Roland Fantom G6 Features Manual page 4

In general, the right-click gets you a list of related options for the item you've
clicked on. The best workflow for one Fantom-G operation may not be the
same as for another, so you'll find some exceptions to this as you operate the
Fantom-G. Here are some key exceptions:
•
To invoke the Patch List window by right-clicking a part in the Live Play
screen—select the desired part first with a standard click.
•
To edit a track parameter in the Song Play or Song Edit window—
3 or 4 button to highlight the parameter before right-clicking.
There are also a few cases—such as setting sample start, end, and loop
parameters on the Sample Edit screen—where a right-click does nothing at
all, since any list of values it opened would be unusably long.
The Mouse Scroll Wheel
The mouse scroll wheel's function is simple, as we said earlier: It scrolls
through a displayed list.
All Together Now
As you become comfortable with your mouse, consider using its three
elements together. For example, a right-ciick is always a fast way to get to a
list of values, and there's nothing more immediate than clicking on the one
you want it the list. On the other hand, the scroll wheel is helpful when you
want to look through a range of options.
QWERTY Searching and Naming
One of the things a mouse connected to your Fantom-G allows you to do is
to take advantage of the Fantom-G's pair of QWERTY features:
•
QWERTY searching— allows you to locate patches/rhythm sets/sample
sets, live sets, and studio sets by name.
•
QWERTY naming— allows you to quickly name things you create and
store in the Fantom-G's memory.
When a QWERTY feature is available for a task you're performing, you'll see
the Fantom-G's QWERTY icon onscreen.

Whether you're searching for something or naming something, the QWERTY
features work the same way. Here's how to use them:
Click the QWERTY icon to open the translucent QWERTY-keyboard

window.
Click the keys in the onscreen keyboard to enter the desired

characters—the characters you enter appear at the top of the
onscreen keyboard and in the screen's Search field below the
QWERTY icon.
As you can see here, when you enter characters, the list you're
searching is filtered to hide any items whose names don't contain the
string of characters you've entered so far.
