Saving a Song as an SMF
You can export MIDI tracks in SMF format to
move your song over to a DAW ("Digital Audio
workstation") on a computer, or to exchange
songs with friends. To do this, navigate to
the Song Play screen, click F7 (Song Util) and
select Save as SMF. The Fantom-G displays a
screen with a pair of settings on it, as well as
detailed explanations of your options.
The first parameter, SMF Format Select, allows
you to choose the type of SMF you want to
export. The second lets you select the MIDI
tracks to be included, based on the type of
Fantom-G sounds they use.
To learn more about MIDI and SMFs, check out our An Introduction to
MIDI InFocus booklet, which you can download for free from here.
When you save a song as an SMF, its audio tracks and samples aren't
included.
