Effect Basics What Are Effects? Effects are enhancements you apply to an audio signal. An effect can make the original audio sound as if it’s occurring in some real or imaginary physical space. It can add complexity to the audio, or it can even change its personality in ways ranging from subtle to o...

The Fantom-X Effect Processors Multi-Effects (MFX) Processors The Fantom-X contains a set of multi-effect processors, or “MFX processors” for short. They’re called “multi-effect” processors because each one is capable of producing any one of 78 different effects. For a list of the 78 MFX algorithms,...

You can send an audio signal to the reverb:• after the signal’s gone through an MFX processor —by setting its output to MFX and adjusting the signal’s MFX reverb send level. • directly —by setting the signal’s output to A or B and adjusting the signal’s non-MFX reverb send level. All signals routed ...

Selecting Effects MFX The MFX processors are the Fantom-X’s most powerful, so they make a good place to start when selecting your effects. To navigate to them, press EFFECTS, and then F3 (MFX1/2) in Patch mode, or F3 (MFX1/2/3) in Performance mode. When you do this, the screen for one of your MFX pr...

Here are three more examples. With this structure, signals going into MFX 1 continue on into MFX 2 so that both effects are applied. Signals going to MFX 3 remain separate. With this structure, signals going into MFX 1 and MFX 2 are processed separately, and then MFX 3’s effect is added to both. Wit...

In this next illustration, the chorus output goes to the selected output pair (in red) and to the reverb (in blue). And the reverb goes to the selected output pair (in red). In Performance Mode To preserve your effects settings, be sure to write the performance to the Fantom-X’s memory before select...

When your musical arrangement hinges on the sound you select for a particular part—even though you’re still undecided about which patch or rhythm set you want to use—set an MFX processor to use the part’s effect. That way, as you try out each patch, its effect tags along automatically. When You’re A...

The Part Level and Output Assign Screens On the Part Level and Output Assign screens, each part’s output parameters are laid out in a horizontal strip. On the Part Level screen—press F1 (Level Pan)—you’ll find the part’s Level parameter, which sets the part signal’s basic volume. The Part Output Ass...

You don’t have to control four parameters in realtime. Just set up as many parameters for realtime control as you like. The Sys Ctrl area at the bottom of the screen lists the MIDI messages currently assigned to the four System Controllers. These globally-available realtime control sources are avail...

Here’s how to do this:1. Record your new idea on the Patch Play screen in Patch mode. To learn about recording, see the Workshop booklet Recording on the Fantom-X . 2. Press F7 (Kbd) and note the memory location of the patch you’re using. If you’ve recorded with a rhythm, press F8 (Pad) and make not...
