CHANGING A PATTERN - After recording a song, you can go back and change 
a pattern at any time. First, in Song Record Mode, locate the measure of the 
pattern you want to change, by pressing [FWD] and [BWD]. Next, select the 
new pattern by pressing [-1] and [+1].
CHANGING A BACKING - As you record song parts by selecting and entering 
patterns, the backings which are assigned to the various patterns will also be 
recorded in the song. Although you cannot change a backing in Song Record 
Mode, there is in fact an easy way to change the backing. First, enter Pattern 
Mode and access the pattern Copy function and copy the pattern to a User 
pattern location. Next, assign the different backing to it (see “ASSIGNING A 
BACKING TO A USER PATTERN”, page 34). Then, return to Song Record 
Mode and follow the procedure outlined above in “CHANGING A PATTERN”.
EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM NOTE POLYPHONY - The RY8 has 28-note 
polyphony, which means the maximum number of notes that can sound at 
one time is 28. Depending on the song you have created, several drum beats 
may fall on a specific location where many bass and chord notes exist. Any 
drum beats that would exceed the 28-note capacity will be “truncated”, or cut 
off, or will not play.
Turning the power off while Song Record Mode is active, or while the song Copy or Clear function
is being executed, may cause the irretrievable loss of all User data.
The pattern and chord tracks are independent! You can only insert a chord by part, and not event.
When inserting a chord, the succeeding parts will be moved back by one part. Therefore, take care
that your chord insertions don’t alter your song structure in relation to the pattern track.
EXITING CHORD ASSIGN - To exit the Chord Assign feature, press 
[CHORD] again.
If you attempt to enter a chord change and the message “PART EMPTY” appears in the LCD, this
means that there is no pattern data in the track.
