To stop the demo
Press the [PATTERN] key or [SONG] key.
Drum kits and bass programs
The backup sound provided by the RT-223 consists of a drum kit and a bass program. A drum kit is a collection of drum sounds including bass drum, snares, and tomtom, percussion sounds such as congas and bongos, and various other effect sounds. These are combined to create backing tracks for a wide range of music genres. The RT-223 comes with 127 drum kits of which 70 are preprogrammed. You can also create your own original drum kits. A bass program is a bass sound such as electric bass, acoustic bass, or synthesizer bass. 12 types of bass programs are available, of which one can be selected for playback.
When [PATTERN] key is pressed RT-223 switches to pattern mode (for playing and recording patterns).
When [SONG] key is pressed RT-223 switches to song mode (for creating backing songs which are sequences of patterns).
Quick Guide 2 Playing the Pads

You can check the current position in the pattern on the display (measure/ beat). HINT
The REC [ O ] key goes out, and step input is completed.
Editing a Pattern
This section explains how to edit patterns.
Copying a pattern/ Returning a pattern to the factory default condition
You can copy the currently selected pattern to another position. This is useful to change only a part of a pattern, such as changing the bass track phrasing while keeping the drum track. Patterns that were preprogrammed at the factory (patterns 0 - 439) can be returned to their original condition by the copy process described below. NOTE
When the copy is executed, the existing contents of the pattern selected as copy target will be erased. Use this function with care.

Creating Songs (Song Mode)
This section explains what a song in the RT-223 is and how to create songs.
What is a song?
A song in terms of the RT-223 is a sequence of patterns (a number of measures of drum track and bass track) lined up in play order, to provide the backing for an entire musical piece (see illustration below). The maximum number of songs that can be stored in the RT-223 is 100. A song can be input in three different ways. Step input With this method, you start at the beginning of the song and proceed in discrete steps, specifying the pattern to play and the number of measures for each step. This method is suitable for detailed, manual work on a song. Real-time input With this method, you first assign the patterns to the pads and then play the patterns in real time. This method is suitable for quick and intuitive input of a song.
which input method was used. After creating a song with FAST input or real-time input, you can still ne-tune it with step input. Besides pattern information, a song also contains so-called event data (tempo, beat, volume and other information, see page 42). Use step input to enter event information.
Creating a song using step input
This section explains how to create a song by lining up patterns one by one.
If the formula exceeds seven digits, earlier character/symbol entries are scrolled off the display. To see the scrolled part, use the cursor left/right keys to move the display position.
PATTERN 1 PATTERN 2 PATTERN 3
An example for creating the rhythm pattern sequence 0 + (1 + 2) x 3 is shown below.
The FAST method can only be used to write a song in one go, from beginning to end. Entering patterns partly into the song is not possible. To edit a song that was written with this method, edit the formula and then write the entire song again, or use step input.
3. Use the pads to enter a formula.
The input method is explained on page 40.
If you make a mistake during input, you can correct it as follows. Deleting a number/symbol Use the cursor left/right keys to move the flashing segment to the number/symbol to delete, and press the [DELETE/ERASE] key. Inserting a number/symbol Use the cursor left/right keys to move the flashing segment to the point where you want to insert a number or symbol, and input the new number/symbol.
If you select an existing song and write it out using FAST input, the entire previous content of the song will be overwritten. Use this function with care.
the REC [O] key.
4. When formula input is completed,
press the [FUNCTION] key.
The song is written and FAST input terminates. NOTE
The indication FAST appears briefly on the display. Then an underline cursor appears at the first character position. FAST input is now possible.
If the entered formula contains a syntax error, the indication SYTXERR appears on the display when you press the [FUNCTION] key. After a while, the formula input screen appears again. Correct the wrong part, and perform the write operation again.
including pattern information is input, the EVENT indication is shown (see illustration below).
Entering event information
Besides pattern information, you can enter various other information (called event data) for a song, such as tempo, beat, and volume. You can gradually fade out the volume or switch the sound of the drum kit or bass program at any point in the song. To add event data to a song for which patterns have already been input, use the step input method.
6. Use the VALUE [+]/[-] keys to adjust
7. Repeat steps 4 - 6 for the other
The numeric settings 0 - 7 determine the group of a pad (0: no group, 1 - 7: group 1 - 7). The sounds of pads that are in the same group will not be produced together. By assigning the pads for open hi-hat and closed hi-hat to the same group, the open hi-hat sound will be suppressed when you activate the closed hi-hat sound, resulting in a natural effect. The group number 0 - 7 applies both to PL and MN. Therefore pads PL1 and MN1 will not produce sound together. SENDLVL (Send level) Sets the signal level to be supplied to the REVERB effect. The setting range is 0 - 100. This setting is made separately for each pad and is independent of the overall drum kit send level setting ( p. 56) made in effect mode. To control effect intensity for each pad individually, it may be best to set the effect mode send level to 0 and adjust the SENDLVL parameter for the pads. NOTE
If the KICKDRY parameter in the patch currently selected for the REVERB effect is ON, changing the send level of a pad to

