All user reviews for the Yamaha RS7000

Hello I currently owns a 7000 rs that I find very well. I am the hardtek / hardcore / dnb
and I would like to buy other machines to complete I would like your opinion:

RS 7000
+
EMX1? Korg sequencer
+
BCF 2OOO MIDI controller
+
mixer?

what are you called ??

rs 7000 for good groovebox and put sample
the emx 1 adds good run sequencer
bcf in 2000 to be able to life a little easier
mixer for control of sound?

that's what your ke into called ??? thank you

Bases having the characteristics Adi t dcrites, I will focus on the main points of the machine.

USE

The RS7000 is a mix of A5000 of rm1x and pattern. So it possde many sounds of the pattern, characteristics of the sampler of the A5000 and the squencer RM1X.

With Last update of the machine, it is possible you to access a 20aine DIFFERENT filters, load samples akai via scsi and especially to edit the playing sequences (in TR mode, not in real time mode), the most important point.

We can not: adjust the sensitivit of 2 pads on the right, it is for the note against rgler its live pads.
During recording e, real time, you can not adjust the volume of the keyboard (the vlocit which notes sonts cheeks) it must be done after cost not step mode.
You have 3 effects send indpendants plus a master effect and master EQ very effective.
You can not memorize the indpendement cres patches, those are mmoriss with squence. no bank can therefore personal.
according rglages the Utility mode, there may be a "jump" during the sequence 2 squences as the RM1X.
If you use external expanders, unlike the rm1x, you must spcifier the exchange programs hard in the sequence.
compared the rm1x, the audio engine of rs is much better because it works in 24 bits and above, you have More synths sound banks, + drum sounds and surtourt sampler.
You can not edit the samples while the sequencer is running (but you can edit the filters and envelopes without problem), but not dcouper a sample during games).
you have 64 MB as well as a good way of beatslice

NOTICE GLOBAL

Ras

Everything is available below and across to AF.

The important point: the sound engine of the machine and all the onboard effects are digital.

Also here are a few of the many features that still inspires me after 10 years of service:

1. The integrated sequencer 16 tracks and game effects noon. This is a really good hardware sequencer. I've never tried to Cirklon but good old RS is very complete at this level.
Each piece includes 3 way:
The pattern mode with 16 sections (ie possibility of 16 different sequences per track) all accessible directly on the keyboard. Sequences can go (I think) up to 256 steps!
The pattern chain mode to schedule sequence of sections (that can manually enchainer "on the fly" in the pattern mode.
And the song mode. no matter.
THE sequencer contains a lot of options and twelve o'clock effects (swing, groove edit, play fx, harmonization, midi delay) including (also) an arpeggiator.
Well, almost everything in the machine "séquensable" and that's huge for a hardware sequencer.
Finally, it also allows to control other machines (2 midi out)!

2.La phenomenal amount of embedded, including the drum sounds sounds. Most BAR were sampled by Yamaha and in sounds available (see below for the sound quality). In hardware difficult to have a machine with many factory sounds. Note that the complete list is available at the end of the manual.

3. The large number of editable parameters allowing programming in depth and precise editing of each sound.

4. The large number of controls on the front and the possibility to assign to many functions and for those working on the excellent DAW implentation south of the machine.

ECs and some other elements (sampling, multi purpose ...) make a complete machine, comfortable living in and also live in the studio (possibility of installing a card separate outputs).

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is it simple?

Yes and no

Yes, everything is at hand, the screen is large, access to all functions is clear and you become familiar quickly.

No, there is much for each track editable parameters, midi and audio. So it's a fairly complete programmable tool that demand to dive.

Note less: the synth part based on the lack of samples without possibilty is sorely synthesis, modulation etc ... this is a detail, to the synthesis must be real synth ...
But if Yamaha unveiled the source code of the machine that quickly there would be mods or upgrades available, new effects, other swings, modulation possibilities, anything is possible ...

The manual is clear and sufficient?

The manual is 300 pages of a joke. It is often incomprehensible, but makes a few services ... in any case I like to read books ...
The machine is easy to handle for someone who is not a beginner. After it is always the same: you have to dive in ...

