Overview of the Fantom
About Memory
Patch and performance settings are stored in what is referred to as
memory. There are three kind of memory: temporary, rewritable,
and non-rewritable.
fig.01-06.e
Temporary Memory
Temporary Area
This is the area that holds the data for the patch, multitimbre, or
performance that you’ve selected using the panel buttons.
When you play the keyboard or play back a sequence, sound is
produced based on data in the temporary area. When you edit a
patch, multitimbre, or performance, you do not directly modify the
data in memory; rather, you call up the data into the temporary area,
and edit it there.
Settings in the temporary area are temporary, and will be lost when
the power is turned off or when you select another patch/
multitimbre/performance. To keep the settings you have modified,
you must write them into rewritable memory.
Rewritable Memory
System Memory
System memory stores system parameter settings that determine
how the Fantom functions.
User Memory
User memory is where you normally store the data you need. USER
memory contains 128 patches, 16 rhythm sets, 16 multitimbres, and
64 performances.
Disk (Optional: 3.5” 2DD, 2HD)
Patches, multitimbres, performances, and system settings can be
stored on disk together as a single file.
Non-Rewritable Memory
Preset Memory
Data in Preset memory cannot be rewritten. However, you can call
up settings from preset memory into the temporary area, modify
them and then store the modified data in rewritable memory (except
GM2).
Wave Expansion Boards
(optional: SR-JV80/SRX Series)
The Fantom can be equipped with up to three Wave Expansion
Boards (one SR-JV80 series, two SRX series). Wave Expansion Boards
contain Wave data, as well as patches and rhythm sets that use this
Wave data, which can be called directly into the temporary area and
played.
