8. PLAYING THE PRESET PATTERNS
The RY9 comes filled with 200 Preset one-measure rhythm patterns (#000 ~
#199). Each Preset pattern is accompanied by a special backing par t,
preprogrammed in a specific music style. The automatic backing consists of Bass,
Chord 1 and Chord 2 tracks. There are 200 backings, covering many different
popular styles of music. (For a list of the RY9’s pattern, see page 88.)
The Preset rhythm patterns are organized in 50 music styles with four Sections for
each style. A Section is simply a “Main A” or “Main B” part, or a “Fill AB” part (a
fill-in that leads the Main A par t naturally into the Main B par t), or a “Fill BA” part
(a fill-in that leads the Main B part naturally into the Main A par t).
You can change the backings independently of the rhythm (see page 32), as
well as change the chord (see page 32). You can mute the various backing
tracks (see page 74), or turn the backing off entirely and just hear the rhythm
(see page 32).
All changes made to Preset patterns, except for the Swing setting, are temporar y. When you select
a different pattern or switch to another mode and then return to Pattern Mode, the default settings
will be reinstated.
The patterns, number 192 through 199, don’t contain bass and chord data.
■

(It may be necessar y to hold [MODE] and press [PAGE-] several times to
