Yamaha RY9 - page 80

■DESIGNATING THE PRESET OR USER NOTE TABLE- The MIDI note table
consists of a list of the drum pads and a corresponding MIDI note number
for each pad. When playing the RY9’s drum voices from an external
keyboard or sequencer, the drum voices will play according to the RY9’s
note table assignments. The RY9 has both a Preset note table, which you
cannot modify, and a User note table, which you can modify using the Note
Number function (see below). To designate the Preset or User note table,
hold [MODE] and press [PAGE+] or [PAGE-] to access the Note Table
function. The abbreviation “NT TBL” (Note Table) will appear in the lower left
area of the LCD, along with the current Note Table status—“PRE” (Preset)
or “USER”. Press [-1] to designate the Preset note table. Press [+1] to
designate the User note table.
■ASSIGNING THE NOTE NUMBERS TO THE PADS - When the Note Table
function is set to USER (see above), you can freely assign note numbers to
the pads. Hold [MODE] and press [PAGE-] or [PAGE+] to access the Note
Number function. The abbreviation “NT” (Note) will appear in the lower left
area of the LCD, and just to the right of it, the note number of the currently
selected pad will be flashing. The name of the drum voice currently
assigned to the drum pad (based on the selected drum kit) will also be
displayed. Press any drum pad (within either the Drum or Percussion Pad
Bank) to select it. Then, press [-1] and [+1] to assign the new note number
to the pad, between “000” and “127”, and “OFF”. After you’ve set the note
number for the first pad, simply select a different pad and repeat the
procedure until you have set the note numbers for all pads.
If the word “PRESET” temporarily appears on the LCD when you try to change a note number, this
means you are attempting to modify the Preset note table. If this happens, access the Note Table
function (see above) and set it to “USER” status.
