Using the Pads
The pads of the Fantom-X function in the same way as the keyboard,
and can also be used to play RPS and rhythm patterns. You can add
dynamics to the sound by varying the force with which you strike
the pads.
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.
To play other sounds while holding one sound
1. Hold down a pad and press [HOLD].
fig.16-001
The [HOLD] and the pad will blink.
Hold will be turned on, and the sample will continue sounding
even when you take your finger off the pad. In this state,
pressing another pad will cause its sample 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.
To hold two or more samples
1. Press [HOLD] so the pad is lighted.
2. Press a pad.
The sample 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 lit 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. 203)
• When the Tone Env Mode parameter (p. 87) is set to “NO-SUS”
• When the One Shot Mode parameter (p. 88) is on
You can use the Roll function to play a “roll” (repeated notes at brief
intervals) as long as you continue holding the pad.
1. Hold down [ROLL] and press a pad.
* If you press only [ROLL], a roll will continue sounding on all 16 pads.
* If you press only [ROLL], the Roll function will be turned on for all
sixteen pads.
fig.16-002
In this state, a roll will be played as long as you hold down a
pad.
2. Take your hand off the pad, and the sound will stop.
* The resolution of the roll is set by the Roll Resolution parameter (p.
162), which is displayed while you hold down [PAD SETTING].
* You can vary the dynamics by varying the pressure on the pad.
* If you selected “Multi Velo” in Pad Setting Quick Setup, that setting
will be used (p. 161).
The Roll function will not work in the following cases:
• When you have made settings so that a pattern is played when
you press a pad
• When RPS is on (p. 203)
This cannot be used to switch images via V-Link.
