Roland Fantom-Xa 业主指南

 

Multi-effects can be used individually by each patch and rhythm set. 
Chorus and reverb are each shared by patches and rhythm sets; the 
same effect applies to each tone. Adjusting the signal level to be sent 
to each effects unit (Send Level) provides control over the effect 
intensity that’s applied to each tone.

The multi-effects, chorus and reverb can be set individually for each 
performance. The intensity of each effect will be set for each part.
When you apply effects in Performance mode, the effect settings of 
the patch or rhythm set assigned to each part will be ignored, and 
the effect settings of the performance will be used. Thus, the effects 
for the same patch or rhythm set may differ when played in Patch 
mode and in Performance mode. However, depending on the 
settings, you can have effect settings for a patch or rhythm set 
assigned to a part applied to the entire performance. In addition, 
when using the multi-effects settings of a performance, you can use 
three different multi-effects simultaneously, depending on the effect 
type.

A sequencer records keyboard performance and controller 
movements as MIDI messages (sequencer data). As the data plays 
back, the recorded MIDI messages are sent to a sound generator 
which will produce the required sounds. The sequencer actually 
plays instruments instead of the musician, and since it can record a 
musical performance, it is a tape recorder as well.

But in reality a sequencer doesn’t record sound, but actually the 
steps that cause the sound generator to produce sound, so it offers 
several advantages. Sound quality is always excellent, the equivalent 
of first-generation tape, no matter how many times the data plays 
back; tempo changes have no effect on pitch; detailed editing is 
possible, etc.

For the Fantom-Xa, musical performance data for one song or 
composition is referred to as a 

 

. A song combines sequencer 

data recorded on Phrase tracks 1–16, a Tempo track, a Beat track and 
a Pattern, as discussed below.

Each section of a song which stores musical performance data is 
called a 

 

.

 

Phrase tracks record the musical performance. Each Phrase track 
records musical performance data for 16 MIDI channels. Totally, up 
to 16 tracks x 16 MIDI channels of data can be recorded. It’s helpful if 
you’ve made decision prior to recording such as recording melody 
on Phrase track 1, bass on Phrase track 2, drums on Phrase track 10, 
and accompaniment on the remaining Phrase tracks.
