Zoom RhythmTrak 234, Operation Manual

Page: 15 / 70

This activates the pattern mode. The [PATTERN] key LED lights up.
During manual play, you use the [KIT/TRACK SELECT] keys to
select the desired drum kit or bass program. (The LED of the
selected key lights up.) Pressing the [DRUM A], [DRUM B], or
[DRUM C] key selects drum kit A - C. 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.

Press the [DRUM A] key of the [KIT/TRACK SELECT] keys.
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.
