Pattern Call; Tempo Change - Roland Fantom-Xa Owner's Manual

Editing Songs

Pattern Call

This is data that causes a pattern to play back. Use the Number
parameter to select the pattern number. The pattern name is shown
in parentheses ( ).
If the pattern called by the Pattern Call message extends beyond
the last measure of the song, the pattern playback will be
interrupted at that point.
* Only one pattern can be played at a time by Pattern Call messages in a
given phrase track. This means that if a Pattern Call message is
recorded at a location before the previous pattern has finished playing,
the pattern that was playing will be interrupted, and the next pattern
will begin playing. If more than one Pattern Call message is recorded
at the same location, the message that is displayed last in the
Microscope screen will be played.
* Although it is possible to record Pattern Call messages in a pattern,
they will not be played. If you want to place the data of another pattern
into a pattern, use Track Edit to copy the data.
Data Handled by the Tempo Track
The Tempo track records tempo data for the song.

Tempo Change

This data specifies the tempo. The song will play back according to
the "Value" of the tempo change.
The value displayed in " = **" is the tempo at which the song will
actually play (the playback tempo), and can be changed only in the
PLAY screen of each mode.
* If the tempo change value differs from the playback tempo, this means
that the playback tempo has been changed temporarily. In other words,
since the tempo change value has not been rewritten, this setting will
be lost if you select another song or turn off the power. If you want to
play back at this tempo the next time as well, you must re-save the
song to disk. This will rewrite the tempo change value so that it
matches the playback tempo.
Data Handled by the Beat Track
The Beat track records time signature data.
Beat Change
This specifies the time signature (Beat).

Viewing Sequencer Data (View)
Since a phrase track or pattern contains a large amount of sequencer
data, the display may be cluttered and difficult to read. For this
reason, the Fantom-Xa lets you specify the type(s) of sequencer data
that will be displayed in the screen. This is convenient when you
want to check or edit only a specific type of sequencer data.
