All user reviews for the Yamaha RM1X

Ah, the RM1X. Or RM1X as if A or A sequencer groove box. In short, the blue thingy years Techno-Trance.
Nice big box all painted metal (epoxy I guess, but it alters the sound, it's not a guitar) with buttons, knobs and a large monochrome display that was frankly luxury at the time of its release.

As usual with Yamaha smells not junk. It is the eternal good point of the Japanese brand that is found on all ranges of the house to the three forks, the level of finish is high. A good case brawny, knobs and switches galore, and the back of the machine ... two outputs unbalanced jacks 6.35 for the "line out" and MIDI (In / Out). Two outputs ... we will return later.

There's what in the box?
Yes, anyway, even if the face of the device is nice it must be to pick the sound.
And here we are at Yamaha. (To be read with the voice of the TV commentators though clumsy).
Yes, again and again synthesizing home-based PCM samples, the famous Advanced Wave Modulation II, reloaded, the return of revenge. I seem to annoy me all alone in front of my screen, but I'm actually very quiet. For the time (1999-2002) it was good and it was hard to imagine a sequencer-groove box with affordable analog modeling, FM, sampling etc ... it will be the big sister, this very estimable RS7000.

We do what we want and what we can with the synthesis AWM2, peanuts on the pretzel: the effects section, richly endowed of all that was then located on the S03 / S80 / CS2X / CS6X of brand. It's not bad, it's the job, but it's not the sound of an Eventide or AMS.
There are still some surprises: Low Pass (LPF), Cutoff, Resonance, Envelope. Zou.

There are plenty of sounds and presets in it, it's friendly, it's easy, it's cool.
We can have fun with 654 sounds and 46 drum kits various. With 50 free patterns for the user (60 printed in the ROM) and 20 songs, it's not bad at all.

To this is added a sequencer 110,000 notes, 32-voice polyphony (internal synthesis) and 64-note polyphony pure sequence, a record of the movement of a few knobs, it's not bad at all ... but only ONE output MIDI. There is not possib. No place, right possib.

Ultimate point that is VERY wrong Derche: you can not save on the fly, back to just reading, resume recording ... without stop / start. And that's okay when you're all alone in the corner, but two in sync (via DAW) it becomes unmanageable.



UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?
Vui. It's not bad. It is not in the software with a mega-interface but it is understandable and sub-sub-sub menus do not serve every ten seconds.

The usual functions are they easily accessible?
Oh damn, I said above, so yes, it will.

The manual is clear and sufficient?
Nein, nein, nein!
It's a Yamaha manual, so rather well, but it's not digestible: too gnan-gnan to be pro (it caters to DJ, right?) Or too cryptic to be useful. So you have to go and experience.

SOUNDS

The sounds they suit your style of music?
Hmm. In a minimal trip, why not 90's revival, but it's still not the top.
The sounds are not bad, but the whole is constrained by the lack of separate outputs.
So the "mix" out of the single stereo output is not at the height of a free software sequencer with plugins freeware. I speak only of sound.

Are they realistic?
Yes, it really looks like the sounds of AWM2 synthesis out of DA converters with dynamic means not at all pro. The true sound of groovebox.

The effects are they effective and responsive?
Yes I do.

The expression is good? (Response to velocity, aftertouch)?
Yes too.


What are the sounds you prefer, you hate? ...
I used almost the most, sometimes one or two percussion sounds very typical 90's, low FM so when I need to triple a particular sound with a longer decay. In short, I no longer use the RM1X as sound module and I use mostly the sequencer.


OVERALL OPINION

How long have you use it?
One year.

Have you tried many other models before buying it?
Yes I do. I had the same kind:
- Quasimidi 309 (all options) with a Sirius bonus
- MC 505
- MC 303
- RM1X

All have strengths and weaknesses. The RM1X is, for me, the best sequencers listed above. But it is also one of the worst as sound module. It puts the MC303 into pieces, fortunately, but the MC505 it trumps with its separate (sound sequencer for my taste, much less good) outputs.

What thing do you like most and least?
Nice face.
Fun to use.
Solid (except the pads, but it speaks).
Good MIDI management, despite the single MIDI OUT. But with a splitter it goes alone.
Sounds means. Sometimes very good, sometimes heartbreaking.

Ergonomically correct but this recording limitation / start / stop / contraption countered me to replace it with a Elektron Monomachine SFX6. Not the same budget, not the same range, but here goes: at least it sounds good and sequence to death.

