The Fantom-G Recording Studio
The Fantom-G features its own recording studio with up to 152 tracks,
including 24 audio tracks. Let’s star t exploring it by listening to the factory
demo songs.
Playing the Factory Demo Songs
Press the SONG button in the LIST/EDIT area to display 1
the Song Play screen.
This screen shows your song’s tracks, and it’s where a session starts.
You’re seeing the tracks of the demo song we’re about to listen to.
However, since we’ve been doing other things since powering up,
we’ll reload the song to make sure it plays correctly. (The demo songs
contain special data they send to the Fantom-G as they load, or at
power-up. Your own songs won’t require reloading to play correctly.)
The Fantom-G plays one song at a time, though it can hold up to 50
songs in a project—we’ll explain projects in the Saving Your Work on
the Fantom-G Workshop booklet.
Press F1 (Song List) to display this project’s songs.
