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.

If you want to switch the patch of the Keyboard part to another patch, press [1 
(Kbd Part)] to move the cursor to the patch number, and then turn the VALUE 
dial or use [INC] [DEC].
 
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.

or use [INC] [DEC].

To switch between playing a patch or a rhythm set, use [CURSOR] to move 
the cursor to the patch type, and then use [INC] [DEC] to select either patch 
(Patch) or rhythm set (Rhythm).

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 
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.
