ZOOM RT-223

Introduction

Thank you for selecting the

ZOOM RhythmTrak RT-223

(hereafter simply called the “

RT-223

”).

The RT-223 is a sophisticated product with the following features.

• Highly compact drum/bass machine

The RT-223 is small enough to fit in the pocket of

a guitar case. But it has enough muscle to play a

full rhythm accompaniment with super realistic

drum and bass sounds. You can use it as a

personal metronome during practice, or as your

rhythm section during a live performance and

when making a demo tape.

• Perfectly simple operation

Even if you have never used a drum machine or

sequencer before, you will feel comfortable with

the RT-223 right away.

•Great selection of preset patterns

The RT-223 can store 511 different patterns

(including patterns that you have created

yourself). Out of the box, it comes with a wide

choice of representative patterns that will you get

started in no time.

•Program the accompaniment to an

entire song

You can line up multiple patterns in the intended

order to create the rhythm accompaniment for a

full song. Besides step input, where you specify

elements such as pattern number, volume, and

tempo one by one, the RT-223 also supports the

innovative FAST input method developed by

ZOOM.

•Groove play mode lets you play patterns

like a DJ

Assigning patterns to the pads on the top panel

lets you change patterns simply by tapping the

pads. Great for live performances and for DJ use.

•Create your original kits

The RT-223 comes with built-in drum kits and

bass programs for a variety of musical genres.

What’s more, you can create your own drum kits

by combining drum sounds at will.

•Two types of effects

The drum kit/bass program sound can be

processed by two kinds of effects (COMP EQ and

REVERB). The REVERB effect allows adjusting

the effect depth for each drum sound individually.

• Jam function for selecting patterns with

a foot switch

Connect a foot switch to have even more control

over play start/stop and switching patterns. While

playing your instrument, you can set fill-ins or

breaks or return to the main theme after

improvising for any length. This is great for those

lively jam sessions.

• Built-in metronome function

The metronome is convenient for scale practice or

rhythm practice. In addition to the standard beat,

you can also use mixed beat settings such as

5-beat and 7-beat.

• Input jack for connecting an external

sound source

Connect an instrument processed with a multi-

effect such as the ZOOM GFX-1 and mix it with

the RT-223 signal to produce impressive

sounding output.

• Control various functions with a foot

switch

A connected foot switch can be used to start/stop

a pattern or change the tempo while keeping your

hands free. Alternatively, push the foot switch

down to kick a virtual bass drum, or switch

between hi-hat open/close.

• Compatible with MIDI synchronization

The MIDI IN connector allows an external MIDI

keyboard or other device to play the sounds of the

RT-223. It is also possible to synchronize the

RT-223 to the MIDI clock from a MIDI

sequencer.

Please take the time to read this manual carefully

so as to get the most out of your RT-223 and to

ensure optimum performance and reliability.

Retain this manual, the warranty card and all

other documentation for future reference.
