Roland Fantom - Is Z-Core powerful?

 

In this tutorial we are going to start our journey on how to program the Z-Core. This is just an introduction as there is lots to cover.

We start creating a user tone and then go straight into the OSC Parameters. We explain the Common parameters, the oscillator types and oscillator parameters. We introduce envelopes for pitch, filter and amplitude as well LFOs for modulation of pitch, filter and amplitude.

Key concept of this video is around the use of partials as a fundamental block of Z-Core and how all the parameters including unison impacts polyphony. The Fantom 0 has 256 voices mono or 128 stereo. If you are not careful in creation of tones you will run out of polyphony very quickly.
