An Overview of FANTOM
About the Effects
The FANTOM is equipped with the following built-in effects, and settings can be made independently for each.
Effect type Effect Explanation
Tone effects
Multi-effect (MFX)
This is a general-purpose multi-effect that transforms the sound itself, giving it an entirely different
character. You can choose from 90 types as appropriate for your needs.
These types include single effects such as distortion or flanger, as well as a variety of other types.
Each tone has settings for one multi-effect.
DRUM KIT COMP
A drum kit can use six compressor units. These can be assigned to individual drum instruments.
A drum kit can be assigned to all zones, but the six compressor units for a drum kit apply only to
the specified one zone (the zone specified by Drum Kit Comp Zone).
PARTIAL EQ
This is an equalizer that can be applied to each partial of tone.
You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-frequency ranges.
KIT PARTIAL EQ (KIT PTL EQ)
This is an equalizer that can be applied to each drum inst.
You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-frequency ranges.
Scene (Zone) effects
Zone EQ
This is an equalizer that can be applied to each zone.
You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-frequency ranges.
Chorus
Chorus is an effect that adds depth and spaciousness to the sound.
This effect is common to all zones.
Reverb
Reverb is an effect that produces the reverberation that is characteristic of sounds heard in a hall.
This effect is common to all zones.
Insert effect1 (IFX1)
These are general-purpose insert effects that can transform the sound itself, giving it a completely
different character.
There are 90 types, and you can select and use the type that’s appropriate for your purpose. Use
these when you want to apply a further effect in addition to the multi-effect. The insert effects
provide two independent effect units, IFX 1 and 2, and you can make routing settings to connect
IFX 1 and 2 in series or in parallel. These effects are common to all zones.
Insert effect2 (IFX2)
Analog Filter
This provides two independent units of analog filter + overdrive.
They can be applied to the desired zone output, or to the mixed master output.
Highly flexible routing is provided, so that the output of the analog filter can be returned to main
out, or output from the Analog Out jack. This effect is common to all zones.
System effects
(MASTER FX)
Mastering Comp
The mastering compressor compresses sound that is louder than the specified volume level,
making the volume more consistent.
It can be adjusted independently for the high, mid, and low-frequency regions.
Mastering EQ
The mastering EQ is an equalizer that is applied to the entire sound engine of the FANTOM.
You can independently adjust the high, mid, and low-frequency ranges.
System effects
