An Overview of FANTOM
About Memory
“Memory” refers to locations where scenes, tones, and other settings are stored.
Memory can be categorized according to its function into three types: the temporary area, rewritable memory (user memory, system
memory, internal storage, and USB flash drive), and non-rewritable memory (preset memory).
Temporary memory
The temporary area
This temporarily stores the data for the
scene, tones, and sequence data that you
selected using the panel buttons.
When you perform, the sounds are
produced according to the settings of the
temporary area. When you edit scenes,
tones, or sequence data, your changes affect
the data that has been recalled into the
temporary area; they do not directly modify
the data of that memory.
Settings in temporary memory are not
permanent; they will be lost when you turn
off the power or recall other settings.
If you want to keep the settings that are in
temporary memory, you must save them to
user memory or a USB flash drive.
Rewritable memory
System memory
This area stores system settings for the
entire FANTOM. To save system parameters,
execute the system save operation (p. 112).
User memory
This memory stores data that is saved in
the FANTOM. To store data, execute the
appropriate Save operation.

5 Saving a tone. (p. 48)
5 Saving a rhythm pattern group. (p. 34)
5 Creating a chain set. (p. 61)
Sample memory
This memory stores samples in the FANTOM.
Samples are saved automatically when you
stop sampling or when you exit the WAVE
EDIT screen.
Internal storage
This is storage memory inside the FANTOM.
You can use the file utility functions to copy,
delete, or move saved files between this
storage and a USB flash drive.
USB flash drive
5 The user memory data and the system
parameter settings can be backed up
together to a USB flash drive (p. 108).
5 SMF or WAV files can be imported into the
FANTOM or exported from the FANTOM.
Non-rewritable memory
Preset memory
Data in preset memory cannot be rewritten.
However, you can call this data into the
temporary area, modify the settings, and
then save those modified settings in user
memory.
