The Part Level and Output Assign Screens
On the Part Level and Output Assign screens, each part’s
output parameters are laid out in a horizontal strip.
On the Part Level screen—press F1 (Level Pan)—you’ll find
the part’s Level parameter, which sets the part signal’s basic
volume.
The Part Output Assign screen—press F2 (Output Effect)—
contains the rest of the part’s effect settings.
Out—The Out parameter is actually a pair of settings. The
left-hand box’s value selects the part’s output destination.
When the destination is MFX, the right-hand box selects
the desired MFX processor.
Output—The Output parameter allows you to make fine
adjustments to the volume of the part as it goes to the
selected output destination without affecting its chorus or
reverb send levels.
Chorus—This parameter sets the part’s send level going
into the chorus processor.
Reverb—This parameter sets the part’s send level going
into the reverb processor.
Source Switches: 1, 2, 3, C, R—When you want a part’s pre-
programmed effect settings to be borrowed by one of the
MFX processors in the performance, or by the chorus or
reverb, check the appropriate box:
1—sets the part as the source for MFX 1’s settings.
2—sets the part as the source for MFX 2’s settings.
3—sets the part as the source for MFX 3’s settings.
C—sets the part as the source for the chorus’ settings.
R—sets the part as the source for the reverb’s
settings.
Customizing Effects
Editing a Fantom-X effect to suit your needs is just a matter of
setting its effect processor’s parameters. To get to them, press
EFFECTS, and then press:
F3 (MFX 1/2 or 1/2/3)—repeatedly to display the desired
MFX parameters.
F5 (Chorus)—to display the chorus parameters.
F6 (Reverb)—to display the reverb parameters.
Select the algorithm you want and adjust the available
parameters.
The Fantom-X Owner’s Manual has a description of all of the algorithms and
their parameters, starting on Page 270.
For each algorithm, four parameters appear onscreen with Knobs 1-4 next
to them. These are the four REALTIME CONTROL knobs, and this means that
the four parameters can be set by simply turning the corresponding knob.
A number of the Fantom-X’s effects are tempo-related, and they can easily
be synchronized to your songs’ tempos. To learn how to do this, see the
Workshop booklet Advanced Fantom-X Sequencing Techniques.
Setting Up Realtime Effect Controls
You can control the Fantom-X’s MFX processors using the
REALTIME CONTROL knobs and/or the D Beam in ASSIGNABLE
mode. You can turn effect processors on and off using the
ASSIGNABLE Sw buttons. Here’s how to set up these devices
and select the effect parameters they’ll control.
