Overview of the Fantom VS

 

When using the Fantom VS, you will notice that a variety of 

different categories come into play when working with 

sounds. What follows is a simple explanation of each sound 

category.

 

On the Fantom VS, the tones are the smallest unit of sound. 

However, it is not possible to play a tone by itself. The patch 

is the unit of sound which can be played, and the tones are 

the basic building blocks which make up the patch.

Tones consist of the following five components.

 

Specifies the PCM waveform (wave) that is the basis of the 

sound, and determines how the pitch of the sound will 

change.

The Fantom VS has 1,240 different waveforms. All patches 

built into the Fantom VS consist of combinations of tones 

which are created based on these waveforms.

 

There are four wave generators for each rhythm tone 

(percussion instrument sounds).

 

Specifies how the frequency components of the sound will 

change.

 

Specifies the volume changes and the sound’s position in a 

stereo soundfield.

 

You use Envelope to initiate changes to occur to a sound 

over time. There are separate envelopes for Pitch, TVF (filter), 

and TVA (volume). For example if you wish to modify the way 

in which the sound attacks or decays over time, you would 

adjust the TVA envelope.

 

Use the LFO to create cyclic changes (modulation) in a sound. 

The Fantom VS has two LFOs. Either one or both can be 

applied to affect the WG (pitch), TVF (filter) and/or TVA 

(volume). When an LFO is applied to the WG pitch, a vibrato 

effect is produced. When an LFO is applied to the TVF cutoff 

frequency, a wah effect is produced. When an LFO is applied 

to the TVA volume, a tremolo effect is produced.

 

LFO is not included in the rhythm tones (percussion 

instrument sounds).