How would you rate the quality / price?
On occasion, around 150/200 euros is not bad. Attention to her, it can be perfect in music where everything is not "cleat" and supercharged, the hovering, the muffled. If that's the sound you're looking for Dubstep, it'll be tight. As against this is a very good sequencer to compose only a limited number of machines (16).

With experience, you do again this choice?
Yes I do. With the same needs and the same budget as when I bought it, I say yes.
I was very strict with this poor RM1X, I am fortunate to have (and have had) sublime machine (and some not so good) and I became difficult, demanding. No shame to have fun with RM1X. I still have it and I really hesitate to part with. I am attached and I appreciate it when it came out I wanted one. It is likely that in fact I never redeems RM1X and I like the RS7000, but it's not the same budget and the RS is much more cumbersome.

The Yamaha RM1X is a step programmable machine interface. The technology used in this unit is the same that is in a lot of samplers on the market today. One thing that is really cool with this is that you can actually purchase a add on piece of hardware for it that will make it rack able! Most Hardware sequencers don’t come or even have that option available. So Yamaha was thinking on their toes when creating this hardware. It was made around 10 years ago, so you can get them pretty cheap online today. I personally don’t have one anymore because I have traded it for another piece of gear years ago. Not to say it wasn’t a good buy, because it was and it served its purpose in my workflow.


UTILIZATION

One thing you will need with this unit is the manual. The manual is pretty lengthy too, not too easy to understand. Well its not hard to understand its just so boring. But once you get the hang of it you wont need the manual unless you forgot how to do something. Most of the menu’s are self explanatory once you figure out how to get to them. The screen is small though, so beware. Most devices with small backlit screens don’t play well on my eyes which was one of the downfalls of this machine for me.


SOUNDS

You will love the sounds and sound quality you will get out of the RM1X. It is second to none, there are a lot of effects and you can have a song up to 256 measures long. Also, with the ability to have 16 different midi inserts going. The memory on this unit isn’t that much though, I think you can only save around 15 or so songs if I remember correctly. So its far from where we are today with computers and saving you whole lifes work for later use.


OVERALL OPINION

Overall, the RM1X does the job you need it to do with out any issues. Minus the learning curve you will love this unit and it will go great in your work flow and make your music a little less stressful because this unit does so much for you. I suggest purchasing this now because its really cheap online and in the music stores locally. Its really a no brainer now because of the cost.

MIDI connections in classic. Some effects, all horrible. No separate outputs.
Just a good sequencer, very convenient for live (real) and to control all MIDI devices.

UTILIZATION

Rather simple and comprehensive user. Relatively well thought out.

SOUNDS

All sounds are crappy in plasticky, totally unusable for a production worthy of the name. The only interest is in the control of machines with MIDI. The "keyboard" does not Velocity overdub recording, too bad.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a long time.
As I said above: all sounds are good for the trash, only the sequencer's worth.

Trs-connector audio summary (1out stereo + phones), no MIDI Through is not a luxury.
-Many sounds DIFFERENT, editable in real time (one of the great quality of the machine)
-3 Dpart effects catgories rank 3, a block rather dedi delay / distortion / EQ, another focuses on the chorus / flanger and a block for spcial reverbs
Squenceur 16-track, recording proves to be tedious, however many people it employs a squenceur software easily edit parts, each pattern is divided into "section" which can write diffrent 16 parts per track.

UTILIZATION

I can not speak of the manual I did Jamia possd but even without it I'm out trs well, however it is better to know a little of the universe or we just groovebox finds herself lost in the various sub-menus.
all basic functions are accessible directly faade thanks to eight pots (not very practical because it always leaves their position rel, regardless of the relative value which causes no jump trs natural ...)
However, the edition of possibilitr are rather crude, LFOs matrche poorly and are not natural trs again!
recording parts of the puzzle revlent head even though it is supposed to be simplified by the "step sequencer", the keyboard is really degeu, trs not pleasant ...

