Modifying the Drum Kits

The RY20 allows you to set four sensitivity parameters. These 

parameters determine the effect of tapping a drum pad harder (with 

increasing velocity) on the output sound.

Level Sensitivity

The harder you tap a drum pad, the louder its voice will sound.

1

Select the Level Sensitivity parameter by pressing the 

[PAGE+]

 or 

[PAGE–]

button. The display reads “

SENS

” and “

LVL

”. The current level flashes.

2

Press the pad you want to modify after selecting the Pad Bank.

3

Adjust the level sensitivity of the drum pad by rotating the Jog Dial or by 

using the 

[ +1 ]

 and 

[ –1 ]

 buttons.

The range is from “

0

” to “

3

”. Depending on the Pad Sensitivity setting (see 

page 98), adjusting this setting affects how loud a voice will sound the 

harder you tap its corresponding drum pad.
