Playing Back a Song

This section explains how to use the Fantom-G's sequencer to play
back a song.
We recommend that you put the sound generator in Studio
mode when creating or playing a song.
In Studio mode you can use up to sixteen sounds to play a
different instrument for each part, so this is the ideal mode for
playing a song that uses an ensemble of multiple instruments
such as drums, bass, and piano.

Three Ways to Play Back

There are three ways to play back: you can play Fantom-G songs,
Standard MIDI Files (SMF), or phrases (MIDI Phrases).