SOUNDS

Big weakness of the machine, rhythmic sounds too mtallique, too round, there's a passen qelque sounds provided on them by double-modulated (sounds when the 808 is worse than j 'ever heard, when the drum for help it looks like they have t recorded in a crate mtal)

synth sounds of the limit of unusable pads ridiculous bass lines degeulasses slobbery, impossible to get out something else that sounds hard it is reminiscent of a machine purely numrique. no edition features waveforms then forced to work deep sounds, it obviously costs less than a Nord Lead, but good nonetheless yamaha has accustomed us better (see pattern)

the reverb is cold and the stink numrique full nose, the effects the most convincing is the delay that allows twelve o'clock CRER many funny parts, ladisto I will not even speak when the flanger and company it is still that is not as bad ...

edition of the Veloci is fairly intuitive but since the keyboard does not recognize it can be a bit skeptical that level l. ..

OVERALL OPINION

I have used for 3 years, the base I t seduced by the price and the CHARACTERISTICS much larger than the groovebox, more's the only machine of its range of price that allows the preservation of these patterns on disk and import midi file standart tyoujours via the same medium

but good for the price you can honestly difficilemen complain, it offers lots of handy features for tech

East debutant but rather used as a sequencer / controller noon (the last a little CHRE the controller anyway ...)

About me if I buy but certainly not against it allowed me familiaris with the sequencer functions (although the best machine for beginners even when the computer is in my opinion!)

It is quite dcevante connections: Stereo output and just a headphone. no MIDI Through or between audio.
-But not many sounds or trs trs INTERESTED ditables.
-3 Effect modules correct.
A-EXCELLENT squenceur, probably the best hardware squenceur I could try to control that allows any equipment properly noon. The import *. mid files is very practical. Functions are trs edition and use many "live" is a rgal including the possibility of the mute mmoriser for instant recall.

UTILIZATION

Easy-take control (even when less than electribe), the menus are explicit trs.

SOUNDS

-The sound is the downside of this machine: everything sounds flat trs. Ms. filter does not catch the problem. damage.

OVERALL OPINION

I think it's an unbeatable machine to control a rack of sound modules or a sampler of scne and this is only for I use it. For cons I Do not plug jacks on it ...

-Sounds are my trsmdiocre and got all look up and down the octave. We quickly made the rounds I used 2 years yet! The grain is also flat.
- The squenceur is good and logical.
- The audio engine train is not too much to ask for disk requires.
- The buttons are super sensitive! I took it out often with super ultra gaff and 3 keys and 3 potentiomtres OUT!
- A lightweight jump occurs by linking the sections is not pretty!

UTILIZATION

- It works alone you quickly cool loops (for tech INTERESTED live it) but ke for a.
- The effects are quite numerous but not sound terrible
- The ke squenceur There's a good in this machine!

SOUNDS

- I play and compose Electro Big Beat and she soon tired and dgot! The sounds are really flat and trs all the same! Try frankly before investing! For the price of OCCAZ There's 10 times better.

OVERALL OPINION

In fact I have 7 years to try a lot of stuff and it is one of the most machines without Intrets. STRID I go but I really trsdu t and as a lot of people also (De-bugs dirty plans by playing careful scne those who play often enough!) .
But I still say I do not know but even more than any other default it because I'm me There's dj spar 10 months. Ke And now I have the perfect solution Mpc 4000-Reason-Drumstation

-1 Audio output. (So ​​no effects insertion.Dommage ...)
-1024 Trs sounds mean.
The FX-section slightly saves the rest. (3 paramtrable FX by pattern)
Squenceur-medium and unstable.

UTILIZATION

The-config is impcable.
-The functions are accesible trs (thank you in the 8 knob plastok of shit ...)
-At least: The manual is great fucking ...

SOUNDS

-You will love the sounds in your programs if you por the Nintendo Game Boy ...
-Worse than a, you die ...
-The FX are pretty good.
-I dtest all ...

OVERALL OPINION

-I for 4 years and no c ...
+-The Price
-Monk: sounds.
"I ssay a tap machine, and that the sounds really too bad ...
-The quality / price? Keeps your tunes and buy something else.
No. Prfere I break my leg than r'acheter this bullshit ...

1 stereo + 1 headphones (I use it)

1 MIDI in / out

y 'effects, but I would not recommend using it lol

exxxxcelllent sequencer! sequence of the must in my opinion, real-time grid + + step, very flexible, very powerful. Save it to disk

UTILIZATION

I use it as midi sequencer to control a computer with Kontakt, Live and Traktor for concerts. It works the thunder, I hesitate to buy a second, here!

SOUNDS

Ahahahaha sounds of this bike are simply despicable. It does not matter, because either way they go into effect vile!

