PRECAUTIONS

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY BEFORE PROCEEDING

* Please keep these precautions in a safe place for future reference.

WARNING

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of serious

injury or even death from electrical shock, short-circuiting, damages, fire or other

hazards. These precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not open the instrument or attempt to disassemble the internal parts or modify them in any way. The instrument

contains no user-serviceable parts. If it should appear to be malfunctioning, discontinue use immediately and have

it inspected by qualified Yamaha service personnel.

• Do not expose the instrument to rain, use it near water or in damp or wet conditions, or place containers on it

containing liquids which might spill into any openings.

• If the AC adaptor cord or plug becomes frayed or damaged, or if there is a sudden loss of sound during use of the

instrument, or if any unusual smells or smoke should appear to be caused by it, immediately turn off the power

switch, disconnect the adaptor plug from the outlet, and have the instrument inspected by qualified Yamaha service

personnel.

• Use the specified adaptor (PA-3B or an equivalent recommended by Yamaha) only. Using the wrong adaptor can

result in damage to the instrument or overheating.

• Before cleaning the instrument, always remove the electric plug from the outlet. Never insert or remove an electric

plug with wet hands.

• Check the electric plug periodically and remove any dirt or dust which may have accumulated on it.

CAUTION

Always follow the basic precautions listed below to avoid the possibility of physical

injury to you or others, or damage to the instrument or other property. These

precautions include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Do not place the AC adaptor cord near heat sources such as heaters or radiators, and do not excessively bend or

otherwise damage the cord, place heavy objects on it, or place it in a position where anyone could walk on, trip

over, or roll anything over it.

near a heater, or in a car during the day) to prevent the possibility of panel disfiguration or damage to the internal

components.

• Do not use the instrument near other electrical products such as televisions, radios, or speakers, since this might

cause interference which can affect proper operation of the other products.

• Do not place the instrument in an unstable position where it might accidentally fall over.

• Before moving the instrument, remove all connected adaptor and other cables.

• When cleaning the instrument, use a soft, dry cloth. Do not use paint thinners, solvents, cleaning fluids, or

chemical-impregnated wiping cloths. Also, do not place vinyl, plastic or rubber objects on the instrument, since

this might discolor the panel or keyboard.

• Do not rest your weight on, or place heavy objects on the instrument, and do not use excessive force on the

buttons, switches or connectors.

• Do not operate the instrument for a long period of time at a high or uncomfortable volume level, since this can

cause permanent hearing loss. If you experience any hearing loss or ringing in the ears, consult a physician.

DATA BACK-UP AND STORAGE

■ Yamaha recommends that you regularly save your music data using an external MIDI data storage device (such as

the Yamaha MDF3 MIDI Data Filer), and storing the floppy disks in a safe, cool, dry place. YAMAHA CANNOT BE

HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ACCIDENTAL LOSS OF IMPORTANT MUSIC DATA! Regarding the User memory,

as long as fresh batteries are inserted in (or an AC power adaptor is connected to) the RY9, the User pattern, song

and drum kit data will be retained, even when the power is turned off. It will also be retained long enough to

exchange an old set of batteries for a new set. If you have important data in the RY9 which you don’t want to lose,

please take care to keep fresh batteries inserted in (or keep an AC power adaptor connected to) the RY9, and to

regularly save it to an external MIDI data storage device.

Yamaha cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper use or modifications to the instrument, or

data that is lost or destroyed.

Always turn the power off when the instrument is not in use.

Make sure to discard used batteries according to local regulations.

1. THE RY9

The RY9 is an easy-to-use yet powerful rhythm programmer with automatic

bass and chord accompaniment backing, an external input for playing along

using a guitar, versatile MIDI capabilities and much more.

Featuring Yamaha’s exclusive AWM (Advanced Wave Memory) tone generation

technology—where voices are high quality digital samples of actual

instruments—the RY9 has a large capacity waveform ROM filled with 128

“drum” voices for the rhythms, and 50 “normal” voices for the backings, plus

200 Preset rhythm patterns with matching accompaniment backing

encompassing many different popular music styles, and 50 Preset songs and

12 Preset drum kits suitable for any type of music situation. The RY9 also

features powerful programming capabilities that let you do the following:

Create Your Own Rhythm Patterns

Record your own one-measure User patterns in step-time or real-time. You can

assign any of the preprogrammed backing accompaniments—consisting of

Bass, Chord 1 and Chord 2 tracks—to your rhythm.

Create Your Own Songs

String together a series of Preset and User patterns to create your own User

song—complete with chord progressions as you specify.

Create Your Own Drum Kits

Assign drum voice sounds to the pads to create your own User drum kits—

complete with drum voice pan positioning, pitch tuning and more.

2

BEFORE YOU BEGIN

PDF02_E.qx 6/2/99 5:47 PM Page 2

The RY9’s many other features include song chaining and loop repeating,

rhythm “swing” function for a realistic human feeling, guitar tuner and guitar

synthesizer, 28-note polyphony, stereo outputs, headphone jack, and a large

LCD screen which always lets you know what mode and status you’re currently

in. Hence, the RY9 is the ideal music tool that’s useful in practically any music

situation. You can use it as:

A Practicing Companion

Plug a guitar directly into the RY9 and play along with the patterns and songs.

