Viewing sequencer data (View)

Since a phrase track or pattern contains a large amount of sequencer data, the display may be cluttered and difficult to read. For this reason, the Fantom lets you specify the type(s) of sequencer data that will be displayed in the screen. This is convenient when you want to check or edit only a specific type of sequencer data.

1.Access the Microscope window.

2.Press [7 (View)].

The View Select window appears.

3.Move the cursor to “Channel,” and select the MIDI channel of the sequencer data that you want to view.

If you want to view sequencer data of all MIDI channels, select “ALL.” If you want to view only sequencer data of a specific MIDI channel, select “1”–”16.”

4.Use or to select the sequencer data that will be displayed.

Editing the Sequencer Data