Joking aside, I do not use the sounds of this bike

OVERALL OPINION

Solid, not too big, flexible, powerful ... the best sequence of the market hard for my taste (do not tell me about MPC), or perhaps Exaequo with the EMU ...

340 euros OCCAZ. The foot.

Squenceur intuitive, easy to use. many sounds, styles and a lot of effects. basically it's not bad!

UTILIZATION

It's simple, I had to open the manual twice. Nice, ca used as a playstation.

SOUNDS

Sounds. Here it's been polmiques I think. Should not be choosy so far. The sounds are good on this machine. I feel very lack of cache crativit derrire sounds of the machines. if you have any ides worthy of a sparrow, it's not the sounds that are involved.
That said, I'm not a fan of drum sounds. also, as it does above, the sounds must be triturated. but must sincrement arrter: bte the rings, and plutt not bad! be seen as any faocn is not its function Premire! then see how it comes, it's no use in crying

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since its psort (98) and by two buttons that clabier rponde trs trs difficult, I am relatively satisfied. Of course it's not top notch, but the shipment of wood BCAN. I love that it offers users many places, I do not like the sounds of percussions / drums.
The ratio quality price is right, even if it cost me a little expensive for the era (the price has dropped and most importantly, my purchasing power is not the same that There's is 6 years!)
I had almost nothing test before I bought this on a head shot, I wanted to make electronic music APRS jou have the batery and the sax for years and years. So for a Premire machine, it's clean!
exprience with e, I do not know if I would do this choice. because it must be noted that for 6 years, he had y'en machines in the vein with other benefits! but even when I keep it!

Complte a small machine for beginners: a sound and squenceur, surface CONTRL complte.

UTILIZATION

This machine has a standard benefit: its squenceur, trs use is enjoyable and intuitive, a great catch in short everything you need to dial. the potentiomtres rpondent well and are in sufficient numbers. the manual is crystal clear, a joy!

SOUNDS

Sound. This is exactly what is forgotten on this machine.

OVERALL OPINION

The RM1X is certainly one of the best hardware squenceurs the market easily transportable and trs enjoyable. (If you are not convinced, try both the MIDI delay!). I sold long ago since I switched to RS7000 (what a mistake) and friends continue to use it as squenceur and Controller.

I can not believe it

UTILIZATION

It's not a simple machine at first but in fact it is not, the head in the manual (it's just a numration functions, I saw better) for a month or two and that's good!
Y 'submenus and sub-submenus quickly but we know or go, it is very well organized I think!
A note bugs trs agaant noon (plus shipping desire to program change)!

SOUNDS

The sound is not Prou ​​but not death. (That everyone agrees that obviously!)
It's not the EMU, but agree it's OK!
Note that some believe they will do the classical and I do not know what with you whether due m'tonnes! (VCU on AF)
Unlike Shake prconise I use the effects, but wisely (it's a bit pdant but too bad, tired of everybody down!)

Often we hear that the sounds are clumps, or lack EHJV ben zi paste a distortion "amp sim" for example, put the drive in the mini (as the distortion is cheap) and the type of amp OFF, push the volume and distortion BEYOND, vienzi see, spa better?
That goes for the rest of the effects!
As someone said, is that the notching machine!

I put 9 just for fun to see up a little bar graph on the top!
But it's true that the sounds are very similar if not the trafiquent a minimum!

This machine is made for bass sounds with a layer with ocarina and percussion sounds, then you will not miss out!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years and I have no better test as squenceur up Submitted I hte tter of the RS7000!
The report price is average and quality is better mnager the knobs and pads by adding a keyboard matre.
Of mine who just four years PRS, including two in a box I have a key on the keyboard that fair and knobs that will soon do the same I think!

If I could afford I will not repeat that choice, I will pass on rs7000 no doubt, but as I have not thunes I Rasht tomorrow eyes closed!

There have a headphone output 3.5 mm audio output a 3.5 mm Stereo (Left / mono, right).
A MIDI In and Out.
Ente a footswitch on which you connect a few pedals to control function (start / stop, change the pattern ,...) by 3.5 mm.
You have 754 sounds and 48 drum kits, I think, but the sounds are not great (you worry tired quickly), so the best and aprendre a tease bte and after 1 or 2 months you ach te as an expander SH 32 (very good sound and you plant 128 bit CRER 128).
There are 60 preset style (you'll play 10 minutes and then you'll want to put you to the components) that you just do not change to 50 User Style (c is where it gets interesting).
You just fly prog (cubase, reason, live ,....) but there is no utility for RM1X.
You have a lot of very good quality effect.
And the game is a killer squenceur (very simple to learn and very very effective).

