All user reviews of 5/5 for the Yamaha RS7000

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 ...: (

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

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 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!

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!!

Everything has already been told I will not add
c bomb

UTILIZATION

I am a fan
after having in hand a rival mc 909 I sold D elsewhere
are not any pictures you peus change even when its running and then the selection system Partern is really the most pure ball por live and the creation
good j admits to slow to understand, but c was there that I had first Becane hands and spent 5.6 years on
j and now comes easily to do what I want

SOUNDS

For my part I adore the sounds
m ennerve and when they are criticized for the potential of Bécanne peus you really had to sound very basic has a powerful kick or synths sufit it more than adequate to reach the ear and the work
and set c
missing can be a good apregiateur
but otherwise it was all under the eyes and fingers on the button
and you can really make all your patern switch on the side of a dark shot wheel

OVERALL OPINION

I will do it about 5 or 6 years I used the
and I would not really separates m even after having tasted a mc 909 which for me is much less oriented to live and did lead to what I wanted to stop I were not being saved to stop so that with my rs7000 I'm always on my back and I play different scenes and c in the box I save
c for me a lethal weapon

Hello everyone s'intressent PRS or far this machine: that is it's been a while since I use the sequencer and I DPOS a mixed review on some points ... on the sampler and the sounds of plants .... While it is true that I do not use the internal sounds normment although there are a few worth the same when dtour, I go back to the cot where I put the sampler judge a little too early, frankly it rocks! in fact it ROCKS HARD! I misread the potential of this machine. and only now do I realize. (Better late than never) I balance the sounds of my DX Drum Machine in the RS and I made the comparison of the two.

Rsultat: the sound is identical, though, I took a lil Dcibel mdium at the output of the RS to make it kif kif.

on the other hand I advise you to get the expansion card to sample via the optical input ... the sound is pure, and I dropped us from the analog to lose the quality and the potato.

The RS is a true war machine to live, and believe me, considering the price at his side, you are not likely to be dcu.

Cot effects, Dlay are really nice and small reverbs INTERESTED.

Live effect on the master quite fun.

greetings to all the happy owners of this BCAN!

I did not put 10 because I have enough t's to see that the RS7000 does not pass MIDI Time in CONTRL especially when one wants to slave in cubase sx .... can not becaufe a and cubase is not external midi clock as hers so I think Reason is my friend again for the main ... rs parcequ'avec Reason turns a nickel

UTILIZATION

So I read it all silent and silent complte changed during the game ..... bin and my impressions after two days is total madness .... well I never try the compression Akai and Roland, but as well used to the VST, Cubase and Reason, I fell off my chair carrment cry nervous ....

This is all that can be maddening paramtrer live ... it's even surprising, and I appeal that the mode pattern ...

The addition of grooves in sentences cres make endless possibilities .... o finite time I changed all my Patteri the mouse in a VST or Reason ... s were all on hand .

I just read the manual before it was for real on the Yamaha website (thank you Yamaha for the impatient) and must say it's pretty complicated but normal given the opportunity.

Otherwise the manual is effective srieux and trs.

SOUNDS

I knew she was silent for much electro, techno, drumnbass .... bah is not a photo ... But for the rest as dub, ambient and other styles ... it's really not ba wrong and yet I have only skimmed over the examples of the memory card full of examples of songs.

The factory sounds are simple and require that be reworked with the arsenal of modifications and refinements possible .... A real rgal!
The effects on the master are not bad ... the compressor is really good ... it does all sound

OVERALL OPINION

- How long have you use it?
I've had two days and I have made dj dreams per night
- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
I love being able to do everything in the edition of sounds and ease of utiliss grate the song at the same time, a pure joy .... I parcontre the AIM cubase to run through a slave but unfortunately it is not possible ....

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Premire machine like this to me ... but try not need to know that the rest is pure killing

- How do you report qualitprix?
Aieb2 with a card, a 64MB SmartMedia card and 64 MB of RAM and more ... bin adpasse Miles euros ... but hey, it's on I do not regret the investment and I do that was happen one day ...

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

It's been a while since I waited for giving me this wonderful ... I made the forcing when I saw that production stopped and silent that I might pass ct. ..

I think it is with the exprience we must ask how we could do without it before ...
Edit APRS 4 years of use:

I will never sell this machine. Production capacity or play on Live are standards when used as squenceur.
Weak points are the sampler and the internal sounds. My samples a few years old, yet zip archives on disks, is dgradent. There is an old dphasage as noise over time dtruisant all pieces made from samples.
The quality of the internal sounds really mean, at least if we want to get out of the big bass or layer with a tural depth.
Of drumkits in synthse t would sound really gnial. The samples is a little weaklings.

But as mentioned above, the RS7000 is essential when you taste its quality squenceur.
The management of 16 MIDI tracks rpart on 16 midi channels gives wings any multitimbral synth, electronic drums, etc ...

Everything has been said, it is complete

UTILIZATION

Fun but quickly master the rs should hang over the hours and hours, you can really do everything with the manual is well designed.

SOUNDS

The sounds are working and they become excellent, the effects are customizable, and some are really at the top, also the same for reverb delays, the LFO is adjustable grapiquement a killing, you can really sound out on top.

