ZOOM RT-223

Using the Metronome (Metronome Mode)
The RT-223 incorporates a metronome function that is ideal to provide a guide rhythm for practice. The
metronome also lets you use mixed beat patterns, such as 2 + 3 or 3 + 4 beat combinations.
■
Beat types
The metronome of the RT-223 supports beats
using quarter notes or eighth notes as
denominator (unit note). The following
numerators (number of beats) can be selected.
Within the beats using the quarter note
denominator, there are five subtypes (C1, C2, C3,
C4, C5) that differ in dynamics and count detail.
For example, if a 4/4 beat is selected, the C1 - C5
variations are as follows.
NOTE
•
Depending on the beat type, some dynamics
combinations are not available.
•
For beats using the eighth note denominator
(6/8, 7/8, 12/8), the dynamics cannot be
changed.

Mixed beat patterns
When using the metronome at a 5/4 beat, you can
select 2 + 3 or 3 + 2 as a numerator.
In the same way, when using the metronome at a
7/4 beat, you can select 3 + 4, or 4 +3, resulting in
different ways of counting the measure.
