Connecting to Your Computer via USB (USB Mode)
The Fantom-X has two modes of USB functionality: storage mode for
transferring files, and MIDI mode for sending and receiving MIDI

Fantom-X; they cannot be used simultaneously.
The USB mode (file transfer/MIDI communication) must be
switched before you connect the Fantom-X with your computer.
Each mode can be used with the following operating systems.