SOUNDS

The bike is digital: the sound generator, multi effect and reverb.

Overall I naturally cold, it is very far from the low end of a TR808, it has very little head room and lack of dynamic sequences dumoins when you load a lot.

Well, it means less live on a big sound system ...

And in the studio, with a good console and its dynamics harmonics and its treatment is much room for improvement ...

OVERALL OPINION

I have for 10 years, so this is a bit of a tribute I made it here. It was my first and only bike for months ... I made above the ear ... I liked and loved and abandoned again ... my config is good but I étofée ' there always came back ...

YAMAHA thank you for that.

YAHAMA is a leading manufacturer of studio gear. RS is no exception.

For a home studio already well equipped this machine is a MUST, given all the opportunities: Advanced programming and opportunities available.

The sound at first listen is "special" but once treated it shows its creative power.
Personally I use it a lot for rhythm and for that I pass in a moog pedal which I use only the circuit "drive" the entrance, there really sound off! She did not blush in the mix even face my e-mu sampler 64 which is a level beast ...

It is for me a great machine with a sequencer and many agile editable in depth and is a huge creative potential sounds.

Richard D James (Aphex Twin) does it is also not wrong:
https://noyzelab.blogspot.fr/2014/11/syrobonkers-part1.html

Given the price of Cygnus, I'll buy another one.

Afternoon: in, outA, outB, thru

audio: headphone, stereo, 6 separate outputs in stereo audio

sequencer: 1 pattern includes 10 section 16 tracks each, perfect to build his track so organized, one section for the intro, one for a break ..... etc.

the effects are not all good, however it is good practice and helps out.

optimal communication with other machines: control changes, program changes, automation of all controls etc ....

sampler 64 mo with time stretch function, slice, normalization etc ...

see manufacturer

UTILIZATION

frankly I made electronic music for 13 years and this is the best sequencer that I know, there is also the MPC (I had the 2000XL and 1000), but I think Akai is much more austere in its interface, yes AKAI pad is huge and very precise sequencer but I find the RS much more convenient, fun and friendly.

famous section is pure bliss for the work well done and organized many buttons that send CC, exchange programs ... well for me the perfect conductor to control all my machines and thus produce a live 100% machines (not computer)

not everything is simple in implementation but once incorporated many sub menu and mapping twelve o'clock nothing prevents you from doing what you want.

SOUNDS

sounds good internal to the machine is taken seriously getting old although much cleaner than his little sister RM1X, certain sound can troubleshoot, or even create some momentum in your composition, and yes when a drum kit is used a little cheap RS during a break or intro, the real controlled by the latter BAR will only further highlighted when it is necessary to leave the track and its tape.

for the sampler is more delicate (sampling from the machine), it does not ring but it takes a certain technique to remain faithful to the original sound, it is not uncommon to resume several times to get the its expected but nothing impossible, it's a bit of the case after leaving the event source, otherwise there is always the possibility of importing from a smart media.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it since 2004 and currently (2014) I do not see what could replace live to control a 100% machinery, all communication with other machines (send 32 channels) are possible and especially (I repeat myself) have become famous section irreplaceable me to compose a track.

Currently has the machine costs about 450 euro which is cheap considering what it has to offer, if you feel hot it is imperative to check the status of the keyboard that uses keyboard (yes I know) but also to mute and change section, the component to be replaced are rare but not found (starting between 50 and 70 euro) against disassembly by an RS-7000 is long and time consuming not to mention the de-soldering and re-welding of each key.

YAMAHA thank you for this amazing machine shame you left the race is on this sector for so long ...: (

Conditions:
Connectors: 2 midi out, midi in 1, stereo audio in and out, headphone, footswitch, until the all goes well, the o started going less well that's the same when scsi would have been be replaced by usb, yamaha has a gnration delay and scsi is the source of many bugs.
SmartMedia reader, format trs in vogue at the moment although somewhat coteux but I never had any problem with it and it's not too slow (even when a little)
Of knobs and buttons everywhere, this cot nothing wrong for the live is great
The screen is exactly the same as when there is a rm1x 2 cm glass inutiliss around ... it could have been much larger and readable which would not have t dsagrable edition samples for example.
And finally, two pads "sensitives" which unfortunately the sensitivity is not adjustable, making them useless little prs sensitivit for most users

