be exactly between adjacent downbeats. With a setting of 0%, the backbeat will be moved to the same timing as the preceding downbeat. With a setting of 100%, the backbeat will be moved to the same timing as the following downbeat.

Step Back

Cancel the previously input note.

Tie

Extend the length of the previously input note by the current setting.

Rest

Inputs a rest. First set the Note Type parameter to a length that is the same as the rest you want to input.

Zoom In

Narrow the range of keys shown in the display. Use this when you want to view certain notes at greater magnification.

Zoom Out

Expand the range of notes shown in the display. Use this when you want to see which notes have been input.

Untie

Removes the most recently input tie.

9. Repeat the above steps to continue inputting.

The previous value of each parameter is remembered. This means that if you want to use the same settings as the previously input note, there is no need to change the settings. Once you have set the Gate Time parameter and Input Velocity parameter, it is not normally necessary to change them, so all you have to do is set the Note Type parameter and specify the pitch (keyboard, pad) of each note.

10. When you are finished step recording, press [STOP].

The [REC] indicator will go dark.

Inputting a Chord Press the chord. The cursor will move to the next step when you release all keys or pads.

Moving the input location Pressing [F8 ()] will move the input location forward by the

current Note Type value.

Pressing [F7 ( )] will move the input location backward by the current Note Type value.

Hold down [SHIFT] and press [F8 ()] will advance the input location by one measure.

Hold down [SHIFT] and press [F7 ( )] will return the input location by one measure.

Moving the display region Pressing or will move the displayed region of notes upward or downward.

The Relation between Note Value Length and Gate Time The relation between the length of the note value and the gate time is shown below. Since the Fantom-Gs sequencer uses a TPQN (Ticks Per Quarter Note; i.e., resolution) of 480, a quarter note gate time is 480 ticks.

The gate time that is recorded in step recording will be the original gate time value multiplied by the value of the Gate Time parameter. For example, if the Gate Time parameter is set to 80%, inputting a quarter note will mean that the

gate time is 480 x 0.8=384.

Recording Audio

This section explains how to use the Fantom-Gs sequencer to record audio.

About the audio recording time

The Fantom-G has 32 MB of built-in memory, which allows you to record approximately six minutes of mono audio or approximately 3 minutes of stereo audio. If you want to record for longer than this, youll need to install commercially available memory (DIMM) (p. 308, p. 310).

A piece of recorded audio data is called a sample. You can create a song simply by placing samples in an audio track of a song.

You can record audio either by recording directly into an audio track of a song, or by recording only samples (sampling), or by importing WAV or AIFF files from your computer.

Recording into a song (p. 228) From the Song Play screen, select a track and a record-start location, and then record.

After recording, the sample will be assigned to the record-start location of the track.

Sampling (p. 258) You can use the Sampling function to record audio. The samples you record will be added to the sample list. You can create a song by freely placing these samples in an audio track of the song.

Importing from your computer (p. 283) You can import WAV or AIFF files from your computer. The imported WAV or AIFF files will be added to the sample list as samples. You can create a song by freely placing these samples in an audio track of the song.

When recording audio into a song, the work-flow is as follows.

1. Select an audio track and the recording-start location (p. 229).

2. Perform audio recording (p. 230).

3. Use song editing (p. 232) to edit the song.

4. Edit the samples (p. 263).

5. Save the song (p. 254).

Data handled by the tempo track The tempo track records tempo data for the song.

Tempo Change This data specifies the tempo. The song will play according to the value of these tempo changes.

The value shown in =** is the tempo at which the song will actually play (the playback tempo), and can be adjusted in the PLAY screen of each mode.

If the tempo change value differs from the playback tempo, this means that the playback tempo has been changed temporarily. In other words, the tempo change values have not been rewritten, so this setting will be lost if you switch to a different song or turn off the power. If you want the song to play at this tempo the next time as well, you must re-save the song. This will rewrite the tempo change values to match the actual playback tempo.

In the chapter Recording MIDI (p. 217), we explained Recording

Quantize, which lets you quantize during realtime recording. Alternatively, it is also possible to quantize a phrase that has already been recorded.

The Quantize operation will correct only the timing at which notes were pressed (note-on) and released (note-off), and will not correct any other sequencer data. This means that if you record MIDI messages such as bend range or modulation along with notes, quantization can cause the notes to go out of sync with the MIDI messages, skewing timing. To avoid such problems it is better to record non-keyboard data afterward, using mix recording, etc.

For details on the settings, refer to Phrase Modify Menu (p. 239)

Ch (MIDI Channel) Specifies the MIDI channel(s) of the notes to be quantized.

If you wish to quantize all notes, set this parameter to ALL. When quantizing only the notes of a specific MIDI channel, select that channel.

Value: ALL, Ch1Ch16

Measure, For (Edit Range) Sets the range of measures that are to be quantized. If you set For to ALL, all measures will be specified.

Quantize Type Specifies the Quantize range.

Value

GRID: Grid Quantize will be applied to recording. Since the notes will be adjusted to the timing of the specified note value, you can use this when you want drums or bass (for example) to play in an accurate rhythm.

SHUFFLE: Shuffle Quantize will be applied to recording. Use this when you want to produce a shuffle or swing rhythmic feel.

TEMPLATE: The Fantom-G provides 71 quantize templates. These templates contain various quantize settings for applying rhythmic feels of many different musical categories. Select the template you want for quantization.

* If your sequencer data notes are too far off from accurate time,

Template Quantize may not work that efficiently so you wont achieve

the desired results. If this is the case, apply Grid Quantize to your

sequencer data first to lose timing mistakes.

Resolution (Grid Quantize Resolution) This parameter is used when Grid Quantize is selected. Specifies quantization time interval as a note value. Choose a Resolution that matches the smallest note in the area youre quantizing.

Value: , , , , , ,

Strength (Grid Quantize Strength) This parameter is used when Grid Quantize is selected. This parameter specifies a percentage of how note timing will be corrected toward the timing interval that is specified by the Resolution parameter. With a setting of 100%, the note will move all the way to the nearest timing interval of the Grid Resolution setting. A setting of 0% will not change note timing at all.

Resolution (Shuffle Quantize Resolution) This parameter is used when Shuffle Quantize is selected. Specifies quantization time interval as a note value.

Value: ,

Rate (Shuffle Quantize Rate) This parameter is used when Shuffle Quantize is selected. Specifies how far apart you want a down-beat specified by the Shuffle Resolution parameter to be from the up-beat that immediately follows. By shifting the timing of an up-beat, you can create a swing feel. A setting of 50% will place the timing of the up-beat note at the exact mid point between the down-beat and the next down-beat. A setting of 0% will move the up-beat note to the same timing as the previous down-beat. A setting of 100% will move it to the same timing as the following down-beat.

Value: 0100% fig.19-010.e

Quantize Template (Quantize Template) Specifies the template you wish to use.

Here is a list of preset groove templates.

* The templates are designed for a 4/4 time signature. Applying them to

a performance of a different time signature may not produce the

desired result.

* The style names shown here are only for your convenience; they are

not intended to imply that the templates are usable only for the named

style. You can certainly try them with other styles of music.

Timing (Quantize Timing) This specifies how much a note will move toward the timing

interval of the template you pick. At a setting of 100%, the

note will be perfectly timed with the template. At a setting of

0%, the note will not move at all.

