Using the Pads
Quick Setup
This lets you make basic pad settings. For the greatest efficiency, use
Quick Setup to choose the settings that are closest to what you have
in mind. Then make the necessary changes for each pad.
1. In the PAD SETTING screen, press [F2 (QUICK SETUP)].
The Quick Setup window appears.
fig.QuickSetup
* This won’t work if the Rhythm Pattern function is turned on. In order
to make these settings, you’ll need to press [RHYTHM] to turn off the
Rhythm Pattern function.
2. Press to select the parameter.
3. Use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to make settings.
Here’s how to exchange the sound of two selected pads.
* This setting exchanges the note numbers transmitted by the pads.
1. In the PAD SETTING screen, press [F5 (EXCHG)].
The PAD EXCHANGE screen appears.
fig.PadExchg
2. Press to move the cursor, and select the number of
a pad you want to exchange.
Use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC], or press a pad directly to
make your selection.
3. Press [F6 (EXEC)] to execute.
4. Press [F5 (EXIT)] to return to the previous screen.
You can save one set of settings as System settings for Patch mode.
Press [F6 (WRITE)] to save the settings.
If you make settings in Performance mode, the pad settings will also
be saved when you save the performance. This means that in
Performance mode, you can have separate pad settings for each
performance.
For details on how to save a performance, refer to Saving a
Performance You’ve Created (Write) (p. 72).
The Fantom-Xa lets you assign a previously recorded phrase to a
pad as a pattern, and play it by pressing that pad. For details, refer to
Playing a Phrase at the Touch of a Finger (RPS) (p. 154).
The Fantom-Xa lets you assign rhythm patterns and/or rhythm
sounds to the pads and play them by pressing the pads. For details,
refer to
Playing Rhythms (p. 94).
Parameter Explanation
Template Set Note: The nine consecutive note numbers start-
ing at the Base Note will be automatically as-
signed to the pads.
Rhythm: The note numbers will be arranged in
the most suitable way for playing a rhythm set.
Multi Velo: Assigns the very same note number
to each of the nine pads—but with differing ve-
locities.
This is convenient if you need precise control
of the velocity while you play.
