Yamaha RY20 Manual Do Utilizador

Modifying the Drum Kits

You can assign individual voices to a group. This function is similar to
turning polyphony off, except in this case the effect is used with
interacting voices. For example, you can use the alternate group to
create a more realistic effect with the various hi-hat voices in your kit.

Select the Alternate Group display page by pressing the

[PAGE+] or [PAGE–]

buttons. The display reads “

ALTER

” and the current group flashes.

Press the pad you want to modify after selecting the Pad Bank.

Select a group by rotating the Jog Dial or by using the

[ +1 ] and [ –1 ]

buttons.

You have seven groups to choose from. The range is “

OFF

” or from “

” to

“

”. Pressing the

[ +1 ] and [ –1 ] buttons simultaneously resets the setting

to “

OFF

”.

You can use the

[ < ] and [ > ] cursor buttons to access the “

ALTER

”,

“

DRUM KIT

” and “

PAD

” settings.

NOTE

In a real drum set, you would never hear the sound of a closed hi-hat at the same
time as an open hi-hat. If you assign both of these instruments to one of the
available alternate groups, the closed and open hi-hat sounds will not sound
together, even if you play the pads at the same time. This means you can play the
open hi-hat, then “close” the hi-hat by playing the closed hi-hat pad.

The RY20 has individual voices for each hi-hat sound. To achieve a realistic effect,
group the three hi-hat pads together into an alternate group.