Saving a Song (Song Save)

A song you record is initially held in the temporary area. The song in the temporary area will be lost if you turn off the power or load a different song. If you want to keep this song, youll need to save it to the project.

Along with the sequencer data, the song data also contains the studio set, live set, patch, and system setup data that you were using at that time.

The studio set, live set, and patch data saved within the song data is special data for reproducing the song; it is separate from the user studio sets, live sets, and user patches.

* If you want to use this data with a different song, or to use it

independently of any song, you must save the data in the user area.

The samples and phrases used by the song are automatically saved when you save the song.

7. When the song ends, press [F7 (Stop)].

Alternatively, you can set the Stop Trigger (p. 260) parameter to TIME and set the Sampling Length (p. 261) parameter to the ending location of the song so that resampling will stop automatically.

8. In the Sample Edit screen (p. 266), listen to the sample you just created by resampling.

The volume of resampled phrases may be less than the volume of the original phrases. As necessary, use the Normalize operation (p. 270) to raise the volume.

The resampled sample will be lost if you turn off the power. If you want keep the sample, press [WRITE] to save it (p. 274).

A sample you created by resampling can be copied to your computer. The sample will be a WAV file, which you can use to create a CD or MP3 on your computer.

1. Verify the number of the sample you resampled. (In this example well assume its number 0001.)

2. Use the USB Storage function (p. 281) to copy the following sample to your computer.

FantomG.Prj/SMPL/0001.WAV (The number in the .WAV file name will be the sample number.)

FantomG.prj is the name of the project folder in the

Fantom-Gs internal memory. Multiple projects can be saved in USB memory. By default, the project folders will be numbered

as FantomG001.Prj, FantomG002.Prj, etc., and

the portion preceding the filename extension will be the project name you assigned when saving.

Sampling

The Fantom-G lets you sample audio sources, such as an audio device, mic, or CD.

This section explains the sampling procedure and what the parameters do.

Sampling time

The Fantom-G contains 32 MB of memory, which allows about 6 minutes of mono or about 3 minutes of stereo sampling. If you want to sample for a longer time than this, you must install separately sold memory (DIMM) (p. 308, p. 310).

* The available recording time may be shorter depending on how

memory is being used.

1. Press [MIX IN] to turn it on.

The button will light.

You can use the System setting Mix In Switch (p. 297) to memorize the on/off setting.

2. To turn it off, press [MIX IN] again.

1. Connect your CD player, mic, or other audio source to the AUDIO INPUT jacks, MIC/GUITAR jack or to the DIGITAL AUDIO IN connector located on the rear panel of the Fantom-G.

926a * When connection cables with resistors are used, the volume level of

equipment connected to the inputs (AUDIO INPUT) may be low. If

this happens, use connection cables that do not contain resistors.

* If an external device is connected to the DIGITAL AUDIO IN

connector, disconnecting the cable or powering-off the external device

may cause noise to be subsequently heard in the input from DIGITAL

AUDIO IN. If this occurs, correctly re-connect your external device,

or turn off the Fantom-Gs [MIX IN] switch.

2. Hold down [SHIFT] and press [MIX IN]. fig.14-001_50

3. Press or to select the parameter that you want to set.

4. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC] [DEC] to set the value.

See Functions of Input Setting Parameters (p. 258) for each parameters functions.

5. Play back the external input source.

6. If you use AUDIO INPUT, turn the LEVEL knob (rear panel: p. 24) to adjust the volume.

* If youre using DIGITAL AUDIO IN or USB AUDIO, this

adjustment is not necessary.

* If the volume of the external source is too high, the PEAK indicator

will light. If this occurs, turn down the LEVEL knob until the PEAK

indicator no longer lights.

7. Press [EXIT] to return to the previous screen.

This section explains the functions the different Input Setting parameters have, as well as the composition of these parameters.

LINE IN L: INPUT jack L (mono)

MIC/GUITAR: MIC/GUITAR jack

USB AUDIO: USB connector

* This cannot be set when resampling.

Stereo Switch

Specifies whether the sound will be sampled in stereo or in monaural. Mono sampling uses half as much memory space.

Value

MONO: The sound will be sampled as one wave. If the sound is stereo, the left and right signals will be mixed.

STEREO: The sound will be sampled as two waves, L and R.

Pre Sample Time

The length of sound preceding the moment at which sampling was manually or automatically initiated that will be captured in the sample. This lets you prevent the attack portion of the sound from being omitted from the sample.

Value: 01000 ms

Stop Trigger

Specifies how sampling will end.

Value

MANUAL: Continue sampling until you press [STOP].

BEAT: Stop sampling after the specified number of beats at the current tempo (BPM).

TIME: Sample the specified length of time.

Sampling Procedure

Mode Explanation Sampling: [F1 (Sampling)]

Sample a sound from an external in- put source. * Operating the keyboards, pads, D beam or

sequencer will not play the internal sound generator.

Re-Sampling: [F2 (Re-Sampling]

Resample the sound of the internal sound generator. The sound of the external input will not be heard. * The volume of a phrase that you resample

may be less than the volume of the original phrase. If necessary, execute the Normalize command (p. 270) to raise the volume.

Mix Sampling: [F3 (Mix)]

Sample the combined sounds of the internal sound generator and an ex- ternal input source.

Auto divide sam- pling: [F4 (Auto Divide)]

Sample an extended source, and au- tomatically divide it into several samples at silent regions. If the sam- ple contains silence, it will be divid- ed at that point, and the subsequent portion will be assigned to the next sample number. * Operating the keyboards, pads, D beam or

sequencer will not play the internal sound generator.

Solo sampling: [F5 (Solo)]

While playing the internal sound generator as usual, sample only the sound from the external input. * Effects other than the Input Effect cant be

applied to the external input sound.

Solo with effects sampling: [F6 (Solo with FX)]

While playing the internal sound generator, only the sounds from the external input will be recorded. At this time, an effect can be applied to the external input sound. * MFX (multi-effect) cant be applied to the

sound of the internal sound generator.

Sampling Length

You can specify this if Stop Trigger is BEAT or TIME.

Value

When Stop Trigger is BEAT: 120000: Number of beats to continue sampling

When Stop Trigger is TIME: 0000001010747000: length of time to continue sampling

By holding down [SHIFT] and turning the VALUE dial you can adjust this in steps of one second.

Auto Trigger Level

Specifies the volume at which sampling will begin if you have pressed [F2 (Auto Trig)] to turn Auto Trig ON.

Value: 07 (A setting of 0 is the minimum.)

Gap Time

Specifies the length of the silences at which the sample will be divided if the Sampling Mode is set to Auto Divide. Whenever there is a silent region longer than the specified time, the sample will be divided at that point, and the next sample number will be assigned to the sound that follows.

Value: 500, 1000, 1500, 2000 ms

* This parameter is valid only when you are using Auto Divide

Sampling.

Input Setting: [F1 (Inp Setting)]

Makes settings for the external input (p. 258).

Auto Trigger Sw: [F2 (Auto Trig)]

If this is on, sampling will begin automatically when the input sound is detected.

Before you turn Auto Trig on, perform steps 4 and 5 to set the input level.