UTILIZATION

Pretty simple to use, only problem the record (in Chinese ca t'll have the same )

SOUNDS

In terms of tekno sounds are not bad at all but if you do seeing dan instrument is not terrible terrible.
The expression: not that good (AC shall have been more raliste).
Gnral but the sounds are good (a little too dry and too hot mtaliques)

OVERALL OPINION

It'll be a big month as I have, I maintenat well tamed and I dmerde well with.
Overall it is very well (I love me is what are the effects and the sequencer).
J'hsitait between it and the RS 7000. If the dough was not j'aivais hsitation I took lauras but .....
In any case OCCAZ is good for 300 euro you has something fun for months on end.
All going to rise.
Even if it has some default do not you think that price has mieu.
FYI there are many people who use well-known (Prodigy have pumped a sound factory, Aphex Twin is possible with free and I saw a guy 3Faz (no phase) pose with) so c is still had good stuff trs.
If I could I would take out a second for Bracher in master / slave + expander SH 32 and there is a way of tripe.
Well, not enough dough.

Finally though there was some small default this machine is a gem.
I advice you buy, the beginners for beginners it's a bit hard but quickly returned ca.
But if you have enough money (about 1200 euro and 900 nine ocaz d) take the RS 7000.
It has the same squenceur, 1054 60 drums kits but its most important Intgr sampler and the possibility of recording instruments and play them back.

I n yreviendrais not tt the world knows them

UTILIZATION

Frankly there's no easier, besides being blind, yet! in a few hours we are already able to CRER patterns!!

SOUNDS

Have !!!!!! And yes, those famous sounds! No need to stop saying frankly No matter what, even with the effects (which are not great either, apart from the delays and the rest bofff overdrive!) We come not to do sound, true! frankly if rm1x had sounds of a xl7, an d sh-32, or even a 505 mc, c t the Apocalypse would !!!!!!!!!!!!

OVERALL OPINION

So I continue the killing! lol. C is the best sequencer on the market today aya no doute.Il you just add a sound module and frankly, plus some knowledge of noon, you can do anything with, techno, rap, classical and even children's melodies! (And yes I also made up for my bb! Lol)
Srieusement, do not hesitate, this is revolutionary BCAN!!

They are known ...

UTILIZATION

Simple and ultra affordable
accesibilte easy menus (pot ... rotary nickel, no big wheels roland ...)
assignable effects easily and quickly

SOUNDS

Contrary to opinion bcp traveled .....
I found the bank not sound that bad!
with just an external compressor, vs going to bring out the color of the sounds of the machine!
good, it's still a rm1x, that s not the tool of his richest work on c but the sounds are basic and can sound good
the effects are average but in the evening with a good sound system, so most bcp better ... but hey, a plug-in effect of good quality dynamic bcp out ...!

OVERALL OPINION

The rm1x is still a "toy" ...
all the walking groove box including the box are hybrids for some mid mid sampler drum machine, these machines must be used in a more playful than professional .....
all these bikes have been created for the sole purpose of making the composition of electronic music accessible
monde.il a whole 10 years ago for the equivalent in function and sound that rm1x, there Fallais 10x the price and you had not n all in one!
I realized in a foullant may after all info on the stuff that used the most balèze of live electronic (chemical, daft, underworld ,....) all use a single function modules !!!!! EVERY apareil it has spots and the sounds come from bour synt sounds of their styles!! c in. the case of rm1x
In conclusion, I m with my finger since 1year rm1x and I m tired, but it must be kind of machine is used as a drum machine and not for an all in one!

The characteristics of the robot are known blue so I will not dwell on those below.

I found the section to use non-obvious effects, it can act simultaneously on a single effect, shame! The connection is to my taste a little "light" the volume of the headphone output can not be adjusted separately!

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is simple enough that it is difficult to quickly turn the basic functions. The manual he gave me good galley hard to find the topic that interests us but this is achieved. I put a note pout use for this machine is very useful as a MIDI controller for external devices.

