Roland Fantom-X8 Manual Do Utilizador

 

This chapter explains the procedure for using the Fantom-X’s 
sequencer to record a song.

 

Before you begin this procedure, put the sound generator in 
Performance mode. Normally, when recording or playing back 
a song, you will put the sound generator in 

 

 The reason for this is that in this mode, only the sound of 

the specified MIDI channel will be heard when you record 
while playing the keyboard of the Fantom-X, and that when the 
song is played back, the parts can independently play up to 16 
different sounds. Thus, Performance mode is suitable for 
recording and playing back a song that uses an ensemble of 
multiple instruments, such as drums, bass, and piano.
In Performance mode, we recommend that you leave the 
keyboard switches (p. 101) turned off (unchecked). If any 
keyboard switches are on (checked), parts other than the current 
part will also sound when you play the keyboard; you probably 
don't want this to occur while you're creating a song.

You can use one of two methods of recording: 

 

 or 

 

 Select the method that is appropriate for your 

situation.

 

Realtime recording is the recording method in which your keyboard 
playing and controller operations are recorded just as you perform 
them.

 

Step recording is the recording method in which you can input notes 
and rests one by one. This method is suitable for inputting drums or 
bass with precise timing. In addition to using notes, you can also 
create a song by putting patterns together.

 

The work flow for recording a new song is as follows.

Use realtime recording (p. 170) or step recording (p. 174) to 
record

 

Before you record a song, select the sound that you want to use for 
recording. Select the recording method that is appropriate for your 
situation.

 

Select a Performance when you want to record an ensemble 
performance using multiple instruments. When recording a song, we 
recommend that you normally select a Performance.

 

Select a patch or rhythm set if you want to use a single patch or 
rhythm set to record your playing.

When you record a song, the sequencer data is temporarily recorded 
in Temporary Area. If you want to record a new song, you must 
erase any existing sequencer data from Temporary Song.

 

If Temporary Song contains an important song that you want to 
keep, you should first save that song to user memory/memory 
card (p. 198).

 

The Song Clear window appears.

 

When the operation has been completed, the display will briefly 
indicate “Completed!”

To cancel, press [F7 (Cancel)].

With the factory settings, demo song data will automatically be 
loaded into Temporary Area when the Fantom-X is powered 
up. Here’s how to change this setting so that this automatic load 
does not occur (i.e., the song memory will remain empty).
