Looped Playback - Roland Fantom-G FGWS11 Manual

During sequencing, you have the same tools available to you
as you have with track sequencing as described on Page 15.
Hit PLAY or click F8 (Start) to close the Realtime Rec Standby window,
7
display the Realtime Rec window, and begin sequencing.
Sequencing ends when you hit STOP or reach the end of the phrase
as set by the Loop Sw or End Sw and the Rec End Point parameter.
To play back what you've sequenced, press and hold down F7
8
(Preview) on the Phrase List screen.
Be sure to store the phrase and current studio set in your project. The
easiest way to save your phrases is to click F3 (Util Menu) and select
Save All. Use the WRITE button to store your studio set. (You can also
save them both in one step by using WRITE to save the entire song.)
To sequence another part in the phrase, press STUDIO and repeat
9
Steps 2-9, making sure to select the same phrase in Step 5.
Sequencing directly into a phrase takes place on the Phrase List screen,
so make sure that's where you are when you hit REC—if you're on the
Song Play or Edit screen, you'll be sequencing onto a MIDI track.

Looped Playback

You can loop the playback of a song—or a section of a song—in
the Loop window. To open this window during playback, click F5
(Loop) from the Song Play or Edit screen, or hold down the SHIFT
button and press the LOOP button from any screen.
On the Loop screen, set the Repeat Times parameter to the number of times you
want your music to loop, or to INF, for infinity, to keep going until you hit STOP.
To define the section of music to be looped, you set the Start Point and End
Point parameters. You can set them manually or on the fly in realtime as your
song plays—this is handy when you want to loop the playback of a section
somewhere in the middle of a song. Here's how to set them:
Open the Loop window.
1
Use  or  to to navigate to a few measures before the song section
2
you want to loop.
Start playback and click F5 (Set Start) at the beginning of the section
3
you want to loop.
Click F6 (Set End) at the end of the section you want to loop.
4
Press STOP to halt playback.
5
If your clicks in Steps 3 and 4 weren't perfectly precise, you can
6
manually adjust the Start Point and End Point and parameters.
To loop entire measures, set Start Point to the first bar, beat, and tick
of the first measure of the desired section. Set End Point to the first
tick of the measure directly after the last one you want looped.
Once you've set everything up, you can turn looping on by clicking F7 (Loop)
so its red indicator bar lights, or press the LOOP button so it lights.
Recording an Audio Track—In Detail
As with sequencing MIDI tracks,
this section goes into the details
of recording audio tracks in the
Fantom-G. If you're looking for a
quick tutorial, Page 14 of the
Workshop booklet The Fantom-G
Possibilities is the place to go. And,
as with sequencing, the numbered
steps you'll find in the following
sections are intended only to place
the various screens and concepts
we'll cover in context.
Top Rewind Fast-Forward
You'll use the same transport buttons you used
for sequencing for audio-track recording.