Squenceur:
even when it will not until the last OS to be able to edit (and still somewhat soft Manire trs) squences the live ... What a machine to live seems the least we can do even when. Otherwise the squenceur rm1x that is the same, so trs with flexible and convenient, if one has the OS denarius, the ability to edit during the game and more. The only novelty is a button Appell "LOOP REMIX" which gnre variants of a sentence following presets rytmiques ... plain: it is a wizard who gnre composition variations (wagon, rolling, reverse ...) automatically, even bother to call yamaha has thought the lack of inspiration! Against him by the arpeggiator is the minimum possible and has not since yamaha volumes at times of the analog: no rhythm patterns. In fact apparently the mthode would be coupled with the arpgiateur loop remix function but it is definitely not intuitive and you could hardly call the composition of ca me, more research or hack, but it seems we can not really express an idea we have in head with these tools.

Synthse:
sounds and presets are varis effective, in fact it is still the same sounds that some effects of enriched rm1x sciaux but surely a better quality converter for the dynamics and bandwidth seem much better. Filters are formidable and dual filters have same t additions since the latest OS, this is the perfect cot. As against this only has one lfo by its speed and the envelope is not adjustable, so when we play on the envelope with the knobs, we play with the same rglages of envelope for a tablecloth for a percussive sound ... concrete terms the attack of a percussive sound is not working example.

Sampler:
The characteristics of the paper are also many samplers allchantes but in practice it is extremely limited. The function most intressante, and on yamaha which has the focus is the slice. It disose indeed full of algorithms dcoupe DIFFERENT quite effective, but the first dj black spot: Can not be dfinir dcoupe same points. Then all these algorithms do not replace the lack of possibility to have a loop or timestretchant pitchant automatically the tempo.
Otherwise, the sampler is minimal and has only two modes: pitch to play a sample of all the notes of the keyboard and play kit for a sample by rating, that's all. No layers, no keyrange, no individual rglages envellope or starting point, not even the possibility to read a sample backwards! Each variation of a sound in a drum kit for example should be resample, and when we see that the basic memory is expandable up to 4MB and 64MB although we realize that a lot has limited the sampler from a veritable sampler rack.

Effects
Yamaha Faithful to its reputation is on this point, the effects are numerous and of very good quality. Personally I'ma fan of their distortions and effects yamme surralistes quite surprising to see! For against what is extremely damage is that is not really free to choose utiliss effects at the same time: a variation (phaser, distortion, or low prs n ' anything really ...), delay and reverb.
Otherwise it should be noted the effect on the master that is efficient trs and even daring: we put a little distortion on the master instance, which will delight fans of hardcore and industrial sonorits. The most surprising effect on the master is when the same ring modulator! Otherwise if your more conventional, multiband compression is very effective.

Software
The OS is fairly stable, the only crashes I have had t with scsi (classical)

Oh yeah a little caractristique that fall within any CATEGORY but will render more than one hammer: there is no volume for the metronome that is either up or blow!

UTILIZATION

Everything is simple to use, share the functions of edition ("JOB") of which are quite dense squenceur but we found it trs quickly with a little practice.

SOUNDS

In my case, this is what I prfre in this machine because I am big fan of distortion and for that the RS is efficient trs. For industrial and hard sonorits c a must I think. One can also have more rounded sound but fans warm sonorits may be somewhat due.
If not for the game, as I disai above, the pads are not sensitive rglables not actually trs practices.

