Just got an RS7000 on saturday, nice box, still learning its many depths, this is something I've been doing with it. No other instruments used, for some reason its encoded pretty shytely? Haven't figured out arrangement on the RS7k yet so it all realtime stuff warts an all!

Death to Cubase! Long like the RS7000 ;P

Well, ok I'll clear up what I meant - For years I've used Cubase\Notator (on the ST)and more recently VST\Logic (PC) and you do get set in the ways that those programs operate in terms of how you edit data, for example in Cubase key edit if you want to shift individual notes backward or forwards you get the little boot icon and click on the note yes? Well in the RS you just go into grid groove, highlight the beat(s) and turn the dial to move the note, which for me seems quicker. The (cubase)list edit is almost identical to the RS7k's edit mode (with the same options for filtering out different data types) and moving, inserting, deleting or altering the length of note. I don't know exactly what you mean when you say complex edits, but there are lots of ways to manipulate Midi data on the RS and most of it is realtime. Then there are the more specialised jobs like creating cresendos, extracting notes and strum effects etc which are pretty quick and easy too. Granted it does mean that you have to alter your working methods but once you get your head around it I'm sure that you will be able to get it done quicker.

I've learnt the hard way over the years that there really is no "holy grail" when it comes to music gear and it is a challenging and frustrating process investing time, money and creative energy into a piece of equipment\software that may or may not be suitable for you, nothing is perfect and I guess its just a case of finding out which flaws\bugs\omissions\limitations etc are important to you.

You can switch filters while a track is running, I have flashed my OS to 1.14 maybe thats why. If you want I'll email you the update and some FAQs and tips I got off the net, it might address some of the problems you are having, give me your email addy if you want the files.

Thanks!

Its clear that youve got the RS down pretty tight. Dont get me wrong I'm not dissing it (I just like to argue

)

Seems kinda funny the way it works..but yamaha is known for that, no? like..why "common samples" and "local samples"? why not just have SAMPLES?

beats me why common vs local... dunno

on the drums, its like 1 or 2 kits that that filter bug happens on.. not the rest and not your own samples. a weird one.

www.rs7k.com is the homepage for the ebay group. best resource out there.

just making my first song with it now.

yah do this to get around it (i think) quit using the drum kit you were using and switch off to:

perc
drums
snares
hh+cymb

those kits have all the snares and drums etc from when they are organized in kits.

i think its just a bug in the individual kit. not in front of the rs right now

I listen to the "Untitled..." track. Is that what we're talking about here? Pretty cool track in any case. Like what comes in a somewhere around 1:25.

Yep thats the one, its all RS7000, just wanted to put something together with it to see what its capable of and let other ppl hear something other than the dodgy Yamaha demos, but as it turns out I will prolly finish it off into a full blown track. Obviously the arrangement is a bit dodgy (my 18month old son was running round the studio pulling wires and whacking my gear - kids eh?) but hopefully I will have a proper version up soon. Thanks for the comments
