Quick Guide 4 Assembling a Song by Hitting the Pads

In song mode, you can preassign patterns to pads, making it easy to switch patterns by hitting

the pads. This function lets you assemble patterns for a song in real time, complete with fill-

ins and breaks.

The [SONG] key lights up and the RT-223

goes into song mode. The display shows the

name and number of the currently selected

song.

Turn power on.

Press the [SONG] key.

In this example, select a song from numbers

0 -9.

For these preprogrammed songs numbers,

patterns are already assigned to the pads.

Use the VALUE [+]/[-] keys to

select a song.

VALUE [+] key

VALUE [-] key

Select next lower song number. When you hit pad 0 (INTRO), the

intro pattern plays, and then the

RT-223 automatically switches to

pad 2 (VERSE A).
