Playing Back a Song

This chapter explains how you can use the Fantom-X’s sequencer to
play back a song.

When you play back a song, we recommend that you use the
sound generator in

Performance mode

. In Performance mode,
up to sixteen different sounds can be played separately by the
sixteen parts, making this mode ideal for playing songs that are
multi-instrument ensembles of drums, bass, piano, etc.
The Fantom-X is able to play a song from user memory and memory
card immediately, without first loading the song into Temporary
Area. This is called the

Quick Play

function.
Quick Play can be used with MRC Pro songs (extension:.SVQ) and
Standard MIDI Files (extension:.MID).

Press [SONG EDIT].

If you have interrupted song playback, “+” may be displayed at
the right of the measure number. This indicates that the song is
stopped in mid measure.

There will be no sound if samples have not been loaded for the
patches used in the song. You must load the necessary samples
beforehand (p. 202).
The

Chain Play

Play) songs on user memory and memory card.
