Auditioning the Currently Selected Phrase
To listen to the currently selected phrase, click F7 (Preview).
In order for the phrase to play its intended sounds, you’ll need to first
make sure the studio set it uses is selected.
F8 (Edit Phrase)
Clicking this button takes you inside the currently selected phrase for
editing. We’ll explain what you can do inside phrases in the next section.
Working Inside Phrases
When you want to edit the contents of a phrase, you’ve got to first select it.
There are three ways to do this. You can:
select the phrase on a track—
• while you’re on the Song Edit screen.
select the phrase from the phrase list—
• on the Phrase List screen.
select it from the Phrase Edit screen—
• as we’ll describe below.
To get to the phrase-editing tools, go to the:
Phrase List window—
• and click F8 (Edit Phrase).
Song Edit screen—
• and click F4 (Edit Phrase).
Either way, you’ll be taken to the Phrase Edit screen.
The Phrase Edit Screen
The main area of the Phrase Edit screen shows you an overview of the
currently selected phrase’s note data. In the upper-right is a set of clickable
transport buttons you may find handy if you’re using a mouse.

PLAYREWIND FAST-FORWARD
You can play the current phrase using the Fantom-G’s standard physical
transport buttons, too, if you like, or if you’re not using a mouse. And you
can listen to the phrase by clicking F7 (Preview). Your playback location
within the phrase is shown in a counter at the middle-top of the Phrase Edit
screen.
If you haven’t yet selected the phrase you want to edit, you can do that
here by dialing it in as the value of the Phrase Number/Name parameter in
the upper left-hand corner of the screen. (Of course you’ll need to know its
name or number.)
At the bottom of the Phrase Edit screen you’ll find the Fantom-G’s tools for
editing phrases. Here’s what they do and how they work.
F1 (Clear)
If you’d like to empty-out the current phrase of data without deleting the
phrase itself—such as when you’re already using it on a track—click F1
(Clear), and then F7 (OK) to confirm your intentions before proceeding.
F2 (Save)
To quickly save the selected phrase into the current project, click F2 (Save).
This is something you’ll want to do as you refine a phrase with your editing,
since it captures your latest improvements.
