Using the Sequencer to Create a Song
When you wish to create a song, use the Fantom’s Multitimbre mode to create a set
of sounds for the song, and then record the song into the Fantom’s sequencer.
The Fantom’s Realtime Recording method allows you to record your keyboard
playing and controller movements as you perform them.
You can also create songs quickly and easily on the Fantom by using rhythm patterns
and the Arpeggiator to record into the sequencer in realtime.
This chapter explains how to create songs in three steps.
1. Use rhythm patterns to record the drums (p. 37)
2. Use the Arpeggiator to record the bass (p. 39)
3. Play the keyboard to record the melody (p. 40)
Erasing the Song from Internal Memory
(Song Initialize)
When you record a song, the sequencer data is temporarily recorded in internal
memory. If you want to record a new song, you must erase any existing sequencer
data from internal memory.
