Playing Rhythms
The Fantom-X contains 256 preset rhythm patterns. You can play a
variety of rhythm patterns simply by pressing the pads. In addition
to using these built-in rhythm patterns, you can also create your
own.
The 256 rhythm patterns are maintained as independent data; they
are not part of a performance’s data. This means that any one
rhythm pattern can be shared by various rhythm sets or
performances. In Performance mode, a number by which a rhythm
pattern is recalled can be stored as one of the performance
parameters. This number cannot be stored in Patch mode.
A “group” consists of settings for each of the sixteen pads, specifying
the pattern that each pad will play. The rhythm set used by that
group is also stored as part of the settings.
fig.13-001.e
* You are free to change how rhythm pattern numbers and rhythm
sounds are assigned.
Rhythm group data is not part of a rhythm set or performance; the
32 rhythm groups are stored as independent data. This means that
any one rhythm group can be shared by various patches or
performances. In addition to using the built-in rhythm groups, you
can also create your own.
Rhythm Group settings can be saved independently for each
performance. However, they cannot be saved as part of a patch.
1. Press [RHYTHM] to turn it on.
The button will light.

2. Play a pad (9-16).
According to the pad you pressed, the assigned rhythm pattern
will begin playing.
The volume of the rhythm pattern will also change according to
how strongly you strike the pad.
fig.13-001.e
A pattern will begin playing when you press any pad from 9–16
that isn’t illuminated. A rhythm tone will sound when you
press a pad that is blink. The pattern or rhythm tone that is
sounded by each pad can be specified in Rhythm Group Edit (p.
139).
* You can stop playback by pressing a blinking pad.
* To stop rhythm pattern playback, press [RHYTHM] once again so the
indicator goes out.
This sets the Rhythm Pattern tempo.
Specify the tempo of the rhythm pattern.
1. Play a rhythm pattern (p. 135).
