Calculating the Number of Voices Being Used

The Fantom is able to play up to 64 notes simultaneously. The polyphony, or the number of voices (sounds) does not refer only to the number of sounds actually being played, but changes according to the number of tones used in the patches, and the number of Waves used in the tones. The following method is used to calculate the number of sounds used for one patch being played.

(Number of Sounds Being Played) x (Number of Tones Used by Patches Being Played) x (Number of Waves Used in the Tones)

Making Settings for Receiving MIDI (MIDI)

For details on the setting, refer to “How to Make the Performance Settings” (p. 91).

Part MIDI

Receive Channel

Specifies the MIDI receive channel for each part.

Value: 1–16

If this is set to the same channel as the Performance Ctrl Ch parameter (SYSTEM/MIDI), attempting to switch patches by transmitting only a program change from an external device will actually cause the performance to change. If you want to switch patches, change the Performance Ctrl Ch parameter to another number (p. 182), or transmit bank select and program change messages together (Q&A; p. 14).

Receive Switch

For each part, specify whether MIDI messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF).

If this is “OFF,” the part will respond to the keyboard, but not to the internal sequencer or external MIDI devices. Normally, you should leave this “ON,” but you can turn it “OFF” when you do not want a specific part to be playing during song playback.

Value: OFF, ON

Creating a Performance

Solo Part Select

Select one part whose sound you want to play. Turn it “SEL” to the part that you want to solo. Parts other than the part you select here will not sound.

Mute Switch

Temporarily mutes (MUT) or releases the mute (OFF) for the
performance of each part.
Use this setting when, for example, you want to use the instrument		Performance
for karaoke by muting the part playing the melody, or when you
want to play something using a separate sound module.
Value: OFF, MUT
	The Mute Switch parameter does not turn the part off, but sets	a
	the volume to minimum so that no sound is heard. Therefore,
		Creating
	MIDI messages are still received.
