Zoom RT-123 - Manual (Page 16)

This activates the pattern mode. The [PATTERN] key LED lights up.
During manual play, you use the [DRUM A] key, [DRUM B] key, and
[BASS] key to select the desired drum kit or bass program. (The
LED of the selected key lights up.) Pressing the [DRUM A] or
[DRUM B] selects drum kit A or B. Pressing the [BASS] key selects
the bass program. In this example, let's use drum kit A.
The LED of the pad lights up briefly and the sound assigned in the
drum kit to that pad is heard. The volume changes according to
how strongly you tap the pad.
The sound will be produced continuously for as long as the pad is
pressed. The repetition speed depends on the tempo.

The RT-123 lets you not only play back existing patterns and songs, it also allows you to manually play
the unit by tapping the pads. This section describes how to manually play the unit.
The RT-123 assigns various sounds to the pads, depending on the currently selected drum kit. Play the
pads to discover the realistic sounds offered by the RT-123.
STEP
1
Press the [PATTERN] key.
STEP
2
Press the [DRUM A] key.
When the [BASS] key is pressed in step 1, a bass program can be
played, but there is a difference in how the pads operate. With a
drum kit, the sound plays through even if the pad is released
immediately. With a bass program, the sound continues only as
long as the pad is pressed.
