Play an arpeggio by holding down a chord

The Arpeggio screen also contains the settings shown below. Even with the same chord held down,

changing these settings can produce entirely different phrases. Try out various settings to create the

phrase you want. You can also use the knobs to adjust some of these settings directly. (p. 35)

“Arpeggio Settings”

When you’re playing live, the tempo can change from performance to performance, making it difficult to

set the tempo beforehand. In such cases, you can use the Fantom-X’s

Tap Tempo

function to set the

tempo by repeatedly pressing a button at the desired tempo. If you use this to specify the tempo a few

measures before you start playing phrases, the phrase tempo will always be correct.

On the Fantom-X, all phrases (including audio data) can be synchronized to this tempo.

Adding other changes to the phrase

Range Explanation and suggestions for use

Oct Range Changes the octave range of the phrase

: This specifies the range of

pitches in which the arpeggiated phrase will sound, in units of one oc-

tave. Since the range can be extended as much as three octaves, you can

produce phrases that have dramatic changes in pitch. You can also use

this knob to adjust the Octave Range while you perform.

Arp Accent Changes the way in which accents occur

: This adjusts the volume ac-

cents of the arpeggiated phrase. Increasing this value will emphasize the

loud/soft dynamics. Lowering this value will produce flatter dynamics,

but may give you a greater sense of “speed” for techno-style phrases.

Arp/Rhythm Grid Adjusts the speed of the phrase

: This specifies the note value interval

at which the arpeggiated phrase will be played. By adjusting this setting

you can produce the extremely rapid phrases that can be played only by

an Arpeggio.

Arp/Rhythm Duration Specifies the duration of the notes

: Smaller values will shorten each

note, and greater values will lengthen each note.

Arp Motif

Specifies the order in which the notes will sound

: This specifies

whether the chord you hold down will be arpeggiated upward, down-

ward, in random order, etc.

Arp Velocity

Keyboard touch sensitivity setting

: This specifies whether your actu-

al playing dynamics on the keyboard will affect the loudness of the

notes, or whether they will sound at a pre-determined level regardless

of your playing dynamics.
