Selecting a Patch
The Fantom has six patch groups, including the User group and
Preset groups AE and GM, with each group storing 128 patches
(256 in GM), for a total of 1,024 patches. Whats more, you can
further expand your options by installing up to three optional Wave
Expansion Boards (one SR-JV80, two SRX series), enabling you to
select from a huge assortment of available patches.
USER
This is the group inside the Fantom which can be rewritten. patches
you yourself create can be stored in this group. The Fantom includes
128 preset patches.
PR-A–E (Preset A–E)
This is the group inside the Fantom which cannot be rewritten.
However you may modify the settings of the currently selected
patch, and then store the modified patch in User memory. Banks A
E already contain 128 prepared patches each, for a total of 640
patches.
GM (GM2)
This is an internal group of patches compatible with General MIDI 2,
a system of MIDI function specifications designed to transcend
differences between makers and types of devices; these patches
cannot be overwritten. Furthermore, settings of currently selected
patches from this group cannot be changed. The Fantom includes
256 preset patches.
XP-A–C (Wave Expansion Boards installed in
EXP-A–C Slots)
These are groups used when using patches from Wave Expansion
Boards installed in the EXP AC slots, and cannot be rewritten.
However you may modify the settings of the currently selected
patch, and then store the modified patch in User memory. The
number of onboard patches depends on the specific Wave Expansion
Boards installed.
XP-AC patches can be selected only if a Wave Expansion Board
is installed in the corresponding slot.
