Pad Mode 7—Tone Sel/Sw
The Tone Sel/Sw (for “Tone Select/Switch”) pad mode is a
great power tool when you’re editing patches. Each patch
is made up of as many as four “tones.” Tones produce the
sound waves that form the basis of a patch’s sound. The
Tone Sel/Sw pad mode lets you quickly select a tone for
editing, or turn a tone on or off.
If you’re in
Single mode—
• the pads control the tones in the currently selected
patch. If you’re playing a rhythm set on the keyboard, the pads control
the four waves used by the rhythm tone you’ve most recently played.
Live or Studio mode—
• the pads control the tones in the patch played by
the currently selected part. If you’ve selected a part that uses a rhythm
set and the part’s KBD switch is on, the pads control the waves in the
last-played rhythm tone.
CUTOUT
Pads 1-4—
• turn Tones 1-4, respectively, on or off.
Pads 5-8—
• select Tones 1-4, respectively, for editing.
In a rhythm set, each key on the keyboard plays a different rhythm
tone that can use up to four sound waves.
When a tone is selected or turned off, its pad is unlit. You can also see
the state of your tones on the Pad Setting screen.
Pad Mode 8—Track Mute
You can use the pads to mute tracks as you sequence or
record. This allows you to quickly switch things on and off
as you refine a song’s arrangement.
When a track is muted, its pad flashes. You can also go to the Pad
Setting screen to see which tracks are currently muted.
Pad Mode 9—Bookmark
On the Fantom-G, you can bookmark screens you often
re-visit. Once you’ve bookmarked a screen, you can quickly
jump back there by striking its pad in the Bookmark pad
mode. You can have up to 128 bookmarked screens in a
project, organized in eight banks of 16 bookmarks each.

be properly saved if you leave the Pad Setting screen without hitting
F8 (Exit).
