• Step Back
Cancel the previously input note.
• Tie
Extend the length of the previously input note by the current
setting.
• Rest
Inputs a rest. First set the Note Type parameter to a length that
is the same as the rest you want to input.
• Zoom In
Narrow the range of keys shown in the display. Use this when
you want to view certain notes at greater magnification.
• Zoom Out
Expand the range of notes shown in the display. Use this when
you want to see which notes have been input.
• Untie
Removes the most recently input tie.
9.
Repeat the above steps to continue inputting.
The previous value of each parameter is remembered. This
means that if you want to use the same settings as the
previously input note, there is no need to change the settings.
Once you have set the Gate Time parameter and Input Velocity
parameter, it is not normally necessary to change them, so all
you have to do is set the Note Type parameter and specify the
pitch (keyboard, pad) of each note.
10. When you are finished step recording, press [STOP].
The [REC] indicator will go dark.
You can Undo the result of recording (p. 217).
Inputting a Chord
Press the chord. The cursor will move to the next step when you
release all keys or pads.
Moving the input location
• Pressing [F8 (➜)] will move the input location forward by the
current Note Type value.

current Note Type value.
• Hold down [SHIFT] and press [F8 (➜)] will advance the input
location by one measure.

Moving the display region
Pressing or will move the displayed region of notes
upward or downward.

The Relation between Note Value Length
and Gate Time
The relation between the length of the note value and the gate
time is shown below. Since the Fantom-G's sequencer uses a
TPQN (Ticks Per Quarter Note; i.e., resolution) of 480, a quarter
note gate time is 480 ticks.

The gate time that is recorded in step recording will be the
original gate time value multiplied by the value of the Gate
Time parameter. For example, if the Gate Time parameter
is set to "80%," inputting a quarter note will mean that the
gate time is 480 x 0.8=384.
