Select a patch you’d like to play.1
2 Play anything you like on the keyboard, for about 10 seconds.
Press the blue SKIP BACK SAMPLING button. The
3
Fantom-G goes back in time and creates a new
sample from the last 10 seconds of your playing.
Skip Back Sampling can be pre-set to grab anywhere from the last 5 to
40 seconds of music. (10 seconds is the default setting.)
As with audio track recording, the amount of audio you can capture
with Skip Back Sampling depends on the amount of sample memory you
currently have available in your Fantom-G.
When the Fantom-G has captured your sample, it displays the Skip 4
Back Preview screen, where you can see the newly captured sample.
Press and hold down F7 (Preview) to hear your new sample.5
You can trim your Skip Back sample so that it’s got only the passage you
want to keep, using the same editing tools you’d use for any other Fantom-G
sample. We’ll explain how to edit and work with samples in the Fantom-G
Sampling Workshop booklet.
Skip Back sampling captures not only the sound produced by keyboard,
but your rhythms, arpeggios, live audio being sent through the
Fantom-G, and any other sound the G produces.
To avoid losing a sample when you turn off the Fantom-X, you must
save it. To learn how to save a sample, see the Saving Your Work on
the Fantom-G Workshop booklet.
