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.

: love the Rs7000 & is a great 16track recording itemwith tons of preset samples & instruments to cover all styles of music from dance,rap,RnB,cybergoth & so on,except country music.At first i found this very difficult to understand on how it worked...but once i discovered how to work it & record my own samples & build drum patterns too with it,i couldn't put it down & now i used it almost everyday coming up with something new.

When in play, if you select (track seclect) an instrument and press the keyboard you should flash the LED corresponding to the sounds used. (I am italian :) )
I don't know how to use this function...help me...giacomo

Great machine with an excellent variety of built in sounds, tweakable to get the sound closer to what you want without to much hassle, a brilliant sequencer that is very easy to integrate with other hardware and to top it all a built in sampler and more....., spend some time playing around and you will find out how really good this is, its a keeper.
