SELECTING AN EXTERNAL IN VOICE - You can select any of the 50
AWM normal voices to be triggered by the notes you play on the
guitar. Hold [MODE] and press [PAGE+] or [PAGE-] to access the
External In Select function. Two lines of information will be displayed
in the lower left area of the LCD. The current synthesizer status (see
above) will be displayed in the top line, and the name of the
currently selected External In voice will be displayed in the bottom
line. Press [1] once to position the flashing cursor over the voice
name, then press [-1] and [+1] to select a different voice.
For a list of the AWM normal voices, see page 89.
The RY8 can only recognize single notes that you play on the guitar; i.e., it cannot recognize block
chords. Recognizing the specific notes you play on the guitar and in turn triggering a voice to play in
the same pitch is a rather sophisticated technological feat. The quality of the results you get will
depend on a combination of factors, including the type of guitar you use, guitar volume level, tone
and pickup settings, and the External In Mode Sensitivity function setting (see below). Achieving a
satisfactory result may require some experimentation with playing style and the various settings.
Your playing style may also cause a different pitch than the one you desired, or note truncation.
SETTING THE EXTERNAL IN SENSITIVITY LEVEL - You can specify the
sensitivity setting for the External In voice to be triggered by the guitar signal.
Hold [MODE] and press [PAGE+] or [PAGE-] to access the Sensitivity function.
The abbreviation "SENS" (Sensitivity) will appear in the lower left area of the
LCD, along with the current sensitivity setting. Press [-1] and [+1] to specify
the Sensitivity function setting between "00" and "19", where lower values
represent less sensitivity, and higher values represent more sensitivity.
The RY8 cannot record the External In part as played by the guitar signal.
