Using Audio Tracks; What Are Audio Tracks - Roland Fantom X6 User Manual

Using audio tracks

What are audio tracks?

Eight dedicated audio tracks (stereo) have been added to the sequencer of the Fantom-X series.
This lets you use recorded or imported audio phrases directly in your songs.
The audio tracks are "time-stretched" so that they will stay in synchronization even if the tempo
changes during the song. The audio tracks can also be played back from midway through an
event.

Track settings are stored at the beginning of the song.
An audio track in a song does not directly record samples. Instead, the audio track contains
references to samples, and plays the samples via these references. In other words, the audio track
merely contains data (a "sample event") that says "play User (or Card) sample number 'x' at this
point," and even if you delete the sample event from an audio track, the sample data itself will
remain.
Up to 256 sample events can be placed on each audio track.
* Each audio track can play only one sample at a time. If you place sample events on a track so that they
overlap, the later event will be heard.
Up to 256 events can
be placed in a track.
