Explanation
Specifies whether track selection will be automatic or manual when recording on the sequencer.
MANUAL: You'll be able to select the track number manually. This is convenient when you
want to record a performance that consists of more than one channel.
AUTO: The phrase track of the same number as the current part will be selected automatical-
ly. This is convenient when you want to record only one channel in a track.
Explanation
Synchronization message that the Fantom-Xa's sequencer will use for operation
MASTER: The Fantom-Xa will be the master. Choose this setting when using the Fantom-Xa
by itself without synchronizing to another device, or when you want other MIDI devices to
synchronize to the Fantom-Xa.
SLAVE-MIDI: The Fantom-Xa will be the slave. Choose this setting when you want the Fan-
tom-Xa to synchronize to MIDI Clock messages received from another MIDI device.
SLAVE-MTC: The Fantom-Xa will be the slave. Choose this setting when you want the Fan-
tom-Xa to synchronize to MTC (MIDI Time Code) received from an external device.
REMOTE: Use this setting when you wish an external MIDI device to have remote start/stop
control. The tempo will be in accord with what has been set on the Fantom-Xa.
Set this parameter "ON" when you want synchronization related MIDI messages (MIDI Clock,
Start, Continue, Stop, Song Position Pointer and Song Select) to be transmitted to an external
MIDI device. If not, set it "OFF."
Specifies whether the arpeggio or rhythm pattern will start/stop in synchronization with the se-
quencer. This parameter does nothing if the sequencer is stopped.
OFF: Start/stop will not synchronize to the sequencer.
ON: While the sequencer is running, the arpeggio or rhythm pattern will start at the begin-
ning of the next measure. When you stop the sequencer, the arpeggio or rhythm pattern will
also stop.
Specifies whether the sequencer tempo will change (ON), or will not change (OFF) when you
switch performance.
