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".
