This section describes other convenient functions of the MRT-3 and how to return the unit to the
factory default condition.
Controlling the MRT-3 With a Foot Switch
The separately available foot switch FS01 can be used to control various functions of the MRT-3.
1.
Connect the FS01 to the [FOOT SW] jack on the rear panel.
2.
In pattern mode, press the [FUNCTION] key and then pad 4 (FOOT SW).
The currently selected foot switch function is shown on the display.
3.
Use the pads and keys to select the foot switch function.
The subsequent operation steps are different, depending on which function is to be
controlled with the foot switch. The following functions can be selected.
Use FS01 to produce the sound of a pad
This function allows you to produce the sound of a specific pad when you operate the foot
switch. This is convenient for example to play the sound of a bass drum with your foot.
To select this function, press the [FUNCTION] key and then pad 4 (FOOT SW). Then
press the foot switch, release it, and use the [PAD BANK] key and pads 1 – 7 to select the
pad sound to assign to the foot switch. (The intensity with which you hit the pad when
making the selection is also memorized.)
The display shows the pad number as A1 – A7, B1 – B7.
Use FS01 to switch between the sounds of two pads
This function allows you to assign two drum or percussion sounds to a pad and use the
foot switch to control which sound is produced. This is convenient for example to switch
between open and closed hi-hat sound with your foot.
To select this function, press the [FUNCTION] key and then pad 4 (FOOT SW). Then press
the foot switch and release it. Finally, push the first pad, followed by the second pad.
The number of the first pad is shown on the first two digits of the display, and the number
of the second pad on the lower last digits.
