Loading a File from Disk into the Fantom (Load)

This function loads a song on disk into the internal memory. As the Fantom loads MRC Pro songs as well as Standard MIDI Files and S- MRC format songs, it copes efficiently with different song data. And with MRC Pro songs, a Phrase track or Pattern can be specified for loading. A complete song can therefore be created by combining different MRC Pro song data.

Besides songs, you can also load data files or chain files into internal memory.

When a file is loaded, internal memory will be rewritten. If internal memory contains important data, you must save it to disk before you load other data.

1.Access the Disk Utility screen (p. 187).

2.Press or to select the file that you want to load.

3.Press [1 (Load)].

The Load **** File window appears.

The title of the window will depend on the file being loaded.

4.Press [8 (Execute)] to execute the operation.

Loading Individual Tracks/Patterns of Song Data

If you have selected a song file (extension “.SVQ”) or Standard MIDI File (extension “.MID”), you can load individual phrase tracks or patterns.

1.After step 3 of “Loading a File from Disk into the Fantom (Load),” press [6 (Track)].

The Load Song File (Track) window appears.

2.Move the cursor to the left of “ ” (load source), and select the track (TRK 1–16) or pattern (PTN001–100) that you want to load.

If you are loading from a Standard MIDI File, it is not possible to select patterns (PTN001–100). Also, if you are loading from a Format 0 Standard MIDI File, this will be fixed at “TRK ALL,” and individual tracks cannot be selected.
