Setting Your Input Level
Next to the inputs on the Fantom-Xa’s rear panel is the LEVEL
knob, shown in the illustration on Page 2. This sets your input
signal’s volume going into the Fantom-Xa.
After connecting your mic, instrument, etc. to the desired
input(s), set your input signal level as follows:
1. Press the SAMPLING button.
2. Press F1 (SAMPLING)—the SAMPLING
STANDBY screen appears. Even though we’re
not going to be sampling, we want to take
advantage of this screen’s input level meters.

3. If you’ve connected a mic or instrument, set Input Select
to MICROPHONE. If you’ve connected a stereo mixer, set
Input Select to LINE IN L/R, or, for a mono mixer, LINE IN L.
4. Send a typical amount of sound into the Fantom-Xa.
5. Turn the rear-panel LEVEL knob until the meters show
as strong a signal as possible without lighting the CLIP
indicator on the meters, shown in the screenshot above.
6. Press EXIT twice when you’re done.
Input Settings
The Fantom-Xa provides a screenful of parameters that allow
you to control the basic sound of your input signal, as well as a
separate screen’s-worth of parameters for setting up its effect.
Since the Fantom-Xa clears its memory when you turn it off, set the
following input parameters as desired before each performance.
The INPUT SETTING Screen
Basic input-signal settings appear on the INPUT SETTING
screen. To display it:
1. While holding down SHIFT, press
MIX IN—the INPUT SETTING
screen appears.
2. To hear your input signal, press MIX IN so it
lights.
The MIX IN button must be lit to hear your input signal. (The
INPUT SETTING screen doesn’t have to be visible once you’ve
completed your setup.)
The INPUT SETTING Diagram
In the diagram at the left of the screen, you can see whether or
not you’re adding the dedicated input effect to your signal. By
default, the input effect is off and the diagram looks like this:
Press F5 (In FX Sw) to switch on the input effect. The currently
selected effect appears in the diagram.
You can press F5 (In FX Sw) again to turn the input effect off.
