Creating Songs (Song Mode)
ZOOM RT-223 39
Pads 0 - 9
Serve to specify pattern numbers
and repetition times, according to
the pad numbers 0 - 9.
Pad [+]
Enters "+" (plus symbol)
for lining up multiple patterns.
Pad [()]
Enters opening and closing
brackets used for linking several
patterns. One push of the pad
enters a "(" and the second push
enters a ")".
Pad [x]
Enters "x"
(multiplication symbol)
for repeated play of
the same pattern.
4.
To switch the pattern, hit the next
pad during the last measure before
the intended switch.
The pattern assigned to the pad goes into standby,
and the pattern is switched at the start of the next
measure. The pad that is in standby mode flashes.
NOTE
If you hit a pad whose NEXT parameter ( →
p. 38) is set to “F00 - F12”, the pattern will
be switched not at the measure boundary
but at the beat boundary.
5.
Enter the remaining patterns in the
same way as described for step 4.
6.
To terminate song real-time input,
press the STOP [ P ] key.
The REC [ O ] key and PLAY [ R ] key go out, and
song real-time input is completed.
HINT
• To assign an ending pattern to a pad, set
the NEXT parameter to “StP”, so that
real-time input will automatically be
stopped.
• A song created with real-time input can
later be edited with step input.
Creating a song using
FAST input
The FAST (Formula Assisted Song Translator)
method developed by ZOOM uses simple
formulas to specify patterns for an entire song,
which is then written in a single operation.
The formula symbols are entered using the 13
pads. The function of each pad during FAST input
is shown in the illustration below.