OVERALL OPINION

In fact I possde this machine for 6 months, I bought one before because I AVAT rm1x connaissai and I thought the A3000 and regain a little of both in the RS. But since Yamaha has announced that he would not go over major updating of the OS I think srieusement resell. Indeed there are still some bugs that are signalsrgulirement on the mailing list and especially do not want this machine promises in my opinion the sampler considering its price. Indeed, even staying at yamaha it is possible to have a configuration much more interesting to work REALLY sounds for the same price by combining a rm1x with a sampler, the only feature missing is a rm1x the edition for the game but it is so inflexible that it is not as efficient as could be ca.
Besides, I think this is the finding that one little gnral do to this machine: it could easily be much more effective if the OS had t more complete and better studied . We really feel that this machine has t output in a hurry to counter and Roland MC-909 as it has on paper particularits little prs equivalents on paper for a price but in fact less minimalism of the sampler that the RS is much less pro.
What is more annoying in history is that technically it could be really effective when trs same, but I think Yamaha does not implmente certain functions because the count implmenter in future machines more luxurious and expensive ... RS buyers may feel lss by trade policy yamaha.

Oh and then for RS that arrettent not to plant, I on the suspected scsi ... it must dbrancher of this is possible because it works poorly trs.

Stereo outputs
MIDI output and B
46 battery kits
800 sounds
squenceur intuitive
effect module (one hundred, three possible at the same time)
gneraux effect module (on lasortie Stereo)
section with mastering compressor, equalizer (3 bands snif)

UTILIZATION

The manual is crap.
the teaching is not the highlight of Yamaha.
APRS, when you know, we advance a pace because it is too phnomnale the foot of tune all these buttons ...........
too practical and intuitive!

SOUNDS

It is true that the sounds of rcuprs rm1x are nazes
but the new ones are terrible
and with the effects over the compressor gives good!

OVERALL OPINION

I've had nine months and after three months my tracks (minimum teckhouse) have chosen t
by two labels
g had nothing but compliments on the sound
but less on the construction as it takes up such a play live
that we do not use the part on the length squenage (chui fnant)
o imprcisions few.

Résumé: CRER can track and record a 1-hour all-inclusive.
What could be better?

See below

UTILIZATION

It is in the technical specifications, o dbouche practice hurts the bottom: I have - never - had a machine, or simply be ddi music as little reliable than this shit !!!!! RS7000 he plant, bug, and those, better than Windows 95! a horror. April 12, 2003, I jou for 30 minutes with. Why 30 minutes? mouarf, I have a pt lead after the 3rd crash, which forced me to press "stop" and (re) "play" every time! And yet, I have this lucky day t l. few days before selling it to me square described a "fatal error", forcing me to dye and ralumer (it's not the very first time)! How it happened? haha, I returned to the kitchen, and I look! and ottoman, he seedling! heuu I prcise, nothing turned the now !!!!!!! yamaha thank you! so on the green and not mrs! Otherwise, set by the operating system (1.2) is much more than a couple Bugu anthlon/kt133/winMillenium is - guess - standards possibility of "bte" (which the day will be held o the bone the way). MIDI effects trs interrassants as radicals and musically interested, a squenceur with features that allow us to move easily from the software, not left for shipping - no, that is when you have swelling will enter a phrase with such control change (trs swelling). The ergonomics of diffrent functions on the faade is as well thought as trs tidy. Example, the same night he o plant 3 times I played in the dark edge of the visibility: it makes no false manoeuvre.Je even when - 2 - as a note, because the machine Likewise it is a monster on paper, and will be with an operating system that makes sense ... But - 2 - precisely because of its rotten Systm up the bone, which does not operate the machine 100%. To say that I turn it on ds, I freaking handle ... Sr if it is to mumuse home, it does not matter.

Although sr, the Service APRS sale Yamaha has found nothing wrong with ... normal!

Mourf, I know someone uses it on scne ki, he changed his pattern alone .. drle too!

SOUNDS

To brief on the presets, either the effects or sounds, these are just the factory presets. We must put our hands in to leave something interresting. but the TRS has become interesting. I find the effects of saturation of the RS fairly radical, musical, or as rglages, carément devastating! nothing to do with gadgets that are called "saturation" or "overdrive" that are often found in other synth. Not forget that Yamaha also makes pedals for guitar that good reputable ... The party has a synth synth vritable Intgr. 3 envelopes, an LFO with possibilities that go far beyond what has t done before in the same CATEGORY machine. The filters are not against all "homognes". I hear by the 24dB/oct Low Pass is simply a pest SETTING THE rsonnace leve, l or the pass-band seems ridiculous! Mind you, it's not so bad a, a contrast can sound them. I do not really explored the bank's, but apparently, something for everyone. My area is techno, dj, and I must say that there a lot of things to do with the sounds on offer. Moreover, a lot of sounds, especially in the sfx, aisemment can find a place in a lot of DIFFERENT style of music. Part interresting sampling provides functions such as r-chantillonage. You will say, "what sampler does not offer this feature." True, but the o has become useful is What can read in the same squence of files of any frequencies. This is not the case with other software squenceur same rputs ... The RS possde also a group effect Matre, who are simply effects ins rs on the main outputs. will have to play with such a low-down on all the sounds coming out of the main exit.

