Each long row of dots is a track. A solid line represents

the currently selected track.

20. Play the keyboard—in this performance, a

piano is assigned to Track 1, so figure out a

piano part to go along with Track 10.

21. Press Play to show the Realtime Rec Control

window so you can once again see where you are.

22. Press the Record button again to exit Rehearsal mode, and

then record your new piano part.

23. Press Record to enter Rehearsal mode again, and then

press Play to hide the Realtime Rec Control window.

25. Press PART/TRACK Button 2—let’s now record on Track 2.

26. Track 2 is currently set to use a piano sound, but we can

change that. Underneath the Fantom-Xa’s pads, press the

CATEGORY button so it lights.

The Fantom-Xa’s patches are arranged in instrument

categories to make it easy for you to find the patch you

want. When CATEGORY is lit, you can press a pad to display

a patch category. By default, Pad 0 is selected—above the

pad, “PIANO” is printed, and on the display, you can see a

list of acoustic piano patches.

25. Try out the various pads, and turn the VALUE dial or use the

6 and 5 buttons to select a new patch. You can audition

patches on the keyboard since we’re in Rehearsal mode.

Each pad provides access to a few related categories. You can get to these

additional categories by pressing

4 and 3.

26. When you’ve found a patch with which you’d like to record,

press F6 (SELECT) and work out the part you want to play.

27. Press Play to display the Realtime Rec Control screen, press

Record to exit Rehearsal mode, and then record your new

track.

You can continue in this way, adding as many tracks as you

like.

28. When you’re done recording, hit Stop, then Reset and Play

to hear what you’ve recorded.

Reset Stop

You can save what you’ve recorded as a new Fantom-Xa song. See “Saving a

Song (Save)” in the Fantom-Xa Owner’s Manual to learn how.
