Modifying the Sound in Real Time
 
Pad Control Mode
 
This specifies how the D Beam will behave when it is obstructed. If 
this is set to MOMENTARY, the parameter will be on only while the 
D Beam is obstructed, and will turn off when you stop obstructing it. 
If this is set to LATCH, the parameter will alternately be switched 
on/off each time you obstruct the D Beam.
 
Value:
 
 MOMENTARY, LATCH
 
PAD trigger settings are saved independently for each 
performance as part of the performance settings. This lets you 
create performances that make effective use of controller 
settings.
 
If Patch mode is selected, this is saved as part of the system 
settings. If you want to save the settings, press [F8 (System 
Write)].
 
Solo Synth
 
On the Fantom-X you can play a monophonic synthesizer whose 
pitch is controlled by the D Beam.
 
1.
 
Hold down [SHIFT] and press D BEAM [SOLO SYNTH].
 
The Solo Synth screen appears.
 
fig.10-006_50
 
When you press [F6 (Panel View)], the Panel View screen will 
appear, which displays the above parameters in graphical 
fashion, simulating an analog synthesizer. From the Panel View 
screen, you can press [F2 (Image View)] to open the Image View 
screen, where you can see a graphical indication of the D Beam 
output value. Press [EXIT] to return to the Control Setting 
screen.
 
2.
 
Move the cursor to the parameter that you want to set, and 
turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to make the 
setting.
 
3.
 
If you want to save the settings, press [F8 (System Write)].
 
If you press [EXIT] the Assignable screen will close.
 
Setting for the Solo Synth are saved for system settings.
 
OSC 1/2 Waveform
 
Select the waveform. 
 
SAW
 
 is a sawtooth wave, and 
 
SQR
 
 is a square 
wave.
 
Value:
 
 SAW, SQR
 
OSC 1/2 Pulse Width
 
 Specifies the pulse width of the waveform. By cyclically modifying 
the pulse width you can create subtle changes in the tone.
 
* The Pulse Width is activated when “SQR” is selected with OSC1/2 
waveform.
 
Value:
 
 0–127
 
OSC 1/2 Coarse Tune
 
Adjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or down in semitone steps 
(+/-4 octaves).
 
Value:
 
 -48–+48
 
OSC 1/2 Fine Tune
 
Adjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-
50 cents).
 
Value:
 
 -50–+50
 
OSC2 Level
 
Adjust the OSC2 level.
 
Value:
 
 0–127
 
OSC1 Sync Switch
 
Turning this switch on produces a complex sound with many 
harmonics. This is effective when the OSC1 pitch is higher than the 
OSC2 pitch.
 
Value:
 
 OFF, ON
 
Filter Type
 
Selects the type of filter. 
 
OFF:
 
No filter is used. 
 
LPF:
 
Low Pass Filter. This reduces the volume of all 
frequencies above the cutoff frequency (Cutoff Freq) 
in order to round off, or un-brighten the sound. This 
is the most common filter used in synthesizers. 
 
BPF:
 
Band Pass Filter. This leaves only the frequencies in 
the region of the cutoff frequency, and cuts the rest. 
This can be useful when creating distinctive sounds. 
 
HPF:
 
High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies in the 
region below the cutoff frequency. This is suitable 
for creating percussive sounds emphasizing their 
higher tones.
 
PKG:
 
Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the frequencies in 
the region of the cutoff frequency. You can use this 
to create wah-wah effects by employing an LFO to 
change the cutoff frequency cyclically.
 
Cutoff
 
Selects the frequency at which the filter begins to have an effect on 
the waveform’s frequency components.
 
Value:
 
 0–127
