The FANTOM can audio-record (sample) the sound of your
keyboard performance or an audio input such as an audio
device or mic. You can press the pads to record the recorded
samples.
Pressing Pads to Play Samples
Here we explain how to use pads [1]–[16] to play sampled
sounds (the sample pad function).
Before you continue, select “SAMPLE PAD” as the pad function as
described in Assigning Convenient Functions to the Pads (PAD
MODE)” (p. 74).
1.
Press a pad [1]–[16].
The sample plays.
You can also press multiple pads simultaneously to play them.
Since an unlit pad contains no sample, pressing it will not
produce sound.
MEMO
The number of samples that can play back simultaneously is a
maximum of eight for mono samples and a maximum of four for stereo
samples.
Sustaining the Sample Playback (Hold)
1.
While you hold down a pad, press the [HOLD]
button.
The sample continues playing even after you take your finger off
the pad. To stop the sample, press the pad once again.
MEMO
The hold function is available only for samples whose “GATE” parameter is
turned on (p. 70).
If the sound wont stop?!
Rapidly press the [HOLD] button four times in succession. This stops all
sounds being played by the pads.
Switching Banks
The samples are assigned to four banks that each contain 16
samples. By switching banks, you can change the samples that
are assigned to each pad.
1.
Press the [BANK] button.
The PAD BANK screen appears.
2.
Press a pad [1]–[4] to select a bank.
The pad number corresponds to the bank number.
When a bank is selected, you automatically return to the
previous screen.
MEMO
You can also select a bank by directly touching an icon in the PAD BANK
screen.
