Creating a Patch
Attack Time Offset
Attack Time Offset alters the attack time of the overall patch, while
preserving the relative differences between the attack time values set
for each tone in the Env Time 1 parameters (PATCH/TVA) (p. 66).
Range: -63 +63
* Attack Time: The time it takes for a sound to reach maximum volume
after the key is pressed and sound begun.
This value is added to the attack time value of a tone, so if the
attack time value of any tone is already set to 127 (maximum),
positive + settings here will not produce any change.
Release Time Offset
Release Time Offset alters the release time of the overall patch, while
preserving the relative differences between the release time values
set for each tone in the Env Time 4 parameters (PATCH/TVA) (p.
66).
Range: -63 +63
* Release Time: The time from when you take your finger off the key
until the sound disappears.
This value is added to the release time value of a tone, so if the
release time value of any tone is already set to 127 (maximum),
positive + settings here will not produce any change.
Velocity Sens Offset (Velocity Sensitivity Offset)
Velocity Sensitivity Offset alters the Velocity Sensitivity of the
overall patch while preserving the relative differences between the
Velocity Sensitivity values set for each tone in the parameters below.
Cutoff V-Sens parameter (PATCH/TVF) (p. 63)
Level V-Sens parameter (PATCH/TVA) (p. 65)
Range: -63 +63
* Velocity: Pressure with which the key is pressed.
This value is added to the velocity sensitivity value of a tone, so
if the velocity sensitivity value of any tone is already set to +63
(maximum), positive + settings here will not produce any
change.
Clock Source (Patch Clock Source)
The LFO cycle, multi-effects changes, Phrase Loop, and Tone Delay
time can be synchronized to a clock (tempo). When this is used by
the patch, this Clock Source setting determines the clock which will
be used.
Value
PATCH: The Patch Tempo will be used.
SEQUENCER: Synchronize to the clock of the Fantoms sequencer
or of an external sequencer.
For details on using clock (tempo), refer to (Q&A p. 16).
Tempo (Patch Tempo)
When Patch Clock Source is set to PATCH, this setting value is
effective.
Value: 20250
The Patch Tempo Clock does not transmit clock messages from
the MIDI OUT connector.
Legato Switch (Solo Legato Switch)
Solo Legato is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter (PATCH/
General) is set to MONO. This setting specifies whether the Solo
Legato function will be used (ON) or not (OFF).
Value: OFF, ON
With the Legato Switch parameter ON, pressing a key while
continuing to press a previous key causes the note to change pitch to
the pitch of the most recently pressed key, sounding all the while.
This creates a smooth transition between notes, which is effective
when you wish to simulate the hammering-on and pulling-off
techniques used by a guitarist.
Legato Retrigger (Legato Retrigger Switch)
The Legato Retrigger is valid when the Mono/Poly parameter
(PATCH/General) is set to MONO and the Legato Switch
parameter is set to ON. The setting determines whether sounds
are replayed (ON) or not (OFF) when performing legato. Normally
you will leave this parameter ON. When OFF, when one key is
held down and another key is then pressed, only the pitch changes,
without the attack of the latter key being played. Set this to OFF
when performing wind and string phrases or when using
modulation with the mono synth keyboard sound.
Value: OFF, ON
Portamento Switch
Specifies whether the portamento effect will be applied (ON) or not
(OFF).
Value: OFF, ON
Portamento
Portamento is an effect which smoothly changes the pitch from
the first-played key to the next-played key. By applying
portamento when the Mono/Poly parameter (PATCH/General)
is MONO, you can simulate slide performance techniques on
a violin or similar instrument.
