Yamaha RY20 Owner's Manual - Other Pattern Functions

Other Pattern Functions

There are additional functions in Pattern Play Mode, helping you to 

precisely complete your own patterns.

Swing gives your patterns a looser, “swing” feel by slightly delaying 

the even-numbered eighth or 16th notes. Each pattern can be 

programmed with a different swing setting. You can modify the swing 

at anytime, while the RY20 is stopped or during playback.
