Playing the Preset Patterns s Changing Pattern Numbers During Playback A new pattern can be selected while another pattern is already playing on the RY20. Select the next pattern by rotating the Jog Dial or by using the [ +1 ] and [ -1 ] buttons. PATTERN NEXT The "NEXT" indicator lights up until the current pattern has finished. The name then changes on the display and the new pattern starts to play. If the pattern you have selected is empty, the "EMPTY" indicator will also light up. PATTERN NEXT EMPTY s Selecting the Sections A pattern on the RY20 consists of six sections. Each section can be programmed for a specific purpose. The preset patterns have all six sections programmed. The sections are: • INTRO - This section is used for the introduction to the pattern. When it has finished playing the introduction, the RY20 automatically switches to the "MAIN A" section. • MAIN A - This is the default section. It can be used for the basic verse and chorus structure of a pattern. • MAIN B - This the alternative section. It can be used for the bridge structure of a pattern. There are two transition sections, both play immediately when selected: • FILL AB - This section is used to make the transition between the verse/chorus section and the bridge section. When it is complete, the unit starts to play section "MAIN B". 16
