8.

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 Step Time parameter and specify the
pitch (note) of each note.

The note will not be finalized as long as you hold down the key.
This means that you will be able to modify the various
parameters of the note (Note Type, Gate Time, Input Velo).

When you are finished step recording, press [

].

The [

] indicator will go dark.

If you are not satisfied with the results of the previous step
recording, you can press [ERASE/UNDO] to return to the state
prior to recording (Undo/Redo). After executing Undo, you can
use Redo to revert to the previous state. After executing Undo,
you can execute Redo by performing the above procedure once
again.

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 [F6 (>)] will move the input location forward by the current
Note Type value.

Pressing [F5 (<)] will move the input location backward by the
current Note Type value.

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-Xa’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.
