An intuitive "hands-on" interface makes realtime operation easy for artists with a DJ background, while in-depth sequencing and editing functions make it possible to create the most complex original patterns from scratch.
The RM1x also features a great-sounding tone generator with an enormous selection of great dance sounds built in. If dance is your style and you want the most powerful performance and production tools right at your fingertips, it doesn't get much better than this: the Yamaha RM1x Sequence Remixer.
Whether you use any of the RM1x's 960 preset patterns, patterns you have created yourself using the RM1x, or patterns loaded from a separate sequencer or music computer, the RM1x gives you unprecedented control and flexibility for realtime performance. You can instantly switch between 16 "sections" included in each pattern simply by tapping keys on the RM1x's large keyboard and use the 8 realtime controller knobs to bend, twist, and shape your sound on the fly. It's a snap to mute and un-mute tracks during playback. In fact, a single RM1x is all you need to keep the dance floor jumping all night long. Furthermore, you can combine the RM1x with other MIDI-compatible music gear for even greater versatility. Either way, the RM1x is bound to end up being your main remix machine.
If you're into serious music production as well as real-time tweaking, the RM1x gives you everything you need. In addition to a top-quality tone generator with 700 voices which can be edited to create precisely the sound your grooves require, the RM1x features a fully-blown, powerful sequencer that lets you create and edit original patterns with total control. You can record original material by using a variety of record modes-realtime replace, realtime overdub, punch-in, step, and grid.These modes are designed to work for many different types of musicians. The grid mode, in particular, provides a programming interface that many artists with a DJ background will already be familiar with. You can then edit the recorded material with extraordinary precision and add effects to polish and refine the final sound. Of course, the fact that the RM1x is MIDI compatible and includes a full complement of MIDI functions makes it an ideal core device for a sophisticated MIDI dance production system.
