Yamaha RY8 Owner's Manual page 80

DESIGNATING THE PRESET OR USER NOTE TABLE - The MIDI note table
consists of a list of the drum pads and a corresponding MIDI note number for each pad.
When playing the RY8's drum voices from an external keyboard or
sequencer, the drum voices will play according to the RY8's note table
assignments. The RY8 has both a Preset note table, which you cannot
modify, and a User note table, which you can modify using the Note Number
function (see below). To designate the Preset or User note table, hold [MODE]
press [PAGE+] or [PAGE-] to access the Note Table function. The
abbreviation "NT TBL" (Note Table) will appear in the lower left area of the
LCD, along with the current Note Table status—"PRE" (Preset) or "USER".
Press [-1] to designate the Preset note table. Press [+1] to designate the
User note table.
ASSIGNING THE NOTE NUMBERS TO THE PADS - When the Note Table
function is set to USER (see above), you can freely assign note numbers to
the pads. Hold [MODE] and press [PAGE-] or [PAGE+] to access the Note
Number function. The abbreviation "NT" (Note) will appear in the lower left
area of the LCD, and just to the right of it, the note number of the currently
selected pad will be flashing. The name of the drum voice currently assigned
to the drum pad (based on the selected drum kit) will also be displayed.
Press any drum pad (within either the Drum or Percussion Pad Bank) to
select it. Then, press [-1] and [+1] to assign the new note number to the pad,
between "000" and "127", and "OFF". After you've set the note number for
the first pad, simply select a different pad and repeat the procedure until you
set the note numbers for all pads.

If the word "PRESET" temporarily appears on the LCD when you try to change a note number, this
means you are attempting to modify the Preset note table. If this happens, access the Note Table
function (see above) and set it to "USER" status.
