Explanation
Adjusts the contrast of the display.
Mode that the Fantom-Xa will be in when it is powered up.
PATCH: Patch mode
PERFORMANCE: Performance mode
Specifies whether currently sounding notes will continue sounding when another patch or
rhythm set is selected (ON), or not (OFF).
Also, when this is "ON," changes produced by incoming MIDI messages such as Volume or
Pan (CC 5, 7, 10, 65, 68, 71–74, RPN 0, 1, 2, MONO ON, POLY ON), as well as tonal quality
and volume changes produced by the various controllers will be inherited.
* Effects settings change as soon as you switch to a new patch or rhythm set, without being influenced
by the Patch Remain setting. Because of this, certain effects settings can cause notes that were until
then sounding to no longer be heard, even though Patch Remain has been set to "ON."
File format used when saving a sample
The length of sound preceding the moment at which sampling was manually or automatically
initiated that will be captured in the sample.
This lets you prevent the attack portion of the sound from being omitted from the sample.
Volume level at which sampling will begin when Auto Trig is "ON"
A setting of "0" is the minimum.
Length of silence at which the sample will be divided
Whenever there is a silent region longer than the specified time, the sample will be divided
at that point, and the next sample number will be assigned to the sound that follows.
* This parameter is valid only when you are using Auto Divide Sampling.
Input source of the external input sound
LINE IN L/R: L/R (stereo)
LINE IN L: L (mono)
MICROPHONE: L (mono, mic level)
If this is turned "ON," the Start point and End point settings will be automatically adjusted after
sampling is performed, so any silent portions at the beginning or end of the sampled sound are
excluded.
Specifies how much earlier in time that you want sampling to take place when you use Skip
Back Sampling. If "OFF" selected, skip-back sampling cannot be performed.
Explanation
Specifies whether the preset samples will be loaded into memory at power-on (ON) or not
(OFF).
Specifies whether the samples of the user area and memory card will be loaded into memory at
power-on (ON) or not (OFF).
Specifies whether the demo song will be loaded into the temporary area at power-on (ON), or
not (OFF).
