Sounds will be interrupted if more than 128 voices are used
simultaneously.
• Reduce the number of Tones that you are using.
• Increase the Voice Reserve setting for parts that must not drop
out. (p. 141)
When I play the keyboard, notes do not stop.
Is the pedal polarity of the Hold Pedal reversed?
Check the Hold Pedal Polarity parameter setting (p. 291).
When I press a pad, the sound does not stop sounding.
Could the [HOLD] pad be lit?
Press the [HOLD] pad once again so the light goes out.
The sound is interrupted when I switch studio sets in Studio
mode.
The Fantom-G can use multi-effects to apply a wide variety of
effects, and when you switch studio sets, the multi-effect type
specified by the patch will also change. In Studio mode, the
sound may be interrupted when this occurs. If you want to
switch sounds without interruption while you perform, please
use Live mode or Single mode.
The sound is interrupted when I switch patches in Single mode
or Live mode.
If you turn the Patch Remain parameter (p. 298) "ON," you'll be
able to switch patches without interrupting the sound.
However, this function applies only to the most recently
selected sound; notes of a sound selected prior to that will be
interrupted.
When switching Patches in Single mode, the volume and other
parameters set with Control Changes end up being reset.
Set Control Remain parameter (p. 298) to "ON." Even once they
have switched Patches, Control Change messages that have
been received are carried forward, so even when switching a
Patch whose level is turned all the way down by a Control
Change volume message, the level remains unchanged.
If the Tone Delay time value is set to the note, then does the
delay time not change beyond a fixed length when the tempo is
slowed down?
There is a maximum permissible value for the Delay Time
parameter (p. 103). So, if the time setting is specified in terms of
a note value, and the tempo is slowed down, this maximum
permissible value will be reached, and it cannot be increased
further. The upper time limit for each is the maximum value
that can be set other than the numerical value for the beat.
Even when I set the Pan for a Patch completely to one side,
sound still comes from the other channel...
The Fantom-G's internal effects are in stereo, so if you have
effects applied to a Patch, even if the Pan is set all the way to
one side, you will still be able to hear sounds of the effect
component from the other channel.
Sometimes, when playing legato, the pitch won't rise. Why is
this?
When the Legato Switch parameter (p. 105) is "ON," and the
Legato Retrigger parameter (p. 105) is "OFF," and you hold
down keys in the high register to play legato, the upper pitch
limit of the wave may be exceeded, so that the pitch does not
rise as far as you expect, but will stop rising at a certain point.
Additionally, if differing upper pitch limits are used for the
waves of a Patch that uses multiple tones, it may stop being
heard in MONO. When making large pitch changes, set the
Legato Retrigger parameter to "ON."
The notes sound strange in the upper registers of the keyboard.
Sometimes when playing the keys in the upper part of the
Fantom-G's keyboard, the sound may stop, or the pitch may
stop rising; or with certain keys, there may be intermittent
noise. This occurs mainly when the Fantom-G's upper pitch
limit is exceeded, so this issue doesn't arise in the ranges
normally used. But, in any case, it does not indicate a
malfunction.
The same patch sounds different depending on the sound
generator mode.
In Live/Studio mode, the parameters of each part of the Live/
Studio Set can apply further modification to parameters such as
pan, octave, and filter, relative to the settings specified by the
patch. Thus, Patches in a Live/Studio Set may sound different
than they do when heard in Single mode. To return these
settings to their initial conditions, select the Patch after execute
Factory Reset Temporary for the Live/Studio Set. (p. 284)
The volume level of the instrument connected to Fantom-G is
too low.
Check the following points.
• Could you be using a connection cable that contains a resistor?
Use a connection cable that does not contain a resistor.
• Check the "Input Setting" (p. 258).
