What is a sequencer?
A sequencer can record and play back what you play on the keyboard or pads in real time (i.e., in the
exact timing at which you play) or input using step recording.
A sequencer records and plays back musical
performances
A sequencer records a variety of information, including that describing which keys were pressed, when
they were pressed, and how long they were held. When you play back this data, you'll hear the recorded
performance.

Recording the performance of one instrument on one
track (Single Channel Recording)
"Tracks" are memory areas within the sequencer that hold performances. The Fantom-X's sequencer
provides sixteen tracks. For example, you might record the pianist's performance on track 1, the Bassist's
performance on track 2, and so on to create your song.
For the sound generator, you should set up each part so it produces the appropriate instrument sound
(such as piano or Bass) for each of the sequencer tracks.
