Roland Fantom-X User Manual page 7

To select a specific drum key for editing, play it on the pads or
keyboard.
Play the pads when you're editing a rhythm set intended for use on the
pads in order to ensure that they respond the way you want. If the rhythm
set will be played on the keyboard, use the keyboard for editing.
The top-center of the Rhythm Edit screen shows the currently
selected drum key, identified by both note number and
name.
It's possible to inadvertently select a drum key other than the one you'd
like to work on by accidentally playing the wrong pad or keyboard key.
During editing, keep an eye on the drum key's note number/name to make
sure you're changing settings for the right drum key.
Changing a Drum Key's Sound
Since a drum key is made up of its waves, you change its sound
by selecting the desired waveforms or samples for each wave
and adjusting the waves' parameters to taste.
Activating and Selecting Waves
Press F8 (Wave Sw/Sel) to display the Wave Sw/Wave Select
window.
• To turn each of the four waves on or off—press the desired
F1-F4 button. When a wave is active, its button lights
yellow onscreen.
• To edit a wave's parameters—press the corresponding
F5-F8 button. When a wave's selected for editing, its
button turns red. To edit the parameters of multiple waves
simultaneously, press their F buttons at the same time.
To return to the drum key parameters, press EXIT.
The Drum Key Parameter Sections
The drum key parameters are arranged in sections from top
to bottom on the Fantom-X display. To move from section to
section, press F2 (↓) and/or F1 (↑). To edit a parameter within
the selected section, press 5 or 6 to highlight it, and then
turn the VALUE dial to adjust its setting.
What the Parameter Sections Do
Your Owner's Manual—starting on Page 87—provides more
details than we have room for here, but here's a general
overview to get you started.
• General—The General section has a Rhythm Level setting
that adjusts the overall level for the entire rhythm set.
The rest of these parameters apply to the currently
selected drum key as a whole. It's where you name it, set
its controller response, and make mute group assignments.
See Page 87 in the Owner's Manual for more.
• Wave—These parameters allow you to select each wave's
PCM wavesample(s) or samples(s), and set their basic
behavior. See Page 88 in the Owner's Manual.
• WMT (Wave Mix Table)—Set the pitch, level, pan, and
velocity range for each wave here. See Page 89 in the
Owner's Manual.
