Enhancements to Sampling Functions
In addition to the existing Sample Pad feature that allows you to use the pads to play the samples you’ve recorded, FANTOM version 2.00 lets you bring in sampled sounds as waves that you can use in creating tones, and then play those sounds in different pitches across the keyboard, or assign multiple waves to the keyboard (using the multisample function).
User Sample
Data that you sample on the FANTOM or import as audio files is called “user samples.” There are two kinds of user samples: “Pad” samples and “Kbd” (keyboard) samples.
Pad samples
Pad samples are effective for playing long phrases, adding sound effects and so on. Kbd Sample Kbd samples are effective for playing samples back in different pitches using the keyboard. Samples are treated as tone oscillators.
Multisample
Multisamples combine multiple waves, treating them as one sound.
SAMPLING MENU
SAMPLING <To Pad>
This lets you sample and play back sounds using the pads, including the sounds you make when playing this unit or sounds from external devices.
SAMPLING <To Keyboard>
This lets you sample and play back sounds using the keyboard, including the sounds you make when playing this unit or sounds from external devices.
SAMPLING <To Storage>
This only saves samples without assigning them to the pads or keyboard.
IMPORT <To Pad>
Imports an audio file for you to play using the pads.
IMPORT <To Keyboard>
Imports an audio file for you to play using the keyboard.
IMPORT <To Multisample>
Creates a multisample using multiple audio files.
E1] WAVE/EXP MEMORY INFO
Use this to check the status of data used by the Kbd samples or Expansion (such as the EXZ series). You can also use this to optimize Kbd sample data that needs to be consolidated.

Importing Multiple Audio Files (To Multisample)
“IMPORT To Multisample” combines the steps used to create a “multisample.” This includes simultaneous importing of multiple audio files, assigning the audio files to the desired notes on the keyboard, and playing different waves for each note.
1. To begin, put the audio files you want to import into the folder you choose on a USB flash drive. MEMO NOTE It’s useful to first know the pitch of the sample that you are importing. 5 Use a USB flash drive that you’ve already formatted on the FANTOM. 5 This operation might take some time, depending on the size of the file to import.
2. Press the [SAMPLING] button. The SAMPLING MENU screen appears.
3. Touch IMPORT <To Multisample>.
The IMPORT SAMPLE TO MULTISAMPLE (SELECT SOURCE) screen appears.
Menu
[E2] PREVIEW [ Level

4. Touch the filename of the file you imported to select it. You can select multiple files at once by touching the filenames while holding down the [SHIFT] button, or by turning the VALUE dial while holding down the [SHIFT] button. When you select multiple files, the first file is previewed. MEMO You can select the INTERNAL STORAGE tab and import the audio files in the LIBRARY folder.
5. Select [E6] IMPORT.
6. Edit the desired parameters.

7. Select [E6] EXECUTE. A confirmation message appears. If you decide to cancel, choose [E6] CANCEL.
8. Select [E5] OK. The IMPORT operation is executed. When the import finishes, the IMPORTED SAMPLE LIST screen is shown.
9. Edit the parameters as needed. MEMO 5 If you set the “Original Key” here for each sample, the samples are automatically assigned to the keys on the keyboard you set in the MULTISAMPLE EDIT screen. For this reason, we recommend that you set the approximate “Original Key” here on this screen. 5 Play a key on the keyboard while pressing [SHIFT] to set the original key. 5 You’ll hear the currently selected tone when you play the keyboard. This is useful for checking the original key, along with the preview function.
10. Select [E6] NEXT. The IMPORT SAMPLE TO MULTISAMPLE(SETTING) screen appears. Information of file to import The MULTISAMPLE EDIT screen appears.
And the manual goes on and on with submenús here.
11. Edit the parameters as needed. 12. When you are finished making settings, press the [EXIT] button. The screen returns to MULTISAMPLE VIEW. NOTE Any multisample that you have not saved is erased when the power is turned off. Use the WRITE operation to save your multisamples.

Creating a Tone with Multiple Multisamples (MULTISAMPLE VIEW)
You can combine more than one multisample that you created to make a single tone. For example, you can create a tone using up to four multisamples, which captures the character of softly or strongly played notes on an instrument. Assign each multisample to a different partial, and then specify a different velocity range for each partial so that the keyboard velocity determines which multisample is heard. This gives you a high-quality sound that responds naturally to your playing. 1. Press the [SAMPLING] button. The SAMPLING MENU screen appears. 2. Touch [E6] MULTI SMPL. 8 The MULTISAMPLE VIEW screen appears.

MEMO
You can also access this screen from Tone Edit0UTILITY0MULTISAMPLE EDIT for the Z-Core tone.
You can also assign multisamples to partials 2–4. On the FANTOM, you can assign multisample waveforms to all four partials.
