Since we're concerned with setting up the use of a realtime controller
4
here, select a Control Change message—we'll select CC74 (Cutoff ) for
our example.
We'll set up just one patch parameter for control now, just to show
you how it's done. Each parameter controlled in realtime has its own
subgroup of parameters.
Use the Control 1 Destination 1 parameter to select the parameter
5
you want to control. We're going to select the filter cutoff (CUTOFF)
for simplicity's sake.
Here's something important to understand: You can use absolutely
any CC message to control any patch parameter. We're using CC 74
(CUTOFF) here to control the patch's cutoff (brightness) value only to
make things simple. CC 74 is typically used for the filter cutoff value,
but when you're setting up realtime control in the Fantom-G, you're
free to use any Control Change message for any purpose.
The Control 1 Sens 1 parameter allows you to set how subtle or
6
radical you want the effect of realtime control on the destination
parameter to be. We'll leave it at + 10 for now.
The Sens parameter can have a plus or minus value. With plus values,
the higher you push a slider or turn a knob, the greater the amount
of change is applied. With negative values, the opposite occurs. This
lets you increase one parameter's value while lowering another's with
a single realtime controller movement.
The four Control 1 Switch 1 values allow you to turn realtime control
7
of individual tones within the patch on or off. We'll leave them on.
Now that we've set up all of the parameters for controlling one
parameter in this patch, we'll stop. To control other parameters,
repeat Steps 4-7 for them now.
The patch is now set up for realtime control. If you like, you
can jump ahead to setting up the realtime controls, where
you can program one up to generate the type of control
source data you selected in Step 4.
To preserve your realtime control settings, save the patch as described
in the Saving Your Work on the Fantom-G Workshop booklet.
If you find that—after setting up a patch and the realtime controller
you want to use—the patch isn't responding to realtime control, check
its Part View MIDI Rx Filter parameters to make sure that response to
the type of control you're using hasn't been disabled.
Setting Up a Patch's PFX for Realtime Control
Select the patch or part whose PFX you want to set up, and then, in:
1
•
Single mode—
click F5 (PFX).
•
Live mode or Studio mode—
and then P2 (PFX).
For controlling PFX in realtime, the setup is much the same as it is
with realtime patch control, but simpler. With PFX, you can have up to
four control sources, each one of which can control the value of one
of the current PFX's parameters. Each control has its own set of three
parameters: Source, Destination, and Sens.
