Data Thin - Roland Fantom-Xa Owner's Manual

Thinning Out the Sequencer Data

(Data Thin)

Continuously variable controllers such as aftertouch, pitch bend, and
expression tend to create unexpectedly large amounts of data when
operated. Data Thin will strip out redundant data to increase the
amount of memory available for the sequencer.
For details on the settings, refer to Basic Operation for Track
Editing (p. 133).
