track made with "Yamaha RX-5" drums and some synth sounds from the "Yamaha CS1x" - the music and all pic's by myself "ChipBeat" (March 2010) enJOY it !!!
The reason The RX5 didnt get half the respect it should is THE DX7. All the focus was on Yamahas DX7 MK 1 AND 2. Plus Roland got overrated for their 808/909. So when they released the R8 not long after Yamahas RX5. People jumped all over that. Although it was nowhere as good as the RX5. CAMEO "WORD UP"---PRINCE "SIGN O THE TIMES and JAN HAMMER "CROCKETTS THEME". Are famous examples of the time to show how great this Drum machine is. The punch and charactor of this awesome machine is unrivalled.
RX5=awesome drum machine.They are reasonably priced at the moment,although I think this may change when everyone gets on to the fact that they make great dance sounds which compliment the 808/909 boxes.I'm sure Calvin Harris uses one of these things-Cameo did.
Theres this obsession about fat. But its doesnt work in a mix. You want sounds that are fat enough. The CS1X sounds great with the RX5 which has amazing presence in a mix. Real PUNCH.
Nice funky track!

@SlikkTim the filter sounds very vintage analog, although it doesn't sound fat like analog, it still sounds fantastic.
