System Settings (Settings Common to All Modes)

Sound

Local Switch
The Local Switch determines whether the internal sound generator is
disconnected (OFF) from the controller section (keyboard, pad, pitch
bend/modulation lever, knobs, buttons, D Beam controller, pedal,
and so on); or not disconnected (ON). Normally this is left "ON," but
if you wish to use the Fantom-G's keyboard and controllers to
control only external sound modules, set it to "OFF."
Value: OFF, ON
Using the Local Switch
If you're using external sequencer software in conjunction with
the Fantom-G's keyboard/controllers and sound generator, you
should turn the Local switch OFF for the reasons explained
below.
Connecting the Fantom-G to an external
sequencer
fig.25-003b_50
Fantom-G
Keyboard
Typically, things are hooked up so the data travels as follows:
the Fantom-G's keyboard → your external sequencer software
→ the Fantom-G's sound generator. Normally, the Fantom-G's
keyboard section is internally connected to its sound generator
section; this internal connection is controlled by the Local
Switch. If you turn the Local Switch off, the Fantom-G's
keyboard and sound generator sections will be independent,
allowing you to use the connection described above with your
external sequencer software.
Master Tune
Adjusts the overall tuning of the Fantom-G. The display shows the
frequency of the A4 note (center A).
Value: 415.3–466.2 Hz
