Adding the distinctive depth of an electric instrument

Electric instruments have a distinctive tonal character that is produced by

the idiosyncrasies of their electrical circuitry. The Fantom-X uses powerful

modeling technology that can replicate this distinctive “warmth” and

“depth.”

For electrical instruments such as electric piano, guitar, and bass, the amp is an important element in

determining the character of the sound. The Fantom-X contains a “guitar amp simulator” that models

actual guitar amps, replicating aspects of the sound such as the distortion that gradually increases in

proportion to the level of the input, and responding to your playing touch.

The original purpose of a compressor is to make the volume more consistent, but you can also take

advantage of a compressor’s characteristic tonal changes to give your sound more punch. When a high

volume is input, the compressor will hold down the volume but will simultaneously give the sound a

powerful and punchy character. You can take advantage of this tonal change to create a rich variety of

tones while maintaining a consistent volume. To give you optimal control over this, the Fantom-X

provides two types of compressors (COMPRESSOR and LO-FI COMPRESS), letting you create virtually

any type of compressed sound.
