[. . . ] WARNING: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN ATTENTION: RISQUE DE CHOC ELECTRIQUE NE PAS OUVRIR CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS WARNING - When using electric products, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following: 1. Do not block any of the ventilation openings. [. . . ] The time over which the LFO amplitude will reach the minimum after the Delay Time has elapsed. Fantom VS Step 1­16 (LFO Step 1­16) Specifies the data for the Step LFO. If the LFO Pitch Depth is +63, each +1 unit of the step data corresponds to a pitch of +50 cents. Value: -36­ +36 Fade Time: Appendix 119 Creating a Patch Apply the LFO gradually after the key is released fig. 06-045. e Controller-related settings (CTRL) Patch Ctrl high (more) Delay Time Fade Time Depth Pitch Cutoff Frequency Level Pan low (less) Note on Note off Tone Env Mode (Tone Envelope Mode) When a loop waveform is selected, the sound will normally continue as long as the key is pressed. If you want the sound to decay naturally even if the key remains pressed, set this to "NO SUS. " Value: NO SUS, SUST Fade Mode: Delay Time: Fade Time: OFF-IN The time from when the keyboard is released until the LFO begins to be applied. The time over which the LFO amplitude will reach the maximum after the Delay Time has elapsed. If a one-shot type Wave is selected, it will not sustain even if this parameter is set to "SUST. " Apply the LFO from when the key is pressed until it is released, and gradually begin to decrease the effect when the key is released fig. 06-046. e Tone Rx Bender (Tone Receive Pitch Bend Switch) For each tone, specify whether MIDI Pitch Bend messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF). Value: OFF, ON high (more) Delay Time Fade Time Depth Pitch Cutoff Frequency Level Pan low (less) Note on Note off Tone Rx Expression (Tone Receive Expression Switch) For each tone, specify whether MIDI Expression messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF). Value: OFF, ON Fade Mode: Delay Time: Fade Time: OFF-OUT The time that the LFO will continue after the keyboard is released. The time over which the LFO amplitude will reach the minimum after the Delay Time has elapsed. Tone Rx Hold-1 (Tone Receive Hold Switch) For each tone, specify whether MIDI Hold-1 messages will be received (ON), or not (OFF). Value: OFF, ON If "NO SUS" is selected for Env Mode parameter, this setting will have no effect. 120 Creating a Patch Tone Rx Pan Mode (Tone Receive Pan Mode) For each tone, specify how pan messages will be received. Value CONT: K-ON: Whenever Pan messages are received, the stereo position of the tone will be changed. The pan of the tone will be changed only when the next note is played. If a pan message is received while a note is sounding, the panning will not change until the next key is pressed. Matrix Control Settings (Matrix Ctrl1­4) Overview 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 VS. 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 VS'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). Connections The channels cannot be set so as not to receive Pan messages. Tone Redamper Sw (Tone Redamper Switch) You can specify, on an individual tone basis, whether or not the sound will be held when a Hold 1 message is received after a key is released, but before the sound has decayed to silence. If you want to sustain the sound, set this "ON. " When using this function, also set the Rx Hold-1 parameter "ON. " This function is effective for piano sounds. Value: OFF, ON VS-700C Console VS-700R I/O Fantom VS Appendix 121 Creating a Patch Patch Mtrx Control 1­4 Source (Patch Matrix Control 1­4) Control 1­4 Source (Matrix Control Source 1­4) Sets the MIDI message used to change the tone parameter with the Matrix Control. Value OFF: CC01­31, 33­95: PITCH BEND: AFTERTOUCH: Matrix control will not be used.
