Playing in Patch Mode
Portamento is an effect which smoothly changes the pitch from the
first-played key to the next-played key. By applying portamento
when Mono mode is selected (see the preceding item), you can
simulate performance effects such as slurring on a violin.
1. Press [PATCH/RHYTHM] to access the Patch Play screen.
2. Press [F7 (Part Kbd)] to move the cursor to the keyboard
part.
3. Press [PATCH EDIT] to access the Patch Edit screen.
4. Press [F1 ( ⇑ )] or [F2 ( ⇓ )] to select the “Solo/Porta” tab.
A screen like the one shown below appears.

When you press [F7 (Zoom Edit)], the Solo Synth Zoom Edit
screen will appear, which displays the above parameters in
graphical fashion, simulating an analog synthesizer. To exit
from this screen, press [F8 (Exit)] or [EXIT].
5. Press or to move the cursor to “Portamento
Switch.”
6. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC] to select “ON.”
You’re ready to play portamento.
7. When you want to change the portamento setting, edit the
following parameters in the screen of step 6.
Portamento Mode, Portamento Type, Portamento Start,
Portamento Time
See p. 77 for each parameter’s functions.
8. Press [EXIT] to return to the Patch Play screen and play.
If you assign “Portamento” as a function to be controlled by the
assignable switches ([ ]/[ ]), you can use a button to
easily turn portamento on/off (p. 125).
The Fantom-X lets you assign the parameters that will be affected
when you operate the realtime control knobs, assignable switches, D
Beam, pitch bend, or modulation lever. This lets you modify the
sound in a variety of ways by operating the controllers.
You can specify whether operating the controller will affect the
sound assigned to the keyboard part or the sound assigned to the
pad part.
1. Press [PATCH/RHYTHM] to access the Patch Play screen.
2. Press [F4 (Ctrl Setting)].
