Playing in Performance Mode

Performance mode is where you can combine multiple sounds (patches or rhythm sets) to create complex sounds, or use the Fantom as a master keyboard. You can also create and play layers (patches played together) or splits (separate patches played from different areas of the keyboard).

About the MIDI Connection Settings (Zone and Part)

Although the Fantom’s keyboard controller section and sound generator section are connected internally using a MIDI connection, in Performance mode, you can then make even more detailed settings affecting the way the connection works between the keyboard controller section and the sound generator section, as well as with an external MIDI device.

At the factory standard settings, shown below, there is a one-to- one correspondence between the zone, the MIDI transmit/ receive channel, and the part.

Zone 16 (MIDI transmit channel 16)

Part 16 (MIDI receive channel 16)

Zone 2 (MIDI transmit channel 2)

Part 2 (MIDI receive channel 2)

Zone 1 (MIDI transmit channel 1)

Part 1 (MIDI receive channel 1)

Rhythm Set

Under these conditions, you could simply consider that “each of the zones from 1 to 16 is linked in a one-to-one relationship with its numerical counterpart among parts 1

to 16”. In other words, you can use zone 1 when controlling part 1, zone 2 is when controlling part 2, and so on.

In this manual, the expression “the zone and part are linked” refers to the condition whereby a zone’s MIDI transmit channel and a part’s MIDI receive channel are matched in this one-to-one relationship.
