Saving Samples (Save All Samples)

Even if you save your song using “Save,” it cannot be played
back by a sequencer other than the Fantom-X’s own sequencer.
If you want to play back your song on a sequencer other than
the Fantom-X’s sequencer, you must save the song as an SMF
file. Also at this time, you must record the appropriate bank
selects and program numbers so that the correct sounds will be
played.
The performance settings will be saved in the state they were in
when you executed Save. This means that if the performance
changed during the song, and you saved the song in that state
when you finished recording, the state in which recording
began will not be saved. In other words when you play back the
song from the beginning, it will begin with the performance
sounds that were being used at the point where you saved. If
you change the performance during the song, you must use the
Microscope screen etc. to insert the appropriate bank select and
program number at the beginning of the song to specify the
performance with which you began recording it (p. 192).

Saving a Song as an SMF

File (Save as SMF)

When you save data in SMF format, the sound setup data will
not be saved. In order to ensure that the correct sounds are
played, you must record the appropriate bank select and
program numbers (p. 192).