It'll soon be three years I have, it is super strong I made a lot of evenings, it is possible to do a live with her (though if possible), I have nothing to complain, I tried the old and new korg, heard the sounds of mc and complexity of use (I'm gonna m'faire enemies lol), honestly the rs is an excellent machine, in my config for a perfect view live, have access virus or lead north and ...!!!!! 10 j'met not because it's Up there is still no better sound quality but it is on prices that have nothing to do with the price of this machine

I make a good edit of what I said two years ago:

CHARACTERISTICS All are easily found on the internet ...
Wholesale: 16-track sequencer, sampler, 1200 sounds, backup media cards Smart and all the connections necessary for a workstation. (In fact it is better to have the option to have the AIEB2 optical outputs and separate outputs ...)

Basically it is a Pattern expander.

UTILIZATION

The general config is pretty simple if you have already used this type of device.
functions are easily accessible and the LCD screen is large enough to be clear.
the manual, like all the manuals, will insist for three pages about what we have understood the first time, and summed up in two lines complicated functions found! (But at least it's in French!)

SOUNDS

I criticized the sound at the time, but eventually spending time to change something you can get out of a lot. For tranceux I still advise having a real synth side. (Virus in my case, it perfectly complements the RS).

the effects are good but it is a shame to select only three per song ...
the compressor is pretty rotten, you can not change many parameters. It can serve as backup if we use the RS one but that's it.

The micro keyboard is very useful for more than two years that I have the machine, it still works perfectly. (Edit: well over time I have bad contacts in three keys, it gets boring ...)

I find that the arpeggiator is rotten, I preferred that of my MC 303 ... (I confirm that it is rotten, compared to the virus, there is no picture!)
the sampler is pretty simplistic, but sufficient for what I do.

OVERALL OPINION

I have since February 2003.
I love the sequencer (I only use mode "song"), it is convenient and the capacity is ample. You can create a song very rapidenemt, c enorme.
Congratulations also to the many BPM knob and the display separately.
before him I had a MC 303, 700 and a QY EX7. It remains in the Yamaha method, which I find very well.
For a device that performs several roles (sampling, sequencer, tone generator) is perfect.

red card for the arpeggiator and safeguarding Smart media, (they are rare these damn cards, it is necessary to stock up!)

I bought it new and Euro 1700 with 64 MB of ram, I think it was worth compared to the rest of the production. (Edit: c always true. I regret not taking the option AIEB2, and now we find almost more ...)
I highly recommend, especially now that it is affordable opportunity, and for those who wonder if it is still sudden, I say YES!

I'm not ready to part with it, except maybe for a Motif ES in order to save space by having RS + keyboard in the same machine. (and with the ES MegaVoice bonus ...)

So there will go for it!

I MET THE EXCELLENT CAR IS WORTH IT!

Sequencer, arranger, remixer, multi-effects, sampler, 64 MB RAM optional, separate output expansion card (for the optical sample is good!), Can upgraded the beast with internal mods! midi in and out A and B

Memorandum on smart media (yuck ...) or external hard disk SCSI optional 2 Gb detectable by the RS (quite rare to find the right)

-16 Tracks plus 2 pad velocities, 256 user phrases per style, 256 samples for a live or composed of 64 styles max, 124 notes polyphony of the sequencer and tone generator 62 ratings, 256 steps max

-1054 Sounds original 5980 sentences internal 132 events (100 variations, 25 delays, 12 reverbs) master effect 8 types, master equalizer 4 band tracks and 5 different

UTILIZATION

-first it is necessary change the OS kernel v 1.0 by 1.22, it improves the filters, already very powerful! and corrects errors in config!

-To provide the options ... very expensive on the market! RAM because without it Forget the sample (without SCSI disk or smart ... no memory: (and the expansion card allows sampler in optical

Side-manual ... uh ... novel, it is detailed but not always explicit (the bookmarks are not provided) and you'll need it for sure: D Chapter MIDI is very very short, it is a default for the following Learning on the RS, as very useful, if you have the manual RM1X then you'll have more info about noon and shortcut with SHIFT

-Menu Internal RS and well provided with numerous opportunities to work on your sound, the pots are placed, the ergonomics is functional, the effects of play are fun ... have a lot of fun and combinations are possible appointment (not needs hands of magicians to press two buttons at the same time)

Memory-function mute scene or memory, with 5 keys recall values affect game defined by you (really very useful!) Or just cut your tracks / lit for the mute function

-Function loop remix "very well regarded, especially when you slice your sample and sampled opportunities slice a sample of 16 measures

Resampling-based useful when you do not want to use this effect for all of your tracks but just for this sample

SOUNDS

Globals all original sounds lack punch, but you have to Arcenal improved mastering

-Be careful though not to raise your samples too high in the peaks when sampled the sound of larceny if you'll arrive in noreilles

I am the tribecore, hardtek, hardcore, she is perfect especially with the filters really bleuffant

-Master the effect is very much customizable to wish

OVERALL OPINION

seen its price today, you want to start with a complete Bécanne or change machine is a good way to GET DIRTY and have fun

For my part it will make 4 years since I use it and it still surprises me! advice if you can chopper in a studio where there will be a sign of good condition, although it is very robust, evenings are damp, binouze falling, the cold-free party, cuts full of juice live ... etc. ...
mine are very survival was a "small" speaker fell on it ... lucky us when you mouse ...

is an essential collector! and it still attracts as many eyes when you go out!
