Operation Manual

The word "PTN" (located next to the number of the currently selected pattern)

will be flashing, indicating that you can change the pattern number.

Press [-1] and [+1] to select a Preset pattern (between #000 ~ #199). (The

pattern numbers between #200 ~ #249 are for User patterns, i.e., patterns

you create yourself; the User patterns for a new RY8 will contain no data.)

To play the selected Preset pattern, press [PLAY]. The selected pattern will

play repeatedly until you press [STOP]. To continue the pattern playback from

the stop position, press [PLAY] again. To start the pattern again from the

beginning, or top, before pressing [PLAY], you must press [TOP], [BWD] or

[FWD] to return the pattern to the top.

SELECTING "NEXT" PATTERNS.

While a pattern plays back, you can designate the "Next" pattern to play

immediately after the current pattern finishes.

To select the Next pattern, while the current pattern is playing, simply press

[-1] and [+1] to designate the Next pattern. (This is a good opportunity to

step through each Preset pattern and hear each one!)
