Selecting a Sound for Recording

Before you record a song, select Studio mode and choose the sound
you'll use for recording.
The Fantom-G's sequencer can record your performance
regardless of the sound generator mode (Single, Live, or
Studio), but we recommend that you choose Studio mode when
you want to record a song.
In Studio mode, when you use the Fantom-G's keyboard and
pads to record, you'll hear only the sound of the specified MIDI
channel, and you can use a different sound for each part (up to
sixteen sounds) to play back the recorded song. This means that
Studio mode is the appropriate choice when recording or
playing back an ensemble performance using multiple
instruments such as drums, bass, and piano.
We recommend that you turn the Keyboard Switch (p. 69) off
for all parts. If this is on, multiple parts of your performance
will be recorded to a single phrase, which is not what you want
when creating a song.

Erasing the Song/Phrases from the
Temporary Area (Song Clear)
When you record a song, the performance data is recorded into the
temporary area. If you want to record a new song, you'll need to
erase the existing performance data from the temporary area before
you begin.
If you've been editing the currently-opened song, save the song
before you continue (p. 254).
