Sampling
When you recorded your audio track, you scratched the surface of the
Fantom-G's sampling capabilities. The Fantom-G is actually a full-featured
sampler that lets you use sampled beat loops or any other sound in your
music. Here are some of the things you can do with the Fantom-G sampler:
•
You can sample any audio—
instruments, or line-level playback devices.
•
You can import samples—

•
You can sync samples—
time, even when the song's tempo changes.
•
You can "resample" the sound of the Fantom-G itself—
new samples for use in your songs or to play onstage from the keys,
pads, or D Beam.
•
When you mix a Fantom-G song down to stereo, you sample the entire
mix—as a stereo audio file you can send via USB to your computer, from
where you can create an MP3 or AAC file or burn a new audio CD.
The Fantom-G also provides a rich collection of sample-editing tools that
make working with samples easy and fun. You can learn about Fantom-G
sampling in the Sampling Workshop booklet.

Skip Back Sampling

The Fantom-G—like the Fantom-X before it—also offers a unique type of
sampling called "Skip Back Sampling" that can save your musical life.
The Fantom-G's sampler is always listening to what you're doing on the
Fantom-G, and it's quietly sampling it, too, in the background. This means
you never have lose a sudden flash of musical brilliance again. When you've
just played something unexpected and great, Skip Back Sampling can catch
it for you from thin air. Let's demonstrate how it works.
Select a patch you'd like to play.

Play anything you like on the keyboard, for about 10 seconds.

Press the blue SKIP BACK SAMPLING button. The

Fantom-G goes back in time and creates a new
sample from the last 10 seconds of your playing.
Skip Back Sampling can be pre-set to grab anywhere from the last 5 to
40 seconds of music. (10 seconds is the default setting.)
As with audio track recording, the amount of audio you can capture
with Skip Back Sampling depends on the amount of sample memory you
currently have available in your Fantom-G.
When the Fantom-G has captured your sample, it displays the Skip

Back Preview screen, where you can see the newly captured sample.
