Roland Fantom-G FGWS11 Manual page 20

When the Fantom-G receives 16- or 24-bit digital audio at sample
rates up to 96 kHz from the DIGITAL AUDIO (COAXIAL) or COMPUTER
USB inputs, the incoming audio is captured as 16-bit, 44.1 kHz digital
audio. (To stream audio from a computer, you'll need to install the
Fantom-G's driver on the computer.)
Rec Ch
This parameter allows you to select whether you want to capture mono or
stereo audio from the selected input(s). If you've selected a stereo input, or
pair of inputs, both sides are summed into a mono signal when you select
Mono.
Setting Your Input Level
Your recordings sound best when they're captured at the
proper level, and the input-level meters at the right of the
Audio Rec Standby window help you achieve that, along with
the PEAK indicator in the INPUT area of the Fantom-G front
panel.
Optimally, as you send your live audio into the Fantom-G,
your loudest levels should get as close as possible to the CLIP
indicators in the onscreen meters without lighting them, and
light the front-panel PEAK indicator only occasionally.
To adjust the level of incoming audio from the:
•
MIC/GUITAR input—turn the LEVEL knob to the left (as viewed from the
back of the Fantom-G) of the MIC/GUITAR input jack.
•
LINE IN input(s)— turn the LEVEL knob to the right (as viewed from the
back) of the LINE IN jacks.
You can adjust the level of audio received digitally from the COAXIAL
jack or via USB on the INPUT SETTING screen. See the Adding Live
Audio to the Fantom-G Workshop booklet for details.
End Sw, Rec End Point, Rec Length
If you'd like to restrict recording to a specific length, turn on the End Sw
parameter, and set Rec End Point to the desired length—the Rec End Point
and Rec Length values are automatically locked together.
Rec Start Point
When you hit PLAY or F8 (Start), recording starts at the green Now line's
current position. This read-only indicator shows you where you'll begin
recording, in bars, beats, and ticks.
F6 (MIDI Trk)
If you want to sequence a MIDI track instead of record an audio track, click F6
(MIDI Trk)—the MIDI-track Realtime Rec Standby window replaces the Audio
Rec Standby window.
F7 (Inp Setting)
The Fantom-G's input effects allow you to add processing to your incoming
audio.
•
You can do this just for listening—by setting the Audio Rec Standby
window's Audio Rec Mode parameter to solo.
•
You can record the effects along with the audio—by setting the Audio Rec
Standby window's Audio Rec Mode to SOLO w/ FX.
To set up your input effects, click F7 (Inp Setting) to display the INPUT
SETTING screen. We describe this screen in detail on Pages 4 and 5 of the
Adding Live Audio to the Fantom-G Workshop booklet.
When you're done setting up your input effects, press REC again to return to
the Audio Rec Standby window—if you press F8 (Exit), you're taken all the
way out to the Song Play or Edit screen, from where you'll need to hit REC
again.
