VOICE EDIT MODE

LEVEL

Voice edit mode/Page 01

Summary:

Sets the level at which the selected

voice will be output via the RY30’s stereo out-
puts (i.e. the OUTPUT L/MONO and R jacks).

Settings:

Voice: I00 . . . I95 (internal), C00 . . . C31

(card)

Level: 00 . . . 63

Procedure:

Use the and keys to move the

cursor to the voice name or level parameter. Use
the [INC] and [DEC] keys, the [DATA] slider,
or the numeric keys to set the level parameter.
The [INC] and [DEC] keys, the [DATA] slider,
or the instrument pads can be used to select the
voice.

Notes:

A setting of “00” produces no sound while a

setting of “63” produces maximum volume.

The ability to independently adjust the vol-

ume of each voice makes it simple to set up the

optimum balance or “mix" between voices.

The level at which each voice will be output

via the INDIV OUT 1 and 2 jacks can be further
adjusted via the INDIVIDUAL LEVEL function
described on page 90.

WAVE ASSIGN

Voice edit mode/Page 02

Procedure:

Use the and keys to move the

cursor to the voice name, wave 1, or wave 2

parameter, then use the [INC] and [DEC] keys

or the [DATA] slider to set as required. The
instrument pads can be used to select the voice.

Summary:

Each RY30 voice consists of one or

two

“waves.” This function assigns any one or two

internal or cartridge waves to the selected voice.

Settings:

Voice: I00 . . . I95 (internal), C00 . . . C31

(card)

Wave 1: Any of 174 internal or card waves —

see list below.

Wave 2: Any of 174 internal or card waves,

off — see list below.

Notes:

Completely different waves can be assigned

to wave 1 and wave 2, but it is also possible to

assign the

same

wave to both. In this case the

waves can be filtered differently and/or have
different envelopes to create an endless range of
interesting effects.

A wave card must be inserted into the RY30

WAVE CARD slot in order to use the card waves.
