Zoom RT-123 User Manual

The [REC] key LED and [PLAY] key LED light up, indicating that the
RT-123 is ready for recording.

The [REC] key LED goes out, and step recording ends.

For example, tapping the [KICK] pad will enter a bass drum note
(the [KICK] pad LED flashes briefly). The current position of the
pattern then advances by one unit. The tapping intensity will of
course also be recorded.
When the end of the pattern is reached, the recording loops back
to the beginning and continues, allowing you to add to the
recording as often as desired.

As you move the position with the [REPEAT/STEP] key, the LED of
a pad that has been input for the current position lights up.
Pressing the pad while holding the [DELETE/ERASE] key down
causes the LED to go out and the sound will be erased.

To record drum track B, repeat steps 3 - 8.

If step 4 is carried out without pressing the [FUNCTION] key, the
quantize value of the pattern already recorded in that track will
also be changed. For example, if step recording was carried out
with sixteenth notes and the quantize value was then changed to
quarter notes, the pattern already recorded will also be changed to
quarter notes if the [REC] key is pushed without pressing the
[FUNCTION] key.

NOTE

During step recording, erasing the entire track is not possible.
