Creating a Patch

Creating a Patch

Tone Env Mode (Tone Envelope Mode)

When a loop waveform (p. 41) is selected, the sound will normally
continue as long as the key is pressed. If you want the sound to
decay naturally even if the key remains pressed, set this to “NO
SUS.”

Range: NO SUS, SUST

If a one-shot type Wave (p. 41) is selected, it will not sustain even
if this parameter is set to “SUST.”

Tone Rx Bender (Tone Receive Pitch Bend Switch)

For each tone, specify whether MIDI Pitch Bend messages will be
received (ON), or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

Tone Rx Expression
(Tone Receive Expression Switch)

For each tone, specify whether MIDI Expression messages will be
received (ON), or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

Tone Rx Hold-1 (Tone Receive Hold Switch)

For each tone, specify whether MIDI Hold-1 messages will be
received (ON), or not (OFF).

Value: OFF, ON

If “NO SUS” is selected for Env Mode parameter, this setting
will have no effect.

Tone Rx Pan Mode

For each tone, specify how pan messages will be received.

Value

CONT: Whenever Pan messages are received, the stereo position of

the tone will be changed.

K-ON: The pan of the tone will be changed only when the next note

is played. If a pan message is received while a note is
sounding, the panning will not change until the next key is
pressed.

The channels cannot be set so as not to receive Pan messages.

Tone Redamper Sw (Tone Redamper Switch)

You can specify, on an individual tone basis, whether or not the sound
will be held when a Hold 1 message is received after a key is released,
but before the sound has decayed to silence. If you want to sustain the
sound, set this “ON.” When using this function, also set the Rx Hold-1
parameter “ON.” This function is effective for piano sounds.

Value: OFF, ON

Matrix Control Settings (Ctrl1–4)

For details on the setting, refer to “How to Make the Patch
Settings”
(p. 39).

Matrix Control

Ordinarily, if you wanted to change tone parameters 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
tone 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. This provides you with a
variety of means of changing the way patches are played. For
example, you can use the Pitch Bend lever to change the LFO
cycle rate, or use the keyboard’s touch to open and close a filter.

The function which allows you use MIDI messages to make
these changes in realtime to the tone parameters is called the
Matrix Control. Up to four Matrix Controls can be used in a
single patch.

To use the Matrix Control, specify which MIDI message (Source
parameter) will be used to control which parameter
(Destination parameter), and how greatly (Sns parameter), and
the tone to which the effect is applied (Tone parameter).
