Controller

Sys Ctrl 1–4 Source (System Control 1–4 Source)

System Control Assign selects the MIDI message used as the System Control.

System Control

This function, which departs from previously used methods, and instead allows you to use MIDI messages to change tone settings in realtime, is called the Matrix Control (p. 54).

Similarly, the function allowing you to use MIDI messages to change multi-effects settings in realtime is called the Multi- effects Control (p. 175).

Normally, the Matrix Control is used for making patch settings, and the Multi-effects Control for making settings to patches, rhythm sets, multitimbres, and performances. However, if you do not need to change the MIDI messages used for matrix control or multi-effects control by each patch/rhythm set/ multitimbre/performance, or if you want to use a specific MIDI message for matrix control or multi-effects control, you will want to make use of System Control. In other words, you could call the System Controls global Matrix Control/Multi- effects Control for the entire Fantom.

You can use up to four System Controls.

Value

OFF: The system control knob will not be used.

CC01–31,33–95:Controller numbers 1–31, 33–95

For details on control change messages, refer to “MIDI Implementation” (Sound/Parameter List).

PITCH BEND: Pitch Bend

AFTERTOUCH: Aftertouch

Hold Pedal Polarity

Select the polarity of the Hold pedal. On some pedals, the electrical signal output by the pedal when it is pressed or released is the opposite of other pedals. If your pedal has an effect opposite of what you expect, set this parameter to “REVERSE.” If you are using a Roland pedal (that has no polarity switch), set this parameter to “STANDARD.”

Range: STANDARD, REVERSE

Cont Hold Pedal (Continuous Hold Pedal Switch)

This setting determines whether the HOLD PEDAL jack will provide support for half-pedaling (ON), or not (OFF). When this is set to support use of half-pedaling techniques, you can then connect an optional expression pedal (EV-5, etc.), and employ pedal work to achieve even finer control in performances in which piano tones are used.

Value: OFF, ON

Pedal 1, 2 Assign

This specifies the function of each pedal connected to the CTL 1, CTL 2 PEDAL jacks.

Value

OFF: The control pedal will not be used.

CC01–31,33–95:Controller numbers 1–31, 33–95

For details on control change messages, refer to “MIDI Implementation” (Sound/Parameter List).

BEND UP: The pitch will rise in semitone steps (maximum 4 octaves) each time you press the pedal.

BEND DOWN: The pitch will fall in semitone steps (maximum 4 octaves) each time you press the pedal.

AFTERTOUCH: Aftertouch

OCT UP: Each pedal press raises the key range in octave steps (up to 3 octaves higher).

OCT DOWN: Each pedal press lowers the key range in octave steps (up to 3 octaves lower).

START/STOP: The sequencer will start/stop.

PUNCH I/O: Manual punch-in/out recording will start/stop.

TAP TEMPO: Tap tempo (a tempo specified by the interval at which you press the pedal).

PROG UP: The next sound number will be selected.

PROG DOWN: The previous sound number will be selected.

FAV UP: The favorite sound of the next number or bank will be selected ([1] → [8]).

FAV DOWN: The favorite sound of the previous number or bank will be selected ([8] → [1]).

ARP SW: Switches the Arpeggiator on/off.

PTN SW: Switch Rhythm pattern playback on/off.
