The Fantom-G is waiting for you to begin sequencing. It won’t
actually begin capturing your playing until you press PLAY. At that
point, you’ll get four countoff beats and sequencing will start.
Press F8 (Start)—the Realtime Recording

window opens. A ding signifies the start
of the countoff. When four beats have

didn’t like what you played—
• press F8 (Cancel) to immediately
delete the phrase from the Fantom-G’s memory. (You can return

If you pressed F7 (OK), you can now see your new phrase on the Song
Play screen.
We’ve sequenced just four measures here—the dark gray
background behind the phrase shows the song’s current length.
The new track is automatically named for the sound you used when
you sequenced it.
The Fantom-G automatically takes you back to where your sequencing 7
started, so to hear your new phrase, press PLAY.
Playback automatically ends after the track’s sequenced data plays,

or you can press STOP whenever you want.
If you don’t like what you hear at all and want to remove the phrase

press F7 (OK.)
We didn’t want to distract you earlier, but when the Realtime
Recording window is open, you can rehearse without sequencing. Tools
in this window also allow you to erase sequenced notes and other
performance data in realtime, to turn loop recording on an off, and
more. We’ll get into this window in greater detail in the Sequencing
and Recording Workshop booklet.

screen, select Part 10, and repeat Step 12 to sequence your drums.
The Fantom-G offers lots of editing tools for refining your performance.
They’re discussed in the Perfecting Fantom-G Sequences and Recordings
Workshop booklet.
If you’d like to develop a song’s MIDI tracks even further in a computer-

SMF (for “Standard MIDI File”) your DAW will likely be able to load.
