Zoom MRT-3 Adjust the tempo if necessary, Tap the pads in accordance with the metronome sound

Using Patterns (Pattern Mode)

6.Adjust the tempo if necessary.

The pattern tempo can be changed at any time. For recording a difficult phrase, it might be helpful to temporarily reduce the tempo.

7.Tap the pads in accordance with the metronome sound.

The sound of the respective pad is heard, and it is recorded for the duration set with the quantize value. You can verify the current position in the pattern by checking the display. When the end of the pattern is reached, the recording loops back to the beginning and continues, allowing you to add to the recording as often as desired. (If necessary, use the [PAD BANK] key to change the pad bank.)

8.To temporarily pause pattern recording, press the [REC] key while real-time recording is in progress.

The [REC] key starts to flash. If you hit a pad in this condition, the sound will be heard, but it is not recorded. This is useful to check the phrasing and sound before actually recording. To resume recording, press the [REC] key once more.

9.To erase the sound from a specific pad, push the pad while holding down the [DELETE/ERASE] key.

While the key is held down, the sound from that pad is erased from the pattern.
