Overview of the Fantom VS

Note Priority in Performance

Since Performance is usually used to play an ensemble

consisting of several patches, it is important to decide which

parts take priority. Priority is specified by the Voice Reserve

settings (p. 140). When a note within a patch needs to be

turned off to make room for a new note, the Patch Priority

setting of the patch will apply (p. 97).

Voice Reserve

The Fantom VS has a Voice Reserve function that lets you

reserve a minimum number of notes that will always be

available for each part. For example if Voice Reserve is set to

“10” for part 16, part 16 will always have 10 notes of sound-

producing capacity available to it even if a total of more than

128 notes (total for all parts) are being requested. When you

make Voice Reserve settings, you need to take into account

the number of notes you want to play on each part as well as

the number of tones used by the selected patch (p. 140).

It is not possible to make Voice Reserve settings that

would cause the total of all parts to be greater than 128

voices.

Patch and performance settings are stored in what is referred
to as memory. There are two kind of memory: temporary and
non-rewritable.

Temporary Area

This is the area that holds the data for the patch that you’ve
selected.

When you play the Fantom VS, sound is produced based on
data in the temporary area. When you edit a patch, you do
not directly modify the data in memory; rather, you call up
the data into the temporary area, and edit it there.

Settings in the temporary area are temporary, and will be lost
when the power is turned off or when you select another
patch/performance.

Preset Memory

Data in Preset memory cannot be rewritten. However, you
can call up settings from preset memory into the temporary
area, and modify them.
