Creating a Patch
Changes you make to sound settings are temporary, and will be lost
if you turn off the power or select another sound. If you want to keep
the modified sound, you must save it in the internal USER group
(user memory) or CARD group (memory card).

One-shot Waveform and Loop
Waveform
Waveform
The internal waveforms of the Fantom-Xa fall into the following two
groups.
groups.
One-shot:
These waveforms contain sounds that have short decays. A one-shot
waveform records the initial rise and fall of the sound.

The Fantom-Xa 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.

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.

into a sustaining sound.
Loop:
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-Xa’s looped waveforms also include components of

hollow sounds of brass instruments.

Tips for Using an Acoustic
Instrument’s Waveform
Instrument’s Waveform
With many acoustic instruments such as piano and sax, extreme
timbral changes occur during the first few moments of each note.
