Roland Piano Adding Effects, Turning Effects On and Off, Applying Effects in Patch Mode

Adding Effects

This section explains the procedures and settings for applying effects in each mode.

For details of the Fantom’s onboard effects, refer to “About the Onboard Effects” (p. 23).

Turning Effects On and Off

The Fantom’s onboard effects can be turned on/off as a whole. Turn these settings OFF when you wish to listen to the unprocessed sound as you create a sound, or when you wish to use external effects processors instead of the built-in effects.

Effect ON/OFF settings are global Fantom settings. These settings cannot be made for each Patch or Performance individually.

The PLAY screen for each mode provides effect switches that allow you to turn the three effects on/off. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the effect switches located in the upper part of the screen, and turn the VALUE dial or press [INC] or [DEC] to turn the switch on/off.
