Yamaha RY9 PATTERN RECORD MODE.

MODES & FUNCTIONS

PATTERN RECORD MODE.

In Pattern Record Mode, you can select and record a User pattern in either

step-time or real-time, as well as designate the meter (time signature) for the

pattern before recording, and record accents to achieve realistic playing

dynamics. You may copy a Preset pattern to a User pattern location and modify

it, or you may clear a User pattern (or select an empty User pattern) and

create your own pattern from scratch.

If the LCD displays the words “MEMORY FULL”, you cannot record a User pattern. To free up

memory, clear any unwanted User patterns or songs. (Be sure to save any important User data

first, offloading it to an external storage device such as the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer.)

■ENTERING PATTERN RECORD MODE- First hold [MODE] and press

[PATTERN] to enter Pattern Mode. Then press [REC] to enter Pattern Record

Standby Mode, which means the RY9 will be standing by ready to record—

by either the Step or Realtime recording process—with the pattern

beat/clock location conveniently cued up at the first beat of the measure.

The LCD will display the current chord, the current beat, the current clock,

the drum voice name of the currently selected drum pad, and the currently

selected pad number. (To exit Pattern Record Mode, press [REC] again.)

You cannot enter Pattern Record Mode when a Preset pattern (#000 ~ #199) is selected. If you

press [REC] when a Preset pattern is selected, the word “PRESET” will appear briefly in the LCD to

remind you to select a User pattern and then try again.