OVERALL OPINION

For me, the current price relative quality of this machine is 2 / 10. Why? I ask because first and foremost a musical instrument, bin is precisely the fact that I can make music with! With the RS, no way. There was not a session without there is a crash, or some bug! MARRE, dj What is not gat with the software (even if it manages small small), if the hardware is as if I VAIT end up playing the mandolin! May be that now, Yamaha has released a new OS that is not shit like version 1.2. Why a shit? haha, with version 1.14, I had less crashes! even if after two hours of use, I experienced its first crash! ah, I remember, it is blocked on the squence in progress, and nothing can be as n'tait games: cut off, lfo, effect level, nothing was ! only thing to do: on / off switch!

This is the kind of product dgoute me to slam the money ...

I'm not all that rpter adj t words, starts well connatre the bte.
The connection is sufficient (for the map outputs spares is almost superfluous, do not buy it unless you really need in your studio). A good place for two MIDI outputs. The only regret is the lack of a USB (SCSI is deprecated nowadays). For the transfer of samples between ordinary and RS, would have simplified handling.
Gnrateur The sound is of good quality, the sounds are of good quality and quantity apprciable, although not exactly original (but sufficient for a typical electronic production). The sampler is basic (you can not stack samples) but effective. Sufficient in many cases.
The effects are many and we can say that this is one of the strengths of the machine (distortions, a real rgal!) With squenceur. Too bad we can not change the effect of assigning blocks Chorus / Delay and Reverb. T have three variations prfrable.
The effect is an excellent IDE Master, although not compltement implementations (AIM I can save SETTING THE effect with my pattern).
Equalizer is available on each track, as well as the Master. What to do without a console.
The squenceur is undoubtedly the matress pice of the machine. East Pattern and frankly it is well thought dowry full MIDI time rel (Unison, Octave, MIDI Delay ...) that s'avrent handy and can express crazy (you can really do improvisation with a machine like). Only regret: the polyphony limit 62 notes (soon enough if abused MIDI effects).
The MIDI implmentation is perfect! We can do ANYTHING. Cubase can go get dressed!
The arpgiateur is the only downside to the machine. More basic than a, you die! A forgotten. Well liked and I also have more rglages on ADSR envelopes (not adapted tjrs all sounds).

UTILIZATION

A little difficult to CASC to beginners (it's like you put in the hands Cubase! Fo a little getting used to), the interface will be well thought rvle in the end. Everything is easily accessible, there is the import of samples that could be done a little better (the preview samples would not be the luxury Mr Yamaha!).
The manual is acadm trs, trs not clear. Nothing is missing, but some points have to be dvelopps (I saw one or two Describes information on a single line in all 350 pages of the manual !!!).

SOUNDS

I talked a little above. Nothing wrong, sounds suit every producer of electronic music (broadly defined: hip-hop, techno, exprimental ...). The ism, well we can forget (pianos, guitars ... not a c, but not c trs useful given the target audience). But there tjrs the sampler if you short of your ism (although it does not allow all).
There is no keyboard, but the squenceur gre all that is possible in MIDI. The term is well rendered.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been three months now that I have and frankly I regret not buying my (1300 euros new! When I see the diffrence in price with the MC-909 ki better gure does ...).
The squenceur is a real massacre (c ke the RM1x the same and I never seen better)! Sounds like me enough (I use even less and less samples because I m'aperois adj almost everything she kil for).
My only real regret about the machine in the end: the Smart Media card reader. I have never seen a player as slow! To save a file weighing 20 MB, I fo about 10 minutes! While on the computer, 2 minutes is plenty. Fortunately, loading bcp is shorter (2-3 minutes for the same file). But is more convenient these days than SCSI.
Nanmois as the face of competition (MC-909, MPC-4000), the machine possde an excellent qualitprix. Ms. consquent with a larger budget, I would not buy anything else (I tested the MC-909 before, and I do not believe t ... except for faders, handy!).
Apart from an RS9000 can be ... O)

