Modifying the Sound in Real Time
SOLO SYNTH
On the Fantom-S you can play a monophonic synthesizer whose
pitch is controlled by the D Beam.
1.
Hold down [JUMP] and press D BEAM [SOLO SYNTH].
The Solo Synth screen appears.
fig.13-02d_50
2.
Move the cursor to the parameter that you want to set, and turn
the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to make the setting.
3.
If you want to save the settings, press [8 (System Write)].
If you press [EXIT] the Assignable screen will close.
Setting for the Solo Synth are saved for system settings.
When you press [7 (Panel View)], the Panel View screen will
appear, which displays the above parameters in graphical
fashion, simulating an analog synthesizer. From the Panel View
screen, you can press [2 (Image View)] to open the Image View
screen, where you can see a graphical indication of the D Beam
output value. Press [EXIT] to leave this screen. To exit from this
screen, press [EXIT].
OSC 1/2 Waveform
Select the waveform.
SAW
is a sawtooth wave, and
SQR
is a square
wave.
Value:
SAW, SQR
OSC 1/2 Pulse Width
Specifies the pulse width of the waveform. By cyclically modifying
the pulse width you can create subtle changes in the tone.
* The Pulse Width is activated when “SQR” is selected with OSC1/2 waveform.
Value:
0–127
OSC 1/2 Coarse Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or down in semitone steps
(+/-4 octaves).
Value:
-48–+48
OSC 1/2 Fine Tune
Adjusts the pitch of the tone’s sound up or down in 1-cent steps (+/-
50 cents).
Value:
-50–+50
OSC2 Level
Adjust the OSC2 level.
Value:
0–127
OSC1 Sync Switch
Turning this switch on produces a complex sound with many
harmonics. This is effective when the OSC1 pitch is higher than the
OSC2 pitch.
Value:
OFF, ON
Filter Type
Selects the type of filter.
OFF:
No filter is used.
LPF:
Low Pass Filter. This reduces the volume of all frequencies
above the cutoff frequency. in order to round off, or un-
brighten, the sound. This is the most common filter used in
synthesizers.
BPF:
Band Pass Filter. This leaves only the frequencies in the region
of the cutoff frequency, and cuts the rest. This can be useful
when creating distinctive sounds.
HPF:
High Pass Filter. This cuts the frequencies in the region below
the cutoff frequency. This is suitable for creating percussive
sounds emphasizing their higher ones.
PKG:
Peaking Filter. This emphasizes the frequencies in the region
of the cutoff frequency. You can use this to create wah-wah
effects by employing an LFO to change the cutoff frequency
cyclically.
Cutoff
Selects the frequency at which the filter begins to have an effect on
the waveform’s frequency components.
Value:
0–127
Resonance
Emphasizes the portion of the sound in the region of the cutoff
frequency, adding character to the sound. Excessively high settings
can produce oscillation, causing the sound to distort.
Value:
0–127
Level
Sets the volume.
Value:
0–127
Chorus Send Level
Sets the level of the signal sent to chorus.
Value:
0–127
Reverb Send Level
Sets the level of the signal sent to reverb.
Value:
0–127
LFO Rate
Adjusts the modulation rate, or speed, of the LFO.
Value:
0–127
LFO Osc 1 Pitch Depth
Specifies the depth to which the LFO will modulate the OSC1 pitch.
Value:
-63–+63
