Scale Tune for Patch Mode
The Fantom-Xa allows you to play the keyboard using temperaments other than equal temperament. The pitch is specified in one-cent units
relative to the equal tempered pitch.
* One-cent is 1/100th of a semitone.
One set of Scale Tune settings can be created in Patch mode. In Performance mode, this can be set for each part of the performance (p. 76).
* In Patch mode, this is valid only for the keyboard part.
• The selected scale applies to MIDI messages received from an external MIDI device.

Explanation
Overall tuning of the Fantom-Xa
The display shows the frequency of the A4 note (center A).
Shifts the overall pitch of the Fantom-Xa in semitone steps.
Volume of the entire Fantom-Xa
Output gain from the Fantom-Xa's Output
When, for example, there are relatively few voices being sounded, boosting the output gain
can let you attain the most suitable output level for recording and other purposes.
How the sound of the entire Fantom-Xa will be output
MIX: Set this to have the collective output of all sounds output from the OUTPUT A (MIX)
jacks. When you want to check the final overall sound being output, set to MIX.
PARALLEL: Output according to each Output Assign settings.
* Sounds which are set in the respective Output Assign to be output from the INDIVIDUAL 3 jack are
output from the left OUTPUT A (MIX) jack; sounds which are set to be output from the INDIVIDU-
AL 4 jack are output from the right OUTPUT A (MIX) jack.
* Sounds output from the PHONES jack are the same as those output from the OUTPUT A (MIX)
jacks. Therefore, any sounds set with Output Assign to be output from the OUTPUT B jacks is not
output from the PHONES jack. Be sure to have any sound you want to hear through the headphones
set to "MIX."
SINGLE: The notes specified by Preview 1–4 Note Number will sound successively one by one.
CHORD: The notes specified by Preview 1–4 Note Number will sound simultaneously.
PHRASE: The Phrase associated with the patch's type/category is played.
Specify the pitch of the four notes that will sound when the Preview Mode is set to "SINGLE"
or "CHORD."
* If "PHRASE" is selected for the Preview Mode parameter, these settings will have no effect.
Specify the velocity of the four notes that will sound when the Preview Mode is set to "SINGLE"
or "CHORD."
* If "PHRASE" is selected for the Preview Mode parameter, these settings will have no effect.
Turn this on when you wish to use a tuning scale other than equal temperament.
Make scale tune settings for Patch mode.
