Troubleshooting
The Modulation or other controller is always 
on.
Check the Matrix Controller settings.
The Fantom allows you to use the Matrix Control to control 
Patches in real time. The Matrix Control functions as the control 
source for the Control Change and other MIDI messages received by 
the Fantom, and makes changes to the various Patch parameters 
based on these messages.
Depending on these settings, the Fantom may be responding to 
MIDI messages sent from external MIDI devices, and may result the 
Patches sounding different than intended.
For more detailed information on the Matrix Control, refer to the 
Owner's Manual (Owner’s Manual; p. 54).
Raising the chorus or reverb send level for 
each part of a performance/multitimbre still 
does not cause the effect to be applied sufficiently.
Although you can make Send level (PERFORMANCE, 
MULTITIMBRE/Effects) settings to the Chorus and Reverb 
for each individual Part in a Performance/Multitimbre, these values 
only set the upper limit of the Chorus and Reverb Send levels for the 
Patch used. Accordingly, even when the value is set to the maximum 
of 127, if the Send level is lowered in the Patch being used, there will 
be no effect. In addition, different Patch Chorus and Reverb Send 
level settings can be used according to whether or not the multi-
effects are used.
Using the Matrix Control or other such means 
to control the LFO results in noise when the 
Pan is changed suddenly.
Lower the change in speed (LFO Rate).
Due to the specialized processing used for the Pan, which 
alters the volume level in each of the left and right sides, sudden Pan 
movements causing rapid changes in these levels creates large 
changes in volume, and noise from this may be audible as a result.
Multi-effect 19: TRIPLE TAP DELAY or other 
delay time value is set to the note, and then 
the tempo is slowed down, does the delay time not 
change beyond a fixed length?
Such Delay time settings have an upper limit, so if the upper 
limit of a value set to the note is exceeded when the tempo is 
retarded, that upper value cannot rise any further. The upper time 
limit for each is the maximum value that can be set other than the 
numerical value for the beat.
Issues Related to Saving Data
The Performance/Multitimbre sounds different 
than when it was written.
If you have modified the settings of a patch used by a 
performance/multitimbre, or if the temporary patch of the 
performance/multitimbre has been modified by an external MIDI 
device, these patches must also be saved. 
If patches used by a performance/multitimbre have been edited 
when you write that performance/multitimbre, the Fantom will 
display a message asking whether you want to save these patches. If 
you are saving, the Write window for the edited patch will be 
displayed. Perform the Write operation (Owners Manual; p. 93, p. 
114).
Patches sound different than when written.
The write operation cannot be used to save Patches as 
changed in Patch mode using Control Change messages from 
an external MIDI device.
Refer to “MIDI Implementation” (Sound /Parameter List) for 
more on the Control Change messages that are received.
Even when I set the Power Up Mode 
parameter (SYSTEM/General) to “LAST SET,” 
the performance/multitimbre/patch settings are 
different than when the power was turned off. 
If the Power Up Mode parameter is set to “LAST SET,” the 
Fantom will remember the last-selected mode and 
performance/multitimbre/patch numbers, and will call this data 
into the temporary area when the power is turned on. This means 
that if you edit or otherwise change the settings, and turn off the 
power without writing them into memory, the state of the 
performance/multitimbre/patch settings will not be remembered 
even the Power Up Mode parameter is set to “LAST SET.”