Trim Sw: [F3 (Trim Sw)]

If this is turned on, the Start point and End point settings (p. 267) will be automatically adjusted after sampling is performed, so any silent portions at the beginning or end of the sampled sound are excluded.

4. Play the external input source.

5. If you use AUDIO INPUT, turn the LEVEL knob (rear panel: p. 24) to adjust the volume.

* If youre using DIGITAL IN, this adjustment is not necessary.

* If the volume of the external source is too high, the PEAK indicator

will light. If this occurs, turn down the LEVEL knob until the PEAK

indicator no longer lights.

* If the level of the sound to be sampled is too high, the word CLIP

will appear in the level meter in the screen.

* Using a connection cable that contains a resistor can cause the sound

level to be low. Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

6. Press [F8 (Start)] to begin sampling.

* If the Auto Trigger setting is on, sampling will begin as soon as sound

is input.

7. If Stop Trigger is set to MANUAL, press [F7 (Stop)] to stop sampling.

The Sample Edit (p. 266) screen will appear.

* If you want to edit the sample, refer to p. 263. fig.14-007_50

When you finish sampling, the sample will automatically be added to the sample list. Press [F1 (Sample List)] to view the sample list.

fig.14-008_50

Samples you record will be lost when you turn off the

power. If you want to keep your sample, press [F2 (Save)] to save it (p. 274).

Sampling

Fantom-G_r_e.book 262

1. During sampling, press [F8 (Divide)].

The sample will be divided at the point where you pressed the button, and the subsequent material will be sampled as a sample of the next number.

* When sampling in mono, you can divide the material into a maximum

of 256 samples. When sampling in stereo, you can divide the material

into a maximum of 128 samples (L/R total 256 samples).

Skip Back Sampling is a function that lets you sample what were playing immediately prior to that point, even if you were not recording. When you press the SKIPBACK button, the performance that you were playing for a certain length of time before that moment will be sampled.

This is extremely convenient if youve been playing a phrase repeatedly, and want to sample it only after youve managed to play it correctly. fig.14-009

Button lit: Skip-back sampling can be performed in this state.

Button unlit: Skip-back sampling cannot be performed. Not operating. You cannot use skip-back sampling if there is insufficient free memory.

Button blinking: Skip Back Sampling will be executed.

1. Play the Fantom-Gs keyboard or pads, or connect an instrument or some other device to the AUDIO IN jacks or DIGITAL AUDIO IN and input sounds or phrases.

2. Press [SKIPBACK].

Skip Back Sampling will be executed.

When Skip Back Sampling ends, the Sample Edit screen will appear (p. 266).

Samples captured by Skip Back Sampling will be lost when you turn off the power. If you want to keep the sample, perform the Save procedure (p. 274).

You can specify how far back sampling will occur when you perform skip-back sampling (540 seconds). With the factory settings this is set to 10 seconds (Skip Back Time (p. 298)).

You can specify the portion of the sample that will actually sound. You can also specify the region that is to be looped.

1. Select the sample you want to edit, and access the Sample Edit screen.

* For details on how to select a sample, refer to Selecting a Sample

(p. 263). fig.15-003_50

2. Use or to select the point that you want to set.

Start Point:

This is the point at which playback will start. Set this so that any unwanted portion at the beginning of the sample will be skipped, and the sound will begin at the desired moment.

Loop Start:

This is the point at which loop playback (second and subsequent times) will start. Set this if you want to loop the sound from a point other than the start point.

End Point:

This is the point at which playback will end. Set this so that any unwanted portion at the end of the sample will not be heard.

By pressing [F7 (Preview)] you can audition the region between the start point and edit point.

If you hold down [F7 (Preview)] and edit the start/loop/end point, the sample will play repeatedly across that point. Since the sound in the region youre specifying will play repeatedly, this is a convenient way to check your setting. (Zooming-in or zooming-out on the waveform will change the region that loops.)

3. Either turn the VALUE dial or use [INC], [DEC] to move the point so its where you want it to be.

Youll probably find it convenient to zoom-in when making fine adjustments, and zoom-out when making major adjustments (p. 266).

You can move the point in units of one beat by pressing [F4

(Beat )] or [F5 (Beat )].

After specifying the start point and end point, you can execute Truncate (p. 269) to delete unwanted portions at the beginning and end of the sample.

Sample modify menu operations (Chop, Normalize, etc.) apply to the entire sample. Even if you specify a start point or end point, they will be ignored. If you want to apply the operation only to the region between the start point and end point, use Truncate to delete unwanted portions of the sample, and then perform the sample modify menu operation.

You can use the knobs to edit each point. Using the knobs is convenient when you need to make large changes to the value.

1. Use the CONTROL knobs to specify the following editing points.

From the left, the knobs have the following functions. fig.15-003a

: Loop Start

: End Point

Using the Knobs to Edit the Points

About the beat Samples contain beat data. Up to 100 beat locations are specified for one sample. If the sample contains more than 100 beats, fifty beat locations will be specified from the beginning and end of the sample, respectively.

When you want to reset the beat indication (Reset Grid function [F7 (Reset Grid)]) From the Sample Edit screen, specify the start point of the sample, press [F2 (Sample Param)] to access the Sample Prm screen, specify the BPM, and then press [F7 (Reset Grid)]. This will reapply the grid to the sample according to the start point and BPM you specified. To execute, press [F8 (Execute)].

Sync Mode Specify the synchronization message that the Fantom-Gs sequencer will use for operation.

Value

MASTER: The Fantom-G will be the master. Choose this setting when using the Fantom-G by itself without synchronizing to another device, or when you want other MIDI devices to synchronize to the Fantom-G.

SLAVE-MIDI: The Fantom-G will be the slave. Choose this setting when you want the Fantom-G to synchronize to MIDI Clock messages received from another MIDI device.

SLAVE-MTC: The Fantom-G will be the slave. Choose this setting when you want the Fantom-G to synchronize to MTC (MIDI Time Code) received from an external device.

REMOTE: Use this setting when you wish an external MIDI device to have remote start/pause/stop control. The tempo will be in accord with what has been set on the Fantom-G.

Sync Output (Sync Output Switch) Set this parameter ON when you want synchronization related MIDI messages (MIDI Clock, Start, Continue, Stop, Song Position Pointer and Song Select) to be transmitted to an external MIDI device. If not, set it OFF.

Value: OFF, ON

Clock Source When the Sync Mode is set to SLAVE-MIDI or SLAVE-MTC, this setting specifies whether the Fantom-G will synchronize to the tempo from the MIDI IN connector or the tempo from the USB connector.

Value

MIDI: Synchronize to the tempo from the MIDI IN connector.

USB: Synchronize to the tempo from the USB connector.

MMC Mode When synchronizing the Fantom-G with a hard disk recorder, such as one from the Roland VS series, specify which synchronization signal the Fantom-Gs sequencer will use for operation.

Value

MASTER: The Fantom-G will be the master. Use this setting when you want other devices to follow the operation of the Fantom-G.

SLAVE: The Fantom-G will be the slave. Use this setting when you want the Fantom-G to receive MMC (MIDI Machine Control) from an external device and operate accordingly.

MMC (MIDI Machine Control) is a specification that allows MIDI messages to be used to control devices such as tape recorders, VTRs, and digital recording systems. Thirty-seven MMC commands are available, including Stop and Play.

