Roland FANTOM-0 - Introduction to Rhythm Patterns

hello ed diaz, here in today's video we are going to learn about the

rhythm

patterns

that are available inside the

roland

phantom oh okay let's get started, inside the phantom there are

rhythm

patterns

so premade rhythms that you can use for presentation in alive and also in their sequencing, so let's go ahead and learn where they are and how to access them. Alright, I'm going to go ahead like I always do, press a single tone and I'm just going to delete a quick scene that I can go ahead and use so we can have it, so now let's go ahead and take a look at the rhythm patterns.

Just look at this button here and press it and it will take you to the rhythm patterns. if we take a look, we have a bunch of presets, press enter, if red is highlighted, press open and you can see everything that is available. I'm going to go ahead and use my knob to cycle through the 59 different rhythm patterns there are. available okay so we'll go ahead and start here on rock one press okay these are designed when you go ahead and press on the screen we could throw in the different intros or fillers versus or endings right here so let's go ahead and throw in a verse. now in pattern a, so we can listen to, maybe verse two and I can go ahead and stop it here.

Now there's a big thing. I can go ahead, start and stop by tapping the screen, but I can also stop the beats by pressing the stop button. button here so I can go ahead and play verse 2 and press stop there. Now notice that there is a key trigger so you can go ahead and continue, as soon as you hit the keys it will start playing the same thing. I can still hit the stop button, so that's good to know, so right now, if we have this particular preset group, this rhythm rock group and it goes well, maybe I don't want that particular kit, I can go in here and I can change it. that kit I can go ahead and increase and decrease.

I can use my dial here. I can also hit enter and see all the kits that are available to me and I could go ahead and say, you know what? I have some that are already classified. I want to go ahead and use it. I can go ahead and say, you know what, let's go ahead and use this kit on that particular b. I have it there if I want and I can audition other kits, so this is a great way for me. to kind of audition and see what kit works best with that beat, let's go ahead and take a look at some of the other preset rhythm groups here, so that was a little taste of the rock group, let's go ahead and take a look at one of the others let's just choose a pop group, of course we can go ahead and change the kit here once again.

I can choose any kit I want. You could say well, let's go ahead and use a studio kit that's cool or let's use a pop kit. that sounds good to me, please use the pop kick. I have it on verse 1 set to the key trigger so we can listen to it this way, maybe it goes to a fill here, it comes, notice it's going to stay there and then it stays. moment when I move on to the next kit there we go, let's go ahead and do another fill so it can be a really fun way to have fun with the different rhythm groups uh that are inside the ghost oh, let's go ahead and take a look. in another I'm going to go ahead and go to a pop group here once again I can turn the dial but I really like to press enter so I can see everything that's available to me and we're going to use the knob and let's go Down and look at some others, these could be really good for inspiration.

You can use them within a sequence. You can use them in a live performance, but they can really inspire you to create different beats and you can record. inside the sequencer, so this can be really good, especially if you're trying to create different variations within your song, so like I said, I can come here, let's take a look. I think I like fusions too. I always tend to do it. lean towards that one to help me move on, I'll leave it on the pop kit for now, but remember we can go in and we're probably going to go in and change it, so I'll have a reverse one, here we go, maybe I won't.

I don't like that kit. I can go ahead and press Enter. I can take a look at the different pages. I haven't chosen anything yet and we can see what we will have here. I'm like, oh, let's try this one, just touch the screen. not bad, let's try an 808. Remember we can also go ahead and press the tempo button and we can reduce the tempo if we need to close this, let's go ahead and take a look at another kit, let's try a hip-hop kit, TRUE? Here we go at the end, there we go, so this is just a quick look at the rhythm groups that are inside the Roland Phantom.

Remember that you can go ahead and run this with the key trigger, but you can also go ahead. and place them inside the different patterns inside the phantom oh sequencer and that way you can use them in different variations that way so check them out go ahead and explore them explore the rhythms that are there remember you can go in there and they can edit them using the piano row and also the microscope once they are recorded in a pattern, so keep that in mind, I hope this video helps you, take care and we will talk to you later.
