The RX5 is the greatest DRUM MACHINE of ALLTIME. Its sonic possibilities and punch have no match. Its problem was timing. Two years earlier and it would have owned the 80s.
@fender1000100 Actually I was under the impression that it sold rather well at the time to "mid level" users (i.e. better than a used TR-606 but cheaper than a Synclavier). The trouble is more that people in that market segment mostly weren't making very memorable music. It's a rare treat to hear an RX5 in something good. Usually I only hear it in dated, low budget pop or insipid new age. So I think it was a relative success, but missed the influential users.
Awesome track and cat!
