F2 (SMF List)
Press F2 (SMF List) to display any SMFs ("Standard MIDI Files") you have in
the current project.
From the SMF List window, you can play any displayed SMF directly from the
list, or import it as a new phrase or song that's added to the current project.
You may want to import an SMF as a phrase when:
•
you're creating beats on another device and exporting them as SMFs—in
order to use them in a Fantom-G song.
•
you're setting up a performance set—in which you plan to trigger song-
length SMFs from the Fantom-G pads as clips.
When you import an SMF as a song, you can trade out the SMF's General-
MIDI sounds for the Fantom-G's sounds, and edit the song as desired.
To play an SMF in the SMF List window:
Press the STUDIO button and select the PRST 008:GM-2 Template to

load the General MIDI sounds the SMF requires.
Press the SONG button to return to the Song Play screen, and then

click F2 (SMF List) again.
Highlight the SMF in the SMF List window.

stop it—you'll actually have more control of the SMF's playback using
the Fantom-G's standard transport buttons.

F4 (Studio Play)
To jump back quickly to the current Studio set, click F4 (Studio Play). When
you do, you're taken immediately to the most recent Studio Play screen, or
the one for the currently selected part.
F6 (Marker)
You can add markers to your song that allow you to bookmark locations
within a song so you can get to them quickly. They're an incredibly efficient
way of getting around a song. You can also name your markers to make
different song sections easier to identify, since markers appear in red flags
above the song's tracks area.
Here's how to move from marker to marker. To move:
•
forward to the next marker—hold down SHIFT and press the
button.
•
back to the previous marker— hold down SHIFT and press the
button.
