Zoom RhythmTrak 234, Operation Manual

Page: 33 / 70

The bass track is selected.
For details on the quantize value, please refer to page 28.
The [REC] key LED and [START] key LED light up, indicating that
the RhythmTrak
•••
234 is ready for recording.
For step recording of the bass track, you perform one of three
actions:
• Enter the minimum unit note: Briefly tap the pad and release it. A
note of the selected minimum duration and the pitch assigned to
that pad is entered, and the position proceeds to the next step.
• Enter the minimum unit rest: Briefly tap the [REPEAT/STEP] key
and release it. A rest of the selected minimum duration is
entered, and the position proceeds to the next step.

Now let's add a bass track to the drum tracks recorded as described in the previous section. Because pitch
and duration must be specified for the bass track, the procedure is slightly different from step recording
of the drum track.

STEP
1
Press the [BASS] key of the [KIT/TRACK SELECT] keys.
STEP
2
Use the [BASS] key and the [VALUE UP/DOWN] keys to select a kit.
STEP
3
Press the [FUNCTION] key and then pad 6 (QUANTIZE).
STEP
4
Use the [VALUE UP/DOWN] keys or the [SOUND JAMMER] slider to set the
quantize value (smallest unit for recording). Then press the [FUNCTION] key again.
If step 4 is carried out without pressing the [FUNCTION] key, the
quantize value of the pattern already recorded in that track will
also be changed. For example, if step recording of a bass track
was carried out with sixteenth notes and the quantize value was
then changed to quarter notes, the pattern already recorded will
also be changed to quarter notes if the [REC] key is pushed
without pressing the [FUNCTION] key.
