PANEL SWITCH— so you can use your pedal as if it’s one of a variety of
important front-panel buttons on the Fantom-G. When Assign is set to
PANEL SWITCH, the Panel Switch Assign parameter becomes active and
can be set to:
OCT UP, OCT DW—
so the footswitch behaves like the +OCT or
-OCT button, respectively. Typically, you’d set one footswitch
to act as one of the buttons and a second footswitch to act like
the other.
ARP SW—
so pressing the footswitch is like pressing the
ARPEGGIO button.
CHD SW—
so the footswitch acts as the CHORD MEMORY
button.
INC, DEC—
to use the footswitch as an INC or DEC button.
SHIFT
so pressing the footswitch is like pressing the SHIFT
button. This can turn two-handed operations on the Fantom-G
into faster one-handed procedures.
ENTER—
to press the ENTER button with the footswitch.
EXIT
to use the footswitch as an EXIT button.
SKIPBACK
so you can trigger Skip Back sampling with a
footswitch.
ROLL
to use the footswitch as the DYNAMIC PADS areas ROLL
button.
HOLD—
to use the footswitch as the HOLD button.
Setting Up a Hold Pedal
There are two parameters that control the behavior of a footswitch connected
to the rear-panel HOLD jack. A Hold pedal is usually used for adding sustain
to your notes. Heres how the Hold Pedal parameters work.
Press the MENU button.
1
Click F2 (System)—if the Pedal/DBeam tab isn’t already selected, click 2
F1 (Group/Up) until it is.
The Hold Pedal parameters at the bottom of the screen control the
behavior of the hold pedal.
Typically, youd set Hold Pedal Polarity to 3 STANDARD when you’re
using a Roland pedal, and REVERSE to get a non-Roland pedal to
behave like one.
The Continuous Hold Pedal parameter, when it’s set to ON, supports
4
half-pedaling when you’ve connected a DP-8 or an expression pedal
to the HOLD jack. Half-pedaling allows you to control the depth of
your notes’ sustain.
System Control 1-4
The Fantom-G’s System Controls allow you to simultaneously change the
realtime control source for multiple sounds without having to go in and
re-program each one individually. Heres how this time-saving tool works.
There are four System Controls, each of which has been assigned a control
source. By default
System Control 1—
is set to CC01: Modulation (MIDI Control Change
01).
System Control 2—
is set to Aftertouch.
System Control 3—
is set to CC:02 Breath (MIDI Control Change 02).
System Control 4—
is set to CC04: Foot Type (MIDI Control Change 04).
A patch or PFX can be programmed to use a System Control as its control
source, placing it under the control of whatever’s assigned to the System
Control.
When a control source is designated as a System Control, and the
System control is selected as a patch parameter’s control source...
...then the System Control’s control source acts as the patch
parameter’s control source.
