Recording a Song
The RY20 can record 50 original songs, each consisting of as many
patterns as you want, in its internal memory. The internal memory
saves your pattern and song data even if the power is shut off. There
are two song record modes: Step Record Mode and Real-time Record
Mode.
In this mode you select patterns one at a time to create your song.
