Playing Back a Song
The tempo at which a song will play back is recorded on its tempo
track, but the tempo of the entire song can be adjusted during
playback. The tempo at which the song actually plays is called the
playback tempo.
The playback tempo is a temporary setting. It will be lost if you
switch to another song or turn off the power. If you want the
song to always play back at this tempo, you must re-save the
song to disk (p. 198).
1. Press [TEMPO].
The Tempo window appears.
fig.17-004_50
2. Turn the VALUE dial or press [INC]/[DEC] to set the
playback tempo.
• If you press [F7 (Click)] to light it into red, a click will sound at
the specified tempo. This will switch on/off each time you press
the button.
• By pressing [F6 (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 [F8
(Close)].
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. 178).
The Fantom-X 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 Temporary Area and convert them to MRC
Pro song format before playing them.
For details on the procedure, refer to “Loading a Song (Load)”
(p. 201).
Use the Loop function when you want to repeatedly play back an
entire song or just a specified portion of a song.
1. Press [SONG EDIT].
2. Press [F4 (Loop)].
The Loop window appears.
3. Press [F7 (Loop)] to light it into red.
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 [F7 (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. 179).
4. When you have finished making settings, press [F8 (Close)]
to close the Loop window.
Changing the Playback Tempo of a
Song
Using a Controller to Change the Playback
Tempo
Since tempo control is assigned to the realtime control knob of
the Fantom-X, it’s easy to change the playback tempo of the
song.

1. Press the REALTIME CONTROL button so the ARP/
RHY indicator lights.
2. Play back the song, and turn the realtime control knob.
You are also free to assign the Tempo Control function to
the following controllers. For details on this setting, refer to
the pages that discuss each controller.
