Zoom MRT-3 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
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.
