• If you want to move the current location in steps of a measure,
move the cursor to the measure position, and turn the VALUE
dial or press [INC]/[DEC]. You can also move in steps of a
measure by pressing [BWD] or [FWD].
• If you want to move the current location in steps of a beat, move
the cursor to the beat position, and turn the VALUE dial or press
[INC]/[DEC].
• When you press [8 (Test)], the sequencer data currently shown at
the “” will be transmitted from the MIDI OUT connector. In
the case of a note message, the note will sound as long as you
hold down [8 (Test)]. A note-off will be transmitted when you
release [8 (Test)].
5. To close the Microscope window, press [EXIT].
Sequencer Data Handled by a
Phrase Track/Pattern
Phrase tracks or patterns can record the following nine types of
sequencer data. The recorded location (measure-beat-clock) is
displayed at the far left of each data item, and the MIDI channel
number is displayed beside it.
Note
These MIDI messages represent notes. From the left, the parameters
are Note Number, which indicates the name of the note; On Velocity,
which specifies the force with which the key is pressed; Gate Time,
which specifies the duration of the note; and Off Velocity, which
determines the speed with which the key is released.
Poly Aft (Polyphonic Aftertouch)
This MIDI messages applies aftertouch to an individual note. From
the left, the parameters are Note Number which specifies the key,
and Value which specifies the depth of the aftertouch.
Ctrl Change (Control Change)
This MIDI message applies various effects such as modulation or
expression. The controller number (CC#) selects the function, and
Value specifies the depth of the effect.
For the function corresponding to each controller number, refer
to “MIDI Implementation” (Sound/Parameter List).
Prog Change (Program Change)
This MIDI message switches sounds. The program number (PC#)
selects the sound.
Channel Aft (Channel Aftertouch)
This MIDI message applies aftertouch to an entire MIDI channel.
Value specifies the depth of the aftertouch.
Pitch Bend
This MIDI message changes the pitch. The value specifies the
amount of pitch change.
Tune Request
This MIDI message causes an analog synthesizer to tune itself.
Ptn (Pattern Call message)
This is data that causes a pattern to play back. Use the Number
parameter to select the pattern number. The pattern name is shown
in parentheses ( ), and the location at which the pattern will finish
playing is shown at the right of the “→” symbol.
• If the pattern called by the Pattern Call message extends beyond
the last measure of the song, the pattern playback will be
interrupted at that point.
• Only one pattern can be played at a time by Pattern Call
messages in a given phrase track. This means that if a Pattern
Call message is recorded at a location before the previous
pattern has finished playing, the pattern that was playing will be
interrupted, and the next pattern will begin playing. If more than
one Pattern Call message is recorded at the same location, the
message that is displayed last in the Microscope window will be
played.
• Although it is possible to record Pattern Call messages in a
pattern, they will not be played. If you want to place the data of
another pattern into a pattern, use Track Edit to copy the data.
Ex. (System Exclusive messages)
These are MIDI messages used to make settings unique to the
Fantom, such as sound settings. Input the data between “F0” and
“F7.”
For details on system exclusive messages, refer to “MIDI
Implementation” (Sound/Parameter List).
Data Handled by the Tempo Track
The Tempo track records tempo data for the song.
Tempo Change
This data specifies the tempo. The song will play back according to
the “Value” of the tempo change.
The value displayed in “ =**” is the tempo at which the song will
actually play (the playback tempo), and can be changed only in the
PLAY screen of each mode.
If the tempo change value differs from the playback tempo, this
means that the playback tempo has been changed temporarily. In
other words, since the tempo change value has not been rewritten,
this setting will be lost if you select another song or turn off the
power. If you want to play back at this tempo the next time as well,
you must re-save the song to disk. This will rewrite the tempo
change value so that it matches the playback tempo.
