Yamaha RX5 Drum Machine Demo

First, I run through the Internal and and Cart sounds (forgot to look to see what cart #) triggered via MIDI keyboard. Next I demonstrate the "Reverse" and "Damp" functions. Damp allows you to silence the decay on an instrument much like choking a cymbal. Lastly, I demonstrate a function that turns the drum machine into a 16 part monophonic, multi-timbral sound module. Here, I sequence four parts (DXClav, Bass1, Snare1 and Closed Hi Hat) with a Roland Fantom X6.

@tshhtf Thanks. The demo tune was totally improv. Be sure to subscribe to be notified of future videos of more classic synths and drum machines.

hello zibbybone,

fine demo here ! ; )

i got a little question :

how do you make it work you could play the samples in pitch variation with your keybord ???

need every single instrument his own midi channel for to make it work in that way ?

greetz and roll the beat !

fantastic sounds. I wish the '80s have never ended. But like all in life, what's good must end...

Love that machine, it's now almost 20 years I bought it and I just can't leave it.

Sounds a ton like the drum sounds found on the triton. I trip out how they steal eachother's sounds.

Best Drum machine of alltime in the right hands. Classic examples Cameo "Word UP" And Prince "Sign O The Times". In recent times Mario Winan "I Dont Wanna Know.

Wow! With that 1:59 E-Bass you could totally recreate

the Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) intro.

Just took my rx apart today to clean it up. Sticky buttons..... Would have been 70 pounds if i sent it off to be cleaned! Happy i did it myself. Learned to take it apart without breaking it!

track at the end sounds like knight rider lol

I thought DXorch sounded familiar, Mac fans will recognize it as the Indigo sound from the classic Mac OS software.
