This section explains what the different System parameters do, and
also how these parameters are organized.
Settings Common to the Entire
System (General)
fig.15-01_50
For details on the setting, refer to How to Make the System
Function Settings (p. 178).
General
Local Switch
The Local Switch determines whether the internal sound generator is
disconnected (OFF) from the keyboard controller section (keyboard,
pitch bend/modulation lever, knobs, buttons, D Beam controller,
pedal, and so on); or not disconnected (ON). Normally this is left
ON, but if you wish to use the Fantoms keyboard and controllers
to control only external sound modules, set it to OFF.
Value: OFF, ON
When a performance is selected, if you want the keyboard
controller section to be disconnected only from a specific part or
parts, use the Int Switch parameter (PERFORMANCE/Zone) (p.
98).
Master Tune
Adjusts the overall tuning of the Fantom. The display shows the
frequency of the A4 note (center A).
Value: 415.3466.2 Hz
Master Key Shift
Shifts the overall pitch of the Fantom in semitone steps.
Value: -24 +24
Master Level
Adjusts the volume of the entire Fantom.
Value: 0127
Patch Remain (Patch Remain Switch)
Specifies whether currently sounding notes will continue sounding
when another patch or rhythm set is selected (ON), or not (OFF).
Also, when this is ON, changes produced by incoming MIDI
messages such as Volume or Pan (CC 5, 7, 10, 65, 68, 7174, RPN 0, 1,
2, MONO ON, POLY ON), as well as tonal quality and volume
changes produced by the various controllers will be inherited.
Value: OFF, ON
Effects settings change as soon as you switch to a new patch or
rhythm set, without being influenced by the Patch Remain
setting. Because of this, certain effects settings can cause notes
that were until then sounding to no longer be heard, even
though Patch Remain has been set to on.
Mix/Parallel
Specifies how the sound of the entire Fantom will be output.
Value
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.
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 INDIVIDUAL 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.
PARALLEL: Output according to each Output Assign settings.
Output Gain
This adjusts the output gain from the Fantoms Analog Out and
Digital Out. When, for example, there are relatively few voices being
sounded, boosting the output gain can let you attain the most
suitable output level for recording and other purposes.
Value: -12, -6, 0, +6, +12 dB
Keyboard Velocity
Specifies the velocity value that will be transmitted when you play
the keyboard. If you want actual keyboard velocity to be
transmitted, set this to REAL. If you want a fixed velocity value to
be transmitted regardless of how you play, specify the desired value
(1127).
Value: REAL, 1127
