Playing Percussion Instruments
In Patch mode, you can play percussion instruments from the
keyboard by selecting a rhythm set. As the rhythm tone assigned to
each key varies by the rhythm set selected, you can play a wide
range of percussion instruments.

The Fantom has three rhythm set groups, including the User group,
Preset group and GM group, with 16 rhythm sets in the User group,
16 rhythm sets in Preset group, and 9 rhythm sets in GM group, for a
total of 41 rhythm sets. What’s 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 large
selection of rhythm sets.
