Pattern Recording (Real-Time Recording); Deleting An Unnecessary Pattern - Zoom RhythmTrak 234 Operation Manual

Pattern Recording
The RhythmTrak 234 has 99 user pattern slots which can be filled with your own patterns. Creating and
•••
recording a pattern is possible in two ways: by actually playing the pattern on the pads (real-time
recording), or by entering each sound individually (step recording). The procedure for real-time recording
of a drum track and bass track is described below.

Deleting an unnecessary pattern

As shipped from the factory, the user patterns 01 - 99 of the RhythmTrak
as the preset patterns P01 - P99. Therefore you must first delete a pattern if you wish to write your own
pattern to a user pattern slot. This is done as follows.

STEP In pattern mode, select the user pattern (01 - 99) you want to erase.
After erasing a pattern, the unit remembers the drum kit and bass
program type and other values, until the pattern is changed.
Therefore we recommend that you choose a pattern whose image
resembles the new one you want to create.
NOTE
The preset patterns (P01 - P99) cannot be erased.

be able to restore it. Make sure that you really want to erase the

patterns to the factory default condition, please refer to page 52.
