3. Press the Record button.

The Fantom-Xa metronome starts and the Realtime Rec

(for “Record”) Standby window appears.

4. Press F3 (LOOP REC) to display the looping parameters.

If LOOP REC isn’t checkmarked at the bottom of the screen as shown above,

press F3 (LOOP REC) again so it is—this turns loop recording on.

By default, the sequencer plays for two measures, and then

loops, playing the same two measures over and over.

5. Press F4 (INPUT QTZ), for “Input Quantize,” so it’s

checkmarked onscreen above the F4 button.

Quantizing can help correct any timing mistakes you make

as you play—input quantizing does this as you record. The

default quantizing values shown in the display will move

all of the notes you play precisely to their nearest 16th

notes.

You can select the track you want to record by pressing the

corresponding PART/TRACK button.

If the 9-16 button located to the right of the PART/TRACK

buttons is unlit, the buttons select Tracks 1-8, as shown by

the white labels above the buttons. When the 9-16 button

is lit, the buttons select Tracks 9-16, as shown by their gray

labels.

The 9-16 button

We’ll begin recording with Track 10, where drum beats

are typically recorded—it’s a good place to start a new

musical idea. In the Seq : Template performance we

selected earlier, a rhythm set is assigned to Track 10.

6. Press 9-16 so it’s lit, and then press the second PART/TRACK

button as shown below to select Track 10.

7. Press the Play button.

The Realtime Rec Control window appears, and the

Fantom-Xa gives you a four-beat countoff before it begins

playing its empty measures over and over.
