Matrix Control Settings (Matrix Ctrl)

For details on the setting, refer to "How to Make the Patch
Settings" (p. 42).
Matrix Control
Ordinarily, if you wanted to change tone parameters using an
external MIDI device, you would need to send System
Exclusive messages—MIDI messages designed exclusively for
the Fantom. However, System Exclusive messages tend to be
complicated, and the amount of data that needs to be
transmitted can get quite large.
For that reason, a number of the more typical of the Fantom's
tone parameters have been designed so they accept the use of
Control Change (or other) MIDI messages for the purpose of
making changes in their values. This provides you with a
variety of means of changing the way patches are played. For
example, you can use the Pitch Bend lever to change the LFO
cycle rate, or use the keyboard's touch to open and close a filter.
The function which allows you use MIDI messages to make
these changes in realtime to the tone parameters is called the
Matrix Control. Up to four Matrix Controls can be used in a
single patch.
To use the Matrix Control, specify which MIDI message (Source
parameter) will be used to control which parameter
(Destination parameter), and how greatly (Sns parameter), and
the tone to which the effect is applied (Tone parameter).
54
Source 1–4 (Matrix Control Source 1–4)
Sets the MIDI message used to change the tone parameter with the
Matrix Control.
Value
OFF: Matrix control will not be used.
CC01–31, 33–95: Controller numbers 1–31, 33–95
For more information about Control Change messages, please
refer to "MIDI Implementation" (Sound/Parameter List).
PITCH BEND: Pitch Bend
AFTERTOUCH: Aftertouch
SYS CTRL1–SYS CTRL4: MIDI messages used as common matrix
controls.
VELOCITY: Velocity (pressure you press a key with)
KEYFOLLOW: Key follow (keyboard position with C4 as 0)
TEMPO: The specified tempo (patch tempo/sequencer tempo) or the
tempo of an external MIDI sequencer.
LFO1: LFO 1 cycle rate
LFO2: LFO 2 cycle rate
PITCH ENV: Pitch envelope
TVF ENV: TVF envelope
TVA ENV: TVA envelope
Velocity and Key follow correspond to Note messages.
• You can use the tempo as a Matrix Control. This lets you change
the tone settings in realtime according to changes in the Tempo.
When synchronizing to the patch tempo, set the Clock Source
parameter (PATCH/General) to "PATCH," and specify the
patch tempo with the Tempo parameter (PATCH/General).
To synchronize to the sequencer tempo, set the Clock Source
parameter (PATCH/General) to "SEQUENCER," set the Sync
Mode parameter (SYSTEM/Sequencer) to "MASTER," and
specify the sequencer tempo with "
the PLAY screen.
When synchronizing to the tempo of the connected MIDI
sequencer, set the Clock Source parameter (PATCH/General) to
"SEQUENCER," and set the Sync Mode parameter (SYSTEM/
Sequencer) to "SLAVE MIDI."
• Although there are no MIDI messages for LFO 1 through TVA
Envelope, they can be used as Matrix Control. In this case, you
can change the tone settings in realtime by playing patches.
• If you want to use common controllers for the entire Fantom,
select "SYS CTRL1"–"SYS CTRL4." MIDI messages used as
System Control 1–4 are set with the Sys Ctrl 1–4 Source
parameters (SYSTEM/Control) (p. 184).
