Creating a Rhythm Set
 
When editing parameters that apply to a specific wave, here’s how to 
specify the wave or key you want to edit.
 
1.
 
In the Rhythm Edit Menu screen, press [ENTER].
 
2.
 
Press [ENTER].
 
The Wave Select screen will appear.

Another way to access the Wave Select screen is to press 
[MENU] in the Rhythm Edit Menu screen to access the Rhythm 
Utility screen, then choose “Wave/Key Select” and press 
[ENTER].
 
3.
 
Press   or   to select a wave, and turn the VALUE dial or 
use [INC][DEC] to switch the wave you’re editing on/off.
 
* You can’t switch all waves off.
 
4.
 
You can select Key, and choose a specific key of the 
rhythm set.
 
You can also specify the key by playing a note on your external 
MIDI keyboard.
 
5.
 
When you have made your selection, press [EXIT] to close 
the Wave Select screen.
 
The sounds of the Fantom-XR are based on complex PCM 
waveforms, and if you attempt to make settings that are contrary to 
the type of the original waveform, the results will not be as you 
expect.
The internal waveforms of the Fantom-XR fall into the following two 
groups.
 
One-shot:
 
These waveforms contain sounds that have short 
decays. A one-shot waveform records the initial rise 
and fall of the sound. Some of the Fantom-XR’s one-
shot waveforms are sounds that are complete in 
themselves, such as percussive instrument sounds. The 
Fantom-XR also contains many other one-shot 
waveforms that are elements of other sounds. These 
include attack components such as piano-hammer 
sounds and guitar fret noises.
 
Looped:
 
These waveforms include sounds with long decays as 
well as sustained sounds. Loop waveforms repeatedly 
play back (loop) the portion of the waveform after the 
sound has reached a relatively steady state. The 
Fantom-XR’s looped waveforms also include 
components of other sounds, such as piano-string 
resonant vibrations and the hollow sounds of brass 
instruments.
 
Cautions When Using a One-shot 
Waveform
 
It is not possible to use the envelope to modify a one-shot waveform 
to create a decay that is longer than the original waveform, or to turn 
it into a sustaining sound. If you were to program such an envelope, 
you would be attempting to shape a portion of the sound that simply 
doesn’t exist, and the envelope would have no effect.
