Playing the Sounds
The Fantom-S comes with a wide range of onboard sounds, including single tones called patches .
Let’s select a few patches to get an idea of the variety of sounds available with the Fantom-S.
1.
Press [PATCH/RHYTHM].
The Patch Play screen appears.
On the Fantom-S you can play patches and rhythm sets from both the keyboard and the pads.
Play the keyboard and pads to hear the sound.
On the Fantom-S, a “part” is something to which you assign a patch or rhythm set. Patch mode
has two parts, the Keyboard part and the Pad part , and you can assign a patch or rhythm set
to each of these parts.

When the patch number is highlighted, you can select a patch. When the patch group is highlighted,
you can select a group. On the Fantom-S, the patches are organized into five groups; user, preset,
GM, card, and expansion board. Use to move the highlighted cursor.

the cursor to the patch type, and then use [INC] [DEC] to select either patch

For more information about
factory patches and rhythm
sets, refer to “Patch List,”
“Rhythm Set List”.
Patches and Rhythm sets XP-
A–D can be selected only if a
Wave Expansion Board (sold
separately) has been installed
in the corresponding slot.
What is a Patch? Patches are
the basic sound configurations
that you play during a
performance. Each patch can
b
e configured by combining
up to four tones.
What is a Tone? On the
Fantom-S, the tones are the
smallest unit of sound.
However, it is not possible to
play a tone by itself. The patch
is the unit of sound which can
be played, and the tones are
the basic building blocks
which make up the patch.