Setting the playback timing shift (SHIFT)
Setting range: -192 to +192 (Default: 0) Shifts the playback timing of a specific track in the currently selected pattern back or forth in 1-tick units (1/96 of a quarter note). The maximum shift is 2 beats. NOTE
Once the setting is made, it cannot be undone. Use this function with care. When you shift the playback timing of a track, the preceding or following notes are deleted.
Displaying the remaining amount of memory (PATTERN)
Pressing the [FUNCTION] key followed by the [PATTERN] key brings up a percentage display of the remaining amount of memory. This display is for information only, it cannot be changed.
This section describes examples for combining the RT-223 with optional equipment and external components. With each subsequent push of the foot switch, patterns are switched between pad 4 and pad 8.If you hold down the foot switch during play, the pattern switches to pad [()] (see illustration 1 below). By specifying the NEXT parameter ( p. 38) for the above pads, you can use other pattern combinations or stop play after a specific pattern. For example, assume that INTRO is assigned to pad 0 and VERSE A to pad 2.When you set the NEXT parameter for pad 0 to P02, pressing the foot switch will cause INTRO to play, followed by VERSE A (see illustration 2 below). Similarly, if FILL A is assigned to pad 4 and VERSE B to pad 6, setting the NEXT parameter for pad 4 to F06 will cause FILL A to play from the next beat after pressing the foot switch, and then play can be switched to VERSE B (see illustration 3 below).
Using the jam function
The jam function lets you use the foot switch to play multiple patterns assigned to pads in song mode. This is convenient when you want to use your hands for playing an instrument, while still being able to start patterns and switch them at any desired point. NOTE
The jam function is available only when the RT-223 is in song mode.
The following four pads can be directly controlled with the jam function: pad 0, pad 4, pad 8, and pad [()]. When you press the foot switch while the RT-223 is stopped, the pattern of pad 0 begins playing.

Quickly create original songs with FAST method
You can combine any number of drum patterns in any order to create a song. In addition to step input where you select patterns one by one, the RT-223 also offers the innovative FAST (Formula Assisted Song Translator) method. With FAST, you use simple mathematical symbols such as +, , (, and ) to specify the pattern lineup. This is especially useful for songs with repeated patterns. To play pattern number 12 eight times and then pattern 25 sixteen times, you simply enter "12 x 8 + 25 x 16". By enclosing this in brackets and adding a multiplication factor such as "( ) x 4", the entire sequence can be repeated. The RT-223 lets you store as many as 100 songs for automated backing.
Groove play mode lets you play patterns like a DJ
Assigning patterns to pads allows you to trigger patterns simply by tapping the pads. This is great for live performances and for DJ use.
Create your own drum kits
A drum kit consists of 13 pads x 3 banks = 39 sounds. Sound sources can be freely selected and assigned to the pads. Fine-tune parameters such as pitch, level, and panning to create your own original drum kits. The RT-223 lets you store up to 127 user-programmed kits.
User-friendly design for simple operation
The RT-223 is a dedicated rhythm machine designed to make rhythm programming truly easy. You can take the shortest possible route from idea to finished song. No need to boot up a PC and start DAW software, or laboriously read sound source data into a sampler. Most controls on the top panel of the RT-223 have only a single function, and there are no complicated multi-level menus. The backlit LCD shows all important information at a glance.
Twelve built-in bass sound sources
Choose from electric bass styles such as Pick, Finger, and Slap. Or select Acoustic Bass, Synthesizer Bass, or one of the other bass sources, 12 in total. To create a bass line, you can play the pads with assigned chromatic pitches just like a keyboard. A dedicated switch quickly lets you mute the bass sound at any time.
Total control with a foot switch
Intro, pattern 1, fill-in, pattern 2,. ending. Imagine controlling such a sequence just with a foot switch. With a Zoom FS01 Foot Switch (sold separately) you can rock out live, triggering patterns with your foot. You can also use the switch to start or stop a pattern, perform tap input to specify the tempo, trigger the bass drum sounds, switch between hi-hat open/close, and much more.
Two types of effects to control EQ and Ambience
The overall EQ and tonal quality of a drum kit can be adjusted with the COMP EQ effect. The REVERB effects can be used simultaneously. These effects can also be applied to bass sounds. Up to 40 settings for each effect can be stored as patches.
[COMP EQ effect]
The RT-223 incorporates a multi-band compressor with independent settings for each frequency band. By applying the effect to just the right frequency range, you can tighten up the kick drum, give snares and tom-tom more body, or perform other mastering tricks to spruce up the sound of a drum kit. A resonance filter and Low-Fi effect great for dance music are also built-in.
Metronome function for simple repeat practice
The built-in metronome with its dedicated key is handy for simple repeat practice. In addition to the standard 2 - 8 beat, you can also use 6/8 beat, 7/ 8 beat, 2+3 beat, 3+4 beat and other mixed beat settings.
MIDI IN connector and external line input
The MIDI IN connector allows synchronized play with an external device. By receiving note messages, the RT-223 can serve as drum sound source module in a MIDI-based system. The line input accepts the signal from a CD player or other line-level source, or from a guitar or bass via an effect. Seamlessly integrate the RT-223 into any session.
Four different kinds of reverb (Hall, Room, Spring, Plate) and Chorus, Flanger, and Delay are included. The effect send level can be set for each sound source individually. For example, you could apply Gate Reverb to the snare sound only, or place the entire drum kit in a hall. Flanger and Delay can be synchronized to the tempo in measure or beat units. Create Flanger with 4measure modulation or a dotted eighth note Delay. Make your club music explode with novel sounds.
2-way power from size AA batteries or AC adaptor
The unit will operate continuously for eight hours on a set of four IEC R6 (size AA) batteries. Whether on stage or during rehearsals in the studio, the RT-223 is always ready. For extended studio work, an AC adaptor can also be used.
