Rhythm Sets in Performance Mode
When you want to layer sounds, create keyboard splits,
or record a full music arrangement, you’ll use the
Fantom-X’s Performance mode. A single Fantom-X
performance can contain up to 16 different rhythm sets.
To learn about using rhythm sets in live performance, see the Performing
with the Fantom-X Workshop series booklet. Recording Music on the
Fantom-X discusses the use of rhythm sets in recording.
How a Rhythm Set Works
Each rhythm set drum key is comprised of four sound-
producing devices called “waves.” A wave in a drum key serves
the same purpose as a “tone” in a regular patch: It plays the
recordings that make up the sound.
When you’re editing a rhythm set, the word “tone” refers to a drum key
onscreen.
Each wave can play:
• a stereo waveform or sample, or
• two mono waveforms or samples.
A drum key may or may not use all four of its waves, depending on the
complexity of the sound the programmer is trying to achieve.
Each drum key in a rhythm set is a lot like an entire standard patch. See
“How a Patch Works” in The Sounds of the Fantom-X Workshop Series
booklet if you’d like to learn more about the mechanics of a patch.
Each wave has its own set of parameters that determine how its
waveforms or samples play. In addition, there are parameters
that control the behavior of the entire drum key.
Editing or Creating Your Own Rhythm Sets
Edit an existing rhythm set instead of starting from scratch—tweaking
a rhythm set that’s already close to what you want is a lot easier than
building one from the ground up.
Select a rhythm set for the pads or keyboard, and then press
PATCH EDIT to get to the rhythm set’s parameters.
