Roland Fantom-X8 Manual Do Utilizador

 

This is the area that holds the data for the patch or performance that 
you’ve selected using the panel buttons.

When you play the keyboard or play back a sequence, sound is 
produced based on data in the temporary area. When you edit a 
patch or performance, you do not directly modify the data in 
memory; rather, you call up the data into the temporary area, and 
edit it there.

Settings in the temporary area are temporary, and will be lost when 
the power is turned off or when you select another patch/
performance. To keep the settings you have modified, you must 
write them into rewritable memory.

 

System memory stores system parameter settings that determine 
how the Fantom-X functions.

 

User memory is the internal memory area that holds patches, 
performances, samples, and performance data.

 

You can use a memory card to store patches, performances, samples, 
and performance data just as you can in User memory.

 

Data in Preset memory cannot be rewritten. However, you can call 
up settings from preset memory into the temporary area, modify 
them and then store the modified data in rewritable memory (except 
GM2).

 

The Fantom-X can be equipped with up to four Wave Expansion 
Boards (SRX series; sold separately). Wave Expansion Boards 
contain Wave data, as well as patches and rhythm sets that use this 
Wave data, which can be called directly into the temporary area and 
played.

The Fantom-X has built-in effect units, and you can independently 
edit each unit’s settings.

 

The multi-effects are multi-purpose effects that completely change 
the sound type by changing the sound itself. Contained are 78  
different effects types; select and use the type that suits your aims. In 
addition to effects types composed of simple effects such as 
Distortion, Flanger, and other such effects, you can also set up a 
wide variety of other effects, even connecting effects in series or in 
parallel. Furthermore, while chorus and reverb can be found among 
the multi-effects types, the following chorus and reverb are handled 
with a different system. In Performance mode, three types of multi-
effect can be used simultaneously; these are referred to as MFX1, 
MFX2, and MFX3. In Patch mode, the Keyboard part can use MFX1 
and the Pad part can use MFX2.

 

Chorus adds depth and spaciousness to the sound. You can select 
whether to use this as a chorus effect or a delay effect.

 

Reverb adds the reverberation characteristics of halls or 
auditoriums. Five different types are offered, so you can select and 
use the type that suits your purpose.

 

This is a stereo compressor (limiter) that is applied to the final 
output of the Fantom-X. It has independent high, mid, and low 
ranges. Independently for the high-frequency, mid-frequency, and 
low-frequency regions, this compresses any sounds that exceed the 
specified level, making the volume more consistent.
