Troubleshooting
When I play the keyboard, notes do not stop.
Is the pedal polarity of the Hold Pedal reversed?
Check the Hold Pedal Polarity parameter setting (p. 189).
When I press a pad, the sound does not stop
sounding.
Could the [HOLD] pad be lit?
Press the [HOLD] pad once again so the light goes out.
The sound cuts off when I switch Patches in
Patch mode...
Although you can apply a wide variety of multi-effects with
the Fantom-S's multi-effects, switching the Patch also switches
the type of multi-effects used.
In such instances, discrepancies between the sound being produced
and the multi-effects type can arise, which may result in sounds
being different than intended, so sounds produced when Patches are
switched may be muted when factory settings are in effect. In certain
situations, such as when not using multi-effects that have a great
influence on the sound, remembering to set Patch Remain parameter
(p. 193) to “ON” allows you to switch Patches without sounds being
muted.
When switching Patches in Patch mode, the
volume and other parameters set with Control
Changes end up being reset.
Set Patch Remain parameter (p. 193) to “ON.” Even once they
have switched Patches, Control Change messages that have
been received are carried forward, so even when switching a Patch
whose level is turned all the way down by a Control Change volume
message, the level remains unchanged.
If the Tone Delay time value is set to the note,
then does the delay time not change beyond a
fixed length when the tempo is slowed down?
There is a maximum permissible value for the Delay Time
parameter (p. 56). So, if the time setting is specified in terms of
a note value, and the tempo is slowed down, this maximum
permissible value will be reached, and it cannot be increased further.
The upper time limit for each is the maximum value that can be set
other than the numerical value for the beat.
Even when I set the Pan for a Patch completely
to one side, sound still comes from the other
channel...
The Fantom-S's internal effects are in stereo, so if you have
effects applied to a Patch, even if the Pan is set all the way to
one side, you will still be able to hear sounds of the effect component
from the other channel.
Sometimes, when playing legato, the pitch
won't rise. Why is this?
down keys in the high register to play legato, the upper pitch limit of
the wave may be exceeded, so that the pitch does not rise as far as
you expect, but will stop rising at a certain point. Additionally, if
differing upper pitch limits are used for the waves of a Patch that
uses multiple tones, it may stop being heard in MONO. When
making large pitch changes, set the Legato Retrigger parameter to
“ON.”
The notes sound strange in the upper registers
of the keyboard.
Sometimes when playing the keys in the upper part of the
Fantom-S's keyboard, the sound may stop, or the pitch may
stop rising; or with certain keys, there may be intermittent noise.
This occurs mainly when the Fantom-S's upper pitch limit is
exceeded, so this issue doesn't arise in the ranges normally used. But,
in any case, it does not indicate a malfunction.
Although the same Patch is selected, it sounds
different when I listen to it in the Performance.
In Performance mode, the parameters of each part of the
performance can apply further modification to parameters
such as pan, octave, and filter, relative to the settings specified by the
patch. Thus, Patches in a Performance may sound different than they
do when heard in Patch mode. To return these settings to their initial
conditions, select the Patch after execute Factory Reset Temporary
for the Performance. (p. 196)
Additionally, although a Patch may comprise tones created with the
use of the multi-effects, the multi-effects used in the Performance
may differ from the multi-effects selected by the Patch. Check the
multi-effect settings of the performance. Also do the same for the
Chorus and Reverb settings.
The volume level of the instrument connected
to Fantom-S is too low.
Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor
