Selecting Effects
MFX
The MFX processors are the Fantom-X’s most powerful, so
they make a good place to start when selecting your effects.
To navigate to them, press EFFECTS, and then F3 (MFX1/2) in
Patch mode, or F3 (MFX1/2/3) in Performance mode. When you
do this, the screen for one of your MFX processors appears.
The currently selected MFX processor’s name appears in large
black letters to the left of the current algorithm’s name. Each
other available MFX processor’s name appears in white.
To toggle between the available MFX processors, press F3
repeatedly until the one you want to work with is selected.
Select Your Algorithm
Set the Type parameter to select the desired algorithm for your
current purposes.
The MFX Structure in Performance Mode
While MFX 1 is always assigned to the keyboard and MFX 2 to
the pads in Patch mode, in Performance mode, you can route
your signals in and out of the three MFX processors in a variety
of ways. By selecting the desired MFX structure, you can keep
the MFX processors separate, or combine them in interesting
and useful ways. The order in which effects are added can
significantly change the final sound, so the Fantom-X offers 16
possible MFX structures that are all graphically presented on
the display. Let’s discuss a few MFX structures as examples.
In the MFX structure illustrations, signal flows from the left
edge of the screen to the right edge.
We’ve added the colored arrow outlines to show how the
signal flows—you won’t see them onscreen.
In this MFX structure, any signal sent into each processor
passes only through that processor, as shown by the separate
red, purple and blue arrows. The three MFX processors operate
completely independently.
