The Fantom provides numerous functions that enhance its 
playability for realtime performance, and let you develop this into 
musical productions.

Numerous drum patterns based in actual professional drum playing 
are built in. Twelve types of pattern variations including fills are 
assigned to an octave of the keyboard, allowing you to perform the 
drum part in real time. In addition, the drums can be made to play at 
a steady, natural tempo, regardless of the timing at which you press 
the keys.

A newly developed arpeggiator is also built-in. In addition to 
complex phrases that would be impossible to play by hand, you can 
also use the arpeggiator to play phrases that are similar to actual 
performance. Furthermore, the D Beam and other realtime 
controllers can be used to modify the arpeggio style. This not only 
makes for a dramatic leap in expressive potential during a live 
performance, but also supports your own playing.

Phrases played by rhythm patterns or the arpeggiator can be 
recorded on the sequencer just as they are played. Your realtime 
performance can be saved instantly as song data, or even used as a 
template for a step-recorded phrase.

In addition, patterns created on the sequencer can be triggered by 
the keyboard and played by the RPS (Realtime Phrase Sequence) 
function. Rhythm patterns and complex phrases created using the 
arpeggiator can be recorded on the sequencer, and then played in 
real time, for amazing live performance possibilities.

In a departure from the straight-line design of previous 
workstations, the Fantom features a distinctive design, which 
proclaims its worthiness as a true musical instrument, while at the 
same time projecting a sense of quiet dignity.

The Fantom is compatible with both General MIDI and General 
MIDI 2 standards. Any General MIDI and/or General MIDI 2 
compatible music data (GM score) can be played back on the 
Fantom.

General MIDI is a set of recommendations which seeks to 
provide a way to go beyond the limitations of proprietary 
designs, and standardize the MIDI capabilities of sound 
generating devices. Sound generating devices and music files 
that meet the General MIDI standard bear the General MIDI 

logo (

). Music files bearing the General MIDI logo can be 

played back using any General MIDI sound generating unit to 
produce essentially the same musical performance.

The upwardly compatible General MIDI 2 (

) 

recommendations pick up where the original General MIDI left 
off, offering enhanced expressive capabilities, and even greater 
compatibility. Issues that were not covered by the original 
General MIDI recommendations, such as how sounds are to be 
edited, and how effects should be handled, have now been 
precisely defined. Moreover, the available sounds have been 
expanded. General MIDI 2 compliant sound generators are 
capable of reliably playing back music files that carry either the 
General MIDI or General MIDI 2 logo.

In some cases, the conventional form of General MIDI, which 
does not include the new enhancements, is referred to as 
“General MIDI 1” as a way of distinguishing it from General 
MIDI 2.
