Using the Chord Memory Function (Chord Memory)
Chord Memory is a function that allows you to play chords based on
pre-programmed Chord Forms , just by pressing a single key on the
keyboard. The Fantom-X can store 64 preset chord forms and 64 user
chord forms. If you wish, you can overwrite any of the 64 user
(factory set) chord forms.
The chord memory function operates on the arpeggio part in
Performance mode. If a rhythm set is selected for that part, you can
also use this to play rhythms.
