RT223(E).fm 34 ページ２００５年５月２６日木曜日午後１２時３分 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.

For example, entering 0 + 1 + 2 will result in the following rhythm pattern play sequence. 0+_ 0+( PATTERN 0 PATTERN 1 PATTERN 2 • Repeat patterns Use the “x” (multiplication) symbol to specify pattern repetitions. As in normal arithmetic, “x” takes precedence over “+”.

Using Effects (Effect Mode) This section explains the effects that can be used with the drum kit/bass program. About the effects The RT-223 incorporates two types of effects. The COMP EQ effect allows you to directly shape the overall sound of the drum kit/bass program. The REVERB effect is mixed to the original sound of the drum kit/bass program. These two types of effect can be used simultaneously and can be switched individually on and off. The characteristics of each effect type are described below.