MMC Output (MMC Output Switch) Turn this ON if you want to synchronize with a hard disk recorder, such as one from the Roland VS series. When set ON, MMC (MIDI Machine Control) related commands (Play, Stop and Locate) will be transmitted.

Value: OFF, ON

MTC Sync Output (MTC Sync Output Switch) Set this parameter ON when you want MTC (MIDI Time Code) to be transmitted to an external MIDI device. If not, set it OFF.

Value: OFF, ON

MTC Frame Rate Specify the MTC frame rate. Make sure that the same mode is set in both master and slave devices.

Value

24: 24 frames per second

25: 25 frames per second

29N: 29 frames per second

29D: 29 frames per second

30: 30 frames per second

When synchronizing with a hard disk recorder such as the Roland VS series, any frame rate is all rightas long as the setting matches that of the Fantom-G. However, when synchronizing operation with video devices such as video decks, the video devices frame rate is fixed, so the Fantom-Gs setting must correspond to that frame rate.

Sync/Temp

MIDI Clock and MTC MIDI Clock and MTC (MIDI Time Code) are both messages used for synchronization. Select either of them depending on the application.

MIDI Clock transmits and synchronizes operations to a sequencers performance tempo, whereas MTC synchronizes operations between devices based on an absolute time.

291

System Settings (Settings Common to All Modes)

Fantom-G_r_e.book 292

MTC Offset Time Hour Coordinates the playback timing of the Fantom-G and the external device in an hour units.

Value: 0023 hours

MTC Offset Time Minute Coordinates the playback timing of the Fantom-G and the external device in a minute units.

Value: 0059 minutes

MTC Offset Time Second Coordinates the playback timing of the Fantom-G and the external device in a second units.

Value: 0059 seconds

MTC Offset Time Frame Coordinates the playback timing of the Fantom-G and the external device in a frame units.

Value: 0029 frames (The maximum value will depend on the frame rate setting.)

MTC Error Level Determines how often the reception status is checked when MTC is being received from an external device. Stop synchronization if a problem becomes apparent with the check.

Value: 010 (the checking interval will be longer for larger values)

In strict terms, the lower the numerical value set, the more accurate the check is. However, playback may be stopped overly frequently if too rigorous a check is made, and this soon becomes inconvenient. By raising the Error Level setting, then even if problems with the reception of MTC do occur, synchronization can then continue as long as such problems remain at a level that does not cause undue problems.

Types of MTC The types of MTC that can be selected by the Fantom-G are shown below. Select the same frame rate as that set for the external device. When not using a video device, then any frame rate may be selected as long as the rates are the same on both devices being synchronized.

30: This is 30 frames per second, non-drop format. This is used by audio devices such as analog tape recorders, and for NTSC format black and white video (used in Japan and the U.S.).

29N: This is 29.97 frames per second, non-drop format. This is used for NTSC format color video (used in Japan and the U.S.).

29D: 29.97 frames per second drop format. This is used for NTSC format color video (used in Japan and the U.S.).

25: 25 frame per second frame rate. This is used for SECAM or PAL format video, audio equipment, and film (used in Europe and elsewhere).

24: 24 frame per second frame rate. This is used for video, audio devices, and film in the US.

Non-Drop Format and Drop Format There are two types of format used by NTSC video cassette recorders, non-drop and drop. Non-drop format features continuous time code, whereas in drop format, which is used for NTSC color video format, the first two frames of every minute are dropped, except for those at ten-minute intervals. In most video and audio production, since formats with continuous frames are easier to deal with, non-drop is generally used. In contrast, in situations such as in broadcast, where the time code must match actual clock time, drop format is used.

Metronome Sound

Using the Local Switch If youre using external sequencer software in conjunction with the Fantom-Gs keyboard/controllers and sound generator, you should turn the Local switch OFF for the reasons explained below.

Connecting the Fantom-G to an external sequencer fig.25-003b_50

Typically, things are hooked up so the data travels as follows: the Fantom-Gs keyboard your external sequencer software the Fantom-Gs sound generator. Normally, the Fantom-Gs keyboard section is internally connected to its sound generator section; this internal connection is controlled by the Local Switch. If you turn the Local Switch off, the Fantom-Gs keyboard and sound generator sections will be independent, allowing you to use the connection described above with your external sequencer software.

Output Gain This adjusts the output gain from the Fantom-Gs Analog Out and Digital Out. When, for example, there are relatively few voices being sounded, boosting the output gain can let you attain the most suitable output level for recording and other purposes.

Value: -12 +12

Mix/Parallel Specifies how the sound of the entire Fantom-G will be output.

Value

MIX: Set this to have the collective output of all sounds output from the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks. When you want to check the final overall sound being output, set to MIX.

Sounds which are set in the respective Output Assign to be output from the INDIVIDUAL 3 jack are output from the left OUTPUT A (MIX) jack; sounds which are set to be output from the INDIVIDUAL 4 jack are output from the right OUTPUT A (MIX) jack.

Sounds output from the PHONES jack are the same as those output from the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks. Therefore, any sounds set with Output Assign to be output from the OUTPUT B jacks is not output from the PHONES jack. Be sure to have any sound you want to hear through the headphones set to MIX.

PARALLEL: Output according to each Output Assign settings.

Master Key Shift Shifts the overall pitch of the Fantom-G in semitone steps.

Value: -24 +24

Patch Remain (Patch Remain Switch) Specifies whether currently sounding notes will continue sounding when another patch or rhythm set is selected (ON), or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

* When in Studio mode: Depending on the effect settings, currently

sounding notes may not remain in some cases.

* When in Single mode or Live mode: The Patch Remain function is

valid only for the most recently selected sound. Notes of a sound

selected earlier may be interrupted.

* The Patch Remain setting does not apply to sounds of an expansion

board.

Control Remain (Control Remain Switch) Specifies whether changes in the sound and volume produced by received MIDI data such as volume and pan (CC 5, 7, 10, 65, 68, 71 74, RPN 0, 1, 2, MONO ON, POLY ON) and by the various controllers will be maintained (ON) or not maintained (OFF) when you select another patch or rhythm set.

Value: OFF, ON

How Do I Adjust the Volume? MASTER LEVEL adjusts the volume of both the OUTPUT A jacks and the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. The front panel VOLUME knob adjusts only the volume of the OUTPUT A jacks. Heres an explanation of what you need to adjust depending on the output jacks youre using. fig.25-003_50

When using the OUTPUT A jacks: adjust using the VOLUME knob

The front panel VOLUME knob controls the volume of the OUTPUT A jacks. This means that if youre outputting from the OUTPUT A jacks, the simplest way is to leave the Master Level fixed at 127 (the default setting), and use the VOLUME knob to control the volume.

When using the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack: adjust using Master Level

Master Level controls both the OUTPUT A jacks and the DIGITAL AUDIO OUT jack. This means that if youre outputting from DIGITAL OUT, use Master Level to adjust the volume.

The Master Level setting is temporary, and will be lost when you turn off the power. If you want to keep the Master Level setting you edited, save the master level in the internal system memory. Saving the System

Scale Tune

Preview

Equal Temperament This tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is the most widely used method of temperament used in Western music. The Fantom-G employs equal temperament when the Scale Tune Switch is set to OFF.