SOUNDS

Sounds very poor (the main defect of this machine) but it does not matter to me since I use as a MIDI controller.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this machine for 6 months.
I really like the design, design, sequencer, sounds less like bcp.
I have tried a few models like electribe the Roland.
Currently the price of this new machine is more or less 700 euros today for that price you get the best bcp electribe like a lamp, but I bought it used for 250 neurons. this machine is an exellent cepandant groove box, but who is not exceeded the new technology. It's like even less becoup Gadget that Electribe low end. What I did not blame him a sampler function. If we do not tek the sounds with this machine can make a drum machine like Didier super include those who know.
With the experience for 250 euros so, I would do this choice, but not for 700!

UTILIZATION

- The general configuration is it simple?

Simple configuration, I use am alone am in sync live5 noon with a slave, to adjust it's my all just go to the utility menu and turned a knob: D

- The usual functions are they easily accessible?

For my part I find it easy in this machine and this is my first, I so can not compare but since I have no problem finding what I wanted!

The manual is clear and sufficient? ...

Manuel enough, on the other hand for me as a novice in the music I have trouble with technical terms but good in looking around on the net and asking questions on the forum it will be going out

SOUNDS

- The sounds they are suitable to your style of music?

I bought planks at the base to make live hardtek, the sound was nikel for this style of music except sometimes lacking in the bass tone but with little effect or a good table in its output goes.
Today I compose lives a little more style or ambient trance (I board not really defined the style I make weird right now lol) and it is thanks to her I started up the people !

- Are they realistic?

To see ...

- The effects are they effective and responsive?

The effects are felt but could be more violent!

- The expression is good? (Response to velocity, aftertouch to)?

Excellent

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?

Approximately 6 months maintenand

- What is so special that you like most and least?

Ease of use, you can create a small component in less than five minutes that's cool!

- Have you tried many other models before buying it?

Unfortunately the only one.

- How would you rate the quality / price?

Normal

- With experience, you do again this choice? ...

I think so but maintenand her big sister's output is rs7000 surment I would look about her, must move with the times lol

Impressive simplicity.
the best groove box
the sound is 100 percent good, passed through a filter can not have any more to compare it to real synth (besides, there are samples of Jupiter 6.8, emulated pwm came out with effects, even your cd player not better)

UTILIZATION

Done for all styles especially techno but you must know to find the right chords effects and other settings that puts a synth box bomtempie a galactic sounds killer

SOUNDS

Ca Defois the fact Defois non.mais coupled with a expendeur
Sh-32
-Virus
Emu-proteus
-A3000
...

OVERALL OPINION

Well it is formidfable a groove box.
and cheap super-simple: A Legend evidemment.une legend which has its Achilles heel: the sounds cheap but some people cold, but metal for technio perfect but it paid (since the price is low) enough invest in a sempleur esi emax or A3000

Output jack on 6.35 + midi in / out

sounds classics without surprises (if you know the synthesis yamaha) but some presets / sounds may very well go to a mix! (go in a little bit same effect ca be nice!)

audio effects section on the master effects section twelve o'clock basic (on each track), but real-time control!

real-time sequencer / step / overdub / midi event.Pas Intute but very very well done when it INTERESTED closely, become frighteningly low efficiency with a little patience and training.

UTILIZATION

They need this type in the first pages of chapters, it's a minimum! but once launched nothing can stop you!

the usual functions are common to various products from Yamaha (in the category sequencer / bar). Take a few minutes to read the manual diagonally!

paper manual very clear, deliver home in 3 languages ​​(english, french, german)

SOUNDS

Average sound quality (except some "pearls" was not to be missed), good variety of intruments, a few drum sets are really nice!

instrument sounds classics are unrealistic, an audio processing is advisable to give some life to this whole "cold"! against by the electronic sounds are very interesting, even with the audio effects of RM1x! (This machine is a racing machine in the fields of electronic music (House, Tech, DrumN'Bass, dance, jungle, ...)

expression is average, but the editing possibilities are perfectly adapted to compensate (see much more!)

OVERALL OPINION

I bought this machine on the advice of friends, and I have never regretted! There are at least 7 years ca (I do not remember exactly), it is the only machine that I never sold or replaced. It is virtually indestructible and the OS has planted only once (when redemarage all my changes were sauvgarder!) Over the disk drive is very useful.
I buy many other Bar / sequencer no satisfaction! MPC not only compete with the Yamaha even though they are not really in the same category. (and certainly not at the same price! RM1x 3900Fr I buy at the time!)

2 outputs L / R
1 headphone
1 between noon and 1 output
A footswitch jack

700 sounds, 20 tracks, 16 tracks faiut ..... all that to the big sound

UTILIZATION

No problme.c is my groovebox and srieux There's Premire March 2 problem but when you start reading the manual brves rsout every problem.

