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.

No dynamic filters (a harder trigger doesn't make a brighter sound), the user patches start at number 50 so you have to scroll up each time, and erasing notes was difficult. I went back to my old workhorse, the Alesis MMT8.

Yes, the sounds are outdated and lack lushness. (If you plan on using this machine i would plan on having alot of outboard effect units to sex it up.) However, I don't find myself ever selling it because the sequencer is freakin awesome. So, If you like to keep it old skool ... then this is the machine for you!
