Alternate Group

You can assign individual voices to a group. This function is similar to
turning polyphony off, except in this case the effect is used with
interacting voices. For example, you can use the alternate group to
create a more realistic effect with the various hi-hat voices in your kit.
Select the Alternate Group display page by pressing the
1
buttons. The display reads
Press the pad you want to modify after selecting the Pad Bank.

Select a group by rotating the Jog Dial or by using the
3
buttons.
You have seven groups to choose from. The range is "OFF" or from "1" to
"7". Pressing the
to "OFF".
NOTE
In a real drum set, you would never hear the sound of a closed hi-hat at the same
time as an open hi-hat. If you assign both of these instruments to one of the
available alternate groups, the closed and open hi-hat sounds will not sound
together, even if you play the pads at the same time. This means you can play the
open hi-hat, then "close" the hi-hat by playing the closed hi-hat pad.
The RY20 has individual voices for each hi-hat sound. To achieve a realistic effect,
group the three hi-hat pads together into an alternate group.
