Playing the Preset Patterns
The preset patterns on the RY20 are programmed with an initial
tempo. As long as the machine is stopped when you select a pattern,
its initial tempo is loaded. If you select another pattern while the
RY20 is playing, the new pattern will inherit the current tempo
setting.
1
Modify the current tempo setting by pressing the [TEMPO] button to place
the unit in Tempo Mode. Notice the “TEMPO” indicator flashing beside the
current Tempo value.
The tempo can be adjusted either when the RY20 is stopped or while it is
playing a pattern or a song.
2
Adjust the tempo by rotating the Jog Dial or by using the [ +1 ] and [ –1 ]
buttons.
The playback tempo can be set to any value from 40 to 250 beats per
minute.
3
Press the [PATTERN] button to return to Pattern Mode.
Setting the Tempo
NOTE
You can also change the tempo while you are recording a pattern or a song.
NOTE
Each pattern has been recorded with a specific tempo. Pressing the
[ +1 ] and [ –1 ]
buttons simultaneously resets the tempo to its default value.
NOTE
Pressing the
[TEMPO] button again is another method of switching the RY20 back to
the previously selected main mode.
