Yamaha • RS-7000 Music Production Studio

Yamaha RS-7000 Image

The RS7000 is a major groove production workstation! It's sort of like Akai's MPC-series, combining sampling and sequencing, but with an added internal synth engine. The RS7000 is particularly suited for dance, techno, Hip Hop, R&B, and ambient genres.

The sampler section consists of a 4MB (expandable to 64MB) sampler (5kHz to 44.1kHz or 32kHz to 48kHz via digital option board). You can use it to sample external sounds, re-sample the RS7000's sounds itself, or load samples from a variety of common formats! Auto-beat slicing lets you easily sample any loops or sounds and sync them to your sequence tempo! All the professional sampling and editing features you'd expect are here, and more!

The tone generator offers 62-voice polyphonic AWM2 synthesis, with over 1,000 synth sounds and 63 drum kit sounds (all via ROM). Here you'll find the resonant filters (6 types), advanced LFO modulation, BPM-synchronized LFO waveforms, and more! Edits made to the internal sounds, as well as to any samples are all stored within your sequence patterns.

The Sequencer is the real meat of the RS7000, where you make music out of the sounds it's got and that you've put into it! It offers pattern-based recording with 16 tracks each, and a 200,000 note-per-song capacity. Linear sequencer sequencing, like you would do using a software sequencer like Cubase, is also supported by the RS7000. Pattern-based sequences can be converted to the linear format as well. Realtime, grid and step recording methods are also available. Linking patterns into songs can be done in real time and meticulously tweaked. Total MIDI control, real-time hands on control, 18 assignable knobs and two pads, a Master effect section (with a multi-band compressor, slicer, isolater, other DJ-style master effects), and more make the RS7000 the most professional quality groove/loop/dance machine out there! It has been used by Hardfloor.

ehhh, i have one and i don't really like the rs-7000. a little bit on the irritating side to program but other than that it has amazing sounds and a definite power house in the music production studio arena. i just think that there are a lot easier mps devices that are a hell of a lot easier to program and just as versatile. oh and luis bicho, you shouldn't be posting your items for sale on the archive pages. didn't you read the posting rules???

This is the beast. It takes a little getting used to after using an MPC,
but the result and versatility are second to none.
The basic sound set is from a motif Mk1, it has "recycle" built in and when you add the digital output expansion board it really starts to open up sonically .
How many of these do you see for sale?
Get one if you work live and need a rock solid sequencer that can adapt to any environment your particular music requires.
It can handle anything.......Including Dutch gabba....lol
Truly an "All in one" machine.
