A New Discovery?!!!

25 Dec 2004, 23:10
Hey,

I'm not a manual guy. I've not even touched my FX manual since I bought it, so don't laugh at me if I'm saying something stupid!! ;-)

I thought the only thing that dynamic pads can do other than trigerring samples and drum patterns is muting performance parts.

But today I found out that you can use dynamic pads to dial numbers for any parameter, except for dialing patch or performance numbers.

Just hit the "enter" button on each parameter that you want to dial, and then dial the number with the dynamic pads!

Are you laughing at me right now, or saying "oh, cool! I haven't noticed that!" ??

Check the guide if you wanna know.

Anyway, I'm almost sure I've seen an answer about this saying it is possible.

sam...

yes the pads can be used for several different functions..

in addition to what you have said, you can use pads to select tracks also, if you have the cursor on track number, hit enter and then just hit any pad to select the corresponding track. it's cool and I use this to select upto 16 patches with one touch instantly.

you can also program the pads to take you to any screen you want, by storing the shortcut with pads.

you can also use the pads to enter notes at different velocities in step record and arpegiator record mode.

the list goes on....



--------------------
Remember that there are only 3 MFX + 1 Reverb + 1 Chorus in Fantom-S/X and you have to share them across 16 parts (patches) in a song.
