Roland Fantom G6 - Playing Rhythm Sounds with Pads

The Transpose parameters are:
Part Group—
• (See the explanation of this parameter on Page 13.)
Ch—
• (See the explanation of this parameter on Page 13.)
Measure—
• (See the explanation of this parameter on Page 13.)
For—
• (See the explanation of this parameter on Page 13.)
Bias—
• This parameter sets the amount by which notes are transposed,
in semitone steps. You can lower notes by 127 semitones or raise them
by the 127 semitones.
Range Min, Max—

Though you may not think of sounds in a rhythm set as having pitches,
each one is assigned to a particular MIDI note number. You can use
the Transpose feature to change the sound of a rhythm-set note by
transposing it to a different note number. This is especially handy
when you want to change one drum sound that appears over and over
in a phrase to another sound—just transpose that note throughout the
phrase up or down to the necessary note number.
Change Velocity
A note’s velocity affects its volume and often its timbre. You can adjust the
velocity values for sequenced notes using the Change Velocity tool.
The Change Velocity parameters are:
Part Group—• (See the explanation of this parameter on Page 13.)
Ch—
• (See the explanation of this parameter on Page 13.)
Measure—
• (See the explanation of this parameter on Page 13.)
For—
• (See the explanation of this parameter on Page 13.)
Bias—
• If you’d like to change all of the selected notes’ velocities by the
same fixed amount, select that amount with this parameter.
Magnify—
• Use this parameter to affect notes’ dynamic range relative to
their original velocities. When this is set to a value less than 100%, lower
velocities are raised and higher velocities lowered to smooth out the
notes’ dynamics. With values above 100%, lower velocities are reduced
and higher velocities are increased to exaggerate their dynamic range.

Change Channel
This tool allows you “re-channelize,” or change the MIDI channel, of selected
data, and to select the part that plays it.
You can use this tool for layering sounds in a song. Duplicate a phrase
on the Phrase List screen and place the copy on its own track. Use the
Change Channel tool to convert the copy’s data to a different MIDI
channel and thus to the part that uses the desired sound.
