5 Exploring the F antom-G Sounds Live Mode and Live Sets The F antom-G is more than anything else about Live mode, where you can select “live sets. ” A live set is a combination of eight patches, rhythm sets, or sample sets , along with their patch effects, or • “PFX”— from the Fant om-G’ s internal memory.
6 PRST 001:System G Let’ s begin with the first live set the F antom- G displays when you power up: PRST 001: System G. This live set does more than just show off the great sound of the F antom-G—it also show s y ou how you can split and layer patches in a live set.
7 PRST 003:Within Y ou Within Y ou pr ovides a gr oup of instruments for playing Indian music. It shows the creativ e ways in which you can split your keyboard. First of all, we’ ve got something new here: Part 8 is playing a rhythm set, as shown in the T ype column.

Press a pad to begin playback of its r hythm pattern—the pad flashes as the pattern plays. T o change immediat ely to another rhythm pattern, press another pad .
9 Although in Bell Mystic, the pads trigger only this single arpeggio style, each pad can trigger its own style, providing you a range of choices. This is just another of the pads’ interesting capabilities we’ll be discussing in the Power User Control 2: The Pads booklet.
10 P atch Remain One of the F antom-G’ s best features is its Patch Remain featur e, which is available in both Live mode and Single mode, which we ’ll discuss next. Patch Remain allows you to switch from one live set to another—or one patch to another in Single mode—without hearing any glitching .

16 Phraseology Each time you sequence in the F antom-G, you creat e a chunk of MIDI data called a “ phrase. ” The phrase is assigned to a track for use in your song . There are two big advantages to phrase -based recording: Phrases make song construction and editing easier .
17 Y ou can set the tempo by playing it— • when you tap three or four beats on the F6 ( T ap T empo) button. setting it the BPM (“Beats Per Minute”) value— • using the V alue dial. T o set the coarse BPM, turn the V alue dial. T o set the fine tempo , hold down SHIFT and turn the V alue dial.
