Creating a Rhythm Set
With the Fantom, you have total control over a wide variety of
settings. Each item that can be set is known as a parameter. When
you change the values of parameters, you are doing what is referred
to as Editing. This chapter explains the procedures used in creating
rhythm sets, and the functions of the rhythm set parameters.
How to Make the Rhythm Set
Settings
Start with an existing rhythm set and edit it to create a new rhythm
set. Rhythm sets are created from a collection of multiple rhythm
tones (percussion instruments). You can change the assignments of
the rhythm tones for each key with rhythm set edit.
The rhythm tone assigned to each key consists of up to four waves.
Rhythm tones and waves are related in the same way that patches
and tones are related.
1. Press [PATCH/RHYTHM] to access the Patch Play screen,
and select the part (keyboard part or pad part) and rhythm
set whose settings you want to edit (p. 37).
You cannot edit the rhythm sets in the GM group.
If you want to create all your rhythm sets from the ground up,
rather than the rhythm sets that have already been prepared,
carry out the Initialize operation (p. 65).
2. Press [EDIT].
The Rhythm Edit screen appears.

that contains the parameter you wish to edit.

“Parameter list” (Parameter List).

• Simultaneously editing the same parameter of multiple
waves
Simultaneously press two or more of the [5 (Wave Select1)]–[8

at the same time. When a tone is on, a check mark (
✔) will be
displayed.

9. If you wish to save the changes you’ve made, press [WRITE]
to perform the Save operation (p. 66). If you do not wish to
save changes, press [EXIT] to return to the Patch Play
screen.
If you return to the Patch Play screen without saving, an “*” will
be displayed at the left of the rhythm set number, indicating that
the rhythm set settings have been edited.
If you turn off the power or select a different sound while the
display indicates “*,” your edited rhythm set will be lost.
