Using the Sequencer to Create a Song
Selecting a Multitimbre
When you create songs or play song data on the Fantom, each part uses a different
MIDI channel on which it plays its assigned patch. A set of sounds for all of the
Fantom’s parts is called a multitimbre. When you use a multitimbre to record and
play back a song, the keyboard plays the selected part while the sequencer plays
back the song data for all 16 parts. This makes it easy to record complete musical
arrangements.
Here’s how to select Multitimbre “PRST: 05 Pop.”
