Press [-1] and [+1] to select a Preset song (between #00 ~ #49). (The song
numbers between #50 and #99 are for User songs, i.e., songs you create
yourself; the User songs for a new RY8 will contain no data.)
To play the selected Preset song, press [PLAY]. (If the Repeat function is on;
see page 43), the song will continuously play until you press [STOP].
To stop the playback in the middle of a song, press [STOP]. To continue the
song playback from the stop position, press [PLAY] again. To start the song
playback from the top, press [TOP] before pressing [PLAY].
To specify a starting measure, before pressing [PLAY], press [BWD] or [FWD]
to designate a specific measure to start the song from.
The RY8 has 28-note polyphony, which means the maximum number of notes that can sound at one
time is 28. In some cases, some of the voices may be “truncated”, or cut off, or may not sound at all.
