The Display; Button Up - Roland Fantom G6 Workshop Manual

Hold It
To add a sustain pedal to the Fantom-G, connect a damper pedal such as a
Roland DP-2 or DP-10 to the rear-panel HOLD jack.
Now Hear This
For this booklet, you can listen to your G through headphones connected
to the PHONES jack, or by connecting the jacks to an mixer, interface, or
amplifier attached to speakers.
Control Issues
While the second and third Fantom-G Workshop booklets, Power User Control
and Power User Control 2: The Pads go into detail regarding the operation of
the Fantom-G's front-panel buttons, knobs, switches, pads, and such, we
need to tell you just a few things to get started. For now, we'll discuss front-
panel operations without a mouse for simplicity's sake, and because not
everyone has a mouse. (The Power User Control booklet discusses mouse use
on the Fantom-G.) We do recommend using a mouse, of course.
The Fantom-G Display and F Buttons

The Display

Have you noticed the Fantom-G's display? (Just joking.) At the heart of
the Fantom-G's operation is its display that provides helpful information,
whatever you're doing. We'll discuss what you see there as we go along.

Button Up

Beneath the display is a row of 10 buttons.
All the way to the left you'll find the MENU button. (You've
already used it if you performed a factory reset on Page 2.)
Pressing this button displays a menu of important Fantom-G
operations.
At the right is the Display button that reveals a Shortcut Menu
window whose items take you immediately to some commonly
used screens.
In-between these two buttons are the eight F buttons that play a crucial role
in operating the Fantom-G. The F8 buttons are "soft buttons" whose behavior
depends on what you're doing, or, more specifically, what's currently on the
display above the buttons. Each button has a "soft" label shown onscreen.
In the instructions throughout the Fantom-G Workshop
booklets, when we want to you to press an F button, we'll
name the button and show its soft label in parentheses.
For example, we'd refer to F5 in the illustration above as "F5
(LiveSet List). "
In screens that contain more items than can be displayed at once, F6
will have a pages icon as shown in the illustration above—you can press
F6 to view the screen's second page or, to scroll down.
