For details on the setting, refer to “Making Effect Settings” (p. 175)
Source 1–4 (Multi-Effects Control Source 1–4)
Sets the MIDI message used to change the multi-effects parameter
with the multi-effects control.
Value
OFF: Multi-effects control will not be used.
CC01–31, 33–95: Controller numbers 1–31, 33–95
For more information about Control Change messages, please
refer to “MIDI Implementation” (Parameter List).
PITCH BEND: Pitch Bend
AFTERTOUCH: Aftertouch
SYS CTRL1–SYS CTRL4: MIDI messages used as common multi-
effects controls.
If you want to use common controllers for the entire Fantom-S,
select “SYS CTRL 1”–”SYS CTRL 4.” MIDI messages used as
System Control 1–4 are set with the Sys Ctrl 1–4 Source
parameters (p. 190).
• In patch/rhythm set mode, there are parameters that determine, for
each tone/rhythm tone, whether or not Pitch Bend, Controller
Number 11 (Expression) and Controller Number 64 (Hold 1) are
received (p. 61). When these settings are “ON,” and the MIDI
messages are received, then when any change is made in the settings
of the desired parameter, the Pitch Bend, Expression, and Hold1
settings also change simultaneously. If you want to change the
targeted parameters only, then set these to “OFF.”
• There are parameters that determine whether or not specific MIDI
messages are received for each MIDI channel (p. 90). When using the
multi-effects control, confirm that any MIDI messages used for the
multi-effects control will be received. If the Fantom-S is set up such
that reception of MIDI messages is disabled, then the multi-effects
control will not function.
Destination 1–4 (Multi-Effects Control Destination 1–4)
Sets the multi-effects parameters to be controlled with the multi-
effects control. The multi-effects parameters available for control will
depend on the multi-effects type. For details, refer to “Multi-Effects
Parameters” (Parameter List).
Sens 1–4 (Multi-Effects Control Sensitivity 1–4)
Sets the amount of the multi-effects control’s effect that is applied. To
make an increase in the currently selected value (to get higher values,
move to the right, increase rates, and so on), select a positive value; to
make a decrease in the currently selected value (to get lower values,
move to the left, decrease rates, and so on), select a negative value. When
both positive and negative are selected, the changes are greater as the
value increases. To have no effect applied, select “0.”
Value: -63–+63
MFX Control Channel (Multi-Effects Control Channel)
This determines the channel that will be used for reception when using
the Multi-effects Control to modify multi-effects parameters in real time,
when the MFX1–3 Source parameter (p. 179) is set to “PRF.” Set this to
“OFF” when the Multi-effects Control is not being used.
Value: 1–16, OFF
* This parameter is not found in Patch mode.
Multi-Effects Control
If you wanted to change the volume of multi-effects sounds, the
delay time of Delay, and the like, using an external MIDI device,
you would need to send System Exclusive messages-MIDI
messages designed exclusively for the Fantom-S. However,
System Exclusive messages tend to be complicated, and the
amount of data that needs to be transmitted can get quite large.
For that reason, a number of the more typical of the Fantom-S’s
multi-effects parameters have been designed so they accept the use
of Control Change (or other) MIDI messages for the purpose of
making changes in their values. For example, you can use the Pitch
Bend lever to change the amount of distortion, or use the
keyboard’s touch to change the delay time of Delay. The
parameters that can be changed are predetermined for each type of
multi-effect; among the parameters described in “Multi-Effects
Parameters” (Parameter List), these are indicated by a “#.”
In the multi-effect setting screen, a “c” symbol will be shown at
the left of the parameter.
The function that allows you use MIDI messages to make these
changes in realtime to the multi-effects parameters is called the
Multi-effects Control. Up to four multi-effects controls can be
used in a single patch/rhythm set/performance.
When the multi-effects control is used, you can select the
amount of control (Sens parameter) applied, the parameter
selected (Destination parameter), and the MIDI message used
(Source parameter).
By using the Matrix Control instead of the Multi-effects
Control, you can also change the parameters of some
popular multi-effects in realtime (p. 63).
