•
 
Step Back
 
Cancel the previously input note.
•
 
Tie
 
Extend the length of the previously input note by the current 
setting.
•
 
Rest
 
Inputs a rest. First set the Note Type parameter to a length that 
is the same as the rest you want to input, and then press [F3 
(Rest)].
•
 
Zoom In
 
Narrow the range of keys shown in the display. Use this when 
you want to view certain notes at greater magnification.
•
 
Zoom Out
 
Expand the range of notes shown in the display. Use this when 
you want to see which notes have been input.
 
8.
 
Repeat the above steps to continue inputting.
 
The previous value of each parameter is remembered. This 
means that if you want to use the same settings as the 
previously input note, there is no need to change the settings. 
Once you have set the Gate Time parameter and Input Velocity 
parameter, it is not normally necessary to change them, so all 
you have to do is set the Step Time parameter and specify the 
pitch (note) of each note.
 
The note will not be finalized as long as you hold down the key. 
This means that you will be able to modify the various 
parameters of the note (Step Time, Gate Ratio, Velocity).
 
9.
 
When you are finished step recording, press [STOP].
 
The [REC] indicator will go dark.
 
If you are not happy with the results of the previous step 
recording, you can press [MENU], and from the Menu window 
that appears, select “Undo/Redo” to return to the state prior to 
recording (Undo/Redo).After executing Undo, you can use 
Redo to revert to the previous state. After executing Undo, you 
can execute Redo by performing the above procedure the above 
procedure once again.
 
Inputting a Chord
 
Press the chord. The cursor will move to the next step when you 
release all keys or pads.
 
Moving the input location
 
• Pressing [F8 (
 
⇒
 
)] will move the input location forward by the 
current Note Type value.
• Pressing [F7 (
 
⇐
 
)] will move the input location backward by the 
current Note Type value.
• Hold down [SHIFT] and press [F8 (
 
⇒
 
)] will advance the input 
location by one measure.
• Hold down [SHIFT] and press [F7 (
 
⇐
 
)] will return the input 
location by one measure.
 
Moving the display region
 
Pressing   or   will move the displayed region of notes 
upward or downward.
The Relation between Note Value Length 
and Gate Time
The relation between the length of the note value and the gate 
time is shown below. Since the Fantom-X’s sequencer uses a 
TPQN (Ticks Per Quarter Note; i.e., resolution) of 480, a quarter 
note gate time is 480 ticks.
The gate time that is recorded in step recording will be the 
original gate time value multiplied by the value of the Gate 
Ratio parameter. For example, if the Gate Ratio parameter 
is set to “80%,” inputting a quarter note will mean that the 
gate time is 480 x 0.8=384.
