Here’s what’s in each of the folders in a project folder:
This folder: Contains:
PNL .txt files the Fantom-G has imported for
use on the Favorite screens; and a file
containing the project’s Favorites
SEQ the PHS, RHY, SMF, and SNG folders
PHS the project’s phrases
RHY the project’s rhythm pattern sets
RPS the project’s RPS sets
SMF SMF (.mid) files you intend to play or
import into the Fantom-G as a phrase
or song
SNG the project’s songs
SMPL the project’s samples
SND one .SVD file for the project’s patches,
rhythm sets, live sets, and studio sets;
one .SVD file for the project’s system
settings; and an .SVD file for each
installed ARX board’s patches, rhythm
sets, live sets, and studio sets
Be sure not to alter the files or folders in a project folder—other than
by adding SMFs to the SMF folder, as we’ll discuss in a moment—to
avoid causing problems using the project in the Fantom-G later on.
You can make a backup copy of an entire project folder by dragging the
entire .prj folder to your computer’s hard drive to copy it. If you need
to restore the project later, drag it back to the FANTOM G removable
drive and replace the older copy there.
Using the IMPORT Folder
The IMPORT folder acts as a temporary holding place for files you’ll be
importing into the Fantom-G.
Importing Audio Files
You can import 16-bit .WAV- or AIFF-format audio files with a sample rate of
44.1 kHz into the Fantom-G.
It’s critical that you don’t use Windows Media Player for playing any
audio files you intend to import into the Fantom-G. Windows Media
Player may add data to the files that can make them unusable, or
hazardous to your other project data. (You can safely play the files in
iTunes if you need to audition the files before importing them.)
To import an audio file into the Fantom-G:
Drag-copy the file from your computer into the FANTOM G removable
1
drive’s IMPORT folder.
Disconnect the Fantom-G from your computer following the
2
instructions in “Shutting Down the USB File-Exchange Connection “
on Page 14.
Press the Fantom-G’s MENU button.

Click F4 (Import Audio) and select the memory area that contains the 4
IMPORT folder by clicking F1 (Internal) or F2 (USB Memory). Audio
files in the IMPORT folder appear in a list at the right of the screen.
Select the audio file you want to import. To import multiple files, use
5
F4 (Mark √) and/or F5 (Mark All √) as necessary.
Click F8 (Import Audio), and F7 (OK) to confirm your intentions—the
6
file is imported and appears in the sample list.
To store the sample in the project—so it’s there the next time you
7
load the project—press WRITE and name and save the sample.
