Here we'll explain how to import audio files via USB memory (sold separately). Even if you
don't have USB memory, you can copy audio files to the Fantom-G's internal memory.

AIFF
In My Computer, right-click the "removable hard disk" icon and execute "Remove."
Drag the USB drive icon into the trash.
The imported file will be added to the sample list as a sample. This sample is temporary, and

the sample list screen.