PS: the machine is rpute have a lot of crashes. Personally, I've had one or 2, ki in three months of intensive use is low. Is just a little bug is annoying ki and everyone has observed: a small loss of sync when changing style (luckily, the 16 patterns of each style can not change it too).

Is not as simple machine! eten same time we immediately find every day. The simplest is to do like me, you bed your manual while trying on the machine and in two days you mastering dja well. -The squenceur is possible with several simple mode (grid or time rel) and the screen can quickly understand what is happening. In addition, sound samples are directly assigned to give MIDI and play and pouvent squence such as the machine mixes and can be any effects of other sounds. Level between-is actually quite banal: Stereo line in, line out Stereo taken casque.srieusement the handling is super and fastoche rsultats poustoufflants! !

UTILIZATION

The R7000 has hundreds of midi sounds grouped in banks (synth classics, bass, drum kit ...) that are fun to complete. against by the sounds of intruments rels, type piano, violins, flte, ect .. are not super ralistes, from the effects if you use the machine to drown the cot a bit too "synth. wholes-trs sounds are clean and bright and full drum kit trs.

OVERALL OPINION

This machine is exceptional and Exceeds by far his rival in clbres aka ... or rola ... . on the other hand is true that we must pay the price (when you love it does not count), but the rot could be one of musicos tube with this machine (I know something!) So take this for think as an investment or simply as a folly to have fun. e must be added the cost MDIA smart backup (about 50 les128mo). -For the simple composition, the rs is more than enough, no need to sinth supplmentaires or keyboards, samplers, or not need sound card ... just an external drive to put the sounds on CD. From the moment you want to record songs, you need another type bcanne studio numrique 4MB of memory because the factory does not suffice carrment. -Personal, I have friends who have the MPC2000 or the mc900 and they drool in front of my machine, so I still wonder why such a success with his other machine in the field of electronic zic. tatnt in frank, it's true that the sounds of rs sounds a bit "cold" than those dernire (especially the drum kit mpc) but when I go into pre amp on my table mix it is nothing. basically, this machine is for you if your dja musicos the basis that you composed and AIM CRER pice of all your songs and have a smashing rsultat. if you are accustomed to four sampler as a piece and adding a beat to ... continue to play with mpc voytre

The RS7000 is a machine since trs complte habrite a squenceur complete a sampler synth and effects. the connectors are trsrduites bases and an expansion card is highly recommended.

UTILIZATION

use this machine is enjoyable trs, edition of the notch is wide and clear, there are many potentiomtres, the keyboard is easy to use and DIFFERENT ways of s satisfy the frequency of a particular habitus mthode.

SOUNDS

This is the weak point of the machine, it does not ring! the synth is horrible and unusable, the sampler is clean but chantillonage filters and effects are of low quality prfr they rely on the quantity and quality as the one for honntement machine supposed to do everything, it trslger.

OVERALL OPINION

I sold this machine a few years ago because the sound n'tait really not up to my expectations. it is a machine complte, simple to use, but manufacturers have forgotten the essential yamaha: the sound!

The RS was released at the time with a connection "old" (SCSI, not USB), so diffficile to be compatible with the computer world in 2004. If you buy the basic version, you can count on options (increase the memory up to 64 MB, add the map of separate output ,...). Good all-inclusive with the purchase, almost y'en for 1800-2000 € (well I think because I bought it in 2001).
Big bank sounds (it sounds rather cold so yamaha), 64 MB samplers with the extension (over 7 minutes in mono sound 16bits/44.1 khz here leaves room to see ahead), and of course the internal sequencer. I also want to add an additional use as possible to the bike, midi controller. and yeah this bike is so damn good you can drive anything with! DEMONIC ...... I pass the details, but basically you can do anything with this machine.

