The Controls and Connections
CEnter Button
The [ENTER] button is used to confirm special operations that will change
data in the internal memory, for example, clearing a pattern or song.
D+1 and –1 Buttons
The [ +1 ] (increment) and [ -1 ] (decrement) buttons are used along with
the Jog Dial or the Shuttle Dial to select patterns or songs, to change
tempo values, or to modify other parameters.
Use these buttons when you require a fine degree of control rather than
the speed and convenience of the Jog Dial or the Shuttle Dial.
ECursor Buttons
The [ < ] and [ > ] cursor buttons change the focus within a display page,
selecting the various parameters that are available for editing.
FRecord Button and Record LED
The [RECORD] button switches the RY20 into Record Mode in either Pattern
Mode or Song Mode. The red Record LED lights up and the Rhythm
Programmer is ready for you to begin creating.
Press the [RECORD] button again to cancel Record Mode. The red Record
LED switches off and the RY20 returns to either Pattern Mode or Song
Mode.
GStop Button
The [ STOP ] button stops playback or turns off Real-time Record Mode.
HPlay Button and Play LED
The [ PLAY ] button starts playback of a pattern or song. You also use it to
begin real-time recording of a pattern or song.
The green Play LED will flash in time with the current tempo setting.
NOTE
The focus is always indicated by the flashing prompt or symbol.
NOTE
The default Record Mode for either a pattern or a song is Step Record Mode. Press
the [ PLAY ] button for Real-time Record Mode.
