Creating a PerformanceReceive SwitchEqual TemperamentThis tuning divides the octave into 12 equal parts, and is themost widely used method of temperament used in Westernmusic. The Fantom-X employs equal temperament when theScale Tune Switch is set to “OFF.”Just Temperament (Tonic of C)Compared with equal temperament, the principle triads soundpure in this tuning. However, this effect is achieved only in onekey, and the triads will become ambiguous if you transpose.Arabian ScaleIn this scale, E and B are a quarter note lower and C#, F# and G#are a quarter-note higher compared to equal temperament. Theintervals between G and B, C and E, F and G#, Bb and C#, andEb and F# have a natural third—the interval between a majorthird and a minor third. On the Fantom-X, you can use Arabiantemperament in the three keys of G, C and F.Note nameEqual temperament[F7 (External)]Just Temperament(tonic C)ArabianScaleC 0 0 -6C# 0 -8 +45D 0 +4 -2Eb 0 +16 -12E 0 -14 -51F 0 -2 -8F# 0 -10 +43G 0 +2 -4G# 0 +14 +47A 0 -16 0Bb 0 +14 -10B 0 -12 -49For each part, specify whether MIDI messages will be received (ON),or not (OFF).If this is “OFF,” the part will not respond.
