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.
