Yamaha RY9 Musical Instrument User Manual


 
USING THE RY9 AS A GUITAR SYNTHESIZER - When a guitar is plugged
into the [EXT IN] jack, you can use the guitar to trigger an External In voice
in a variety of ways. There are two steps to setting up the RY9 as a guitar
synthesizer:
1. Designating the guitar synthesizer status.
2. Selecting an external in voice (see below).
1. DESIGNATING THE EXTERNAL IN GUITAR SYNTHESIZER STATUS -
The status of the guitar synthesizer determines how the External In
voice triggered by the notes you play on the guitar will sound—e.g.,
you can turn the External In voice off, or synthesize the guitar
signal with a single voice, or octaves, harmonies or a chord. Hold
[MODE] and press [PAGE+] or [PAGE-] to access the External In
Select function. Then, press [-1] and [+1] to designate the
synthesizer status, as explained below.
OFF - The External In voice will not play.
SINGLE - A single note of the External In voice will play in the same
pitch as the notes you play on the guitar.
OCTAVE - Two notes of the External In voice will play—one note in
the same pitch as the notes you play on the guitar, plus one note
an octave lower.
HARM 1, 2, 3 - Two notes of the External In voice will play—one in
the same pitch as the notes you play on the guitar, plus a harmony,
matched to the current chord as displayed in the upper left area of
the LCD.
CHORD - Any note you play on the guitar will trigger the current
chord as displayed in the upper left area of the LCD.
