Sampling
When you recorded your audio track, you scratched the surface of the
Fantom-G’s sampling capabilities. The Fantom-G is actually a full-featured
sampler that lets you use sampled beat loops or any other sound in your
music. Here are some of the things you can do with the Fantom-G sampler:
You can sample any audio—
• you send into the Fantom-G from mics,
instruments, or line-level playback devices.
You can impor t samples—
• in .WAV or AIFF format via USB from your
computer.
You can sync samples—
• to a song’s tempo, locking them together in
time, even when the song’s tempo changes.
You can “resample” the sound of the Fantom-G itself—
• to create unique
new samples for use in your songs or to play onstage from the keys,
pads, or D Beam.
When you mix a Fantom-G song down to stereo, you sample the entire

•

mix—to create a stereo audio file you can transfer via USB to your
computer, where you can convert it to an MP3 or AAC file, or burn it
onto an audio CD.
The Fantom-G also provides a rich collection of sample-editing tools that
make working with samples easy and fun. You can learn about Fantom-G
sampling in the Sampling Workshop booklet.
Skip Back Sampling
The Fantom-G—like the Fantom-X before it—also offers a unique type of
sampling called “Skip Back Sampling” that can save your musical life.
The Fantom-G’s sampler is always listening to what you’re doing on the
Fantom-G, and it’s quietly sampling it, too, in the background.
This means that you never need lose a sudden flash of musical brilliance
again. When you’ve just played something unexpected and great, Skip Back
Sampling can catch it for you from thin air. Let’s demonstrate how it works.
