The Fantom-X displays “Connected” when communication
is established. The Fantom-X’s user or card memory appears
on the computer in a new window or on the desktop as a
removable storage device. User memory appears as “FANX
USER.” Card memory appears as “FANX CARD.”
5. Open FANX USER or FANX CARD on your computer.
Songs files and sample files can be copied from—and
must be restored to—the same specific folders in user and
card memory. Here’s where you’ll find them:

Song files Sample files
There are three types of song-related files. .svq files are Fantom-X song
files, .sva files contain audio track playback events, and .mid files are
Standard MIDI File-format versions of Fantom-X songs. To learn more, see
the Recording Music on the Fantom-X and Audio Tracks booklets.
Sample files can be .wav-format files or .aif-format (AIFF) files.
A sample’s file name reflects its location in user or card memory, not its
name as shown on the Fantom-X. Therefore, to ensure that it’s restored to
its original memory location in the Fantom-X, don’t rename the file.
When you restore a sample file, it replaces whatever’s currently in its user
memory location—if there’s a sample there you want to keep, save it to
another location before restoring your sample file.
6. Perform the desired backup or restore procedure.
7. When you’re done, eject the Fantom-X’s memory area from
your computer as you would any removable device.
To Back Up a Song or Samples to the Computer
Copy each Fantom-X file you wish to back up from its location
in the Fantom-X memory area mounted on your computer’s
desktop to the desired place on your computer’s hard drive.
To Restore a Song or Sample from the Computer
Copy each Fantom-X file you wish to restore from its location
on the computer’s hard drive to the appropriate folder in the
Fantom-X memory area mounted on the computer’s desktop.
Computer Backup for Everything Else
You can back up the following items from user memory to
your computer’s hard drive using the Fantom-X Version Two
Fantom-X Librarian software program:
• patches • rhythm sets • performances
• rhythm patterns • rhythm groups • arpeggio styles
• chord forms
This form of backup is more customizable than performing
an internal User Backup—described in the previous section—
since you can choose the data you want to back up instead of
always backing up everything.
To learn if your computer can run the Fantom-X Librarian software, see
Page 237 of the Fantom-X Owner’s Manual.
If you want to back up something stored on a memory card, move it to user
memory in order to make it available to the Librarian software.
