The basics of using the Fantom-X live
What is a Patch?
A "patch" is the basic unit of sound that you play on the Fantom-X; it
corresponds to the sound of an individual instrument such as a piano, organ,
or guitar.
What is Patch mode?
The easiest way to play the Fantom-X live is in Patch mode. This is the simplest way to use the Fantom-X

What is Performance mode?
Performance mode lets you play two or more of these basic patches simultaneously. Broadly speaking,
there are two ways to use the Fantom-X in Performance mode.
One is to play layers—setups that simultaneously produce two sounds (e.g., piano and strings) when you
play a note. "Playing two or more sounds simultaneously (Layers)" (p. 14)
The other is to play splits—setups that assign different sounds to the left and right regions of the
keyboard so that you can play different instruments with your left and right hands. "Playing separate
sounds with left and right hands (Splits)" (p. 16)

This chapter will focus mainly on how to use the Fantom-X in the most basic way by playing patches. We
will also take a look at how Performance mode lets you combine more than one patch.
