Using Patterns in a Song
To program a track to play a pattern, you record a “pattern call”
at the desired location. Here’s how:
1. Record the desired pattern(s) as described earlier.
2. Press REC to display the Realtime Rec Standby screen.
3. Press F6 (Step Rec)—the Step Rec Standby screen
appears.
4. Set Rec Track to the track you want to use for triggering
your pattern(s).
5. Set Rec Mode as desired. If you select:
•
MIX
—your pattern calls are combined with any other
data recorded on the track.
•
REPLACE
—your pattern calls replace any other data
recorded on the track.
6. Set Start Point to the measure, beat and tick at which you
want to place your first pattern.
A “tick” is 1/480th of a beat.
7. Press F7 (Ptn Call) to display the Step Rec (Pattern) screen.

8. Turn the VALUE dial to set the Pattern parameter to the
desired pattern for this location.
9. Press F8 (Put Ptn) to place the pattern’s call.
The sequencer moves forward in time by the pattern’s
length, shown beneath the Pattern parameter. A new
position in the list is created for your next pattern call.
You can change a pattern call you’ve just placed. Press F1 (Step Back),
select a different pattern, and then press F8 (Put Ptn) again.
10. To record more pattern calls:
•
one after another
—select each desired pattern and
press F8 (Put Ptn). When you’re finished entering
patterns, press STOP.
•
in a different location
—press STOP, and then repeat the
entire procedure, selecting MIX in Step 5.
You can use the Fantom-X’s Undo feature if you’d like to discard the entire
set of pattern calls you’ve just finished recording on a track.
