When your musical arrangement hinges on the sound you select for a
particular part—even though you’re still undecided about which patch or
rhythm set you want to use—set an MFX processor to use the part’s effect.
That way, as you try out each patch, its effect tags along automatically.
When You’re Adding More Parts
Once you set up a performance’s effects and one of its parts,
you’ll want to set up the effects for any additional parts in one
of two ways. Use the:
• Performance Mixer 1 and 2 screens—These screens provide a
graphic view of your performance’s settings, looking much
like a physical mixing desk. To view the two screens, press
MIXER, and press F8 to toggle between the Performance
Mixer 1 and 2 screens.
• Part Level and Output Assign screens—The Part View screens
show the performance’s settings as a table using text and
numbers. While less fun to look at, this can also provide the
quickest way to work. To view these screens, press MIXER
or LAYER/SPLIT, and then F2 (Part View). You’ll work on
the Part Level and the Part Output Assign screens, as we’ll
see.
The Performance screens are discussed in detail in the Workshop booklets
Sequencing on the Fantom-X and Performing with the Fantom-X. For now,
we’re concerned only with their effect-related parameters.
In both areas, you’ll see output parameters that—having
read this far—are now familiar, though they each have a look
appropriate to their screens.
What’s Where: The Performance Mixer Screens
In the Performance Mixer screens, each part’s parameters are
presented in a vertical strip, just as you’d find on a physical
mixing console. On these screens, you’ll find the following
output parameters:
Part Output
Select—selects
the part’s output
destination
Cho—sets the part’s
chorus send level.
Rev—sets the part’s
reverb send level.
Level—sets the part’s
basic output level.
