ASSIGNING THE PROGRAM CHANGE RECEIVE CHANNEL - You can have the
RY8 respond to program change messages from an external MIDI keyboard or
sequencer. For example, by pressing the voice selectors on your keyboard,
you can select the RY8's drum kits. To do so, you must assign the RY8's
program change receive channel to the same program change channel
number as the transmitting device. Hold [MODE] and press [PAGE-] or
[PAGE+] to access the Program Change function. The abbreviation "PC"
(Program Change) 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
RY8's MIDI Program Change receive channel number.
Refer to the Drum Kit List on page 84 for the program change numbers
exclusive to each drum kit.
ASSIGNING THE EXTERNAL IN VOICE TRANSMIT CHANNEL - The RY8 can
transmit MIDI signals generated by the External In voice (as played from the
guitar) in order to play an external tone generator. To do so, you must assign
the RY8's External In voice channel to the same MIDI receive channel number
tone generator. Hold [MODE] and press [PAGE-] or [PAGE+] to access the External In
Channel function. The abbreviation "EXT CH" (External In 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 External In voice channel number.
