Playing Back a Song
This chapter explains how you can use the Fantom-Xa’s sequencer to
play back a song.
When you play back a song, we recommend that you use the sound
generator in
Performance mode
. In Performance mode, up to
sixteen different sounds can be played separately by the sixteen
parts, making this mode ideal for playing songs that are multi-
instrument ensembles of drums, bass, piano, etc.
The Fantom-Xa is able to play a song from user memory and
memory card immediately, without first loading the song into
Temporary Area. This is called the
Quick Play
function.
Quick Play can be used with MRC Pro songs (extension:.SVQ) and
Standard MIDI Files (extension:.MID).

Press [SONG EDIT <-> LIST] twice.
The SONG LIST screen appears.

If you have interrupted song playback, “+” may be displayed at
the right of the measure number. This indicates that the song is
stopped in mid measure.
There will be no sound if samples have not been loaded for the
patches used in the song. You must load the necessary samples
beforehand (p. 153).
