Playing a Pattern
The RT-123 already contains many preprogrammed patterns (backing sequence
of several bars). Each pattern combines up to two drum kits and a bass
program. Here's how you can play a pattern.
Turn the power on.
Press the [PATTERN] key.
The [PATTERN] key LED lights up
and the RT-123 is in pattern mode.
The display shows the currently
selected bank and pattern number.
There are four banks, each with 99
patterns (01 - 99), resulting in a total
of 396 patterns.
• Banks A - C: Read-only patterns
(preset patterns)
• Bank U: Read/write patterns
(user patterns)
In the factory default condition, the
user patterns are empty.
Press the [PLAY ] key ( ) .
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.
