How to Make a Track With Fantom X6

Roland's Fantom X line of keyboard workstations provides users with almost a gigabyte of internal memory, and expandable RAM (Random Access Memory). The workstation's ample space and processing power, enables users to create complex projects with the keyboard's built-in sampler. Before you begin recording tracks on your Fantom X6, take some time to familiarize yourself with the X6's track recording procedures.

Use the "Wait Note" option if you want to start recording as soon as your first note is played.
