Playing a Song Back at a Fixed
Tempo (Muting the Tempo Track)
If the tempo changes while a song is being played back, this is
because those tempo changes have been recorded in the Tempo
track. If you want to override these tempo changes and play back at
a fixed tempo, you can mute the Tempo track.
For details on this operation, refer to “Silencing the Playback
of a Track (Mute)” (p. 150).
Playing Back a S-MRC Format Song
The Fantom-S is able to play back S-MRC format songs created on
the MC-50 in the same way as MRC Pro songs or Standard MIDI
Files. However, S-MRC format songs cannot be Quick Played. You
must first load them into internal memory and convert them to MRC
Pro song format before playing them.
For details on the procedure, refer to “Loading a Song (Load)”
(p. 170).
