Master Tune
415.3–466.2 Hz Overall tuning of the Fantom-Xa
The display shows the frequency of the A4 note (center A).
Master Key Shift -24– +24 Shifts the overall pitch of the Fantom-Xa in semitone steps.
Master Level 0–127 Volume of the entire Fantom-Xa

can let you attain the most suitable output level for recording and other purposes.
Mix/Parallel MIX, PARALLEL How the sound of the entire Fantom-Xa will be output
MIX:
Set this to have the collective output of all sounds output from the OUTPUT A (MIX)
jacks. When you want to check the final overall sound being output, set to MIX.
PARALLEL:
Output according to each Output Assign settings.
* Sounds which are set in the respective Output Assign to be output from the INDIVIDUAL 3 jack are
output from the left OUTPUT A (MIX) jack; sounds which are set to be output from the INDIVIDU-
AL 4 jack are output from the right OUTPUT A (MIX) jack.
* Sounds output from the PHONES jack are the same as those output from the OUTPUT A (MIX)
jacks. Therefore, any sounds set with Output Assign to be output from the OUTPUT B jacks is not
output from the PHONES jack. Be sure to have any sound you want to hear through the headphones
set to “MIX.”
