Playing in Patch Mode
 
The Octave Shift function transposes the pitch of the keyboard in 1 
octave units (-3– +3 octaves).
For playing a bass part more easily using your right hand, transpose 
the keyboard down by 1 or 2 octaves.
 
* Octave Shift applies only to the keyboard part.
 
1.
 
In the PATCH PLAY screen, press OCTAVE [-] or [+] to set 
the amount of transposition (-3– +3).
 
The button will light if this is set.
• Each time you press OCTAVE [+], the amount of transposition 
will change in the order of +1, +2, and +3. Each time you press 
OCTAVE [-], the amount of transposition will change in the 
order of -1, -2, and -3.
• If you press both buttons simultaneously, the amount of 
movement will be zero.

There is a single Octave Shift setting (Setup parameter) for the 
entire Fantom-Xa. The changed setting will be remembered 
even if you switch patches or performances.
Transpose changes keyboard pitch in units of semitones.
This function is useful when you play transposed instruments such 
as trumpet or clarinet following a printed score.
 
* Transpose applies only to the keyboard part.
 
1.
 
In the PATCH PLAY screen, hold down [SHIFT] and press 
OCTAVE [-] or [+] to adjust the Transpose setting (G–F#: -5– 
+6 semitones).
 
• If you hold down [SHIFT] and press both buttons 
simultaneously, the amount of movement will be zero.

There is a single Transpose setting (Setup parameter) for the 
entire Fantom-Xa. The changed setting will be remembered 
even if you switch patches or performances.
Since a patch is a combination of up to four tones, you can switch 
unwanted (tones out of the four) off and get just the sound of a 
specific tone.
• In the PATCH PLAY screen, press TONE SW [1]–[4] (PART/
TRACK [1]–[4]) to turn each tone on/off.
 
* If you want just one or two tones to sound in a patch, turn the others 
off and store that setting on a patch. This cuts nonessential use of the 
Fantom-Xa’s simultaneous voices.
