The pads on the top panel of the MRT-3 each produce a different sound when hit. The sound depends on the currently selected kit and pad bank. Try hitting the pads to hear the realistic sounds of the MRT-3.
1. Press the [PATTERN] key.
The [PATTERN] key lights up and the MRT-3 goes into pattern mode (in which rhythm pattern playback and recording can be carried out).
2. Hit any pad.
The pad lights up briefly, and the sound assigned to it is played. The volume of the sound depends on the intensity with which the pad is hit.
3. To switch the bank, press the [PAD BANK] key so that the key lights up.
The key lights up, and the sound assigned to pads 1 – 7 changes. To return to the earlier sound, press the [PAD BANK] key once more. When the [PAD BANK] key is out, bank A is selected. When the key is lit, bank B is selected.
4. To switch the kit played by the pads, press the [KIT] key.
The [KIT] key lights up, and the MRT-3 goes into kit mode. In this mode, you select the kit for playing the pads and patterns. The display shows the currently selected kit number. The kit can only be changed for a user pattern, not for a preset pattern.
5. Use the [VALUE +/-] keys to select a kit number.
The kit numbers are switched in the order 01P – 50P, 51U – 70U. Try hitting the pads and switching the pad bank to check out which sounds are available in the newly selected kit.
6. When you have found the desired kit, press the [PATTERN] key to return to the pattern mode.
