Creating a Rhythm Set

With the Fantom VS, you have total control over a wide

variety of settings. Each item that can be set is known as a

parameter

. This chapter explains the procedures used in

creating rhythm sets, and the functions of the rhythm set

parameters.

This section explains the functions the different rhythm set

parameters have, as well as the composition of these

parameters.

Rhythm Level applies to the entire rhythm set; the other

parameters are set individually for each rhythm tone.

Rhythm General

Rhythm Level (Rhythm Set Level)

Sets the volume of the rhythm set.

Value:

0–127

The volume levels of the tones from which the rhythm

set is composed is set with the Tone Level parameter (p.

133). The volume levels of the Waves from which the

rhythm tone is composed is set with the Wave Level

parameter (p. 128).

Rhythm Tone Name

You can assign a name of up to 12 characters to the rhythm

tone.

Value:

space, A-Z, a-z, 0-9, ! " # $ % & ’ ( ) * + , - . / : ; < = > ?

@ [ \ ] ^ _ ` { | }

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,

1–31

Tone Env Mode (Rhythm Tone Envelope Mode)

When a loop waveform 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 the One Shot Mode (p. 126) is ON, it will not sustain

even if this parameter is set to “SUST.”
