Yamaha RM1x Sequence Remixer | Vintage Synth Explorer

Yamaha • RM1x Sequence Remixer

The RM1x is a great new pattern based instant dance music machine! It sounds great! The patterns are perfect and inspiring forms of trance, house, hardcore and more with tons of great analog-like sounds and drum kits. The RM1x also features plenty of effects, filters, knobs, and MIDI control. The patterns have a whopping 16 parts (that you can drop-in or out in real-time performances) for lavish and professional productions. Making dance music has never been easier!

For those of you who want to get a little deeper into creating your own tracks, patterns and sounds, there is more. As if the awesome preset patterns aren't enough for you, creating your own 'phrases' is easy. You can modify a phrase's variation, instruments, sounds, tempo, filtering, LFO, and effects until you've morphed it into something of your own. Then store it into one of the 50 user patches. Creating an entire song is also pretty easy. Knobs, mutes, and patterns can be changed on the fly or meticulously programmed in. For the best all-in-one music box that will make you famous for a day - chose the RM1x over the rest! It is used by Apollo 440, Crystal Distortion, and Signal Electrique.

I've had one since 98 and I'll keep until someone comes out with a better sequencer/interface. It's so intuitive. My RM1x drives my triton, EMX-1 and prophecy so it's excellent sequencing ability is now put to use playing decent instruments. The only way I'd sell it is to get an RS7000.

This box served me well for 10 years. I needed a reliable hardware sequencer, and this was more powerful than anything else on the market. The display, LEDs and buttons make the user interface very useable. The sequencer allows for a lot of editing, tweaking, etc. The disk holds many songs, and floppy disks are cheap. Whatever type of music you record, the sequencer will do it well. You can record all 16 tracks straight through, or do pattern-based sequencing. It can handle sys-x record, and all types of controllers, mono or poly pressure etc. MIDI or MTC sync works too! The on-board synth was a nice bonus, sometimes useful, with a wide choice of sounds, but I noticed overall the output is rather dull sounding, lacking crisp highs. I will use it to fatten up tracks or add some fx-type sounds, but I prefer my MIDI synths that have better sounds. Take Note: I never discovered any software bugs in this gizmo after using virtually every feature! This puppy is solid, and NEVER crashed!

My favourite piece of kit! Mainly because it has such an excellent sequencer and you can save your songs to floppy disk. On board sounds could be better though layering them with effects improves them alot. Has a good 303 sound if your after one. Shame that the keys aren't built that well so use an external keyboard to take the wear off them whenever possible and it should last you a good few years.

I'm not sure what do people mean by "outdated" - that doesn't mean you can't use them:

Any one who doubts this little box hasnt spent enough time getting to know it. very powerful 'brains' for any midi controlled hardware setup. yes some sounds are outdated, yes somethings take alittle tweaking but it is all made up for in the control over the patterns, mute/unmute controls as well as sound twiddling on the fly. Used as a drum machine with space filling sounds backed up by a synth for leads and a sampler for interests.. and your on your way to total live remixing possiblities. 9/10. aslo check out its older brother the yamaha RS7000 which has a built in sampler.
