Pattern Recording (Real-Time Recording)

The RT-123 has 99 user pattern slots which can be filled with your own patterns. Creating and recording a pattern is possible in two ways: by actually playing the pattern on the pads (real-time recording), or by entering each sound individually (step recording). The procedure for real-time recording of a drum track and bass track is described below.

Real-time recording of a drum track

Real-time recording refers to the process of playing the pads while listening to a metronome sound and recording what you play. First, let's record drum tracks in real time.

STEP2 Press the [FUNCTION] key and then pad 6 (QUANTIZE).

The display shows the current quantize setting. Quantization refers to the degree of detail with which notes are recorded. By setting the quantize value to the shortest note that you want to use for the pattern, recording can be carried out while automatically maintaining precise timing. You can also turn the quantize function off, to retain the human touch that is characterized by slightly irregular timing.

HINT

The [FUNCTION] key is used to make various settings for the RT-123.
