Yamaha RY20 Manual Do Utilizador

Recording a User Pattern

A unique feature of the RY20 is its ability to create “combination”
patterns. A combination pattern is constructed by selecting tracks
from the preset and user patterns.

Select a section of the pattern. Press and hold the

[SECTION] button, then

press the Drum Pad button for the section you want to record. The
appropriate Section indicator lights up, for example, the “

INTRO

”

indicator.

Select a pattern from “

100

” to “

149

” to record into by rotating the Jog Dial

or by using the

[ +1 ] and [ –1 ] buttons. Start recording by pressing the

[RECORD] button.

The initial track selected is the “

” - bass drum - track. Notice the track

“ ” indicator is lit. You can change tracks by pressing the appropriate
Track Select/Mute button.

Select the bass drum track of another pattern by rotating the Jog Dial or
by using the

[ +1 ] and [ –1 ] buttons. Notice that the pattern number

changes under the “

COMB

” prompt.

Combination Patterns

NOTE

As you record your combination pattern, you can select other sections as you need.

NOTE

Although you are using other patterns, the combination pattern controls the time
signature and the number of measures. You can use patterns with different time
signatures (“

METER

”) and/or measure numbers. A shorter pattern will be padded

out by a number of repititions of itself and a longer pattern will be truncated. This
will not change the data in the original pattern.

You can also apply swing and groove to the combination pattern without affecting
the data in the original pattern. See page 46 for further details.
