Zoom MRT-3 operation manual Introduction

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the ZOOM Micro RhythmTrak MRT-3(subsequently referred to as

"the MRT-3").

The MRT-3 offers the following attractive features.

●Sophisticated rhythm machine incorporates 199 super-realistic drum and percussion sounds in an amazingly compact body. A full 396 preset patterns contain a wide variety of preprogrammed rhythms. 99 additional patterns can be programmed and stored by the user.

●Create a backing sequence (song) with up to 99 patterns. As many as 99 such songs can be stored for immediate use at any time.

●Internally lit pads let you follow the rhythm pattern visually during song playback or when using a pattern.

●Choose up to 14 sounds from the built-in drum and percussion sources, and then adjust level, tuning, and panning individually to create your very own drum kit. This gives you the flexibility to realize your creative vision.

●Perfectly intuitive and simple design lets you master the unit right away, even if you have never used a drum machine before.

●Optional foot switch FS01 allows pattern start/stop control or tempo switching. You can also operate an assigned sound such as bass drum or open/closed hi- hat.

●MIDI IN connector allows use with an external MIDI sequencer or other device. The Multitrak Recording Studio ZOOM MRS-4 is an ideal match, letting you synchronize the audio tracks from the recorder with the rhythm track from the MRT-3. Playing the sounds of the MRT-3 with an external MIDI component is also possible.

Please take the time to read this manual carefully so as to get the most out of your MRT-3 and to ensure optimum performance and reliability.
