RM1x

[aireq]

Just curious if anyone has any comments on the Yamaha RM1x. I'm considering picking on up for use as a seqencer, and mabye use some of the internal sounds. Also does anyone have one that they'd sell me?

The RM1X is excellent as far as a sequencer goes. Many have compared it to the great Alesis MMT8. As a tone generator goes it has some to be desired. But what can you expect for an all in one box.

If you're still interested in obtaining one, i'm selling mine for $500. I need to Christmas cash. Email me if you have any questions.

I totally love the RMX1. If I had the money I would buy one today. I just go into guitar center and play with it when I'm bored

*Bump*

I'm still looking for an RM1x, there are two guys local to the northwest that want to sell me theirs, but are hard to get a hold of (probably the holiday season). So if anyone is selling send me an email.

The RM1X is without a doubt, one of the best non-software sequencers out there next to the old MMT-8's..

The RM1X is a drum machine/groovebox/sequencer. You get 16 tracks to sequence with, built in sounds & effects, floppy drive, and sequences anything you want it to. Samplers, keyboards, drum machines, your software sequencer, etc...

People like to compare it to a blown out war with the Roland MC505, but it's just like comparing apples and oranges. Yes, the 505 wins in the sounds depts(they sound cheesy to me now), but sequencing with those things are more difficult. With a RM1X, it's easy. All you need is a decent keyboard, or sampler, and for awhile, you won't need any other gear to make tunes with. You wanna produce trance? It can do it. You wanna make drum n bass? It can do that too. You wanna make rock/pop/country/hip hop, perhaps even classical? Yes, yes, yes, yes, and yes. It can do them all. You get all sorts of sound kits to try out, and what's neat is if you got a good sampler, you could easily layer most of the tracks as samples, and have the RM1X trigger those samples, and then go back and use some other different sounds, and keep layering the track to your liking...

I don't own one yet, want to get a sampler first, but then immediately I'm saving for one!! Everybody I know who has used one, or has one swears by them. It's gonna be a classic techno toy. Buy one now, or later, but if you have basslines in your head, or you want to throw down some of your own tunes in your dj'ing, save up and buy one!
