Creating a Rhythm Set
Creating a Rhythm Set
With the Fantom, you have total control over a wide variety of
settings. Each item that can be set is known as a
parameter . When
you change the values of parameters, you are doing what is referred
to as
Editing . This chapter explains the procedures used in creating
rhythm sets, and the functions of the rhythm set parameters.
How to Make the Rhythm Set
Settings
Start with an existing rhythm set and edit it to create a new rhythm
set. Rhythm sets are created from a collection of multiple rhythm
tones (percussion instruments). You can change the assignments of
the rhythm tones for each key with rhythm set edit.
1. Access the PATCH PLAY screen, and select the rhythm set
whose settings you wish to modify (p. 40).
You cannot edit the rhythm sets in the PR-E (GM2) group.
If you want to create all your rhythm sets from the ground up,
rather than the rhythm sets that have already been prepared,
carry out the
Initialize operation (p. 69).
2. Press [MENU].
The Menu window appears.

3. Press or to select “Rhythm Edit,” and then press [8
(Select)].
The Rhythm Edit screen appears.

4. The parameters are organized into several editing groups.
Press [1 ( ▲ )] or [2 ( ▼ )] to select the tab for the editing group
that contains the parameter you wish to edit.
For details on how the parameters are grouped, refer to
“Parameter list” (Sound/Parameter List).
5. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the parameter you
wish to modify.
• Some of the parameters have a “ ” symbol. This indicates that
if you press [LIST] when setting one of these parameters, the
related window will appear. For example if you press [LIST] at a
parameter that requires you to specify a name, the Name
window will appear.
• When all the parameters cannot be shown within a single
settings screen, a scroll bar will be displayed at the right side of
the screen. In such cases, press
to scroll the screen
downward.
• If you have selected a screen of parameters that can be specified
individually for each rhythm tone, move the cursor to “Key”
(located in the upper part of the Rhythm Edit screen), and
specify the key (rhythm tone) whose settings you want to edit.
You can also press a note on the keyboard to specify the key.
• To switch a wave on/off, move the cursor to the “Wave Switch”
in the upper part of the Rhythm Edit screen, and make the
desired settings. From the left, these are Wave Switches 1–4.
Assigning a check mark (✔) will turn the wave on, and
removing the check mark will turn it off.
6. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to get the value
you want.
7. Repeat steps 4–6 to complete a rhythm set.
8. If you wish to save the changes you’ve made, press [6
(Write)] to perform the Save operation (p. 72). If you do not
wish to save changes, press [EXIT] to return to the PATCH
PLAY screen.
If you return to the PATCH PLAY screen without saving, the
display will indicate “EDITED,” reminding you that the rhythm
set settings have been modified.
If you turn off the power or select a different sound while the
display indicates “EDITED,” your edited rhythm set will be lost.
Initializing Rhythm Set Settings (Init)
“Initialize” means to return the settings of the currently selected
sound to a standard set of values or to the factory settings.
The Initialize operation will affect only the currently selected
sound; the sounds that are stored in user memory will not be
affected. If you wish to restore all of the Fantom’s settings to
their factory values, perform a Factory Reset (p. 195).
1. Access the PATCH PLAY screen, and select the rhythm set
that you wish to initialize (p. 40).
2. Access the Rhythm Edit screen (p. 69).
