Playing the Preset Patterns
The preset patterns on the RY20 are programmed with an initial
tempo. As long as the machine is stopped when you select a pattern,
its initial tempo is loaded. If you select another pattern while the
RY20 is playing, the new pattern will inherit the current tempo
setting.
1
Modify the current tempo setting by pressing the
[TEMPO]
button to place
the unit in Tempo Mode. Notice the “
TEMPO
” indicator flashing beside the
current Tempo value.
The tempo can be adjusted either when the RY20 is stopped or while it is
playing a pattern or a song.
2
Adjust the tempo by rotating the Jog Dial or by using the
[ +1 ]
and
[ –1 ]
buttons.
The playback tempo can be set to any value from 40 to 250 beats per
minute.
3
Press the
[PATTERN]
button to return to Pattern Mode.

Setting the Tempo
NOTE
You can also change the tempo while you are recording a pattern or a song.
NOTE
Each pattern has been recorded with a specific tempo. Pressing the
[ +1 ]
and
[ –1 ]
buttons simultaneously resets the tempo to its default value.
NOTE
Pressing the
[TEMPO]
button again is another method of switching the RY20 back to
the previously selected main mode.