UTILIZATION

So there, there's pros and cons. I have 6 months before you understand the spirit in which it must be used after this course, you scopes creations. This bike is just incredible. Then I hear those who will say, yes, but the sequencer is super reloud to program, I say ok, there's no usb 2.0 and everything, I still say ok, There's only two touch pads c is small compared to an MPC, again a point.
But I say to make a pattern, you choose among the hundreds of existing loops, you apply them to any of 16 MIDI tracks, with any sounds or samples, any time in the piece, in changing the pattern as you want. I say that the live, it gets crazy.
And here is that the loop mode, you put yourself in song mode, and there you sequence what you want as a conventional sequencer (I pass characteristics, but I tell you right now, it's very heavy ...) add to this all the parameters real time, it is very simple, I think 90% of the Bécanne is controllable in real time. We can obviously control everything via MIDI in real time.
So what? you always have the same opinion. If I tell you that you have two touch pads (like MPC) and you can assign samples on small black and white keys. Still not convinced ... Go, the coup de grace: the tempo of the Bécanne is assignable real-time "tap tempo". So the musicians who play in groups, they say what?
As for samples, frankly, who y'en choosy because I use samples I've done live, and I tell you right away, without machines that warm sound, c ' is the big sound. plus 7 minutes you can sample in mono, 14 stereo, there's a margin ....

SOUNDS

For sound, it is clear that the RS is average, except for electronic kits that are simply enormous. In fact, you spend all in a preamp or QQC which warms the sound and rhythmic slamming you against ... For the synthesis itself is too simplistic for my taste: amateur synthesis on your way. For low, some leads and pads "as is" with some experiments: is terrible, especially when warm sound. Some sounds are great, others nazes, matter of taste. I want to say that when I bought it, I knew that it sounds in the yavait Bécanne: agréble surprise nonetheless ...

OVERALL OPINION

What a machine that has not had the success it could have for those who had missed, you can still catch up, it is still for sale ... When I buy, I wanted a sequencer and a sampler, an MPC what. and then the gray machine with big buttons and the name of the jet, and I tested. I had the direct flash. J'me'm saying, well well There's the sampler, there's the sequencer, there's the sounds, there's the touch pads, there's the sorites 2 midi out,, there's at least 20 knobs . There I said to myself, this is a good Bécanne hiding his game And yeah, you want a machine that sounds, it's not great overall, except for the kits, bass and certain leads and fx, but if you Bécanne definitely want a live, it's just what you need. It's simple, for now I have a synth noon, if I had five more, I think that is the RS, which controls all while keeping me some parameter to control myself same. This is the nerve center of my studio .. For fans of live music electro in general: when are you going to buy it?

PS: I still have the first OS I 0 bugs since I have ...

For a system that type squenceur / sampler: this station is a "turnkey" one branch and it produces sound.
There are two audio outputs, a MIDI IN, MIDI OUT 2 outputs, a standard sound bank, (1054!), 63 drum kits, a polyphony of 62 notes (a real orchestra). In short there is plenty to do!
was not enough? So be it!
The part that synthse possde an ADSR modulates the shape of the wave (and yes, it's the Wave table), a filter ADSR, LFO ....
For squenceur: it's simple, it is wonderful: you can make sentence of 256 steps! There are 16 possible variations for each pattern.
The MIDI implmentation is complte.
As for the filters: monstrous low pass, high pass, and notch, the low pass / high pass (2 frquences cut with a parameter of the distance to Spar at the cutoff frquence! Version 1.02 and +)

In terms of functionality and CHARACTERISTICS, it took the I do not see what we can do better ...

You can put the days of OS RS7000, which adds new features.

UTILIZATION

Usage is quite simple: the interface is well thought out.

We can talk to this machine, difficult to use scroll. I mean by that is very easy to produce a quickly loading all of its banks lends.

on the other hand, if you want to get into the bowels of the "bte" to get the original sounds, or if you want to drive the machines that have no MIDI implmentation and g rer of automation by NRPN, or grate the vnement by Sysex ... is taking longer, but it is certainly not feasible for the RS7000!

