Selecting a Patch
The Fantom-S has eight patch groups, including the User group and
Preset groups A–E and GM, with each group storing 128 patches
(256 in GM, USER). What’s more, you can further expand your
options by installing up to four optional Wave Expansion Boards
(four SRX series), enabling you to select from a huge assortment of
available patches.
USER
This is the group inside the Fantom-S which can be rewritten.
patches you yourself create can be stored in this group. The Fantom-
S includes 256 preset patches.
PR-A–E (Preset A–E)
This is the group inside the Fantom-S which cannot be rewritten.
However you may modify the settings of the currently selected
patch, and then store the modified patch in User memory. Banks A–
E already contain 128 prepared patches each, for a total of 640
patches.
* The Fantom-S88 provides preset F, which contains eight patches.
CARD (Memory Card)
This group lets you use patches stored on a memory card inserted in
the rear panel card slot. Since the data in this group can be rewritten,
you can use this group to store patches that you create.
GM (GM2)
This is an internal group of patches compatible with General MIDI 2,
a system of MIDI function specifications designed to transcend
differences between makers and types of devices; these patches
cannot be overwritten. Furthermore, settings of currently selected
patches from this group cannot be changed. The Fantom-S includes
256 preset patches.
XP-A–D (Wave Expansion Boards installed in
EXP-A–D Slots)
These are groups used when using patches from Wave Expansion
Boards installed in the EXP A–D slots, and cannot be rewritten.
However you may modify the settings of the currently selected
patch, and then store the modified patch in User memory and
Memory card. The number of onboard patches depends on the
specific Wave Expansion Boards installed.
XP-A–D patches can be selected only if a Wave Expansion Board
SRX series (sold separately) is installed in the corresponding slot.
If SRX/RAM Mode (p. 195) is set to “2 SRX,” only EXP slots A
and B can be used.
