Playing the Pads
The RY20 has five pad banks labeled “
A
” to “
E
”. Each pad bank contains 12
drum pads. This indicates that a drum kit can accommodate 60 drum or
percussion voices (pad numbers “
00
” to “
59”
). See page 83 for more
information.
The Drum Kit list on page 124 shows the pad bank assignments for each
voice in the preset drum kits.
When the RY20 is in bass mode, the drum pads function as a
keyboard, with each key playing the bass voice at a different pitch.
The following diagram shows how the drum pads correspond to the layout
of a standard keyboard.
NOTE
Changing the voice assignment of the drum kits will affect the voices of each
pattern. This is because only the pad numbers are recorded in a pattern.
