To name a patch:
1. The first character position is underlined, so turn VALUE to
select the first character of the patch’s name.
2. Press 4 to move the underline to the next character’s
position, and turn VALUE to select the second character.
3. Repeat Step 2 to enter the characters of the patch name
you want.
As you name the patch, you can:
• Press F1 (Change Type) repeatedly to jump between
upper-case, lower-case and numeric characters.
• Press F2 (Delete) to remove the character at the underline’s
current location.
• Press F3 (Insert) to insert a blank space in which you can
enter a new character at the underline’s current location.
When you’ve finished naming the patch, press F8 (Write). The
Patch Write window pops up:
1. Use F3 (↓) and/or F2 (↑) to select the Fantom-X’s internal
user memory as the location in which the patch is to be
saved, or to select Card if you’ve installed a memory card.
2. Turn VALUE to select the user or card location in which
you’d like to store the patch, and then press F8 (Write) to
store the patch.
If there’s already a patch in the selected location, and you’d like to audition
it before replacing it with a new patch, press F4 (Compare) so it turns red.
As long as Compare is on, you can try out patches to see which one you
want to replace. To turn off Compare, press F4 (Compare) again.
Don’t worry about replacing one of the factory user patches. They’re all
copies of preset patches permanently stored in your Fantom-X.
3. The Fantom-X asks if you’re sure you want to proceed.
Press F8 (Exec) to finish storing the patch.
Selecting Patches Remotely Via MIDI
Since the Fantom-X has such extraordinary sounds, you may
want to use it with an external sequencer, such as one you’d
run on a computer. You can easily select Fantom-X sounds
directly from a sequencing program by transmitting the
appropriate MIDI messages on the MIDI channel for the
Fantom-X’s keyboard or pads in Patch mode, or the patch’s
part channel in Performance mode.
See Page 230 in the Owner’s Manual to learn about the Kbd and Pad Patch
TX/RX Channel parameters in Patch mode. Performance Parts 1-16 receive
MIDI messages on MIDI Channels 1-16, respectively, by default.
To select a patch via MIDI, send the Fantom-X the appropriate
Bank Select MSB and LSB values, and Program Change value.
These values are listed in the following chart.
The XP groups in the following chart depend on the SRX boards you’ve
installed. See each installed board’s Owner’s Manual.
