2. RY8 SYSTEM STRUCTURE

The RY8 is primarily a powerful rhythm programmer, but with the added
dimension of automatic backing accompaniment, song programming capability
and a guitar synthesizer.

The key components that make up the RY8’s operating system are the AWM
voices, the drum kits, the patterns, and the songs. The main operating modes
are Pattern Mode and Song Mode, each of which are made up of several
“functions”. Additional modes include Drum Kit Mode, External In Mode,
System Mode, Tempo Mode, Mute Mode, Balance Mode and Transpose Mode.
