Issues Related to Wave Expansion
Boards
How many types of wave expansion boards
can be installed?
You can install two SRX series boards and one SR-JV80 series
board, for a total of three.
If the Wave Expansion Board is reinstalled in a
different slot, do Program Change and Bank
Select numbers also change?
Since fixed Bank Select numbers are assigned to the board
itself, Bank Select numbers and Program Changes do not
change, even when the slot position changes.
For more about the relationship between the Bank Select MSB/
LSB and corresponding tone groups, refer to <Bank Select and
Program Change Correspondence Chart> (Sound/Parameter
List).
When can I use more than one of the same
type of Wave Expansion Board?
No. For example, if the same type of Wave Expansion Board is
installed in the EXP B slot and the EXP C slot, it will only be
possible to select data from the Wave Expansion Board that was
installed in the EXP B slot.

Issues Related to Connections

What are the differences between the OUTPUT
A (MIX) jacks and OUTPUT C jacks on the
Fantom's rear panel?
Although (MIX) is shown only on the OUTPUT A jacks, this is
only because factory settings assign the Chorus and Reverb
Effect Return for each Tone's Send system set to A. However, you
can also have these Chorus and Reverb Returns set to other jacks.
Additionally, the PHONES jack is connected to the OUTPUT A
(MIX) jack, so when the Mix/Parallel parameter (SYSTEM/General)
is set to "PARALLEL," the sounds output from the OUTPUT B jack
are not audible through the headphones. When you wish to monitor
all the sound through the headphones, set the Mix/Parallel
parameter to "MIX."

How do I use L (MONO), and what do I need
to note when using it?
L (MONO) is a feature particular to the OUTPUT A (MIX)
jacks. When using only this L (MONO) jack, the sounds
output in stereo by the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks is output as a mixed
monaural signal from the L (MONO) jack. This can be convenient in
cases where you have no special need for stereo effects, as only one
cable is needed for the connection. Do be aware that when you want
to use INDIVIDUAL 1 or 2 as an independent parallel out, plugging
only into the INDIVIDUAL 1 jack enables the L (MONO) function,
and the sounds from both (INDIVIDUAL 1 and 2) are output from
the INDIVIDUAL 1 jack. In this case, plug a cable into the
INDIVIDUAL 2 jack to disable the L (MONO) function.

Issues Related to DIGITAL OUT

What is the number of bits and the sampling
rate of the output?
The output is 24-bit, 44.1 kHz.
What signal is output?
The output signal is identical to the signal that is output from
the OUTPUT A (MIX) jacks.
What do I need to keep in mind when using
DIGITAL OUT?
The VOLUME on the Fantom will not function, so volume
adjustments must be made on the connected device.

Miscellaneous

I want to use a tuning other than equal
temperament.
One set of Scale Tune settings can be created in Patch mode
(Owner's Manual; p. 186). In Performance mode or
Multitimbre mode, this can be set for each part of the performance or
multitimbre (Owner's Manual; p. 104, p. 120).
Next, turn the Scale Tune Switch parameter (SYSTEM/Scale Tune)
to "ON" (Owner's Manual; p. 186). This setting is valid for all
patches, performances, and multitimbres.
