Playing Back a Song

2. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to set the playback

tempo.

• If you press [7 (Click)] to display the check mark (

✔), a click will

sound at the specified tempo. This will switch on/off each time
you press the button.

• By pressing [6 (Tap)] you can set the tempo to the timing at

which you press the button (Tap Tempo). Press the button three
or more times at quarter-note intervals of the desired tempo.

3. When you have finished making settings, press [8 (Close)].

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).

Playing Back a Song Repeatedly

(Loop Play)

Use the Loop function when you want to repeatedly play back an
entire song or just a specified portion of a song.

1. Press [SEQUNENCER].

2. Press [4 (Loop)].

The Loop window appears.

3. Press [7 (Loop)] to assign a check mark (

).

The Loop switch will turn on. Now playback will loop according
to the region and the number of times specified in the Loop
window. To turn off the Loop switch, press [7 (Loop)] once
again.

For details on making settings in the Loop window, refer to
“Specifying the Area of a Song that will Repeat (Loop

Points)” (p. 151).

4. When you have finished making settings, press [8 (Close)]

to close the Loop window.

Using the D Beam Controller to

Start/Stop Song Playback

You can start/stop song playback by passing your hand over the D
Beam controller.

1. Select the song that you want to play back (p. 138).

4. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to set this to

“START/STOP.”

5. Press D BEAM [ASSIGNABLE] to turn on the D Beam

controller.

6. When you pass your hand across the D Beam controller,

song playback will start. When you pass your hand across it

once again, playback will stop.

You can also start/stop song playback by using a pedal
connected to the PEDAL CONTROL jack (p. 189).

Using a Controller to Change the Playback
Tempo

Since tempo control is assigned to the realtime control knob of
the Fantom-S, it's easy to change the playback tempo of the
song.
