When connections are complete, set the volume as follo ws. 1. While the playback system is still turned off and the volume is fully turned down, double-check whether all connections have been made correctly .
This section explains some important concepts of the MR T -3. ■ Pattern Playing a rhythm using sounds stored in the MR T -3 is called playing a pattern. The information stored in a pattern includes data such as pattern length, beat, and which kit (combination of drum/percussion sounds) is used.
■ Kit The MR T -3 lets you select 14 sounds from the built-in drum and percussion sources to use for playing with the pads. A combination of such sounds, together with pad sensitivity information and lev el/tuning information for each pad is called a kit.
The MR T -3 comes with a demo song already built in. Listen to this song to hear for yourself what the MR T -3 can do. 1. Press the [FUNCTION] key . The [FUNCTION] key flashes. 2. Press the [SONG] key . The indication "dEMo" appears on the display and the demo song starts.
The pads on the top panel of the MR T -3 each produce a dif ferent sound when hit. The sound depends on the currently selected kit and pad bank. T ry hitting the pads to hear the realistic sounds of the MR T -3.
5. Use the [V ALUE +/-] keys to select a kit number . The kit numbers are switched in the order 01P – 50P , 51U – 70U. T ry hitting the pads and switching the pad bank to check out which sounds are av ailable in the newly selected kit. 6. When you have found the desired kit, pr ess the [P A TTERN] key to return to the pattern mode.
This section shows ho w to play and record patterns of the MR T -3 in pattern mode. Playing a Pattern The MR T -3 has 396 read-only preset patterns (A01 – D99) and 99 read/write user patterns (U01 – U99). T o select and play a pattern, proceed as follo ws.
4. Press the [PLA Y] key . The [PLA Y] key lights up and the pattern is played repeatedly . During playback, the [TEMPO] key flashes in sync with the tempo. The display sho ws the current position in the pattern (measure/beat). • While a pattern is playing, you can also manually play the pads.
3. When the tempo is as desired, r elease the [TEMPO] key . 4. To specify the tempo manually , tap the [TEMPO] key twice or more in the desired tempo (tap input function). If you tap the [TEMPO] key twice or more often while a pattern is playing or stopped, the tapping interval of the last tw o taps is taken as the quarter note tempo.
w ant to use for the pattern, recording can be carried out while automatically maintaining precise timing. 3. Use the [V ALUE +/-] keys to set the quantize value (shortest note to be recorded). The following settings are a vailable. The selected setting will be used as shortest note for real-time recording.
6. Adjust the tempo if necessary . The pattern tempo can be changed at any time. F or recording a diff icult phrase, it might be helpful to temporarily reduce the tempo. 7. T ap the pads in accordance with the metr onome sound. The sound of the respectiv e pad is heard, and it is recorded for the duration set with the quantize value.
Pattern Step Recording This section describes step recording, which allows you to enter and record each sound separately , step by step, while the MR T -3 is in the stop condition. Even without mastering ho w to play the pads in real time, you can easily create complex drum and bass patterns.
5. Press the [REC] key . The [REC] key and [ST AR T] key light up, indicating that the MR T -3 is ready for recording. 6. To enter a note, hit the pad corresponding to the desired sound. F or example, tapping pad 1 will enter a bass drum note (pad 1 lights up).
Changing User Pattern Resolution After Recording The resolution that is recorded together with the play information of a user pattern can be changed later . For example, when a user pattern was recorded without quantization, it can be later set to a sixteenth note for dynamic matching.
3. Use the [V ALUE +/-] keys to set the new bar length. The bar length (number of measures) can be set in the range from 1 – 99. 4. Press the [FUNCTION] key . The pattern length is changed. When a recorded pattern was made shorter , the excess measures at the end of the pattern will be cut off.
4. Press the [FUNCTION] key . The pattern beat is changed. Copying a Pattern The currently selected pattern (user pattern or preset pattern) can be copied to any other user pattern number . This is useful for example when wishing to change only a part of a pattern, or to add a fill-in phrase.
• When the copy is executed, the existing contents of the user pattern selected as copy target will be erased. Make sure that the pattern you have selected is one that you don't mind erasing. • When the copy source is a user pattern, the same pattern is first selected after step 2.
3. To execute the erase process, press the [DELETE/ERASE] key . T o cancel the process, pr ess the [STOP] key . When erasing is completed, the unit returns to the pattern mode with the empty user pattern being selected. If erasing was canceled, the unit returns to the pattern mode with the original user pattern being selected.
This section describes how you can edit a user kit and cop y any preset kit or user kit into another user kit. Editing a User Kit In kit mode, you can select a user kit and change parameters such as sound, lev el, and pitch assigned to each pad. 1. Press the [KIT] key .
■ Items for individual pads (instrument sound) • Pad 1 (P AD INST): ••••••• Select instrument sound for each pad • Pad 3 (INST TUNE): ••••• Adjust instrument sound pitch .
Kit Items This section describes the items that make up a kit, as well as their setting range. Pad 1: P AD INST Selects the instrument sound to be used for each pad. When this item is selected, a number for the general sound category and a number for each instrument sound is sho wn.
Pad 7: INST LEVEL Allows adjusting the le vel of an instrument sound assigned to a pad. Adjustment is possible over a range of 1 – 15. Pad 4: KIT LEVEL Allows adjusting the le vel of the entire kit. This adjustment is relativ e to the INST LEVEL setting.
Copying a Kit A kit of the MR T -3 (preset kit or user kit) can be copied to any other user kit number (51 – 70). This is useful for example when wishing to change only a part of a kit. 1. In kit mode, select the kit to be used as copy source. The copy source can be either a user kit or a preset kit.
4. To execute the copy process, press the [INSER T/COPY] key . When wishing to cancel the process, pr ess the [STOP] key . When copying is completed, the unit returns to the kit mode with the copy tar get kit being selected. If copying was canceled, the unit returns to the kit mode with the copy source kit being selected.
This section describes how to line up user patterns in a desired order to create an entire song. This mode of operation is called the song mode. What Is a Song? A song is a programmed sequence of preset patterns or user patterns that are played automatically .
Recording Song Patterns This section describes how you can collect a number of patterns into a song. 1. Press the [SONG] key . The MR T -3 goes into song mode, and the [SONG] ke y lights up. The display shows the currently selected song number . 2. Use the [V ALUE +/-] keys to select an empty song number .
5. To proceed to the next step, press the [REC] key . The last two digits of the display no w show the second step number , and the first two digits show "EE" which indicates the end of the song. In this condition, you can select the pattern for the second step.
10. When one song is completed, press the [STOP] key . The [REC] key LED goes out, and song recording stops. The song position returns to step 1. 11. To listen to the song, press the [PLA Y] key . The [PLA Y] key lights up and the song is played back.
• Also during playback of a song, you can use the pads for manual play . 13. To start playback from a point within a song, hold down the [SONG] key while pressing the [V ALUE +/-] keys.
4. Hold down the [TEMPO] key . While the [TEMPO] key is being pressed, the tempo change information for that step is shown on the display . If no tempo change information is stored for that step, the indication is "---". 5. While holding down the [TEMPO] key , use the [VALUE +/-] keys to set the tempo value (40 – 250).
4. Hold down the [FUNCTION] key . While the [FUNCTION] key is being pressed, the v olume change information for that step is shown on the display . If no volume information is stored for that step, the indication is "---". 5. While holding down the [FUNCTION] key , use the [VALUE +/-] keys to set the volume value (0 – 63).
