Options, Options, Options

To keep our tutorial simple, we skipped right past a whole

range of possibilities you might want to explore. Here’s a

partial list of things you might want to do differently in real

life.

• Recording mode—In Step 3, when we first displayed the

Realtime Rec Standby window, we left Rec Mode set to

MIX, so that new notes we play are recorded on top of

any already-recorded notes. You might, on the other hand,

prefer the REPLACE setting, where anything new you

record replaces anything already on the track.

• Loop length—When we turned on loop recording in Step

4, we elected to use the default LOOP/PUNCH parameter

setting of LOOP( 2 MEAS). In real life, you’d more likely want

to set this parameter to LOOP( 4 MEAS), for a four-measure

loop, or LOOP( 8 MEAS) for an eight-measure loop.

• Input quantize settings—We used the default Input

Quantize settings, correcting note timing strictly to a grid

of 16th notes. You may prefer some other beat value, or

you may prefer to add a shuffle feel to your playing instead

of using a grid. You may also prefer to record without

quantizing, and then quantize later using the Fantom-Xa’s

song-editing tools.

• Metronome—You may prefer to record without a

metronome when you’re working with a Fantom-Xa

rhythm. See the Fantom-Xa Owner’s Manual to learn how

to turn off the metronome.

• Track choices—We recorded on Tracks 10, 1, and 2, in that

order. You can, of course, record on whatever tracks you

like, and in any order.

• Erasing options—The Erase window offers a range of ways

to erase recorded data on the fly. See the Fantom-Xa

Owner’s Manual for details.

• Keys or pads—In this tutorial, we used the keyboard. You

can also record from the Fantom-Xa pads.

These are just a few ideas. Take time to explore all of the

recording options and song-editing tools explained in your

Owner’s Manual. You’ll find the Fantom-Xa to be a potent

creative companion.
