System Control
This function, which departs from previously used methods,
and instead allows you to use MIDI messages to change tone
settings in realtime, is called the Matrix Control (p. 49).
Similarly, the function allowing you to use MIDI messages to
change multi-effects settings in realtime is called the Multi-
effects Control (p. 162).
Normally, the Matrix Control is used for making patch settings,
and the Multi-effects Control for making settings to patches,
rhythm sets, and performances.

However, if you do not need to change the MIDI messages used
for matrix control or multi-effects control by each patch/
rhythm set/performance, or if you want to use a specific MIDI
message for matrix control or multi-effects control, you will
want to make use of System Control. In other words, you
could call the System Controls global Matrix Control/Multi-
effects Control for the entire Fantom-Xa.
You can use up to four System Controls.
