Playing Rhythms
About Rhythm Patterns
The Fantom-S contains 256 preset rhythm patterns. You can play a
variety of rhythm patterns simply by pressing the pads. In addition
to using these built-in rhythm patterns, you can also create your
own.
The 256 rhythm patterns are maintained as independent data; they
are not part of a performance’s data. This means that any one
rhythm pattern can be shared by various rhythm sets or
performances. In Performance mode, a number by which a rhythm
pattern is recalled can be stored as one of the performance
parameters. This number cannot be stored in Patch mode.
Using Rhythm Groups
A rhythm group is a set of rhythm pattern numbers, percussion
instrument sounds and a rhythm set assigned to the sixteen pads.
One rhythm group contains assignments for the sixteen pads.
fig.rhythm group.e
* You are free to change how rhythm pattern numbers and rhythm
sounds are assigned.
Rhythm group data is not part of a rhythm set or performance; the
32 rhythm groups are stored as independent data. This means that
any one rhythm group can be shared by various patches or
performances. In addition to using the built-in rhythm groups, you
can also create your own.
A rhythm group stores numbers by which rhythm patterns are
recalled. A performance can contain a number to recall one of these
rhythm groups. In Performance mode, a number by which a rhythm
group is recalled can be stored as one of the performance
parameters. This number cannot be stored in Patch mode.
