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

Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
I
(4)-5
PDF01_E.qx 6/2/99 5:42 PM Page 4
Do not attempt to recharge batteries that are not intended to be charged.
If the instrument is not to be in use for a long time, remove the batteries from it, in order to prevent possible fluid
leakage from the battery.
Keep batteries away from children.
Before connecting the instrument to other electronic components, turn off the power for all components. Before
turning the power on or off for all components, set all volume levels to minimum. Also, be sure to set the volumes
of all components at their minimum levels and gradually raise the volume controls while playing the instrument to

Do not expose the instrument to excessive dust or vibrations, or extreme cold or heat (such as in direct sunlight,
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.

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.
