Creating a Performance
Creating a Performance
With the Fantom, you have total control over a wide variety of
settings. Each item that can be set is known as a parameter. When
you change the values of parameters, you are doing what is referred
to as Editing. This chapter explains the procedures used in creating
performances, and the functions of the performance parameters.
How to Make the Performance
Settings
Start with an existing performance and edit it to create a new
performance. But before you do, try to envision what the entire
performance will sound like and decide which patch or rhythm set
to assign to each of 16 parts.
1. Access the PERFORMANCE PLAY screen, and select the
performance whose settings you wish to modify (p. 85).
If you want to create all your performances from the ground up,
rather than the performances that have already been prepared,
carry out the Initialize operation (p. 91).
2. Press [MENU].
The Menu window appears.

3. Press or to select “Performance Edit,” and then
press [8 (Select)].
The performance Edit screen appears.

4. The parameters are organized into several editing groups.
Press [1 (▲)] or [2 (▼)] to select the tab for the editing group
that contains the parameter you wish to edit.
For details on the parameter groupings, refer to “Parameter
list” (Sound/Parameter List).
5. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the parameter you
wish to modify.
• Some of the parameters have a “” symbol. This indicates that
if you press [LIST] when setting one of these parameters, the
related window will appear. For example if you press [LIST] at a
parameter that requires you to specify a name, the Name
window will appear.
• When all the parameters cannot be shown within a single
settings screen, a scroll bar will be displayed at the right side of
the screen. In such cases, press to scroll the screen
downward.
If you have selected a screen for parameters that can be set for
each part or zone, first move the cursor to the parameter that you
wish to edit, and then press or to select the part or zone.
6. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to get the value
you want.
7. Repeat steps 4–6 to complete a performance.
8. If you wish to save the changes you’ve made, press [6
(Write)] to perform the Save operation (p. 93). If you do not
wish to save changes, press [EXIT] to return to the
PERFORMANCE PLAY screen.
If you return to the PERFORMANCE PLAY screen without
saving, the display will indicate “EDITED,” reminding you that
the performance settings have been modified.
If you turn off the power or select a different sound while the
display indicates “EDITED,” your edited performance will be
lost.
Initializing Performance Settings
(Init)
“Initialize” means to return the settings of the currently selected
sound to a standard set of values or to the factory settings.
The Initialize operation will affect only the currently selected
sound; the sounds that are stored in user memory will not be
affected. If you wish to restore all of the Fantom’s settings to
their factory values, perform a Factory Reset (p. 195).
1. Access the PERFORMANCE PLAY screen, and select the
performance that you wish to initialize (p. 85).
2. Access the Performance Edit screen (p. 91).
3. Press [7 (Init)].
The Performance Initialize window appears.

4. Move the cursor to “Type,” and select the initialization type.
