Playing the Preset Patterns

FILL BA

 - This section is used to make the transition back to the 

verse/chorus section from the bridge section. When it has 
completed playing, it switches to “

MAIN A

”.

There is also a finale section:

ENDING

 - As its name implies, this section ends the pattern play 

when it is complete.

You can select a section before you start playing a pattern. For example, 
select the “

INTRO

” section of the pattern. After you have started the 

pattern playing, you can select other sections.

1

Press and hold the 

[SECTION]

 button, then press the Drum Pad button for 

the section you want to play. The appropriate Section indicator lights up, 
for example, the “

INTRO

” indicator.

There are labels below the lower row of drum pads indicating the different 
sections.

2

Start playing the pattern by pressing the 

[ PLAY ]

 button. The green Play 

LED will flash to the current tempo setting and the pattern will begin 
playback.

The “

INTRO

” section plays, automatically followed by the “

MAIN A

” section.

3

Select another section. For example, select the “

MAIN B

” section. Press and 

hold the 

[SECTION]

 button. Then press the 

[8 - SIDE STICK]

 drum pad button, 

which corresponds to the “

MAIN B

” section.

NOTE

When the “

ENDING

” section has completed, it stops the playback and sets the RY20 

back to “

MAIN A

” to prepare for playing the next pattern.

NOTE

When you select a section other than the two transition sections, the newly selected 
section will begin playing after the current section has finished playing.
