+Thomas Stubbs Yeah i did and a couple others , they are quite fun but take practice like anything . I recently sold all my music gear but ill save and get more later . This channel has great RM1X vids ! Fun boxes !
Well you sir are a groove box legend. So that comment coming from you has totally made my weekend! Thank you so much and I'm a big fan and love your work too.
My studio mate got this one about 15 years ago but he sold it after 2 months because of the simple sounds. This is proof of what I already knew back then how stupid he was especially because his goal was to play life. It's an awesome machine!!!
Don't forget, tr909, tb303, sh101, hell even jupiter 8 are simple sounds. It's what you do with them. Simple sounds don't hold your hand and make music for you but if you use them creatively they are very if not more musical than complex motion filled sounds. It just means the motion has to be the music.
Hi Raffaele, I do and it works fine for me. I would check your RM1X's internal battery as I believe that can cause undesired operation when it loses power.
nice track and best use of sections that i've seen yet... any particular concept for them? looks like you're using them for different key changes perhaps, and also mixing with them for breakdowns, builds and fills? also progressing through a few grooves... I have used the box for years, but still have yet to formulate a good track standard playing format with regards to scenes... figured out phrases, so onwards & upwards! again nice tune and inspiring performance technique!
Thinking of grabbing one of these to be the brain for my synth setup, good idea? I'll be honest, being the one guy still buying floppy disks is a small part of it lol
nice work man!!! but you save the pattern on floppy? because when i load a pattern from floppy she (rm1x) load only the event of the pattern, but she change me every instruments on it!! i'm going crazy because this is one of the best groove box all over the world!!
Can't wait to replace the switches on mine. It's still fun to mess around with, but too many switches have died over the years, and it is limiting what I'm able to do with it.
+RaveTracks It was stuck in the top shelf of a wardrobe for a few years, and my mum had stacked other stuff on top, so some of the switches were pressed down during all that time, hence why they died. Yeah, I did electronics in school, and I'm quite confident with a soldering iron, so replacing those shouldn't be too difficult.
I did the switches repair on mine and I can tell you its a right pain in the arse. I foolishly de-soldered the switches in tact and then later found out its best if you cut them off a de-solder the legs individually. As a result I damaged quite a few of the tracks so had to do some bodge repairs. However it all worked in the end and now they work like a charm. The next thing I'm going to do is mod the key LEDs so there's an orange LED then four reds to make it easier to program in grid mode. Will you be uploading a vid when your up and running?
+RaveTracks We shall see. I've not really done any composing for years now, and I'm extremely rusty when it comes to using my RM1x, but hopefully, if things work out, I might actually make something worth listening to. I'm really impressed with your tracks though. Especially this one. :)
It's great. I've watched it like 8 times since I posted that comment. Do you have an mp3 up for it somewhere? If not it's fine, I could just rip the audio from the video since it's good quality anyway.
Hi Jerry, thanks for the comment. I pre wrote the track before hand. I don't tend to use presets unless I'm making a vid thats specifically about presets.
Either you are able to tweak this unit beyond all normally achieved levels of utilization or people are just retarded when they bash on the quality of the on board sounds. Seriously, what is bad about the sound here? I mean, for something entirely in the box, it sounds very polished. I can only imagine what track on track tricks in a DAW could do with this unit.
Very kind words Matt. The raw sounds are very basic but in my opinion good solid building blocks. Once you add the filters, fx, sequencer and control of MIDI in to the mix, you have an incredible powerful production suite that just need a bit of imagination. Its tough nut to crack, about 3 months if I remember, but boy was it worth it. Without a doubt my favourite groove box. The biggest downfall is you cant swap between play and record without stopping the unit. I assume this was just a limitation of the processing power because some things become disable when recording. I don't think I'd ever connect it to a DAW because the thing that makes it great is the fact that its completely stand alone. :)
Matt Greer Music Its hard to understand and basically its how an interface works when o n l y nerds are in the design team and theres no Steve Jobs around.. But as that thing alone is interesting and as it unlocks loads of sounds in weird categories that are all tweakeable I think its just rumours or an effect of todays kids that only understands instant satisfaction. This is not instant satisfaction. Its hard studies and devotion that is needed to make complete songs in it. Ive come to manage to create and modify loops arranged into something I can mix records with. In fact I listen to a record and out of the record I create something nice that fits that record. I have also become a fan of the arpeggio function (resembles modular synth function so to speak).
***** is it possible to insert mute/unmute messasges into a phrase? for example, i'd like a phrase that mutes itself at the end. Similarly, when changing into a new section, I'd like to have the mute states pre-programmed... is this possible, and if not, how do you manage this, do you make sure to unmute everything in the preceeding section, before the transition?
Na M8, you'll do fine! Same knob tweaks just actual people instead of virtual people. Picture all the dudes in the worst winter sweaters your great aunt can knit and all the chicks naked and cheering more more more LOLOLOL!
Great use of the Rm1x.
Hands up man! U are simple a genius on this machine 🔥🔥
Ooh, this is so 90s! How often i heard this wonderful song and remembered the good times!
Awesome man.. keep it up!!!!!! ~Steve from the RM1X yah group.
Excellent!! Love ur music!
love it. you've really got that blue beast cookin'!
Cheers buddy. Should have a new vid up by the end of this month.
I've had an RM1X for 14 years and it's never sounded this good. Love your videos, big ups!
This is great, i love seeing people get into the musical flow and it really comes across well here, makes my hairs stand on end, good work!
Cheers for the kind words! They are really appreciated :)
Back again! 😂 gets better with age!
When I listen it I feel again like in 90's. Thank's for this feeling.
90's were the best decade for dance music! Cheers for the comment.
*****
I miss so much

