Playing in Performance Mode

Performance mode is ideal when you want to use the external MIDI
sequencer to create a song, or when you want to play song data.
When creating songs or playing song data, a different MIDI channel
is assigned for each patch or rhythm set used in a part. Such a set of
sounds selected for each part to play is called a performance.
In addition to the settings of each part, the following settings can
also be stored for each performance.
• Arpeggio and chord memory number or settings
• Rhythm group number or settings

Selecting a Performance
The Fantom-XR has three performance groups, including the User
group, Preset groups and Card group. Each of the User group and
Preset groups stores 64 performances, for a total of 128 performances.
USER
This is the group inside the Fantom-XR which can be rewritten.
Performances you yourself create can be stored in this group. The
Fantom-XR contains 64 preset performances.
PRST (Preset)
This is the group inside the Fantom-XR which cannot be rewritten.
However you may modify the settings of the currently selected
performance, and then store the modified performance in User
memory. The Fantom-XR contains 64 preset performances.
CARD (Memory Card)
This group lets you use patches stored on a memory card inserted in
the front panel PC card slot. Since the data in this group can be
rewritten, you can use this group to store patches that you create.