Just Temperament (Tonic of C) Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads sound pure in this tuning. However, this effect is achieved only in one key, and the triads will become ambiguous if you transpose.

Arabian Scale In this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#, F# and G# are a quarter-note higher compared to equal temperament. The intervals between G and B, C and E, F and G#, Bb and C#, and Eb and F# have a natural thirdthe interval between a major third and a minor third. On the Fantom-G, you can use Arabian temperament in the three keys of G, C and F.

System Ctrl

System Control This function, which departs from previously used methods, and instead allows you to use MIDI messages to change tone settings in realtime, is called the Matrix Control (p. 109). Similarly, the function allowing you to use MIDI messages to change multi-effects settings in realtime is called the Multi-effects Control (p. 158). Normally, the Matrix Control is used for making patch settings, and the Multi-effects Control for making settings to patches, rhythm sets, sample sets, live sets and studio sets. However, if you do not need to change the MIDI messages used for matrix control or multi-effects control by each patch/rhythm set/sample set/live set/studio set, or if you want to use a specific MIDI message for matrix control or multi-effects control, you will want to make use of System Control. In other words, you could call the System Controls global Matrix Control/Multi-effects Control for the entire Fantom-G. You can use up to four System Controls.

V-LINK ( ) is a function that allows music and images to be performed together. By using MIDI to connect two or more V- LINK compatible devices, you can easily enjoy performing a wide range of visual effects that are linked to the expressive elements of a music performance. For example, if you use the Fantom-G in conjunction with the motion dive .tokyo Performance Package, youll be able to do the following.

Use the Fantom-Gs synthesizer to produce synchronized music and video performances.

Play the Fantom-Gs keyboard, pads or sequencer to switch images on the motion dive .tokyo Performance Package.

Use the Fantom-Gs 14 knobs and D Beam controller to control the brightness or hue of an image.

In order to use V-LINK between the Fantom-G and the motion dive .tokyo Performance Package, youll need to make connections using a MIDI cable (sold separately).

As an example, we will use a setup in which the Fantom-G is connected to the motion dive .tokyo Performance Package. Use a MIDI cable to connect the Fantom-Gs MIDI OUT connector to the MIDI IN connector of the Edirol MD-P1.

To prevent malfunction or speaker damage, minimize the volume on all your equipment and turn off the power before you make connections.

Installing the Expansion Board

Up to two optional Expansion Boards (ARX series; sold separately) can be installed in the Fantom-G.

To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following whenever you handle the board.

1 Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged.

2 When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of the electronic components or connectors.

5 Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.

Use a Phillips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw (a number 2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is used, the head of the screw may be stripped.

To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten the screws, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.

When installing Expansion Boards, remove only the specified screws.

Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the Fantom-G.

Do not leave the bottom cover removed. After installation of the Expansion Boards is complete, be sure to replace the cover.

Be careful not to cut your hand on the opening for installing the board.

Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.

912 Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it

doesnt fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.

913 When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your

work. 914

Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before attempting installation of the circuit board (ARX series).

915 Install only the specified circuit board(s) (ARX series). Remove

only the specified screws.

When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.

When turning the Fantom-G8 upside-down, at least two persons are required to safely lift and turn the Fantom-G8. Make sure to have a firm grip, to protect yourself from injury and the instrument from damage.

When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.

Install the Expansion Boards after removing the panel cover. Boards can be installed in the EXP 1EXP 2 slots.

If the slot in which an expansion board is installed differs from the slot in which the board was installed when you saved the live set or studio set (i.e., if you moved the expansion board to a different slot), it will not sound the same as when you saved the data. You must install the expansion board in the same slot it occupied when you saved the live set or studio set.

1. Before installing the Expansion Board, turn off the power of the Fantom-G and all connected devices, and disconnect all cables, including the Power cable, from the Fantom-G.

2. From the Fantom-G, remove only the screws shown in the following diagram, and detach the cover.

fig.30-002.e

3. Insert the two tabs on the instrument into the holes of the expansion board so that the connectors of the instrument and expansion board are aligned.

* Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.

4. Press in the expansion board in the direction shown by the photo.

* Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it doesnt

fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.

5. Press firmly inward until the tabs on the instrument lock into the holes of the expansion board.

6. Use the screws that you removed in step 2 to fasten the cover back in place.

To remove an expansion board, reverse the process by which you inserted it.

1. Unlatch the Fantom-Gs tabs.

2. Slowly raise the expansion board upright.

3. Pull out the expansion board by reversing step 3 of the installation process.

4. Attach the cover by reversing step 2 of the installation process.

After youve finished installing an expansion board into the Fantom- G, you must perform the following procedure.

Youll perform this procedure only once, the first time you turn on the power after inserting an expansion board.

1. Turn on the power as described in Turning On the Power (p. 28).

2. When the Fantom-G starts up, an install confirmation screen for the newly inserted expansion board will appear. Press [F8 (Execute)] to execute the install confirmation process.

If you decide to cancel, press [F7 (Cancel)].

If the install confirmation screen does not appear when you start up for the first time, it is possible that the expansion board was not detected correctly. Reinstall the expansion board correctly.

This process will require several minutes. Never turn off the power until this process has been completed.

3. When the screen indicates that installation has been completed, turn the power off, and then on again.

This completes the installation process.

Expanding the DIMM Memory

d

The Fantom-G comes with 32 MB of memory into which audio samples can be loaded. However, in some cases, 32 MB of memory will be insufficient for loading large amounts of data. In such a case, you will have to add separately sold memory (DIMM). Memory can be expanded up to 128/256/512 MB.

Specifications of the expansion memory (DIMM) that can be used

Supports PC133, CL=2/3, 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB (3.3 V)

Number of pins: 168-pin

Board height: 40 mm or less

The Fantom-G has been confirmed to work with standard memory that meets the above specifications. However, we cannot guarantee that all memory of these specifications will work correctly. Please be aware that even with identical specifications, differences in the design of the memory module or the conditions of use may mean that a memory module may not be usable.

901 Always turn the unit off and unplug the power cord before attempting installation of the memory DIMM board.

To avoid the risk of damage to internal components that can be caused by static electricity, please carefully observe the following whenever you handle the board.

1 Before you touch the board, always first grasp a metal object (such as a water pipe), so you are sure that any static electricity you might have been carrying has been discharged.

2 When handling the board, grasp it only by its edges. Avoid touching any of the electronic components or connectors.

5 Save the bag in which the board was originally shipped, and put the board back into it whenever you need to store or transport it.

Use a Phillips screwdriver that is suitable for the size of the screw (a number 2 screwdriver). If an unsuitable screwdriver is used, the head of the screw may be stripped.

To remove a screw, rotate the screwdriver counter-clockwise. To tighten the screws, rotate the screwdriver clockwise.

Be careful that the screws you remove do not drop into the interior of the Fantom-G.

Be careful not to cut your hand on the edge of the cover or the opening edge while removing the cover.

Do not touch any of the printed circuit pathways or connection terminals.

Never use excessive force when installing a circuit board. If it doesnt fit properly on the first attempt, remove the board and try again.

When circuit board installation is complete, double-check your work.

Install only the specified memory DIMM board. Remove only the specified screws.

When turning the unit upside-down, get a bunch of newspapers or magazines, and place them under the four corners or at both ends to prevent damage to the buttons and controls. Also, you should try to orient the unit so no buttons or controls get damaged.

