Loading a File from Disk into
the Fantom (Load)
This function loads a song on disk into the internal memory. As the
Fantom loads MRC Pro songs as well as Standard MIDI Files and S-
MRC format songs, it copes efficiently with different song data. And
with MRC Pro songs, a Phrase track or Pattern can be specified for
loading. A complete song can therefore be created by combining
different MRC Pro song data.
Besides songs, you can also load data files or chain files into internal
memory.
When a file is loaded, internal memory will be rewritten. If
internal memory contains important data, you must save it to
disk before you load other data.
1. Access the Disk Utility screen (p. 187).
2. Press or to select the file that you want to load.
3. Press [1 (Load)].
The Load **** File window appears.
fig.16-03_50
The title of the window will depend on the file being loaded.
4. Press [8 (Execute)] to execute the operation.
Loading Individual Tracks/Patterns
of Song Data
If you have selected a song file (extension .SVQ) or Standard MIDI
File (extension .MID), you can load individual phrase tracks or
patterns.
1. After step 3 of Loading a File from Disk into the Fantom
(Load), press [6 (Track)].
The Load Song File (Track) window appears.
fig.16-04_50
2. Move the cursor to the left of “” (load source), and select
the track (TRK 116) or pattern (PTN001100) that you want
to load.
If you are loading from a Standard MIDI File, it is not possible to
select patterns (PTN001100). Also, if you are loading from a
Format 0 Standard MIDI File, this will be fixed at TRK ALL,
and individual tracks cannot be selected.
