Troubleshooting

External input sound is not stereo/is not

monaural

Check the following points.
• Stereo Switch parameter (p. 120) may be set to monaural (stereo).
• Could the Input Select parameter be set to “LINE IN L,” or
“Microphone”?
Press [INPUT SETTING], and set it to “LINE IN L/R.”

Mic sound is not output/is too weak

Check the following points.
• Is the mic cable connected correctly?
Check the connection.
• The mic cable may be broken.
• The input source may be set to something other than mic.
Press EXT SOURCE [INPUT SETTING] to select “Microphone.”
• The mic level may have been lowered.
When sampling, use the EXT SOURCE “LEVEL” knob to adjust
the level appropriately.

Can’t record a sample

Check the following points.
• Is there enough memory capacity?
If there is insufficient sample memory, a message of “Sample
Memory Full!” will appear when you attempt to sample. (p. 123)
Erase unneeded samples to increase the amount of free space.
If there is still not enough, install additional memory (DIMM
modules). (p. 207)

Sampled sound contains excessive noise or

distortion

Check the following points.
• Is the input level appropriate? If the input level is too high, the
sampled sound will be distorted. If it is too low, noise will be
heard. When sampling, turn the LEVEL knob in the Sampling
Standby screen (p. 120) to adjust the level while watching the
level meter displayed in the upper part of the display. Adjust the
level so that the “CLIP” indication in the upper right of the
display does not appear.
• Are the effect settings appropriate?
Some types of effect may increase the level louder than the
original sample, or may intentionally distort the sound. Some
effects will also cause noise to be emphasized.
Temporarily turn off effects, and check whether the sample itself
contains noise or distortion. Then adjust the effect settings
appropriately.
• Are multiple samples being played simultaneously?
Even if the level of each individual sample is appropriate,
simultaneously playing multiple samples may cause the overall
level to be excessively high, causing distortion. Lower the level of
each sample so that the sound is not distorted.

Issues Related to a Memory Card

Can’t select data from a memory card

Check the following points.
• Is the memory card inserted correctly?
Turn off the power, remove the memory card, then re-insert the
memory card correctly.
• Is the memory card an appropriate type?
The Fantom-S can use 8 MB–128 MB (3.3V) SmartMedia memory
cards. Other types cannot be used. (p. 187)

I can't use a memory card

Is the memory card formatted?
An unformatted floppy disk cannot be used. Perform the
Format procedure.
I can only use EXP slots A and B.
Could the SRX/RAM Mode parameter (p. 195) be set to “2
SRX/288MB Max”? Set it to “4 SRX/192MB Max.”
