Performing with Rhythm Patterns

What is a rhythm pattern?
The FANTOM can automatically play a variety of rhythms while you
perform.
The performance data for these rhythms are called "rhythm
patterns".
In a band, the drums typically repeat fixed patterns that are one or
two measures long. A wide variety of performance data used as the
basis of these repetitions is built-in and organized into categories
for uses such as intro, verse, fill, and ending. The type of each
pattern is indicated by its rhythm pattern name.
Pattern Explanation
These are performance patterns used during
Intro
the introduction.
These are the main performance patterns. "1" is
Verse1, 2
the basic pattern, and "2" is a variation of it.
These are ornamental performance patterns
inserted between phrases. Choose either "1"
Fill-In1, 2
or "2" depending on the pattern that follows
the fill.
These are performance patterns used during
Ending
the ending of the song.
