Playing Arpeggios
The Fantom-X’s Arpeggio function lets you produce arpeggios
automatically; simply hold down some keys, and a corresponding
arpeggio will be played automatically.
Not only can you use the factory-set
Arpeggio Styles
, which
determine the way the arpeggio is played, but you can also freely
rewrite Styles and enjoy performing your own original arpeggios.
An Arpeggio Style is not part of any Performance, but rather
independent data; you can store up to 128 Arpeggio Styles.
Therefore you can use a single Arpeggio Style in different Patches
and Performances. Arpeggio settings can be saved independently for
each performance. However, they cannot be saved as part of a patch.
What’s more, you can perform in ensemble using these arpeggios
and rhythm patterns (p. 135).
* You cannot play the arpeggio from the pads.
1.
Press [ARPEGGIO] to turn it on.
The button will light.

The Fantom-X will play an arpeggio, according to the notes
forming the chord you have just voiced.
3.
To finish playing arpeggios, press [ARPEGGIO] again to
turn it off.
In arpeggio settings, the
Style (Arpeggio Style)
(p. 129) is
particularly important. The playback pattern of the arpeggio is
determined mainly by this selection.
For details regarding each parameter, refer to
“Arpeggio
Settings”
(p. 129).
This sets the arpeggio tempo. You can save the arpeggio tempo
settings individually in each Patch, Rhythm Set, or Performance.

Press [TEMPO].
The current tempo value appears in the display.

will continue to be played even if you release the chord.

Turning Arpeggio On and Off
Using in Combination with the Chord
Memory Function
When performing with the Arpeggio, you can also use it along
with the Chord Memory function (p. 133). After first storing
complex Chord Forms in memory, you can then call them up
when Arpeggio function is on, and you can easily play complex
arpeggio sounds just by pressing a single key.
Determining the Tempo for
Arpeggio Performances
Holding an Arpeggio
Using a controller to adjust the playback tempo
Since tempo control is assigned to one of the Fantom-X’s
realtime control knobs, it’s easy to adjust the tempo while
playing arpeggios.
