Transposing the Keyboard in

This function is useful when you play transposed instruments such
as trumpet or clarinet following a printed score.
* Transpose applies only to the keyboard part.
1. Press [PATCH/RHYTHM] to access the Patch Play screen.
2. Press [1 (Kbd Part)] to move the cursor to the keyboard part.
3. Press [7] to switch the Patch Play screen.
4. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “Trans.”

5. Either turn the VALUE dial or use [INC]/[DEC] to adjust the
Transpose setting (G–F#: -5–+6 semitones).
There is a single Transpose setting (Setup parameter) for the
entire Fantom-S. The changed setting will be remembered even
if you switch patches or performances.
If you assign “Transpose Up” “Transpose Down” as a function
to be controlled by the realtime assignable switches ([

[

1. Press [PATCH/RHYTHM] to access the Patch Play screen.
2. Press [1 (Kbd Part)] or [2 (Pad Part)] to move the cursor to
the pad part or the keyboard part.
3. Press [6 (Tone Sw/Sel)].

4. Press [1 (Tone Sw)]/[4 (Tone Sw)] to turn each tone on/off.
The setting will switch on/off each time you press the
button.
5. Press [EXIT] to close the window.
If you want just one or two tones to sound in a patch, turn the
others off and store that setting on a patch. This cuts
nonessential use of the Fantom-S’s simultaneous voices.
Playing Single Notes (Mono)

sax or flute, it is effective to play in mono.
