or songs, to change tempo values, and to gener-
ally edit parameter values in any of the RY30
modes. Either key can be pressed briefly for
single stepping in the specified direction, or held
for continuous scrolling.

[SENSE] Key & Indicator

velocity sensitivity on (LED lit) or off (LED off).

Keys
[CLEAR] Key
The [CLEAR] key is used primarily to erase
mistaken or unwanted notes when recording
patterns in the real time and step record modes
(pages 21 and 24), to reset parameters when
using the parameter record mode (page 28), and
to clear parts of a song in the song mode (page
32).
Instrument Pads
The RY30's 12 instrument pads — A through L
— allow the associated instruments to be
played and entered into patterns being recorded.
Please note that the instrument names on the
pads will not always correspond exactly to the
instrument played. The RY30 has 12 internal
and 4 internal/card "pad banks," plus a special
"pitch multi" pad bank, that assign completely
different sets of instruments to the pads — and
more can be loaded from external data cards.
[START] Key
Starts playback (or recording if a record standby
mode has been selected) of the selected pattern
or song.
