Zoom MRT-3 Using Patterns (Pattern Mode)

This section shows how to play and record patterns of the MRT-3 in pattern mode.

Playing a Pattern

The MRT-3 has 396 read-only preset patterns (A01 – D99) and 99 read/write user patterns (U01 –

U99). To select and play a pattern, proceed as follows.

In the factory default condition, all user patterns are empty.

1.

Press the [PATTERN] key.

The [PATTERN] key lights up and the MRT-3 goes into pattern mode. The display shows

the bank and number of the currently selected pattern.

2.

Use the [VALUE +/-] keys to select the pattern number.

In pattern mode, the [VALUE +/-] keys serve to select the pattern. For example, if you

repeatedly press the [VALUE +] key, the patterns are switched in the order U01 ... U99

➝A01 ... A99 ➝B01 ... B99 ➝C01 ... C99 ➝D01 ... D99 ➝U01.

3.

To directly switch the bank, press the [FUNCTION] key and then use the [VALUE

+/-] keys.

This switches only the bank and keeps the pattern number.

The [FUNCTION] key serves for making various settings of the MRT-3. The actual effect of pressing

the key depends on the currently selected mode and on which other keys are used together with it.
