Using the Pads
This pad mode allows you to use the pads to trigger phrases
generated by the RPS (Realtime Phrase Sequence) function.
For example, complex phrases that would be difficult to play
manually in a live performance can be assigned to the pads, and then
triggered by a single finger at the appropriate moment.
You can also create phrases for individual instruments such as
drums, bass, or keyboard, and combine these to create a new song.
In addition, you can record this performance, allowing you to use
this function in a way similar to phrase sampling.
1.
Press [PAD MODE], and then press pad [5] (RPS).
2.
Press the pads [1]–[16] to trigger the phrase assigned to
each pad.
• Pads that can play phrases will light. Currently-playing pads
will blink.
You must play back the song if you want to play phrases in
synchronization with the song, or if you want to play multiple
phrases in synchronization.
• If the song is not playing, the phrase will begin playing as soon
as you press the pad, regardless of how the Trigger Quantize
parameter is set.
• Phrases will play in synchronization with the song’s time
signature (beat track). This means that if no performance data
has been recorded, the song will not play, and therefore the
phrases cannot play back in synchronization. In this case, you’ll
have to insert several empty measures into the phrase track, and
then play it as a loop.
The phrase playback tempo will be the same as the song playback
tempo.
1.
Press [TEMPO].
2.
The Tempo window will appear, indicating the current
tempo.
3.
Turn the VALUE dial or use [INC] [DEC] to specify the
tempo value (5.00–300.00). If you hold down [SHIFT] and
turn the VALUE dial you’ll be able to adjust the value below
the decimal point. You can also specify the tempo by
repeatedly pressing [F6 (Tap Tempo)] at the desired tempo
(Tap Tempo function).
If you press [F7 (Click)] to turn it on, the click will sound.
4.
When you’ve finished making settings, press [F8 (Close)].
You can press [PAD SETTING]
to edit the following settings.
For details on editing and
saving, refer to
In the Pad Setting screen,
you can press [F2 (Pad Exchg)] to exchange two pads (Pad
Exchange, p. 190).
Pressing [F6 (Rhythm Ptn)] switches you to the RHYTHM PTN
mode.
RPS Set Number

RPS Set Numbers are stored on an individual Live/Studio Set
basis. Using
choose to have the RPS Set Number follow the setting of each
Live/Studio Set (TEMP), or follow the Fantom-G’s global
settings (SYS).
Phrase Number
Selects the phrase that is assigned to each pad 1–16. The name of the
selected phrase is shown along with the phrase number.
Choose “OFF” for keys or pads to which you don’t want to assign a
phrase. If you assign “STOP” to a pad, that pad will act as the “stop
trigger” that stops the currently-playing phrases.
Value:
STOP, OFF, 0001–2000
