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 song. The next time you load that song, the phrases of
performance data and the settings for the sound generator and effects will all reproduce the
state in which the song was last saved.
Track
Within the Fantom-G’s sequencer, a track is an area where a performance can be recorded.
There are twenty-four audio tracks for recording audio (samples), and 128 MIDI tracks for
recording MIDI (phrases).
Patch
Patches correspond to instrumental sounds such as bass, piano, and guitar.
Studio Set
A studio set contains settings for sixteen parts, allowing you to use up to sixteen patches
simultaneously.
Part
A studio set contains sixteen parts, and you can control the volume, pan, and other aspects of
the sound independently for each part. For example you can select a piano patch for part 1, a
bass patch for part 2, a drum patch for part 10, etc., and adjust the volume balance for each
instrument.