SOUNDS

A ***. ch
it's great damage, but even with good peripherals sound is not even see gnial mauvais.Le trs single default this box of course.

OVERALL OPINION

Squenceur this is not a toy or gadget as Ceratina think.
I use it to make electronic music and it's really good with trs Controller ral time, the effects, the groove ...

2 out jack
1 headphone
input for a pedal

In short, the bare minimum .... The effects on the master.

UTILIZATION

Nothing more simple, read the manual and just went c.
The manual is clear and complete.
C The problem that has to have to stop to record a pattern c and ca not practical to change and live the same compound for those who like to write in GRID mode. (Like me for the rest of the MPC g lol. ..=
The modes STEP, GRID, OVERDUB, REPLACE when you want to write have no opportunity to listen to another sequence like an electron or korg ect ...
If not for the live with real-time controllers c still okay.

SOUNDS

The sounds of Origin: horrible except for some rare exeptions.
It is imperative to have a filter or multi-effects hardware and more ...

Effects: apart from the distortion, overdrive and simulated tube the rest did not convince me.
This machine sends TOO SERIOUS. (done to equalize in the machine but losses while fishing)

OVERALL OPINION

In short if I could go back I make dessuite and without regret.

IT is a headphone output, output output, an input for a pedal and MIDI in out
16 track sequencer, memory capacity of 110,000 notes, 8 assignable knobs in real time .... etc.

UTILIZATION

It was my first machine.Le sequencer is more than great thanks to a screen very readable ago TElement sub mode that we could compare it to a computer so I just j gallery in the beginning but fortunately the manual is there. Then j I buy the Electribe SX and MX is nothing to do in two hours had understood the principle j (ca do not mean that it is bad on the contrary)

SOUNDS

The sound is probably sometimes a bit limited on the synths, but it takes a little fiddling with the effects against the bass of thunder are simple c I love them (at the same time I made the hardtek, so hardcore!)

OVERALL OPINION

LE +: Sequencer
The effects
The number of instruments
Price
LE: Sounds
Midi output THU
I have been using the just over a year but I can tell you to go there because the bottom has a sequencer like this at that price I sequence my c génial.Moi Electribe MX with c and c good delirium clear that this machine just any alone will not make you live an evil but when it is coupled with another of C MADNESS
If I had to redo this purchase j j wait and buy his sister RS7000!!

See below!

UTILIZATION

I did buy OCCAZ chang keypad contacts quickly enough that came back around 400 E machine 2 years ago. intuitive enough you still have to stick a bit on the manual: idalie feature packed for the product and live.

SOUNDS

This is a cot but I prfrais my MC 303 except that there are more sounds. too cold (I send in a pramp lamp and it is warmer) and the lack of ism dpend drumkit but what is research.

OVERALL OPINION

2 years.

the most:
good machine overall.
robust (except the keyboard!).
squenceur much screwed.
large plasma screen! (well, for an era c'tait djas rvolution)
ditions for performing functions such machines.

Cons:
output jack only. only 2 out Stereo (headset included) while 4 out spars have ts well in order to balance spar blocks in a difrent kind cubase editor.
the keyboard is not to everybody's hands (a few hours to live with a big Bourin him in control ensure a long life rev limit)

I used SP 505 / Roland MC 303 and other small samplers / squenseurs. in the same price range I have not beat cot edition.

Level connections, everything has been said I think .... The bare minimum for a BAR, but it happens. Except that well, it's not really a BAR, just a sequencer seen ... so that's how it makes sense ^ ^

Limited connectivity audio (L / R outputs + headphones ... no imput), MIDI in / out (no thru, too bad, but hey what kind of machine is designed to be the centerpiece of a set noon, so no big deal) ...

Rugged metal, but the knobs and buttons seem more fragile ... That said, within two years of transport (repeat / scene .. 2fois displaced at least a week), no I have yet dropped or showed signs of weakness. Knock on wood)
Light and easy to carry, it would in a small toolbox that we find in a DIY € 15, including foam, short ... practice.

The screen is large and clear ... never had a problem of readability
The floppy drive, always practical.

I put 8 in the plastic and the lack of usb ... But this is already old Bécanne.

