Zoom MRT-3B - Micro Rhythm Trak

A total of 396 presets (99 x 4 banks) offer an incredible array of patterns and styles, including intros, fill-ins and endings. By modifying these patterns, or by recording a new pattern, you can create up to 99 of your own user patterns. You can then combine any of the total 495 patterns and construct up to 99 different songs.
199 Sound Sources, 50 Preset Drum Kits and 20 User
Zoom has the most authentic drum sounds in the industry. The MRT-3B comes with 199 of the most realistic drum sounds you'll ever hear from a drum machine. 50 preset drum kits are programmed in, consisting of 14 sound sources (7 pads x 2 banks), to support various applications and music genres. Furthermore, you can create 20 of your own drum kits by combining any available drum sounds, and then setting the tuning, level, and pan.
Built-in Mastering Kit
Recording with drum sounds this real will add a whole new dimension to your music. And when you are done, you can further enhance your work with the built-in Mastering Kit that simulates the equalizing and balancing done during professional mastering sessions.
User-Friendly Interface
Zoom engineers worked extremely hard to design a simple and easy-to-use interface. The MRT-3B features optimized key arrangements, transport keys that are common to the MRS Series, and a big, bright display. Great for beginners and professionals alike.
Illuminated Switches and Pads
The pads light up when active so that you can check the sound visually while you record. This function is convenient for checking complicated patterns. In addition, PLAY / STOP / REC switches and mode change switches are also illuminated, letting you see the current status at a glance.
Touch Sensitive Drum Pads
In the studio it's hard get the perfect drum mix. Getting the right mic placements, setting the EQ and effects takes time and money. By fully utilizing the touch sensitive pads on the MRT-3B, you can create complex drum sounds easily. Touch-sensitive pads allow you to control levels, and mixes in ways that even advanced DAW software can't.
MIDI IN Terminal
Since the MRT-3B is equipped with a MIDI IN terminal, synchronized play with a sequencer or a recorder that has a MIDI clock transmit function is possible. The MRT-3B also supports a Song Position Pointer, so it can be used as an external rhythm device for recorders that don't have integrated rhythm sections. In addition, the MRT-3B can be used as a drum sound generator by using a NOTE ON trigger.
Remote Controlled by Foot Switch
By connecting an optional FS-01 foot switch, you can use convenient functions such as start/stop, start/pause, trigger bass-drum, open/close high-hat, tap tempo, and mute.
Lightweight and Compact, With a 2-way Power Circuit
A 2-way power circuit is built in, allowing the use of either batteries or an AC adaptor. The MRT-3B is lightweight and compact, so that it can be taken anywhere. Use it at home, in the studio, or outdoors--any environment you like. And the MRT-3B will run continuously for over 15 hours on 4 AA alkaline batteries.
Optimized for Use with the Zoom MRS-4
By connecting the MIDI OUT on the Zoom MRS-4 Digital Recorder to the MIDI IN on the MRT-3B, and the stereo out on the MRT-3B to the AUX IN on the MRS-4, the two devices will work together as a completely integrated, single recording system. You can create drum patterns using the MRT-3B and then record your audio tracks on the MRS-4. Since there is no need to a record drum parts on the audio tracks, you can use the extra tracks on the MRS-4 for other instruments. Flexible arrangements are possible by changing the drum kit or substituting a pattern after recording.

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty
A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.
Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.
How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
- Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
- Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
- No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
- Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
- Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
- Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
- Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
- Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
- Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.
Purchasing additional years of coverage
Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.
If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:
- NEW products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- USED products: Starting at 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. Starting at 4% for each additional year.
- GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
- BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
