Changing the Beat and Shuffle (Grid)
This sets the particular note division and resolution in a “single
grid” used in creating the pattern in an Rhythm Pattern, and how
much of a “shuffle” syncopation is to be to applied (none/weak/
strong) to it (grid type).
* Grid settings are shared with the arpeggio.
For details on the settings, refer to “Arpeggio Settings” (p. 105)
Value:
1/4: Quarter note (one grid section = one beat)
1/8: Eighth note (two grid sections = one beat)
1/8L: Eighth note shuffle Light
(two grid sections = one beat, with a light shuffle)
1/8H: Eighth note shuffle Heavy
(two grid sections = one beat, with a heavy shuffle)
1/12: Eighth note triplet (three grid sections = one beat)
Using a controller to adjust the playback tempo
Since tempo control is assigned to one of the Fantom-S’s
realtime control knobs, it’s easy to adjust the tempo at which the
rhythm pattern will play back.
