There is no way to chain play or quick play a SMF like the Fantom does. I would like this option also. A work around is to record the sequence then play back as a sample with the pads. I've done this with some songs but prefer to use midi files instead of waves so I have the option to mix or mute tracks, etc. I have also used an older version of Sonar and create a set list of midi files and it will chain play the FA but I generally just take my Fantom and use it as the controller and use the FA for the sounds since they are better than the Fantom sounds. I purchased the FA to replace the aging Fantom but continue to use it for this very reason.
In my opinion the FA is designed more for song creation than performance although when playing with a full band and not needing sequences or backing tracks I use just the FA.