Loop remix mode allows you to make changes in the flight loop. The Groove, once well matris adds a human touch and deal very easy and quickly.

As for the manual, it is rather basic but adequate.

We regret only a small "Preview" that would cost the sound before importing them in the sampling.

So yes it is unnecessary function "gadget" as Roland D-beam. But then quickly, waving his hands in the air, to the pileptique in public ...

Go, 9 / 10 (because of manual paper which is not of good quality ...)

SOUNDS

Can be very easy to make low power type "Drum n 'Bass" with Unison and the LFO. The kicks are ample basis for techno, and if a wrong, you can always spring collection outdoor sampler.

Some think that the sound sounds too mtallique. I say that sounded too clean or too cold.
As for those who say she has a bad sound ...
Well, you know the old story of bad workman who accuses his bad tools ... (Laughs)

The filters are trs (or too powerful): Imagine that you can act on a spell bass / treble with a Q, which can increase up to 32 db suplmentaire more assignable filters per voice, over the filter ADSR over the filter-General for the end ... (The compressor: a masterpiece).

For filters, I have not heard more on a machine of type "GrooveBox".

OVERALL OPINION

That, to me, the best investment to make live techno.

I sound since 1997 and we were not hurt small machines in our "tribe" (MC 303, Electribe ES, ER, EA, RM1x, SP505, MC09, RM1x, DX200 ...) and that, For me, the best investment to make live techno (trance of the Hardcore).

It's been a while since I stroke his knobs and I never rsussi the block in terms of functionality and its (still the sound or monitor speakers who "crack" before ... )

For if you are against investing in this type of machine, a budjet prvoyez to buy a device for transport.
Also remember to date the OS to have more impact. Consider investing in strips expansion memory (32MB is sufficient, unless you want to sample songs entires ...).

The output extension spars is not really useful unless you plan to invest in a multi externality and a mixer.

All fawn, what matters is the fawn to use it!

- 1 MIDI In, 2 out. 1 Stereo pair of origin. Addition of 6 outlets supplmentaires and an output between coax and optical numrique in an option card.
- Not far from 40 kit rhythmic sounds normment bank ranks (bass, pad, synth, fx, etc ...) but a lot alike ...
- A master effects section available only on the main Stereo pair. Otherwise, on each track there is a reverb, a delay and a choice of fx at 100. This will be the same on all tracks of a same pattern.
- The squenceur is the rm1x, so style / section (a similar pattern, 16 per style) / phrases (16 per section). IDAL I find it to be structured.

Not enough time rel East, however at the squenceur.

UTILIZATION

- For the config, the manual is our friends, bte do not tamed 5 minutes.
- The menu structure is clear and prints directly on the machine.
- The manual is rather taking head.

I AIM a little more features in the shipping of samples, especially a better zoom.

SOUNDS

- For sound, there's everything: the good and bad, all in large numbers but with a lot of similarity of the other. But in any fawn, sample it ...
- Sounds are typs electro, not practitioner.
- Both the master effect is powerful, as the effects per track are less convincing. For cons, the effects are effective twelve o'clock, note the delay.

The sampler is transparent. What comes is what comes out, no more, no less.

OVERALL OPINION

- I use it for a month, but jen dj possd have a prs for a year.
- I like the timing loops in tempos samples, filters, delay noon, the master FX.
- This is the only sampler I tried squenceur.
- I find it a bit when CHRE Similarly, the ram and the multi-output card bills rising well ...
- I would do this choice, I'm Sparer of an era and I've taken ds as I could.

Plus .... the trouble to say

UTILIZATION

In hard, there's more?
It might be the MV-8000, very practical but it did not convinced that ca

SOUNDS

This is the weak point of the RS, trs good DRUMS, of FX madness, trs good effects for a few synths are good, but a plug is welcome

OVERALL OPINION

I use the sequencer from 4 / 5 years, I test all the sequencers HARD apart from Akai and nothing other than the RS7000 has convinced me, Nothing is more convenient to live there already enough notice, I come back here the number of pictures!!
