DESIGNATING THE SYNC CLOCK - You can connect an external sequencer to
the RY8 and synchronize, or "sync" the two devices together so that their
clocks will play in perfect time with each other. The RY8 may be designated
as the "master" device, which means you should set its sync clock to
Internal, and the external sequencer's clock to MIDI. Or the RY8 may be
designated as the "slave" device, which means you should set its sync clock
to MIDI, and set the external sequencer's clock to Internal. Hold [MODE] and
press [PAGE-] once or more, if necessary, to access the Sync function. The
word "SYNC" will appear in the lower area of the LCD, along with the current
sync clock status—"INT" (Internal) or "MIDI". Press [-1] to set the sync clock
to "INT" status. Press [+1] to set the sync clock to MIDI status.
ASSIGNING THE MIDI TRANSMIT/RECEIVE CHANNEL - You can connect a
MIDI keyboard and play the RY8's drum voices from its keyboard. Likewise,
you can play the RY8's drum voices from an external sequencer. To do so,
you must assign the RY8's MIDI channel to the same channel number as the
external device. Hold [MODE] and press [PAGE-] or [PAGE+] to access the
MIDI Channel function. The abbreviation "CH" (Channel) will appear in the
lower left area of the LCD, along with the current channel assignment ("01 ~
16", "OFF"). Press [-1] and [+1] to assign the RY8's MIDI channel number.
