Parameter
Drum sound
name
• INST
Selects the drum sound to be assigned to the pad from the 377 sounds incorporated in the RT-323.
The setting range is 0 - 376.
• PITCH
Fine-adjusts the pitch of the drum sound assigned to the pad. The setting range is -7.9 - 0
(reference pitch) - 7.9, in 0.1 (1/10 semitone) steps.
• PAN MODIFY
Adjusts the left/right position of the pad sound, as determined by the signal balance at the [L/MONO
/ R OUT] jack. The setting range is -7 - 0 - 7. The amount of change depends on the sound.
The PAN setting does not affect the signal at the [SUB OUT 1]/[SUB OUT 2] jack.
• INST LEVEL
Adjusts the volume for each pad over the range of 1 - 15.
• OUTPUT MAIN
Adjusts the drum sound level at the [L/MONO / R OUT] jacks over the range of 0 - 15.
• OUTPUT SUB 1
Adjusts the drum sound level at the [SUB OUT 1] jack over the range of 0 - 15.
• OUTPUT SUB 2
Adjusts the drum sound level at the [SUB OUT 2] jack over the range of 0 - 15.

Setting value
When wanting to retrieve the bass drum or snare drum sound separately from the [SUB
OUT 1] jack, set the OUTPUT MAIN parameter for the respective pad to zero, and increase
the value of the OUTPUT SUB 1 parameter.
• GROUP
Determines the sound pattern when a pad is hit in succession (POLY = sound overlaps, MONO =
sound does not overlap), and the group to which the pad belongs (0 = no group, 1 - 7 = pad
belongs to specified group). Pads belonging to the same group 1 - 7 will not produce sound
together.
• For example, by assigning two pads for open hi-hat and close hi-hat to the same group,
the open hi-hat sound will be suppressed when you activate the close hi-hat sound,
resulting in a natural effect.
• The group number applies both to POLY/MONO.
Use the [L]/[M] keys or the [VALUE] dial to change the setting value.

Repeat steps 3 - 5 as required to edit other pads.

When editing is completed, press the [EXIT] key.

The edited contents are automatically stored, and the unit returns to step 2. To return to the
pattern/song mode, press the [PATTERN]/[SONG] key.

Copying a pad setting
Within the user drum kits, you can copy the settings for one pad to another. This is useful for
example if you wish to create multiple patterns with very similar settings such as close hi-hat, pedal
hi-hat, open hi-hat, and so on.
In pattern mode, press the [DRUM A] key (or [DRUM B] key), and then press the
1
[KIT] key.
Use the [L]/[M] keys or the [VALUE] dial to select the desired user drum kit (64 -
2
127), and press the [PAD FUNCTION] key.
Press the [EDIT] key, and hit the pad to be used as copy source.

The copy source pad is selected.
