Using the Pads
The pads of the Fantom-Xa function in the same way as the
keyboard, and can also be used to play RPS and rhythm patterns.
You can use the Hold function to make the sound continue even
after you take your finger off the pad. This is useful when you want
a sound such as a looped (repeating) phrase to play continuously.
1. Hold down a pad ([1]–[9]) and press [HOLD].
[HOLD] and the pad will blink.
Hold will be turned on, and the tone will continue sounding
even when you take your finger off the pad. In this state,
pressing another pad will cause its tone to sound only as long as
you continue pressing that pad.
2. When you once again press the blinking pad or [HOLD], the
sound will stop.
1. Press [HOLD] so the pad is lit.
2. Press a pad.
The tone whose pad is blink will continue sounding. If you
press another pad in this state, its sample will also continue
sounding in the same way.
3. The sound will stop when you press a blinking pad. When
you press [HOLD], all samples will stop pad sounding.
The Hold function will not work in the following cases:
• When RPS is on (p. 154)
• When the Tone Env Mode parameter (p. 58) is set to “NO-SUS”
• When the One Shot Mode parameter (p. 58) is on
Here you can make various settings for playing the pads; e.g., the
note number that each pad will send to the sound generator section.
1. Hold down [SHIFT] and press a pad ([1]–[9]).
The PAD SETTING screen appears.

2. Press the pad for which you want to make settings.
3. Press [CURSOR] to select the parameter.
4. Use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to make pad settings.

(RHYTHM)] to add a check mark (
✔ ).
