Monitoring by an Audio System
Another simple setup for monitoring the RY9’s sound is to plug a pair of audio
cables from the RY9’s [OUTPUT] jacks to the inputs of either a mixer, or a
stereo amplifier, or a pair of amplified keyboard speakers. Carefully adjust the
RY9’s [VOLUME] slider in relation to the input and output levels on the mixer
and volume level on the amplifier.
MAKE SURE BOTH THE RY9 AND YOUR SOUND SYSTEM ARE TURNED OFF
WHEN MAKING CONNECTIONS!
Connecting a MIDI Device
The RY9 has a variety of MIDI capabilities, and the type of external MIDI device
you connect to it depends on your particular requirements. For example, you
may want to connect a MIDI data storage device (such as the Yamaha MDF3
MIDI Data Filer) to save User patterns, songs and drum kits, or you may want
to connect an external MIDI keyboard to use the RY9 as a “slave” tone
generator and play its AWM drum voices, or you may want to connect a music
sequencer and control the RY9’s sync clock. In general, you should plug a MIDI
cable from the RY9’s [MIDI OUT] jack to the MIDI IN jack of the external
device, and plug another MIDI cable from the RY9’s [MIDI IN] jack to the MIDI
OUT jack of the external device. Depending on your required application, you
may need to make specific MIDI settings on both devices. (For details about
MIDI and sync clock settings, see “System Mode”, page 67.)
