Hard Reset Zoom RT-233 to Factory Default Condition
Last Updated on June 20, 2022 by Nick
The RT-223 is the only drum machine currently in the Zoom product line, and it’s one of the most basic models of drum machines still available. You can program a simple or sophisticated bass pattern to go along with any drum patterns you intend to use on the RT-223 Zoom drum machine. What you get with the RT-233 is 500 sounds, 70 built-in drum kits, 13 pads, and 440 rhythmic patterns. There are also five Human Voice “Beat Box” Percussion kits that are currently all the rage in Hip Hop. As an entry-level drum machine, this unit is a good starting point.
According to several user reviews of Zoom RT-233 drum machine, some users have praised it for the sounds are actually good; can run off battery power. But some users also have complained for the limited capabilities; small sound library; doesn’t come with a power adapter.

Warning! This procedure will return all of the settings to the values when the Zoom RT-233 was shipped from the factory.

The above reply does not address my similar problem.
The above “hard reset” is the ONLY way to make my RT223 work. Every time I shut it off, and attempt a later restart, it goes into the locked-up display of “ZOOM”, and won’t work until I perform a reset.
This means I am not able to create songs or my own patterns, as they will be lost every time I restart the machine.
What can I do to get the volatile memory to stay in place, and effect a turn-on that avoids the need for a hard re-set?
you need to replace the internal battery
THANK YOU. RIGHT TO THE POINT. ON THE MONEY , IT WORKED
