Recording Songs
This chapter explains the procedure for using the Fantom-Xa’s
sequencer to record a song.
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 Performance
mode. 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-Xa, 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. 68) 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.

step recording
. Select the method that is appropriate for your
situation.

playing and controller operations are recorded just as you perform

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.
