MIDI Functions
The RY20 is a fully functional MIDI instrument. It can send or receive
MIDI data through its MIDI IN and OUT connectors. You can play its
voices from another instrument or you can use it to control other MIDI
devices, such as keyboards or tone generators. You can connect your
RY20 to a MIDI data storage device, such as the Yamaha MDF2 MIDI
Data Filer, to perform back-ups of your valuable pattern, song and
drum pad data.
This mode determines whether the RY20 timing is synchronized by its
own internal clock or by an external MIDI clock.