When turning the Fantom-G8 upside-down, at least two persons are required to safely lift and turn the Fantom-G8. Make sure to have a firm grip, to protect yourself from injury and the instrument from damage.

When turning the unit upside-down, handle with care to avoid dropping it, or allowing it to fall or tip over.

Do not leave the bottom cover removed. After installation of the memory module is complete, be sure to replace the cover.

Install the memory module after removing the bottom panel cover.

1. Before expanding the memory, turn off the power of the Fantom-G and all connected devices, and disconnect all cables, including the Power cord, from the Fantom-G.

Troubleshooting

If the Fantom-G does not function in the way you expect, first check the following points. If this does not resolve the problem, consult your dealer or a nearby Roland Service Station.

* If any sort of message is being displayed on the screen during an

operation, refer to Error Messages (p. 318).

The power does not turn on.

Make sure that the Fantom-Gs AC cord is connected correctly

to its power inlet and to the AC outlet (p. 25).

Turning the VOLUME knob doesnt change the volume.

If youre using the DIGITAL OUT, the VOLUME knob will not

change the volume. Adjust the Master Level (p. 293).

There is no sound.

Check the following points.

Is the power for connected amps and speakers turned on? Is the volume turned all the way down?

Is the VOLUME knob turned all the way down?

Have connections been made correctly?

Can you hear sound through headphones?

If there is sound in the headphones, it is possible that the connection cables are broken, or that your amp/mixer has malfunctioned. Check your cables and amp/mixer system once again.

If you do not hear sound when you play the keyboard, check whether the Local Switch is turned OFF.

Make sure that the Local Switch parameter is turned on (p. 293).

Have all tones in the patch been turned off?

Turn the Tone Switch on From the Single Play screen, press [F8 (Tone Sw/Sel)].

Could the current part be set to External Part (external MIDI output)?

The Part level settings may be too low.

Access the Level parameter, and check the level of each part (p. 134).

Are the Effect settings correct?

Check the Effect settings ON or OFF, the Effect Balance or Level. (p. 150).

Are the settings for the output destination correct?

Check the various output assign settings (p. 136).

Is the Expansion Board properly installed?

When selecting the settings that stipulate the use of EXP 1, 2 sound, check that the specified Expansion Board is installed properly in the specified slot (p. 304, p. 306).

Has the volume been lowered by pedal operations or by MIDI messages (volume messages or expression messages) received

from an external MIDI device?

Could the Favorite Level be set to 0? (p. 54)

In the case of Live/Studio mode, the value of volume messages (Volume) and expression messages (Expression) can be viewed in the Part Information window (p. 132).

Have the samples been loaded correctly? (p. 264)

A specific Part does not sound...

Check the following points.

Has the volume level of the part been lowered?

Adjust the Level parameter to raise the volume of the part that is not heard (p. 134).

Is the part being muted?

Set the Mute Switch parameter to OFF (p. 134).

Specific pitch ranges do not sound...

Has a restricted range of notes been set?

If a specific range of notes does not sound, check the Key Range settings for the Patch Tone, the Live/Studio Set Part.

Sounds will be interrupted if more than 128 voices are used

simultaneously.

Reduce the number of Tones that you are using.

Increase the Voice Reserve setting for parts that must not drop out. (p. 141)

When I play the keyboard, notes do not stop.

Is the pedal polarity of the Hold Pedal reversed?

Check the Hold Pedal Polarity parameter setting (p. 287).

When I press a pad, the sound does not stop sounding.

Could the [HOLD] pad be lit?

Press the [HOLD] pad once again so the light goes out.

The sound is interrupted when I switch studio sets in Studio

mode.

The Fantom-G can use multi-effects to apply a wide variety of

effects, and when you switch studio sets, the multi-effect type specified by the patch will also change. In Studio mode, the sound may be interrupted when this occurs. If you want to switch sounds without interruption while you perform, please use Live mode or Single mode.

The sound is interrupted when I switch patches in Single mode

or Live mode.

If you turn the Patch Remain parameter (p. 294) ON, youll be

able to switch patches without interrupting the sound. However, this function applies only to the most recently selected sound; notes of a sound selected prior to that will be interrupted.

When switching Patches in Single mode, the volume and other

parameters set with Control Changes end up being reset.

Set Control Remain parameter (p. 294) to ON. Even once they

have switched Patches, Control Change messages that have been received are carried forward, so even when switching a Patch whose level is turned all the way down by a Control Change volume message, the level remains unchanged.

If the Tone Delay time value is set to the note, then does the

delay time not change beyond a fixed length when the tempo is slowed down?

There is a maximum permissible value for the Delay Time

parameter (p. 103). So, if the time setting is specified in terms of a note value, and the tempo is slowed down, this maximum permissible value will be reached, and it cannot be increased further. The upper time limit for each is the maximum value that can be set other than the numerical value for the beat.

Even when I set the Pan for a Patch completely to one side,

sound still comes from the other channel...

The Fantom-Gs internal effects are in stereo, so if you have

effects applied to a Patch, even if the Pan is set all the way to one side, you will still be able to hear sounds of the effect component from the other channel.

Sometimes, when playing legato, the pitch wont rise. Why is

this?

When the Legato Switch parameter (p. 105) is ON, and the

Legato Retrigger parameter (p. 105) is OFF, and you hold down keys in the high register to play legato, the upper pitch limit of the wave may be exceeded, so that the pitch does not rise as far as you expect, but will stop rising at a certain point. Additionally, if differing upper pitch limits are used for the waves of a Patch that uses multiple tones, it may stop being heard in MONO. When making large pitch changes, set the Legato Retrigger parameter to ON.

The notes sound strange in the upper registers of the keyboard.

Sometimes when playing the keys in the upper part of the

Fantom-Gs keyboard, the sound may stop, or the pitch may stop rising; or with certain keys, there may be intermittent noise. This occurs mainly when the Fantom-Gs upper pitch limit is exceeded, so this issue doesnt arise in the ranges normally used. But, in any case, it does not indicate a malfunction.

The same patch sounds different depending on the sound

generator mode.

In Live/Studio mode, the parameters of each part of the Live/

Studio Set can apply further modification to parameters such as pan, octave, and filter, relative to the settings specified by the patch. Thus, Patches in a Live/Studio Set may sound different than they do when heard in Single mode. To return these settings to their initial conditions, select the Patch after execute Factory Reset Temporary for the Live/Studio Set. (p. 280)

The volume level of the instrument connected to Fantom-G is

too low.

Check the following points.

Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor? Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.

Check the Input Setting (p. 258).

Troubleshooting

Fantom-G_r_e.book 314

Effects not applied.

Check the following points.

The PFX,MFX1,MFX2, CHO, REV or MASTER effect switches located in the upper part of the PLAY screen may have been turned off.

Press [EFFECTS (ROUTING)] to turn them on.

Are the various effect settings correct? (p. 150)

If the send level of each effect is set to 0, the effect will not be applied. Check the settings.

Even with send levels to each effect set at 0, effects are not applied if the Multi-effects Output Level, the Chorus Level, or the Reverb Level is set to 0. Check each setting.

If Output Assign is set to other than MFX, the Multi-effects sound will not be output.

Could the system parameter Master Reverb Level be set to 0?

