Modifying the Sound in Real Time
Pad Control Mode
This specifies how the D Beam will behave when it is obstructed. If
this is set to MOMENTARY, the parameter will be on only while the
D Beam is obstructed, and will turn off when you stop obstructing it.
If this is set to LATCH, the parameter will alternately be switched
on/off each time you obstruct the D Beam.
Value: MOMENTARY, LATCH
PAD trigger settings are saved independently for each
performance as part of the performance settings. This lets you
create performances that make effective use of controller
settings.
If Patch mode is selected, this is saved as part of the system
settings. If you want to save the settings, press [F8 (System
Write)].
Solo Synth
On the Fantom-X you can play a monophonic synthesizer whose
pitch is controlled by the D Beam.
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press D BEAM [SOLO SYNTH].
The Solo Synth screen appears.
fig.10-006_50
When you press [F6 (Panel View)], the Panel View screen will
appear, which displays the above parameters in graphical
fashion, simulating an analog synthesizer. From the Panel View
screen, you can press [F2 (Image View)] to open the Image View
screen, where you can see a graphical indication of the D Beam
output value. Press [EXIT] to return to the Control Setting
screen.
2. Move the cursor to the parameter that you want to set, and
turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to make the
setting.
3. If you want to save the settings, press [F8 (System Write)].
If you press [EXIT] the Assignable screen will close.
Setting for the Solo Synth are saved for system settings.
OSC 1/2 Waveform
Select the waveform. SAW is a sawtooth wave, and SQR is a square
wave.
Value: SAW, SQR
OSC 1/2 Pulse Width
Specifies the pulse width of the waveform. By cyclically modifying
the pulse width you can create subtle changes in the tone.
* The Pulse Width is activated when “SQR” is selected with OSC1/2
waveform.
Value: 0–127
OSC 1/2 Coarse Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or down in semitone steps
(+/-4 octaves).
Value: -48–+48
OSC 1/2 Fine Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-
50 cents).
Value: -50–+50
OSC2 Level
Adjust the OSC2 level.
Value: 0–127
OSC1 Sync Switch
Turning this switch on produces a complex sound with many
harmonics. This is effective when the OSC1 pitch is higher than the
OSC2 pitch.
Value: OFF, ON
Filter Type
Selects the type of filter.
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, 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. 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. You can use this
to create wah-wah effects by employing an LFO to
change the cutoff frequency cyclically.
Cutoff
Selects the frequency at which the filter begins to have an effect on
the waveform’s frequency components.
Value: 0–127
