You can play patches, rhythm sets, or sample sets from the Fantom-G
keyboard in Single mode, but for now we're just discussing how to play
patches. We'll talk more about your options in the Single Mode in the
Fantom-G Workshop booklet.
The Patch List Screen

The Fantom-G's patches are organized into instrument-type categories

the Patch List screen. And—even better—a mouse lets you find a sound
by entering its name in a virtual QWERTY keyboard. We'll talk about
these features in the Power User Control Workshop booklet.
