Creating a Song
To create a song, you will use the Fantom-S’s Performance mode to create a set of sounds for
your song, and then record the song data into the sequencer.
Here’s how you can easily create a song by using rhythm patterns or the sampling function to
record into the sequencer.
This chapter explains how to create a song like the following.

1. Play the rhythm part on the pads, and mix-record it while looping
2. Recording the bass part as arpeggios
3. Realtime-record the piano part
4. Record the vocal part
What is a Performance?
A performance is a set patches and/or rhythm sets assigned to each of the sixteen parts,
allowing you to use sixteen sounds simultaneously.

The Fantom-S has a Layer screen (press [LAYER/SPLIT]) and a Mixer screen (press [MIXER]).
Use the Layer screen when you want to make settings for playing multiple patches together
(layered) or separately in different regions of the keyboard (split).
Use the Mixer screen when you want to make mixing settings such as adjusting the level and
pan for each of the sixteen parts.
