Clearing a Song
To wipe all of the data from a song, select Song Clear from the Song Utility
menu—when the Fantom-G asks if you’re sure, click F7 (OK), or if you change
your mind, F8 (Cancel).
When you use Song Clear, the last-saved version of the song remains in
the project’s song list, from where it can be reloaded. To completely
remove the song from the project, click F1 (Song List) on the Song Play
or Edit screen, select the song, click F4 (Delete Song), and then F7
(OK). This permanently erases the song from the project.
Wiping a Track
You can return a track to its original state—with no objects on it and with its
default name—using the Song utility menu’s Track Clear tool.
When you clear a track, you’re editing the track’s list of objects, not
the objects themselves, as we noted on Page 6 of the Sequencing
and Recording Workshop booklet. The phrases or samples the track
contains remain available in their respective lists.
To use Track Clear:
On the Song Play or Edit screen, select the track you want to wipe.

Choose Track Clear from the Song Utility menu.2
When the Fantom-G asks if you’re sure, click F7 (OK), or to abort the 3
operation, F8 (Cancel).
Renaming a Track
By default, MIDI tracks are named for the sound they use when they’re first
sequenced; audio tracks are named for their first sample. You’ll find working
on a song easier if you assign more meaningful names to your tracks. To
name a track:
On the Song Play or Edit screen, select the track you want to
1
rename.
Choose Track Name from the
2
Song Utility menu—the Fantom-G
presents a naming window.
Name the track as desired by:
3
using QWERTY naming—• as
described on Page 4 of the
Power User Control Workshop
booklet.
using the Fantom-G’s front panel controls—
• to move the underline
cursor beneath each character in the displayed default project
name, and turning the Value dial to select each desired character.
You can use F5 (Delete) to erase the current character, and
F6 (Insert) to insert a new character location in front of the
currently selected character.
When you’re done, click F8 (OK).

Inserting Blank Measures in a Song or Track
Track Edit Insert allows you to add silent measures to individual tracks or to
an entire song. Most often, you’ll fill this new space later with new phrases
and/or samples, though you can leave them silent if you want a pause
between music sections.
When you use Track Edit Insert, its effect on the track’s objects depends on
where the empty measures are inserted:
Objects before the inserted empty measures—
• play at their original
locations. If playback is already underway when the empty measures
begin, it continues over the empty measures.
Objects at the same location as the empty measures are inserted—
• are
moved back in time by the length of the inserted empty measures.
Objects after the inserted empty measures—
• are moved back in time by
the length of the inserted empty measures.
