Troubleshooting
Problem Items to check Action Page
Performances are sluggish,
or have interruptions
The sound will be interrupted if the maximum polyphony
is exceeded.
Try reducing the number of notes that are played.
In some cases, sustained notes with a long release might cause
processing to continue even though the notes are no longer actually
audible. In such cases, the polyphony of the performance data differs
from the number of notes that you hear.
Is there an Aftertouch or other such large Control Change
at the point where the song performance is sluggish?
If the data is no longer needed, delete the data. p. 93
Is the data concentrated at the beginning of the beats in
the sequence data?
Try spreading the data apart so that it does not occur at the same
timing. It is easy for data to be concentrated at the first beat of the
song if you use step recording to enter the song data, or if you apply
quantization after realtime input from the keyboard. This causes a large
amount of data to be sent to the FANTOM in a short time, possibly
causing a delay in note processing.
p. 86
Problems with saving
A scene sounds different
than when you saved it
Save the tones.
If you edit the tones used by scene, or if the temporary tones of the
scene were rewritten from an external MIDI device, you’ll need to save
those tones as well.
p. 48
Check the effect settings.
It might be that the master effect (system effect) settings have
changed.
p. 55
Arpeggio and controller
settings differ between
studio sets
Check the arpeggio and controller settings.
Arpeggio and controller settings are independently saved for each
scene.
p. 31
Problems with external MIDI devices
No sound from an external
MIDI device
Does the MIDI transmit channel of the zone set to EXT
match the MIDI receive channel of the connected device?
Match the zones transmit channel with the connected devices receive
channel.
For details, refer to “Parameter Guide (PDF).
Is the zone that you want to output MIDI unlit, or set to
EXT?
Unless the current zone is unlit, or unless one of the zones is set to EXT,
playing the keyboard will not transmit MIDI messages.
p. 8
Is the zone set to EXT assigned to output MIDI?
Unless the zone set to EXT is the current zone, or unless the keyboard
is connected via a layer that includes another current zone, MIDI
messages are not transmitted.
p. 8
Exclusive messages are not
received
Could Receive Exclusive be turned “OFF”? Turn Receive Exclusive ON. p. 115
Does the transmitting unit’s Device ID number match the
FANTOM’s Device ID number?
Set the Device ID numbers. p. 115
When the tones bend range
is large (48), the pitch does
not rise to its full extent
when a MIDI pitch bend
message is received
Although a tone’s bend range can be set in a range of
0–48, there are some waves for which the pitch cannot
rise to the full extent of the pitch bend message, causing
the pitch to stop rising at a certain point. We guarantee
that the pitch will rise at least to a pitch bend range
setting of 12, but please use caution if you specify a bend
range that is greater than this.
