Creating Your Own Chord Forms; Saving The Chord Forms You Have Created - Roland Fantom-Xa Owner's Manual

Creating Your Own Chord

determine the constituent notes of chords played using the Chord
Memory function, but you can also freely create and rewrite them as
well.

The CHORD MEMORY screen appears.

Use the VALUE dial or [INC] [DEC] to select a chord form.

Press [F5 (EDIT)].
A screen like the following appears.

Use the keyboard to input the chord that you want to play.
When you press a key, the note will be added in the screen.
• If you input a note by mistake, press [F3 (DELETE)]. You can
also erase a note you input by pressing the same key.
• If you want to erase all notes, press [F2 (ALL DEL)].
• You can press [F4 (PREVIEW)] to hear the chord that you are
inputting.

When you have finished, press [F5 (EXIT)].
Using the Chord Memory Function
Saving the Chord Forms You
Have Created
The Chord Forms you create are temporary; they are deleted as soon
as you turn off the power or select some other Chord Form. If you
want to keep a Chord Form you have made, save it to the Fantom-
Xa's user memory.
A chord form is not part of any patch or performance, but
rather independent data. Therefore you can use a single chord
form in different Patches and Performances.
In Performance mode you can save these settings
individually for each performance. These settings cannot be
saved in a patch. If you want to save your settings, press
[WRITE] and save the performance.
1.
In the CHORD MEMORY screen, confirm that the current
Chord Form is the one you want to save.
2.
Press [F6 (WRITE)].
The CHORD NAME screen appears.
fig.ChordName
3.

For details on assigning names, refer to p. 28.
4.
When you have finished inputting the name, press [F6
(WRITE)].
A screen will appear, allowing you to select the write-
destination Chord Form.
