Settings Common to All Modes (System Function)

MTC Offset Frame (MTC Offset Time Frame)

Coordinates the playback timing of the Fantom and the external device in a frame units.

Value: 00–29 frames

MTC Error Level

Determines how often the reception status is checked when MTC is being received from an external device. Stop synchronization if a problem becomes apparent with the check.

Value: 0–10 (the checking interval will be longer for larger values)

In strict terms, the lower the numerical value set, the more accurate the check is. However, playback may be stopped overly frequently if too rigorous a check is made, and this soon becomes inconvenient. By raising the Error Level setting, then even if problems with the reception of MTC do occur, synchronization can then continue as long as such problems remain at a level that does not cause undue problems.

Metronome Mode

Specifies when you want the metronome to sound.

Value

OFF: Will not sound.

PLAY ONLY: Will sound only during playback.

REC ONLY: Metronome will sound only for recording.

PLAY&REC: Metronome will sound for playback and recording.

ALWAYS: Metronome will always sound.

Metronome Level

You can adjust the volume of the metronome.

Value: 0–10

Metronome Sound

Selects the metronome sound.

Value

TYPE 1: A conventional metronome sound will be heard. A bell will sound on the first beat.

TYPE 2: Clicks will sound.

TYPE 3: Beeps will sound.

TYPE 4: Cowbell will sound for the first beat, and woodblock on

other beats.

MIDI Settings (MIDI)

For details on the setting, refer to “How to Make the System

Function Settings” (p. 178).

MIDI

Performance Ctrl Ch (Performance Control Channel)

Performance Ctrl Ch selects the MIDI receive channel used during switching of performances when MIDI messages (Program Change/ Bank Select) are sent from an external MIDI device. Set this to “OFF” if performances are not to be switched from an external MIDI device. Value: 1–16, OFF

If only a program change is received, and if the Performance Ctrl Ch parameter setting coincides with the MIDI receive channel of a part, priority will be given to switching the performance.

Multitimbre Ctrl Ch (Multitimbre Control Channel)

Multitimbre Ctrl Ch selects the MIDI receive channel used during switching of Multitinbres when MIDI messages (Program Change/ Bank Select) are sent from an external MIDI device. Set this to “OFF” if Multitinbres are not to be switched from an external MIDI device. Value: 1–16, OFF

If only a program change is received, and if the Multitimbre Ctrl Ch parameter setting coincides with the MIDI receive channel of a part, priority will be given to switching the multitimbre.

Patch/Rhythm Rx Ch (Patch/Rhythm Set Receive Channel)

Specifies the receive channel of MIDI messages in Patch mode.

Value: 1–16
