Creating a Patch
Types of Patch Copy
Patch Name Copy (NAME)
The name of the patch, rhythm set, multitimbre, or performance will
be copied to the currently selected patch.
fig.03-03_50
Patch Effects Copy (MFX/CHORUS/REVERB)
The effect settings of the patch, rhythm set, multitimbre, or
performance will be copied to the currently selected patch.
fig.03-04_50
Effect contents that will be copied (Mode)
MFX: Multi-effects settings
CHORUS: Chorus settings
REVERB: Reverb settings
If you want to copy the multi-effect settings of a multitimbre or
performance, select the MFX (MFX-AMFX-C) whose data will be
copied.
Patch Tone Copy (TONE)
Tone settings of a patch will be copied to the tone you specify of the
current patch.
fig.03-05.e
To specify the currently selected patch as the copy source, set
Source to TEMP.
Cautions When Selecting a
Waveform
The sounds of the Fantom are based on complex PCM waveforms,
and if you attempt to make settings that are contrary to the type of
the original waveform, the results will not be as you expect.
The internal waveforms of the Fantom fall into the following two
groups.
One-shot: These waveforms contain sounds that have short decays.
A one-shot waveform records the initial rise and fall of the sound.
Some of the Fantoms one-shot waveforms are sounds that are
complete in themselves, such as percussive instrument sounds. The
Fantom also contains many other one-shot waveforms that are
elements of other sounds. These include attack components such as
piano-hammer sounds and guitar fret noises.
Looped: These waveforms include sounds with long decays as well
as sustained sounds. Loop waveforms repeatedly play back (loop)
the portion of the waveform after the sound has reached a relatively
steady state. The Fantoms looped waveforms also include
components of other sounds, such as piano-string resonant
vibrations and the hollow sounds of brass instruments.

The Compare Function
For the Patch Effect Copy and Patch Tone Copy operations, you
can use the Compare function.
The Compare function allows you to play the copy-source
patch. To do so, press [1 (Compare)] to open the following
window. The copy-source patch can be switched in this
window as well, but it is not possible to select GM group
patches. After selecting the desired patch, return to the previous
window by pressing [1 (Copy)].
fig.03-06_50
The Compare function cannot be used with Patch Effect
Copy if RHYTHM, MULTITIMBRE or
PERFORMANCE is selected as the copy source (Source).
The patch auditioned using the Compare function may
sound slightly different than when it is played normally.
