When a pattern that contains nothing is selected, the display shows
only "E".
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.

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.
