TroubleshootingThe sound is interrupted.Sounds will be interrupted if more than 128 voices are usedsimultaneously.• Reduce the number of Tones that you are using.• Increase the Voice Reserve setting for parts that must not dropout. (p. 111)When I play the keyboard, notes do not stop.Is the pedal polarity of the Hold Pedal reversed?Check the Hold Pedal Polarity parameter setting (p. 226).When I press a pad, the sound does not stop sounding.Could the [HOLD] pad be lit?Press the [HOLD] pad once again so the light goes out.The sound cuts off when I switch Patches in Patch mode...Although you can apply a wide variety of multi-effects with theFantom-X’s multi-effects, switching the Patch also switches thetype of multi-effects used.In such instances, discrepancies between the sound beingproduced and the multi-effects type can arise, which may resultin sounds being different than intended, so sounds producedwhen Patches are switched may be muted when factory settingsare in effect. In certain situations, such as when not using multieffectsthat have a great influence on the sound, remembering toset Patch Remain parameter (p. 230) to “ON” allows you toswitch Patches without sounds being muted.When switching Patches in Patch mode, the volume and otherparameters set with Control Changes end up being reset.Set Patch Remain parameter (p. 230) to “ON.” Even once theyhave switched Patches, Control Change messages that havebeen received are carried forward, so even when switching aPatch whose level is turned all the way down by a ControlChange volume message, the level remains unchanged.If the Tone Delay time value is set to the note, then does thedelay time not change beyond a fixed length when the tempo isslowed down?There is a maximum permissible value for the Delay Timeparameter (p. 75). So, if the time setting is specified in terms of anote value, and the tempo is slowed down, this maximumpermissible value will be reached, and it cannot be increasedfurther. The upper time limit for each is the maximum valuethat can be set other than the numerical value for the beat.Even when I set the Pan for a Patch completely to one side,sound still comes from the other channel...The Fantom-X’s internal effects are in stereo, so if you haveeffects applied to a Patch, even if the Pan is set all the way toone side, you will still be able to hear sounds of the effectcomponent from the other channel.Sometimes, when playing legato, the pitch won’t rise. Why isthis?When the Legato Switch parameter (p. 77) is “ON,” and theLegato Retrigger parameter (p. 77) is “OFF,” and you holddown keys in the high register to play legato, the upper pitchlimit of the wave may be exceeded, so that the pitch does notrise as far as you expect, but will stop rising at a certain point.Additionally, if differing upper pitch limits are used for thewaves of a Patch that uses multiple tones, it may stop beingheard in MONO. When making large pitch changes, set theLegato Retrigger parameter to “ON.”The notes sound strange in the upper registers of the keyboard.Sometimes when playing the keys in the upper part of theFantom-X’s keyboard, the sound may stop, or the pitch maystop rising; or with certain keys, there may be intermittentnoise. This occurs mainly when the Fantom-X’s upper pitchlimit is exceeded, so this issue doesn’t arise in the rangesnormally used. But, in any case, it does not indicate amalfunction.Although the same Patch is selected, it sounds different when Ilisten to it in the Performance.In Performance mode, the parameters of each part of theperformance can apply further modification to parameters suchas pan, octave, and filter, relative to the settings specified by thepatch. Thus, Patches in a Performance may sound different thanthey do when heard in Patch mode. To return these settings totheir initial conditions, select the Patch after execute FactoryReset Temporary for the Performance. (p. 235)Additionally, although a Patch may comprise tones createdwith the use of the multi-effects, the multi-effects used in thePerformance may differ from the multi-effects selected by thePatch. Check the multi-effect settings of the performance. Alsodo the same for the Chorus and Reverb settings.The volume level of the instrument connected to Fantom-X istoo low.Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor250
