Usage Precautions
• Electrical interference
For safety considerations, the RT-123 has been designed to provide maximum protection against the emission of electromagnetic radiation from inside the device, and protection from external interference. However, equipment that is very susceptible to interference or that emits powerful electromagnetic waves should not be placed near the RT-123, as the possibility of interference cannot be ruled out entirely.
With any type of digital control device, the RT-123 included, electromagnetic interference can cause malfunctioning and can corrupt or destroy data. Care should be taken to minimize the risk of damage.
• Cleaning
Please observe the following safety tips and precautions to ensure hazard-free use of the RT-123.
• Power requirements
Warning The RT-123 is powered by the supplied AC adapter. To prevent malfunction and safety hazards, do not use any other kind of AC adapter.
When using the RT-123 in an area with a different line voltage, please consult your local ZOOM distributor about acquiring a proper AC adapter.
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the RT-123. If necessary, slightly moisten the cloth. Do not use abrasive cleanser, wax, or solvents (such as paint thinner or cleaning alcohol), since these may dull the finish or damage the surface.
Please keep this manual in a convenient place for future reference.

Drum kits and bass programs
The backup sound provided by the RT-123 consists of up to two drum kits and one bass program. A drum kit is a collection of drum sounds including bass drum, snares, and tomtom, percussion sounds such as congas and bongos, and various other effect sounds. These are combined to create backing tracks for a wide range of music genres. The RT123 comes with 80 preprogrammed drum kits of which up to two can be used simultaneously. A bass program is a bass sound such as electric bass, acoustic bass, synthesizer bass, etc. 25 types of bass programs are available, of which one can be selected for playback.

The [BASS] key LED lights up and the current bass program can be played with the pads. Give it a try ! You will notice that different pads produce sound of a different pitch.
Unlike with the drum kit, the bass program does not consist of different instrument sounds. Rather, one type of bass sound is varied in pitch. You can use the 13 pads like the keys of a keyboard.
The illustration below shows an example for the notes produced by the 13 pads with a bass program.
HINT You can also shift the pitch of each pad (→ p. 24).

Playback of the currently selected pattern starts.
The patterns of the RT-123 can be thought of as "recordings" of up to 2 drum kits and 1 bass program. These are recorded on tracks that are combined to form the pattern. A pattern of the RT-123 therefore consists of drum track A, drum track B, and the bass track. Drum tracks A and B contain drum kit recordings and the bass track a bass program recording.

Guide Quick
Playing the Pads (Manual Play)
The RT-123 lets you not only play back existing patterns and songs, it also allows you to manually play the unit by tapping the pads. This section describes how to manually play the unit.
Playing by tapping the pads
The RT-123 assigns various sounds to the pads, depending on the currently selected drum kit. Play the pads to discover the realistic sounds offered by the RT-123.
Play) (Manual Pads the Playing
1 Press the [PATTERN] key.
STEP2 Press the [DRUM A] key.
During manual play, you use the [DRUM A] key, [DRUM B] key, and [BASS] key to select the desired drum kit or bass program. (The LED of the selected key lights up.) Pressing the [DRUM A] or [DRUM B] selects drum kit A or B. Pressing the [BASS] key selects the bass program. In this example, let's use drum kit A.
STEP3 Tap one of the pads.
The LED of the pad lights up briefly and the sound assigned in the drum kit to that pad is heard. The volume changes according to how strongly you tap the pad.
When the [BASS] key is pressed in step 1, a bass program can be
HINT played, but there is a difference in how the pads operate. With a drum kit, the sound plays through even if the pad is released immediately. With a bass program, the sound continues only as
STEP4 Tap a pad while holding the [REPEAT/STEP] key down.
The sound will be produced continuously for as long as the pad is pressed. The repetition speed depends on the tempo.
HINT You can adjust the interval for repeated play. See the "Quantize" section on page 46.

Only kits and programs from the user pattern area can be NOTE changed. Kits and programs from the preset pattern area cannot
be changed.

Playing the Patterns (Pattern Mode)
This section describes how to play patterns that are built into the RT-123 or that have been recorded by the user.
Pattern play
The RT-123 incorporates 297 preset patterns (A01 - A99, B01 - B99, C01 - C99) which cannot be changed by the user, as well as 99 user-definable patterns (U01 - U99). (The unit is shipped with the user patterns blank.) This section describes how to select and play a pattern.

BASS MUTE
• Also while the bass track is muted, you can play bass programs
HINT manually with the pads. To do this, press the [BASS] key so that 
the LED of the key is lit.
• The bass track can be muted also while the pattern is stopped.
STEP5 Press the [STOP/EXIT] key when you want to stop the pattern.
Pressing the [PLAY] key instead of the [STOP/EXIT] key sets the |

unit to pause mode. The [PLAY] key LED flashes. Pressing the |

While a pattern is paused or playing, the [TEMPO] key can be TEMPO tapped twice to input a quarter note interval. When creating a

Recording) Time-(Real Recording Pattern
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.
Real-time recording of a drum track
Real-time recording refers to the process of playing the pads while listening to a metronome sound and recording what you play. First, let's record drum tracks in real time.

STEP2 Press the [FUNCTION] key and then pad 6 (QUANTIZE).
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.

The [FUNCTION] key is used to make various settings for the RT-123. |