+Thomas Stubbs Yeah i did and a couple others , they are quite fun but take practice like anything . I recently sold all my music gear but ill save and get more later . This channel has great RM1X vids ! Fun boxes !

Thanks Simone! You're comment just made my day :)
Rad tune... use to have the rs7000, but moved on to Maschine... thinking of getting a r1mx to fill in my fix for hardware.
Nice! B-) Your tunes keep getting tighter and tighter!
Nice one bro. Yes. I use the Maximus mastering compressor in FL Studio Signature Bundle.
still bad ass and waiting for more !!!
Oh my God that sounded awesome!!!
Well you sir are a groove box legend. So that comment coming from you has totally made my weekend! Thank you so much and I'm a big fan and love your work too.
Aha no way!! Need to do a rave and race these boxes... How long can you do a set with rmx1 for?
My favourite one ☝️

Dope, straight...\\\
Wow man, you killed it.
Awesome!!!
It's just awesome!
Thanks Edii!
Can you ask your hands to do a tutorial on how to program this beast?
Awesome...!!!
Friggin' love it
original, love it!
Always do my own stuff but laced with flavours from the past. Glad you like it!
Awesome!!!! Great stuff mate, really enjoyed that : )
Cheers GoonieFan! Glad you liked it.
great!
Thanks Antonio!

Do it my friend! You won't be disappointed.
Thinking of grabbing one of these to be the brain for my synth setup, good idea? I'll be honest, being the one guy still buying floppy disks is a small part of it lol
Nice one!
fucking nice .. dude :D
Glad you're diggin it!
I like it!
Do you think I want to buy RM1X and use paired with Octatrack?
nice work man!!! but you save the pattern on floppy? because when i load a pattern from floppy she (rm1x) load only the event of the pattern, but she change me every instruments on it!! i'm going crazy because this is one of the best groove box all over the world!!
liking the bassline! would recommend rm1x over used emx?
do you know how to make a reese sounding bass with the rm1x?
well...you're def selling me on this machine.
wow keys so white... mines is yella. nice gloves doe
Retrobrite
Best!
nice one!
this one is pretty friggin good :)
Hi
How do I set the Swing in the input so its "not that" sensitive and rather corrects my input into at least 16/th notes BUT keeps the velocity?
You can't. You have to apply the swing afterwords via the Groove function.
Beast
does yamaha make any machines like this anymore? other than tenori
Sadly not. I wish they did though.
Fuckin' awesome!
Nice one tim, catch ya later.....
Can't wait to replace the switches on mine. It's still fun to mess around with, but too many switches have died over the years, and it is limiting what I'm able to do with it.
+InterruptRequest It amazes me that the thing is built like a tank apart from the switches! Are you replacing them yourself?
+RaveTracks It was stuck in the top shelf of a wardrobe for a few years, and my mum had stacked other stuff on top, so some of the switches were pressed down during all that time, hence why they died.

Thanks. I really enjoy making them as you can probably tell. Have you got any stuff on line I can have a listen to?
Hi, great sound! you use a compressor?
Jesus Dancing Christ man! Idk what your Muse is...but can I borrow it LOL!
cool is this using the internal sounds only? i've got mine hooked up to computer sampler its brilliant.
It's great. I've watched it like 8 times since I posted that comment. Do you have an mp3 up for it somewhere? If not it's fine, I could just rip the audio from the video since it's good quality anyway.
Nice!
Thanks FF!
Shared also.
hello , nice sound man !! , type "rm1x plugin vst demo" on youtube search you can now control your rm1x with a pc !!!!!!!!!!!
you are genius !!!!!! :)
Thank you! (I wish I was) ;-)
Hi Mate. I was in touch some time ago and wondered if you still have my email. I got my RM1X working again and have a question for you. Cheers Mike
Hi Mike, fire away! RT
@@RaveTracks - would rather ask via email ? gmail account... “ksportz” 👍
@@ksportz66 I don't have an email I'll willing to share. I'm on the RM1x facebook group if you'd feel happier posting there?
so did you pre-write this song or is it all preset drums and sequences?
Hi Jerry, thanks for the comment. I pre wrote the track before hand. I don't tend to use presets unless I'm making a vid thats specifically about presets.
Are you using any external compression while recording or something because Jesus Jumpin Christ this machine is full of high saturated fatness!

Good points. I try not to turn it on unless I have 2-3 hours to burn. It sucks me in every time.
