Recording a User Pattern s Combination Patterns SECTION 6 BD INTRO A unique feature of the RY20 is its ability to create "combination" patterns. A combination pattern is constructed by selecting tracks from the preset and user patterns. 1 Select a section of the pattern. Press and hold the [SECTION] button, then press the Drum Pad button for the section you want to record. The appropriate Section indicator lights up, for example, the "INTRO" indicator. NOTE As you record your combination pattern, you can select other sections as you need. 2 Select a pattern from "100" to "149" to record into by rotating the Jog Dial or by using the [ +1 ] and [ -1 ] buttons. Start recording by pressing the [RECORD] button. PATTERN OTHERS HH SD BD PAD BANK A CHASE OTHERS TRACK HH SELECT/ MUTE SD BD 38 INTRO PATTERN EMPTY The initial track selected is the "BD" - bass drum - track. Notice the track " " indicator is lit. You can change tracks by pressing the appropriate Track Select/Mute button. NOTE Although you are using other patterns, the combination pattern controls the time signature and the number of measures. You can use patterns with different time signatures ("METER") and/or measure numbers. A shorter pattern will be padded out by a number of repititions of itself and a longer pattern will be truncated. This will not change the data in the original pattern. You can also apply swing and groove to the combination pattern without affecting the data in the original pattern. See page 46 for further details. 3 Select the bass drum track of another pattern by rotating the Jog Dial or by using the [ +1 ] and [ -1 ] buttons. Notice that the pattern number changes under the "COMB" prompt.
