Viewing Sequencer Data (View)

Since a phrase contains a large amount of sequencer data, the display
may be cluttered and difficult to read. For this reason, the Fantom-G
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.

2.
Press [F8 (View)].
The View Select window appears.
3.

displayed.

messages apply aftertouch to individual
keys.

messages apply various effects such as
modulation or expression.

Erasing Sequencer Data (Erase)