Mute one or more of the accompaniment tracks, or turn the backing off

entirely and play along with the rhythm only. The RY9 provides just the music

you need for a hot practice session.

A Music Sketch Pad

String together a series of Preset and User rhythm patterns, designate a

backing accompaniment, and specify the chord progressions for a song idea.

Creating your own songs is quick and easy with the RY9’s user-friendly

interface.

A Powerful Drum Machine

Program professional sounding rhythm patterns by Step or Realtime recording,

complete with accent dynamics and “swing” factor for a realistic human feel.

Whether you modify a preset or create your own rhythm pattern from scratch,

the RY9’s auto-quantizing makes sure your rhythms are always on the beat.

A Guitar Synthesizer

Plug a guitar directly into the RY9 and “trigger” AWM normal voices (including

acoustic piano, strings, brass, synth pad sounds and more) in real-time with

the notes you play on the guitar. You can specify the RY9 to “synthesize” any

of the 50 normal voices as single notes, octaves, harmonies and more—in

order to create interesting and unique sound textures.

A MIDI Tone Generator

Connect an external MIDI keyboard or sequencer in order to play the RY9’s

AWM drum voices. You can specify the note table by which the different voices

will be sounded.

2. RY9 SYSTEM STRUCTURE

The RY9 is primarily a powerful rhythm programmer, but with the added

dimension of automatic backing accompaniment, song programming capability

and a guitar synthesizer.

The key components that make up the RY9’s operating system are the AWM

voices, the drum kits, the patterns, and the songs. The main operating modes

are Pattern Mode and Song Mode, each of which are made up of several

“functions”. Additional modes include Drum Kit Mode, External In Mode,

System Mode, Tempo Mode, Mute Mode, Balance Mode and Transpose Mode.

THE AWM VOICES.

There are 128 “drum” voices and 50 “normal” AWM voices. The drum voices

are assigned to the drum kits. The normal voices are assigned to the backing

accompaniments and to the guitar synthesizer.

THE DRUM KITS.

There are 12 Preset drum kits and 4 User drum kits. Although there are only

12 pads on the top panel of the RY9, each drum kit is made up of 24 drum

voices, organized in two “Pad Banks”—a “Drum Pad Bank” and a “Percussion

Pad Bank”—with 12 drum voices assigned to each Pad Bank. (You can switch

freely back and forth between Pad Banks by pressing the [PAD BANK] button.)

The various Preset drum kits are designed for different styles of music. You

can create your own User drum kits by assigning any drum voice you want to

the pads, and specifying output and accent levels, as well as pan positioning

and pitch tuning, for each pad.

THE PATTERNS.

There are 200 Preset patterns and 50 User patterns, each comprised of a one-

measure rhythm pattern. The Preset patterns are organized in 50 music styles

with “A”, “B”, “C” and “D” Sections for each style—representing both “main”

and “fill-in” type Sections.

The Preset rhythm patterns also have special Bass, Chord 1 and Chord 2

backing accompaniment tracks—matched to the music style of each respective

pattern—assigned to them. Each backing track can be turned off, or “muted”,

at will, and you can adjust the volume balance of each. If you want, you can

switch the backing off entirely.

You can create your own User rhythm patterns, and assign one of the backing

accompaniments to it.

THE SONGS.

There are 50 Preset songs and 50 User songs. The Preset songs are made up

of the Preset patterns, complete with preprogrammed chord progressions, and

are intended as music style ideas to get you started or to play along with as

they are.

You can create your own songs using Preset and/or User patterns, complete

with chord progressions that you can record in the “chord track”.

5. SETUP & POWER-ON

The RY9 can be powered by either an optional AC adaptor or six batteries.

Follow the instructions below based on the power source you intend to use.

USING A POWER ADAPTOR.

Plug the DC output cable from an optional Yamaha PA-3B AC Adaptor (available

from your Yamaha dealer) snugly into the [DC IN] jack on the rear panel, then

plug the adaptor into a convenient wall AC power outlet.

Do not attempt to use an AC adaptor other than the Yamaha PA-3B or an equivalent recommended

by Yamaha. The use of an incompatible adaptor may cause irreparable damage to the RY9, and

may even pose a serious shock hazard! ALWAYS UNPLUG THE AC ADAPTOR FROM THE AC POWER

OUTLET WHEN THE RY9 IS NOT IN USE.

When the AC adaptor plug is inserted into the RY9’s [DC IN] jack, the batteries are automatically

disconnected.

Regarding the User memory, as long as fresh batteries are inserted in (or an AC power adaptor is

connected to) the RY9, the User pattern, song and drum kit data will be retained, even when the

power is turned off. It will also be retained long enough to exchange an old set of batteries for a

new set. If you have important data in the RY9 which you don’t want to lose, please take care to

keep fresh batteries inserted in (or keep an AC power adaptor connected to) the RY9, and to

regularly save it to an external MIDI data storage device.
