Creating a PatchCopying Patch (Tone) Settings(Copy)This operation copies the settings of any desired patch to thecurrently selected patch. You can use this feature to make the editingprocess faster and easier.1. Press [PATCH/RHYTHM] to access the Patch Play screen,and select the part (keyboard part or pad part) that you wantto edit and the copy-destination patch (p. 39).2. Press [PATCH EDIT].3. Press [F5 (Tone Copy)].fig.06-003_50The Patch Copy window appears.4. Press [CURSOR] to move the cursor, select the “Source(copy-source)” group and number, and patch/tone.5. Turn the VALUE dial or use [INC][DEC] to make settings.6. Press [CURSOR] to move the cursor, select the“Destination (copy-destination)” patch/tone/number.7. Turn the VALUE dial or use [INC][DEC] to make settings.Cautions When Selecting aWaveformThe sounds of the Fantom-X are based on complex PCM waveforms,and if you attempt to make settings that are contrary to the type ofthe original waveform, the results will not be as you expect.The internal waveforms of the Fantom-X fall into the following twogroups.One-shot: These waveforms contain sounds that have shortdecays. A one-shot waveform records the initial rise and fall of thesound. Some of the Fantom-X’s one-shot waveforms are sounds thatare complete in themselves, such as percussive instrument sounds.The Fantom-X also contains many other one-shot waveforms that areelements of other sounds. These include attack components such aspiano-hammer sounds and guitar fret noises.Looped: These waveforms include sounds with long decaysas well as sustained sounds. Loop waveforms repeatedly play back(loop) the portion of the waveform after the sound has reached arelatively steady state. The Fantom-X’s looped waveforms alsoinclude components of other sounds, such as piano-string resonantvibrations and the hollow sounds of brass instruments.The following diagram shows an example of sound (electric organ)that combines one-shot and looped waveforms.fig.06-005.eTVA ENV for looped Organwaveform (sustain portion)LevelTVA ENV for one-shot Key-click waveform (attack portion)+ =Resulting TVA ENVchange8.

Press [F8 (Exec)] to return to the Patch Edit screen.To cancel, press [F7 (Cancel)].The Compare Functionfig.06-004_50For the Patch Effect Copy andPatch Tone Copy operations,you can use the Comparefunction.If you want to play the copysourcepatch, press [F6(Compare)] to light it into red.Now you can play the copy-source patch from the keyboard orpads.Cautions When Using a One-shotWaveformIt is not possible to use the envelope to modify a one-shot waveformto create a decay that is longer than the original waveform, or to turnit into a sustaining sound. If you were to program such an envelope,you would be attempting to shape a portion of the sound that simplydoesn’t exist, and the envelope would have no effect.The patch auditioned using the Compare function maysound slightly different than when it is played normally.58
