Recording a User Pattern
5
Use the drum pads to record your pattern.
Each time you tap a pad, the voice is recorded, the note “
” indicator
also lights up for the appropriate track, and the RY20 moves to the next
beat. The measure, beat, and clock numbers are updated and the flashing
current point “ ” indicator moves as well, giving you a visual prompt to
your present position in the pattern.
The harder you tap a pad, the louder the associated voice will sound.
NOTE
The default quantization value is to resolve to 16th notes. You can change the
quantization value at any time during the recording of a pattern. See page 44 for
further details.
The default time signature is 4/4 and the default pattern length is two measures.
Both of these values are easily changed, however you can only change them before
you record anything into the pattern. Refer to page 46.
NOTE
Each pad has a voice associated with it. The voice depends on which Drum Kit and
which Pad Bank you have selected. Each voice is associated with a track. For
example, all the bass drum voices are associated with the “
BD
” track and the snare
drum voices are all assigned to the “
SD
” track.
The tracks cannot be muted in Pattern Record Mode.
NOTE
Details about the items displayed on the LCD in Pattern Record Mode are
explained starting on page 39.
