Performing with Rhythm Patterns
What is a rhythm pattern?
The FANTOM can automatically play a variety of rhythms while
you perform.
The performance data for these rhythms are called “rhythm
patterns.”
In a band, the drums typically repeat fixed patterns that are one
or two measures long. A wide variety of performance data used
as the basis of these repetitions is built-in and organized into
categories for uses such as intro, bass, fill, and ending. The type
of each pattern is indicated by its rhythm pattern name.
Pattern Explanation
Intro
These are performance patterns used during the
introduction.
Verse1, 2
These are the main performance patterns. “1” is the
basic pattern, and “2” is a variation of it.
Fill-In1, 2
These are ornamental performance patterns inserted
between phrases. Choose either “1” or “2” depending on
the pattern that follows the fill.
Ending
These are performance patterns used during the
ending of the song.
MEMO
Rhythm pattern settings are saved in the scene.
What is a rhythm group?
A “rhythm pattern group” contains a set of six rhythm patterns.
You can specify a rhythm pattern for Intro, Pattern A–Pattern D,
and Ending, and save them as a rhythm pattern group.
The FANTOM provides the following rhythm groups.
