Playing in Patch Mode
 
In Patch mode, you can play percussion instruments. Each rhythm 
set contains many different instrumental sounds, allowing you to 
play a wide range of percussion instruments.
The Fantom-XR has four rhythm set groups, including the User 
group, Preset group and GM group, with 32 rhythm sets in the User 
group, 40 rhythm sets in Preset group, and 9 rhythm sets in GM 
group. Rhythm sets can also be saved on a memory card. What’s 
more, you can further expand your options by installing up to three 
optional Wave Expansion Boards (optional: SRX series), enabling 
you to select from a large selection of rhythm sets.
 
USER
 
This is the group inside the Fantom-XR which can be rewritten. The 
rhythm sets you create can be stored in this group. The Fantom-XR 
includes 32 rhythm sets.
 
PRST (Preset)
 
This is the group inside the Fantom-XR which cannot be rewritten. 
However, you can modify the settings of the currently selected 
rhythm set, and then save the modified settings in User memory. 
The Fantom-XR contains 40 preset rhythm sets.
 
CARD (Memory Card)
 
This group lets you use patches stored on a memory card inserted in 
the front panel card slot. Since the data in this group can be 
rewritten, you can use this group to store patches that you create.
 
GM (GM2)
 
This is an internal group of rhythm sets compatible with General 
MIDI 2, a system of MIDI function specifications designed to 
transcend differences between makers and types of devices; these 
rhythm sets cannot be overwritten. Furthermore, settings of 
currently selected rhythm sets from this group cannot be changed. 
The Fantom-XR includes nine preset rhythm sets.
 
XP-A–F (Wave Expansion Boards installed in 
EXP-A–F Slots)
 
These groups are for when using rhythm sets from a Wave 
Expansion Board installed in slots EXP A–F, and cannot be rewritten. 
However, you can modify the settings of the currently selected 
rhythm set, and then save the modified settings in User memory and 
Memory card. The number of onboard rhythm sets depends on the 
specific Wave Expansion Boards installed.
 
A Rhythm Set XP-A–F cannot be accessed if the Wave 
Expansion Board (SRX series: sold separately) it belongs to has 
not been installed.
