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 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.

(Guipiosey days) Buipiooek uioyed l Pattern Recording (Step Recording) This section describes step recording, which is another recording type that is possible with the RT-123. What is step rec g Step recording allows you to enter and record each sound separately, step by step, while the RT-123 is in the stop condition. Even without mastering how to play the pads in real time, you can easily create complex drum and bass patterns. And you don't need to stop there, because you can even create patterns that would be impossible to play in real time. For step recording of a drum track, you select the shortest note that is to be used as unit, and you create the pattern by pressing a pad (note) or the [REPEAT/STEP] key (rest) for each step. For example, to create the following bass drum pattern with step recording, select an eighth note as smallest unit and make the entry as follows: bass drum

By pushing 2 pads at the same time, you can enter 2 sounds in the same position. For step recording of a bass track, the procedure is slightly different, because unlike for the drum track, the pitch and duration of the sound must be specified. The fact that tapping a pad gives the shortest-unit note and pushing the [REPEAT/STEP] key gives the shortest-unit rest is the same. The pitch is determined by which pad you push. The length is determined by holding down the pad and down and pressing the [REPEAT/STEP] key multiple times. Each push of the [REPEAT/STEP] key increases the duration of the sound by the shortest unit note. For example, to enter the following bass phrase, select an eighth note as smallest unit and make the entry as follows: DE N Hg = È DD D D DD + [A2] lIA2 (E2 Hold down CV CV Hold down

Creating Songs (Song Mode) This section describes how to line up user patterns in a desired order to create the backing for an entire song. This mode of operation is called the song mode. À song is a sequence of user patterns (preset pattems cannot be used). A song consists of multiple slots (called "steps") each of which contains one pattem. The maximum length of a song is 99 steps. The maximum number of songs that can be stored in the RT-123 is 99. (The actual number of available steps and songs will depend on the number of distinct sounds used for user patterns and other songs.) In song mode, you can change also the tempo and volume during a song.
