Zoom RT-123 - Manual (Page 18)

The RT-123 switches to pattern mode and the number of the
currently selected pattern is shown on the display. A01 - A99, B01 -
B99, C01 - C99 indicates a preset pattern, and U01 - U99 a user
pattern. If an empty user pattern was selected, the display shows
"E" (Empty).
In pattern mode, the [VALUE +/-] keys serve to switch the pattern.
The [PLAY] key LED lights up, and the pattern is played repeatedly.
The [TEMPO] key LED flashes according to the tempo of the
pattern. The display shows the current position in the pattern
(measure/beat).
The LED of the key lights up and only the drum tracks A/B are
heard. To turn the bass track back on, press the [BASS MUTE] key
once more.
Pressing the [PLAY] key instead of the [STOP/EXIT] key sets the
unit to pause mode. The [PLAY] key LED flashes. Pressing the
[PLAY] key again in this condition resumes playback from the point
where it was paused.
