Layering Two or More Patches (Layer)
 
When you wish to play multiple patches or rhythm sets at the same time, use a 
 
performance
 
. 
In Performance mode, you can play up to 16 different patches or rhythm sets simultaneously.
A performance in which two or more patches are played together is referred to as a 
 
layer
 
.
Let’s select Performance “PRST: 61 Piano&Str,” which layers two patches.
 
1.
 
Press [LAYER/SPLIT].
 
The Performance Layer screen will appear.

What is a Rhythm Tone? On 
the Fantom-S, the rhythm 
tones are the smallest unit of 
sound. However, it is not 
possible to play a tone by itself. 
The rhythm set is the unit of 
sound which can be played, 
and the tones are the basic 
uilding blocks which make 
up the rhythm set.

Key Range
Similarly to patches and rhythm 
sets, performances are also 
organized into groups. There are 
three performance groups: User, 
Preset, and Memory Card.
What is a Performance? A 
performance has a patch or 
rhythm set assigned to each of 
the 16 parts, and can 
simultaneously handle 16 
sounds. The Fantom-S’s 
performance has two screens; a 
Layer screen (press [LAYER/
SPLIT]) and a Mixer screen 
(press [MIXER]). Use the Layer 
screen if you want to play two or 
more patches together (Layer) or 
play different patches in 
separate areas of the keyboard 
(Split). Use the Mixer screen if 
you want to “mix” by 
individually adjusting the pan 
and level settings for each of the 
sixteen parts.
