Other Pattern Functions

The range is from “51%” to “99%” or “OFF”.

4The default quantization is eighth notes. To change the quantization press

the [ > ] cursor button to change the focus to the “QUANTIZE” prompt.

Change the value by rotating the Jog Dial or using the [ +1 ] and [ –1 ]

buttons.

The values are = eighth notes or = 16th notes.

Groove adds a human rhythm feel by changing the velocity, timing, or

quantization values of a pattern. Each pattern can be programmed

with a different groove setting. You can modify the groove at anytime,

while the RY20 is stopped or during playback.

1Press the [PATTERN] button to put the RY20 into Pattern Mode. Select a

pattern by rotating the Jog Dial or using the [ +1 ] and [ –1 ] buttons.

NOTE

The “SWING” indicator will appear on the top of the LCD when any swing

parameter other than “OFF” is selected. It will remain lit for the selected pattern as

long as a swing function is active.

NOTE

Pressing the [ +1 ] and [ –1 ] buttons simultaneously resets both the Swing and

Quantize values to their default.
