Keyboard Area - Roland Fantom G6 Workshop Manual

The Single Play Screen
In the Fantom-G, each mode's Play screen acts as its home screen. Here's
what you'll see on the Single Play screen when you press the SINGLE MODE
button.
In this screenshot, we've set the pads to Rhythm mode.
There are parameters to set, information readouts, as well as the three global
mouse buttons available on all Fantom-G screens at the top right.
Top Information Strip
Screen name
•
Screen name— The title of this screen.
•
Active effects area— This informational area shows the effects that are
currently turned on. When an effect is on, it's lit. Otherwise, it's gray.
Song location readout
Active effects area Global mouse buttons
In Single mode, each patch has its own PFX, well as its own chorus and
reverb settings. You can also apply MFX 1 to an audio input or audio
track output, and you can use the Fantom-G's mastering effect on the
entire output. We'll discuss effects in the Fantom-G Effects booklet.
•
Song location readout— This shows your present location in the currently
loaded song.
•
Global mouse buttons— Available at the top of all Fantom-G screens,
these three icons act as buttons when you're using a mouse. The first
button takes you to the Menu screen, the middle one acts as a Back
button to the previous screen where that makes sense, and the last
button opens the Shortcut menu.

Keyboard Area

This area of the Single Play screen allows you to select the sound to be
played from the Fantom-G keyboard. Here's what its parameters are and do.
Part Group Part Number Type
Transposition area
•
Part group— This parameter lets you select the source of the sound you
want to play on the keyboard. You can choose Internal, EXP 1 or 2 for
sounds from an ARX board, or External to play external MIDI sounds.
When you've set Part Group to External, the Part Number, Type, and
Bank parameters operate in a special way. We'll talk about this after
we explain how they work when Part Group is set to Internal,
or EXP 2.
