Playing Back a Song
Playing Back a Song
Muting the Playback of a Specific
Instrument
If you want to silence the playback of a specific instrument, you can
mute the phrase track that contains the sequencer data for that
instrument.
For details on the procedure, refer to “Silencing the Playback
of a Track (Mute)” (p. 137).
Changing the Playback Tempo of a
Song
The tempo at which a song will play back is recorded on its tempo
track, but the tempo of the entire song can be adjusted during
playback. The tempo at which the song actually plays is called the
playback tempo .
The playback tempo is a temporary setting. It will be lost if you
switch to another song or turn off the power. If you want the
song to always play back at this tempo, you must re-save the
song to disk (p. 135).
1. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to the tempo display
( =**) in the upper part of the PLAY screen.
2. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to set the playback
tempo.
The playback tempo can be adjusted over a range from one half
to double the tempo change values recorded in the tempo track.
If you want to reset the playback tempo to the tempo change
values recorded in the tempo track, hold down [JUMP] and turn
the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC].
Playing a Song Back at a Fixed
Tempo (Muting the Tempo Track)
If the tempo changes while a song is being played back, this is
because those tempo changes have been recorded in the Tempo
track. If you want to override these tempo changes and play back at
a fixed tempo, you can mute the Tempo track.
For details on this operation, refer to “Silencing the Playback
of a Track (Mute)” (p. 137).
Playing Back a S-MRC Format Song
The Fantom is able to play back S-MRC format songs created on the
MC-50 in the same way as MRC Pro songs or Standard MIDI Files.
However, S-MRC format songs cannot be Quick Played. You must
first load them into internal memory and convert them to MRC Pro
song format before playing them.
For details on the procedure, refer to “Loading a File from Disk
into the Fantom (Load)” (p. 188).
Playing Back a Song Repeatedly
(Loop Play)
Use the Loop function when you want to repeatedly play back an
entire song or just a specified portion of a song.
1. Use [CURSOR] to move the cursor to “LOOP” in the upper
part of the PLAY screen.
2. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC] to turn the Loop switch
on.

Now you can perform Loop playback for the region and number
of times specified in the Loop window.
For details on making settings in the Loop window, refer to
“Specifying the Area of a Song that will Repeat (Loop
Points)” (p. 139).
Using a Controller to Change the Playback
Tempo
You can assign the Tempo Control function to any one of the
following controllers, which then makes it easy to adjust the
tempo during song playback. For details on how to make this
setting, refer to the explanatory page for each controller.
• Realtime controllers (p. 163)
• D Beam controller (p. 162)
• A pedal connected to the CTL 1/CTL 2 PEDAL jack (p. 164)
