Overview of the Fantom VS

 

A performance has a patch or rhythm set assigned to each of 

the 16 parts, and can simultaneously handle 16 sounds. 

Because the Fantom sound generator can control multiple 

sounds (instruments) it is called a Multi-timbral sound 

generator.

A “part” is something to which you assign a patch or rhythm 

set. The Fantom VS has sixteen parts, and you can assign a 

patch or rhythm set to each part.

The Fantom VS can play a maximum of 128 sounds 

simultaneously. The following paragraphs discuss what this 

means, and what will happen when more than 128 

simultaneous voices are requested from the Fantom VS.

 

The Fantom VS is able to play up to 128 notes 

simultaneously. The polyphony, or the number of voices 

(sounds) does not refer only to the number of patches 

actually being played, but changes according to the number 

of tones used in the patches, and the number of waves used 

in the tones. The following method is used to calculate the 

number of sounds used for one patch being played.

(Number of patches being played) x (Number of tones used 

by patches being played) x (Number of waves used in the 

tones)

For example, a patch that combines four tones, each of which 

use two waves, will use eight notes of polyphony at once. 

 

When the Fantom VS is requested to play more than 128 

voices simultaneously, currently sounding notes will be 

turned off to make room for newly requested notes. The note 

with the lowest priority will be turned off first. The order of 

Patch Priority can be set either to “LAST” or “LOUDEST.” 

When “LAST” is selected, a newly requested note that 

exceeds the 128 voice limit will cause the first-played of the 

currently sounding notes to be turned off. When “LOUDEST” 

is selected, the quietest of the currently sounding notes will 

be turned off. Usually, “LAST” is selected.
