Assigning a Pattern to a Phrase Track

27 Aug 2007, 16:20

Never tried this before now, instructions on pg 176 of the Fantom manual don't work for me. I am unable to assign a pattern to a phrase track. The problem may be hardware related but whenever I do step 2(press(rec) and F6(step record and press the pattern call button, the pattern name box which I am able to change with the value knob, only shows patterns of zero length and thus trying to use the Put ptn button comes up with " Empty Sampled". I have to use stop on the Record button to get out of this screen as the Step back button also doesn't work.

Aparrently the 100 preset patterns have no length thus can't be loaded. I did a Factory Reset to see if that would make a difference but it doesn't.

Any ideas, I'm baffled.

Well, the sequencer patterns are empty, all is correct, you have to record something into them first. Did you think they are the same as rhythm machine patterns? They're separate.

I must be, however then I have a problem of assigning a Rythm pattern to a track if that is possible.

Thanks for your quick reply

You cannot just "assign" a rhythm pattern into a sequencer track. You need to switch the rhythm machine on, then the 8 upper pads will have rhythms on them. Start recording in the sequencer, then push one of the pads to record the pattern.

Thank you, I now understand I have to record my own patterns and that Rythm patterns are different and need to be recorded from the drum machine feature.

Now I'm just hoping that what I had read somewhere in the manual, enables you to set up an arpeggiator style and a rythm pattern and record both of them together in sync but that would be another topic.

Thanks for your help, it was timely and accurate as usual.

can't figure that out in step record either. real-time record works tho.
(record pattern first in user memory)
(Pretty easy, hit pad (rhythm) on the beat)

What I don't understand is: I insert a "Pattern call message" (after naming it, right?). How does it know which rhythm pattern I want "called" up?
