s Setting the Tempo Playing the Preset Patterns The preset patterns on the RY20 are programmed with an initial tempo. As long as the machine is stopped when you select a pattern, its initial tempo is loaded. If you select another pattern while the RY20 is playing, the new pattern will inherit the current tempo setting. 1 Modify the current tempo setting by pressing the [TEMPO] button to place the unit in Tempo Mode. Notice the "TEMPO" indicator flashing beside the current Tempo value. PATTERN OTHERS HH SD BD PAD BANK A CHASE TEMPO MAIN A PATTERN Current Tempo TEMPO The tempo can be adjusted either when the RY20 is stopped or while it is playing a pattern or a song.
