Transposing The Keyboard - Roland Fantom G6 Workshop Manual

Realtime Control Area
The Fantom-G's realtime controls let you temporarily re-shape sounds
on-the-fly in Single mode—we'll discuss them in the Manipulating Sounds in
Realtime Workshop booklet. The Realtime Control area shows what they're
up to. F4 (Control) reveals their setup screen, but you needn't go there now.

When an S1 or 2 switch is set to the same job as a control knob, turning
on the S switch also lights the control knob's settings onscreen.

Transposing the Keyboard

Normally, the Fantom-G keyboard plays in concert pitch. (On the Fantom X6
and X7, Middle C is roughly beneath the F3 button. On the Fantom-G X8,
Middle C is roughly beneath the F4 button.) By transposing the Fantom-G
keyboard, you can play in any key you find physically comfortable as your
notes are automatically converted to the desired transposed pitches.
As we noted on Page 4, the small keyboard under the Patch Number/
Name parameter shows the notes the keyboard's actually producing.
If you register a Favorite of a patch you're transposing, the Favorite
remembers the transposition for you.
