The voice depends on which Drum Kit and which Pad Bank you have selected. Each voice is associated with a track. For example, all the bass drum voices are associated with the "BD" track and the snare drum voices are all assigned to the "SD" track. The tracks cannot be muted in Pattern Record Mode. Each time you tap a pad, the voice is recorded, the note " " indicator also lights up for the appropriate track, and the RY20 moves to the next beat. The measure, beat, and clock numbers are updated and the flashing current point " " indicator moves as well, giving you a visual prompt to your present position in the pattern. NOTE Details about the items displayed on the LCD in Pattern Record Mode are explained starting on page 39. The harder you tap a pad, the louder the associated voice will sound. 31
