Troubleshooting
Specific pitch ranges do not sound
Has a restricted range of notes been set?
If a specific range of notes does not sound, check the Key
Range settings for the Patch Tone, the Performance/Multitimbre
Part, and the Zone.
• Tone Key Range
Key Range Lower/Upper parameter (PATCH/TMT) (Owner's
Manual; p. 58)
• Part Key Range
Key Range Lower/Upper parameter (PERFORMANCE,
MULTITIMBRE/Part) (Owner's Manual; p. 102, p. 117)
• Zone Key Range
Key Range Lower/Upper parameter (PERFORMANCE/Zone)
(Owner's Manual; p. 99)
I set the Key Range, but why is the range
smaller than that for the value I set?
Both Zones and Performance Parts have Key Range settings.
Of these, the Zone's (the keyboard section's) Key Range is
applied to MIDI OUT, and the Performance Part's (the sound
generator section's) Key Range is applied to MIDI IN. However,
when both Key Range are in effect within the Fantom, sounds are
not played where the two Key Ranges overlap. Furthermore, the
sound generator section's (that affecting MIDI IN) Key Range can be
set for each Tone in a Patch. When a Performance uses Patches with
Key Ranges set using this function, the Zone and Performance Part
Key Ranges, and all Patch Key Ranges are enabled, so the actual
range over which sounds are expressed may differ from the values
set in the Zones and Performance Parts.
The sound is distorted.
Check the following points.
• Is an effect which distorts the sound being applied?
If the sound for a specific patch or part is distorted, lower the
volume level on that part.
• If all sounds are distorted, use the VOLUME slider to lower the
volume level.

Pitch is incorrect.
Check the following points.
• Is the tuning of the Fantom incorrect?
Check the Master Tune parameter (SYSTEM/General) setting
(Owner's Manual; p. 179).
• Has the pitch been changed by pedal operations or by Pitch Bend
messages received from an external MIDI device?
In the case of Performance mode or Multitimbre mode, the value
of Pitch Bend messages (Pitch Bend) can be viewed in the Part
Information window (Owner's Manual; p. 90, p. 111).
• Have the Coarse Tune or Fine Tune parameters been set for
specific Parts?
Check the Coarse Tune parameter and Fine Tune parameter
(PERFORMANCE, MULTITIMBRE/Part) settings (Owner's
Manual; p. 100, p. 115).
The sound is interrupted.
Sounds will be interrupted if more than 64 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.
When I play the keyboard, notes do not stop.
Is the pedal polarity of the Hold Pedal reversed?
Check the Hold Pedal Polarity parameter (SYSTEM/
Controller) setting (Owner's Manual; p. 184).
The sound cuts off when I switch Patches in
Patch mode...
Although you can apply a wide variety of multi-effects with
the Fantom's multi-effects, switching the Patch also switches
the type of multi-effects used.
In such instances, discrepancies between the sound being produced
and the multi-effects type can arise, which may result in sounds
being different than intended, so sounds produced when Patches are
switched may be muted when factory settings are in effect. In certain
situations, such as when not using multi-effects that have a great
influence on the sound, or when switching pairs of Patches set with
the same type of multi-effects, remembering to set Patch Remain
parameter (SYSTEM/General) to "ON" allows you to switch Patches
without sounds being muted.
