All user reviews of 1/5 for the Yamaha RS7000

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.

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 ...
