1. DESIGNATING THE EXTERNAL IN GUITAR SYNTHESIZER STATUS -
The status of the guitar synthesizer determines how the External In
voice triggered by the notes you play on the guitar will sound—e.g.,
you can turn the External In voice off, or synthesize the guitar signal with a
single voice, or octaves, harmonies or a chord. Hold [MODE] and press
[PAGE+] or [PAGE-] to access the External In Select function. Then, press [-1]
and [+1] to designate the synthesizer status, as explained below.
❑OFF - The External In voice will not play.
❑SINGLE - A single note of the External In voice will play in the
same pitch as the notes you play on the guitar.
❑OCTAVE - Two notes of the External In voice will play—one note in
the same pitch as the notes you play on the guitar, plus one
note an octave lower.
❑HARM 1, 2, 3 - Two notes of the External In voice will play—one in
the same pitch as the notes you play on the guitar, plus a harmony,
matched to the current chord as displayed in the upper left area of
the LCD.
❑CHORD - Any note you play on the guitar will trigger the current
chord as displayed in the upper left area of the LCD.

■USING THE RY8 AS A GUITAR SYNTHESIZER- When a guitar (not an
Electric Bass) is plugged into the [EXT IN] jack, you can use the guitar to
trigger an External In voice in a variety of ways. There are two steps to setting up the
RY8 as a guitar synthesizer:
1. Designating the guitar synthesizer status.
2. Selecting an external in voice (see below).