The Modulation or other controller is always on.

Check the Matrix Controller settings. (p. 109)

The Fantom-G allows you to use the Matrix Control to control Patches in real time. The Matrix Control functions as the control source for the Control Change and other MIDI messages received by the Fantom-G, and makes changes to the various Patch parameters based on these messages.

Depending on these settings, the Fantom-G may be responding to MIDI messages sent from external MIDI devices, and may result the Patches sounding different than intended.

Raising the chorus or reverb send level for each part of a Live/

Studio Set still does not cause the effect to be applied sufficiently.

Although you can make Send level settings to the Chorus and

Reverb for each individual Part in a Live/Studio Set, these values only set the upper limit of the Chorus and Reverb Send levels for the Patch used. Accordingly, even when the value is set to the maximum of 127, if the Send level is lowered in the Patch being used, there will be no effect. If you want to apply the effect deeply, edit the settings of the patch.

Using the Matrix Control or other such means to control the

LFO results in noise when the Pan is changed suddenly.

Lower the change in speed (LFO Rate).

Due to the specialized processing used for the Pan, which alters the volume level in each of the left and right sides, sudden Pan movements causing rapid changes in these levels creates large changes in volume, and noise from this may be audible as a result.

Multi-effect 43: TAP DELAY or other delay time value is set to the note, and then the tempo is slowed down, does the delay time not change beyond a fixed length?

Such Delay time settings have an upper limit, so if the upper

limit of a value set to the note is exceeded when the tempo is retarded, that upper value cannot rise any further. The upper time limit for each is the maximum value that can be set other than the numerical value for the beat.

The Live/Studio Set sounds different than when it was written.

Check the following points.

If you have modified the settings of a patch used by a Live/ Studio Set, or if the temporary patch of the Live/Studio Set has been modified by an external MIDI device, these patches must also be saved.

If patches used by a Live/Studio Set have been edited when you write that Live/Studio Set, the Fantom-G will display a message asking whether you want to discard these patches. In such cases, first save the patch (p. 88) or rhythm set (p. 116), and then save the Live/Studio Set (p. 148) again.

The Mastering Effect settings may have changed. (These settings are not stored as part of a Live set.)

The MFX settings may have changed. (These settings are not stored as part of a Live set.)

An expansion board sound seems different from when I saved

(wrote) it.

If the expansion board is inserted in a different slot than when

you saved the live set or studio set, it will not sound with the settings of when it was saved. You must insert the expansion board in the same slot as when you saved the live set or studio set.

Patches sound different than when written.

Check the following points.

If you used control changes from an external MIDI device to modify the sound, writing the sound will not save it in its modified state.

The Mastering Effect settings may have changed. (These settings are not stored as part of a patch.)

The Arpeggio and D Beam controller settings in the Live/

Studio Mode are different than those for the Live/Studio Set.

Since the Fantom-G stores arpeggio and D Beam controller

settings for each Live/Studio Set, it will operate according to the arpeggio and D Beam controller settings that were specified for each Live/Studio Set.

Set the Rx GM System ON/Rx GM2 System ON parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI) to ON (p. 295).

Are you trying to start playback from midway through the song?

The beginning of a GM score song contains a General MIDI/ General MIDI 2 System On message. In some cases, a GM Score cannot be played back correctly unless this message is received.

Are you trying to play song data designed for the GS Format?

Data created exclusively for the Sound Canvas Series may not play back properly on the Fantom-G.

After recording, the song does not sound when I play it back.

Have the tracks been muted?

Defeat muting (p. 134).

The tempo is different than the last time I played back the song.

If a song is played back after the tempo is changed, then the

new tempo is not saved unless the song is saved to the user memory or USB memory. Conversely, the previous tempo will be erased when you save the song. When saving songs, carefully check the current tempo.

Sound Device Tones Are Switched Arbitrarily.

Use the Microscope (p. 250) to check the following points.

Has an unneeded program change been input?

Were any mistakes made in setting the data MIDI channels when Program Change messages were input?

Data supposed to be present does not appear in microscope.

Check the following points.

In View Select (p. 252), is any data set not to be displayed?

After using a MIDI sequencer to play a song, sounds stopped

playing, and no sound is played even when Program Changes are sent.

It could be that a Bank Select in the song data that is not

specified by the Fantom-G was encountered in the song. No sound is played if the tone group is not one designated by the Fantom-G with Bank Select MSB/LSB. Note that if you omit the Bank Select, and send only the Program Change, the tone in the currently selected group that has the specified Program Change number will play. Try resettling the tone using the panel controls. Furthermore, when selecting tones from an external MIDI device, be sure to send the Bank Select MSB/LSB and the Program Change as a single set for reliable reproduction. First sending the MSB and LSB (the order in which these are sent does not matter), followed by the Program Change.

In some cases, you may be unable to hear any sound after playing the last song that was faded-out. This may be because the volume has been lowered by volume messages or expression messages. Check the value of these messages, and set them to appropriate values.

Performances are sluggish, or have interruptions.

Problems of sluggish and interrupted performances can crop up

very easily when the sequencer or sound generator used for the performance has to handle heavy data loads.

Main causes and possible corrective measures are considered below.

Are more than 128 voices playing simultaneously?

Reduce the number of voices. With certain sounds like continuous sounds with long releases, even though the actual sound may not be audible to you, processing for playing the sound is still underway, so in these cases as well, the performance data can differ from the actual number of voices being played.

In the Part Information window you can check the number of notes for which sound is actually being processed (p. 132).

Are you using a Patch that uses a lot of LFO?

Try changing to a different Patch. LFO processing invariably places a big load on the machine, so heavy use of the LFO slows down processing for the Fantom-G overall, which can end up having affecting the expression of sounds themselves.

Is the data concentrated at the beginning of the beats in the sequence data?

Avoid overlapping data with the same timing by setting an offset of 12 tick instead. Data may easily become concentrated at the beginning of the beats in the song data when, for example, the song data is input using Step Recording, or if the data is quantized after being input with a keyboard in real time. Because of this, large amounts of data are sent to the Fantom-G, and the processing for expressing sounds becomes bogged down.

Troubleshooting

Fantom-G_r_e.book 316

Is there a Program Change at the point where the song performance is sluggish?

Change the position of the Program Change. When Program Changes are inserted in songs, processing time for switching patches increases, which may then cause the performance to become sluggish.

Is there a System Exclusive message at the point where the song performance is sluggish?

Move the location of the data. System Exclusive messages contain large amounts of data, thus placing a heavy burden on sequencers and sound modules. Try repositioning data and changing System Exclusive messages to Control Changes for any data for which Control Changes can be substituted.

Is there an Aftertouch or other such large Control Change at the point where the song performance is sluggish?

If the data is no longer needed, delete the data. In some cases, when using a keyboard that features aftertouch to input data, you may end up inputting huge amounts of data before realizing this is happening. Such large amounts of data can place an excessive load on your sequencer and sound module.

You can use the Phrase Modify operation Data Thin (p. 248) to thin out unwanted messages.

No Sound from connected MIDI device.

Check the following points.

In Live/Studio Mode

KBD switch (p. 61, p. 69)

* Could the Keyboard Switch be turned off for the external part that is

transmitting data to your external MIDI device? (p. 135)

Exclusive messages are not received.

Check the following points.

