Kit

The MRT-3 lets you select 14 sounds from the built-in drum and percussion sources to use for playing with the pads. A combination of such sounds, together with pad sensitivity information and level/tuning information for each pad is called a kit. The MRT-3 has a capacity for 70 kits. Kits 01 – 50 are read-only preset kits and kits 51 – 70 are read/write user kits.

Pad/Pad Bank

Each pad on the MRT-3 can be used to play the currently selected sound, and to record it as a phrase in a pattern.

To be able to play 14 sounds with the 7 pads on the unit, pads are grouped in two banks (A and B) which can be switched with the [PAD BANK] key. When the [PAD BANK] key is out, bank A is selected. When the key is lit, bank B is selected.