UTILIZATION

One week with the manual to make the turn after it is relatively simple and intuitive ... and very complete.
The creation of phrases and patterns is simple, though sometimes a bit tedious in some cases large phrase .. Anyway I think that is the case with all hardware sequencers, it will never be the flexibility of a PC. RAS at this level

The 16 MIDI tracks available are more than enough to use that I have.

Patterns can be edited live. All react without latency niquel.
9 / 10

SOUNDS

The kit to beat> troubleshoots ca ... but hey, if you're looking kind of TR-808-909, go your way .... If you want to beat kits also realistic: p

Other sounds (synths, fx, strings, etc.)> I have known gsm sounding better: D
Good sound is clearly not the purpose of the machine, I do not use them ... there is virtually almost never had jacks behind my rm1x ^ ^
From time to time in the headphones to my sequences cushy home without having to plug in everything else ... it helps out again ....
It can not work in bringing the rm1x .. And that account ^ ^
Back in again, it midi cable to the expander and go with real sounds ^ ^

Short => 2 / 10 because it has clearly not been made for that .. but still 2 points for the next "utility" sounds

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 2 years soon, I was looking for a cheap sequencer and sound for my virus, and I must say it like this role very well ... At this point I am very satisfied. For use in a group, and coupled with expanders, it is perfect!
Alone of course ... It may be very limited to noise ^ ^

€ 300 bought new in a retrieval Musicstore home can be hard to beat at this price, the ratio Q / price is exellent, I do not regret my purchase.

With experience, I would resume probably something more complete, such a mc-808-8000 MV see one used, that saves me buying a lot of other add-ons (Xpander Drum Sampler, small mixer etc. ..), so do come back pe ultimately not really cheaper while increasing enormously the possibilities ... But it's not the same price range!
I intend to keep it a few times, can be a year. Eventually I would spend the next level .. but I do not know if I sell it (my first sniff sequencers anyway .... then saw its resale price ...: p)

In conclusion I would say that if you are looking for a sequencer effectively manage your electronic instruments on stage, the rm1x is ideal ...
If you are looking for a BAR, save a little and go see a line or two above

Level connectivity and data sheet to see the other reviews.

UTILIZATION

Me it is my simple Premire machine.
It's not too complicated but it's even more difficult, since (much) more complete than electribe example. But at 1:30 I played two months in 1 hour dj / 2 days it's all good. Soon we will become later in the machine. In contrast to the manual there was something important not well set obviousness that I had trouble understanding and changing all the possibilities of the craft. Providing exlications a friend does not superfluous. It is clearly made for use in live is his strong point. With squenceur trs effective. Any effects that can change quickly let trs CONTRL sound good will. With both hands you can always, with many opportunities to act on two things at the same time via two knobs. What we can not do with a electribe! knobs and active things like that there may be 11 (!) paramtrs and accessible any time ...

Otherwise the manual is clear and complete. I was even going I realized quickly making me late at night each time APRS A Day in taf ...

There's the mute button which I find too small, but hey I'm quibbling.

What I love is also the possibility of 5 Mute 5 pad memory accessible through any time, in real time right in the live ... Schematic recorded a track that is mute / unmute, and can be identified by a key. provides a good change everything, making good breaks, breaks and boom-cons go back in what turned forward (for example). Perfect for live.

Otherwise the machine seems solid.

SOUNDS

There are ways to have good sounds for electronic music (hardtek, drum & bass etc ...) but we must seek them among the 700 by adding sounds and effects in all directions. But there are ways.
Otherwise none of the traditional instruments do not sound really good, do not try to make music with traditional ...

OVERALL OPINION

It's a fucking machine for the price but is it vauit nickel for playing electronic music live. (For she hardtek foot especially with a simple sampler derrire directed midi is too good ....). Trs squenceur good live. EXAGRES level manipulation is not complete and 10 times more enjoyable than playing electribe (mm Most recent internship MX and SX), but the sounds are less well is sr.

I learned that I take up the play. I learned all its possibilities. I found the quality of its squenceur making it my main machine which I would add something else probably ending for the Sp-505. To reduce external samples.

The combinations of the 43 available effects are standard given the number of sounds that have been arranged, the combinations are endless ...
It would be a well liked arpggio electribe touch like the MX / SX I t bluff! But we can not have it all.

If c'tait again? I buy it back with eyes closed to OCCAZ for 250 - 300.
But nine ... 700 without sampler .... um ... no sr
(I tried the Electribe MX and quickly made the ES-MkII, I saw the work of Mc-303)
