Using the Pads
You can strike the Fantom-G’s pads to play samples, rhythms, or
phrases, or you can use the pads as sixteen switches to turn various
parameters on/off. The pads can operate in one of sixteen modes.
Press [PAD MODE] to switch the pad mode.
1. Press [PAD MODE].
The pad mode window will
appear in the screen.
[PAD MODE] will blink, and
the currently selected pad
mode (pad [1]–[16]) will blink.
If you decide not to switch the
pad mode, press [PAD
MODE] once again. [PAD MODE] will go dark, and you’ll
return to the previous state.
2. Press a pad [1]–[16].
The pad mode will be switched. For details about operation in
each pad mode, refer to the table below and the corresponding
reference pages.
If you press the pad [NUMERIC]
button to make it light, the pads
will act as numeric keys.
→ “Using the pad for numeric
input” (p. 41)
By using the Hold function, you can make the sound continue even
after you take your finger off the pad. This is convenient when you
want a sound to continue, such as a phrase that you want to loop
(play repeatedly).
The Hold function is available only if the pad mode is
1 SAMPLE PAD or 2 RHYTHM.
Sustaining a sound while you play
other sounds
1. While holding down a pad,
press [HOLD].
[HOLD] and the pad will
blink.
That pad will be held, and
will continue sounding even
after you release your finger
from it. If you press another
pad in this state, it will
sound only as long as you
continue holding it.
2. The pad that was being held will stop sounding when you
press the blinking pad or [HOLD] once again.
Sustaining multiple sounds
1. Press [HOLD] to make the
pad light.
2. Press a pad.
The pad will blink, and will
continue sounding. If you
press other pads in this
state, they will also continue
sounding.
3. The sound will stop when
you once again press a blinking pad. If you press [HOLD],
all pads will stop sounding.
The Hold function won’t work in the following situations.
• For a rhythm set in which “Tone Env Mode” (p. 108) is set to
“NO-SUS”
• For a sample set in which
“One Shot Mode”
(p. 118) is turned on
• For a sample set in which
“Trigger Mode”
(p. 129) is set to “DRUM”
