Playing Back a Song
This chapter explains how you can use the Fantom-S’s sequencer to
play back a song.
When you play back a song, we recommend that you use the
sound generator in
Performance mode
(p. 76). 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.
Playing a Song Immediately
(Quick Play)
The Fantom-S is able to play a song from user memory and memory
card immediately, without first loading the song into internal
memory. This is called the
Quick Play
function.
Quick Play can be used with MRC Pro songs (extension:.SVQ) and
Standard MIDI Files (extension:.MID).
1.
Press [SEQUNCER].
The Song Play screen appears.
2.

Press [PLAY] to start playback.
When the song finishes playing, it will stop automatically. If you
want to stop playback midway through the song, press [STOP].
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. 170).
Playing Back Songs

The
Chain Play

songs on user memory and memory card in the order you specify.
