24 What is the Sequencer? The sequencer allows you to create a song by recording your performance on the keyboard or pads, or by recording audio sources such as a mic or guitar connected to the Fantom-G’s input jacks, and then play back the song you’ve created. The Fantom-G’s sequencer can record MIDI and audio. MIDI (phrases) MIDI records yo[...]

25 What is the Sequencer? Terminology Song On the Fantom-G, “song” refers to a composition you created using the sequencer, and includes the performance data and the sound generator settings all saved together. This means that a song contains all the material for that composition. When you’ve completed your composition, you should save the so[...]

26 Getting Your Equipment Together In order to take full advantage of the Fantom-G’s audio recording capability, you’ll need to expand the memory. By installing expansion DIMM memory you’ll be able to record extended lengths of audio. USB memory will allow you to save the important data you’ve recorded. The audio you record from a guitar or[...]

30 Preparations for Song Production When recording a new song, you’ll need to specify the time signature. However, after you’ve executed Song Clear or turned the power on, the time signature will always be set to 4/4, so you’ll need to change this only if your new song uses a time signature that’s different than this. In this example we’l[...]

31 Realtime-recording the Rhythm Using MIDI Now let’s use MIDI to realtime-record the rhythm part. The pads are a suitable way to record a percussion instrument performance. Realtime recording is the method in which your performance is recorded exactly as you strike the pads. 1. Press [PAD MODE] and then press pad [2] (RHYTHM). 2. When you press [...]

32 Realtime-recording the Rhythm Using MIDI Next you’ll select the MIDI track on which to record, and specify the recording-start measure.

34 Realtime-recording the Rhythm Using MIDI As an alternative to realtime recording, you can enter performance data one note at a time as though you were writing notes onto musical staff paper. This method is called “step recording.” This allows you to create phrases deliberately. For details, refer to “Inputting Data One Step at a Time (Step[...]

35 Realtime-recording the Bass and Piano as MIDI Now that we’ve recorded the bass and piano, let’s record the other parts. The process is the same as when you recorded the rhythm; the only difference is that we’ll use the keyboard instead of the pads. Select a part in the Studio Play screen, select a track in the Song Play screen, and then re[...]

36 Importing Audio Files from Your Computer The Fantom-G can import audio files (WAV or AIFF format) from your computer and use them as samples.

41 Using Song Edit to Arrange Samples or Phrases You can edit your song by moving or copying samples and phrases. 1. Press [SONG] twice to access the Song Edit screen Each time you press the [SONG] button, you’ll switch between the Song Play screen and Song Edit screen.

42 Adjusting the Overall Balance When you’ve finished recording, you’ll want to adjust the balance between the various parts. The process of adjusting the overall sound and clarifying the parts you want to emphasize is called “mixing.” Press [STUDIO] to access the Studio Play screen (mixer), and adjust the various settings. In the Studio Pl[...]

43 Mastering Mastering is the final state of song production, in which you apply a compressor and equalizer to add the final touches to the song. If your completed song is lacking in overall power, or if it sounds quite different when played back in a different environment, you should pay attention to the adjustments of the mastering process. 1. Pr[...]

45 Making a CD from Your Completed Song The Fantom-G provides a “Resampling” function that renders all of the audio tracks and MIDI tracks in your song into a single sample. The samples created by this resampling function can be copied to your computer as WAV files, and used by your computer to create a CD. Here’s how to combine all audio tra[...]

46 Making a CD from Your Completed Song After resampling, you can copy the resulting sample to your computer. The sample is a WAV file, so you can use it to create a CD on your computer. 1. Verify the number of the sample you created by resampling (In this example we’ll assume it is 0001). 2. Use a USB cable (sold separately) to connect the Fanto[...]
