FANTOM EX: How to import a sample to one of the SAMPLE PADS

Use the following procedure to import a sample from a USB memory stick or from the FANTOM EX's internal storage to one of the sample pads:

1. Press the [PAD MODE] button.
   
2. Press EDIT at the bottom left of the screen and then press SAMPLE PAD.
   
3. Press IMPORT at the bottom right of the screen.
   
4. Select the USB MEMORY tab if the sample is located on a connected USB memory stick.
   Select the INTERNAL STORAGE tab if the sample was recorded and saved directly to internal storage.
   
5. Select the folder where the sample was saved and press [ENTER].

6. Select the .wav file to be imported and press [ENTER] or "IMPORT".
   The SAMPLE IMPORT (SELECT DESTINATION) screen appears.

   Note: Here are the specifications for the audio files that can be imported:

   • WAV: 8/16/24 bit rate, 44.1/48/96 kHz sampling frequency
   • AIFF: 8/16/24 bit rate, 44.1/48/96 kHz sampling frequency
   • MP3: MPEG-1 audio layer 3 format. 64/80/96/112/128/160/192/224/256/320 kbps, VBR (variable) bit rate. 44.1/48 kHz sampling frequency
7. Select the destination pad for the sample and press EXECUTE at the bottom right on the screen.
8. Press OK to confirm (this will overwrite the existing sample in that location).
   If you do not wish to overwrite an existing sample, choose a different location/pad.
