Recording a New Idea
The Fantom-X is always ready to record when inspiration
strikes. It’s designed to let you record a new idea fast.
1. Press REC, for “RECORD.”
All of the recording-related buttons are grouped together on the Fantom-X panel.
The Realtime Rec Standby window pops open and the
Fantom-X metronome starts playing.
The metronome’s especially handy when you’re not playing along with
a rhythm. (You can also disable it if you prefer, as described in the
Sequencing on the Fantom-X Owner’s Workshop booklet.)
The parameters in the Realtime Rec Standby window allow you to
customize your recording session in a variety of ways. These parameters are
explained in the Workshop booklet Sequencing on the Fantom-X.
Set the Count In parameter to WAIT NOTE so recording
doesn’t begin until we start our rhythm again. Ready?
2. Strike Pad 9—the rhythm starts playing and recording
begins. The Realtime Recording window opens.
3. Play your keyboard part whenever you feel ready.
4. Once you’ve finished playing, press STOP. That’s it—you’ve
just made a new recording.
5. Press RHYTHM to turn off the rhythm pattern.
6. Press RESET, and then PLAY to hear your new recording.
We didn’t want to distract you earlier, but when the Realtime Recording
window is open, you can rehearse without recording. Once you’ve made
a recording, tools in this window also allow you to erase notes and other
things in realtime, and re-record, or “punch in,” anything you’d like to
fix. These tools are described in the Workshop booklet Sequencing on the
Fantom-X.
Undoing Your Work
If you’d like to start over again, you can “undo” your recording.
1. Press MENU—a menu pops open in which UNDO/REDO is
already selected.