Is the instrument set to receive Exclusive messages?

Set the Rx Exclusive parameter to ON (p. 295).

Does the Device ID number of the transmitting device match the Device ID number of the Fantom-G?

Check the Device ID parameter (p. 295).

I connected an external sequencer or MIDI keyboard to the

MIDI IN connector, and attempted to play a Fantom-G rhythm set, but there was no sound. Why?

Check to make sure that the MIDI Transmit channel of the

external MIDI device and the Fantom-Gs MIDI Receive channel are matched.

When the Bend Range for a Patch is increased (48), the pitch

does not rise sufficiently, even when a MIDI Pitch Bend message is received.

While Patch Bend Ranges can be set anywhere between 0 and

48, when certain Waves in which the pitch is raised (in the + direction) are used, the pitch may stop rising at a fixed point, rather than continuing to go up. Although a value of 12 is ensured for the upper limit of raised pitches, use caution when setting the Bend Range above this figure.

External input sound cannot be heard/volume is too low.

Check the following points.

Could [MIX IN] be unlit?

Press [MIX IN] so it is lit.

The level of the external input may be lowered.

When you sample, use the EXT SOURCE VOLUME knob to adjust the level appropriately.

Hold down [SHIFT] and press [MIX IN] to access the Input Setting screen, and check the Level settings.

The volume of the device connected to AUDIO INPUT may be lowered.

Adjust it to an appropriate level.

Are the audio cables connected correctly?

Check the connections.

An audio cable may be broken.

Could you be using an audio cable with a built-in resistor?

Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor (e.g., Roland PCS series).

External input sound is not stereo/is not monaural.

Check the following points.

Stereo Switch parameter (p. 260) may be set to monaural.

Hold down [SHIFT] and press [MIX IN] to access the Input Setting screen. Could the Input Select parameter be set to LINE IN L, or Microphone?

Mic sound is not output/is too weak.

Check the following points.

Is the mic cable connected correctly?

Check the connection.

The mic cable may be broken.

The input source may be set to something other than mic.

Hold down [SHIFT] and press [MIX IN] to access the Input Setting screen, and set Input Select to Microphone.

The mic level may have been lowered.

When sampling, use the EXT SOURCE LEVEL knob to adjust the level appropriately.

Could you have connected a condenser mic?

If youre using a condenser mic, youll need to provide phantom power.

Turn the MIC/GUITAR switch PHANTOM ON. (p. 24)

Could the MIC/GUITAR switch be in a position GUITAR?

Set the INPUT gain select switch to PHANTOM ON or PHANTOM OFF. (p. 24)

Cant record a sample.

Check the following points.

Is there enough memory capacity?

If there is insufficient sample memory, a message of Sample Memory Full! will appear when you attempt to sample. (p. 264)

Erase unneeded samples to increase the amount of free space.

If there is still not enough, install additional memory (DIMM modules). (p. 308, p. 310)

Sampled sound contains excessive noise or distortion.

Check the following points.

Is the input level appropriate? If the input level is too high, the sampled sound will be distorted. If it is too low, noise will be heard. When sampling, turn the LEVEL knob in the Sampling Standby screen (p. 260) to adjust the level while watching the level meter displayed in the upper part of the display. Adjust the level so that the CLIP indication in the upper right of the display does not appear.

Are the effect settings appropriate?

Some types of effect may increase the level louder than the original sample, or may intentionally distort the sound. Some effects will also cause noise to be emphasized.

Temporarily turn off effects, and check whether the sample itself contains noise or distortion. Then adjust the effect settings appropriately.

Are multiple samples being played simultaneously?

Even if the level of each individual sample is appropriate, simultaneously playing multiple samples may cause the overall level to be excessively high, causing distortion. Lower the level of each sample so that the sound is not distorted.

Cant save sampled data.

Check the following points.

It may be that there is insufficient space in internal memory or USB memory.

USB memory is not detected.

The files are not shown.

Check the format of your USB memory. (p. 280)

The Fantom-G can use USB memory that has been formatted as FAT.

If your USB memory was formatted using any other method, please re-format it using FAT.

Cant save to USB memory.

Check the following points.

Could the USB memory be write protected?

Is there sufficient free space on the USB memory?

The Fantom-G is not recognized by my computer.

You must connect the Fantom-G to a computer whose USB port

supports USB 2.0 Hi-Speed connections.

MIDI (Musical Instruments Digital Interface) is a standard specification that allows musical data to be exchanged between electronic musical instruments and computers. MIDI With a MIDI cable connecting MIDI devices that are equipped with MIDI connectors, you can play multiple instruments with a single keyboard, have multiple MIDI instruments perform in ensemble, program the settings to change automatically to match the performance as the song progresses, and more.

If you mainly use the Fantom-G as a standalone keyboard instrument, you may really not need to know much at all about MIDI.

However, the following MIDI-related information is provided so you can play the Fantom-G using an external MIDI device, or master other advanced techniques.

About MIDI Connectors The Fantom-G is equipped with the three types of MIDI connectors, each which works differently. fig.33-003

MIDI IN Connector This connector receives MIDI messages that are transmitted from external MIDI devices. The Fantom-G can receive these messages to play notes or select sounds, etc.

MIDI OUT Connector This connector transmits MIDI messages to external MIDI devices. The Fantom-Gs MIDI OUT connector is used for sending the performance data of the keyboard controller section as well as data used for saving various settings and patterns.

MIDI THRU Connector MIDI messages received at MIDI IN are re-transmitted without change from this connector to an external MIDI device. Use this in situations such as when you use multiple MIDI devices simultaneously.

MIDI Channels and Multi-timbral Sound Generators MIDI transmits many types of data over a single MIDI cable. This is made possible by the concept of MIDI channels. MIDI channels allow messages intended for a given instrument to be distinguished from messages intended for another instrument. In some ways, MIDI channels are similar to television channels. By changing the channel on a television set, you can view the programs that are being broadcast by different stations. In the same way, MIDI also allows a device to select the information intended for that device out of the variety of information that is being transmitted to it.

fig.33-004.e

MIDI uses sixteen channels; 1 through 16. Set the receiving device so that it will receive only the channel that it needs to receive.

Example:

Set the Fantom-G to send Channel 1 and Channel 2, then set sound module A to receive only Channel 1 and sound module B only Channel 2. With this setup, you can get an ensemble performance, with, for example, a guitar sound from sound module A and bass from sound module B. fig.33-005.e

When used as a sound module, the Fantom-G can receive on up to sixteen MIDI channels. Sound modules like the Fantom-G which can receive multiple MIDI channels simultaneously to play different sounds on each channel are called multi-timbral sound modules.

The cable from the antenna carries the TV signals from many broadcast stations.

The TV is set to the channel of the station you wish to watch.

General MIDI General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files that meet the General MIDI standard bear the General MIDI

logo ( ). Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be

played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit to produce essentially the same musical performance.

General MIDI 2 The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 ( )

recommendations pick up where the original General MIDI left off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities, and even greater compatibility. Issues that were not covered by the original General MIDI recommendations, such as how sounds are to be edited, and how effects should be handled, have now been precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have been expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are capable of reliably playing back music files that carry either the General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.

In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which does not include the new enhancements, is referred to as General MIDI 1 as a way of distinguishing it from General MIDI 2.
