Disk-Related Functions (Disk Utility)

Disk mode performs disk-related functions such as loading data from disk into the Fantom’s memory (Load), and saving a song or sound generator settings to disk (Save). You can also format a disk or create a backup disk in this mode.

Before You Perform Disk Utility Operations

In order to perform disk utility operations, you will need a 3.5 inch 2DD or 2HD type disk.

Before using a new disk or one that has been used on another device, please initialize (format) it on the Fantom. A 3.5” 2DD disk should be formatted to 720 K bytes and 3.5” 2HD disk to 1440 K bytes. These are standard formats used with most song data software and computers/instruments. If you save a song created on the Fantom as a Standard MIDI File, you can use many devices to play your song.
