OMG, I am the first person watching the video (posted 53 seconds ago). Clearly a sign that I should finally get myself an RS7000, some 20 years after I first wanted one. Fo shizzle.
Hi @@mr_floydst the Mode "voice edit" gives you the opportunity to go more in depth for changing the single sound on a pattern I Imagine, right?...but is it the only way to save on the pattern the changed sound, or it will be saved (with changes) also if we use only the panel's knobs? Thank you so much 🙏 (I have this machine since 2 days, but unfortunately the "voice edit button doesn't works 😢 )
God, i sold man, years ago.. i get frustrated cause i couldn't understand the workflow, i trully apreciate you make this tutorial to show me how easy this wonderful machine is to work with, hope get another of this shinny boxes again. thank you sir !
Really awesome instruction video. I'm going to watch the other videos in your instruction series. Thank you for making the videos for the Yamaha RS7000!
Always good to see new videos on the rs7000.I picked one up last year and couldn't see myself using anything else. You're in the Facebook group aren't you? I think I saw your screen replacement video in there. Keep up the good work
Muchos nachos Amigo, Can't wait to get mine back from synth repairman. Back then I chose the ASRX BOX ,my brother bought the rs7000 and now we have two family airlooms. Better then trophys ,🏆don't ya think 🧠 maestro Steinberg?® I just hope my kids appreciate dope beats/gruv$
I love this machine. One thing though and maybe it’s an OS thing but I can’t seem to get any visual feedback on the patterns I record. I can hear everything but no note information is displayed when I playback my tracks. Hasn’t really bothered hampered me that much but I am interested in knowing if I’m missing something small. Can’t see anything in the manual either
@@mr_floydst thanks Floyd, in your video you record some bass notes. When you play them back you can see the notes change on your pitch on your step sequencer. I've never been able to see my notes in this manner
Hi, how much measures can one pattern have in RS7000? For example maximu for YQ70/100 is only 8 measures. And second quentin... Have RS7000 "pattern list"? I mean list of patterns that make music play sequentially and I could easily change the order at any time. Thanks.
Hi, thanks for watching! Max pattern length is 256 bars. ( ! ). And yes, there's pattern chain mode - up to 20 patterns can be chained. There's also song mode with a pattern track, but that one isn't that "dynamic".
they floyd i got a quesion, when im trying to record with replace mode, after i press stop it doesnt save the data on the channel...i did like you've shown here, first mixer, choose the kit, then again press mixer, exit exit, press the keyboard button and then the record button, play, and when it stops and i want to listen to it, it doesnt save it, like it was blank before, any clue ? thnx alotttt.
Hi, thanks for watching! On some operations, there will be a "create" option on . If you're done with your changes, you _have_ to press that button, otherwise your changes will be lost. It's for previewing changes, I guess. I have no other ideas what could cause this problem, but that happened to me several times in the last weeks. ;-)
ok figured it out, in the options note - in/out , the in wasnt checked. thnx :) hope really you'll make a series about the yamaha rs7000, i have this machine for years and it was always very hard to figure it out, after this vid i dust it off and started playing with it again. thnx
do you still use this thing? I found that if I copy my 4bar (or whatever length) loop that i have going in A, to B, any changes I make effect both. this is really annoying. do sections get chained together or do styles? should I have copied it to style 2? it seems like to build a track you would stay in the same style, and build different variations (chorus, break, bridge verse etc) in the A-P sections of whatever number style you are in. so it is impossible to copy and paste? you have to start from scratch for each section? thats a b.s. paradigm if so.
Hi, thanks for watching. I don't own this anymore - I sometimes buy gear, show it on my channel, and then sell it again. That being said, this is quite similar to my EX5. So if you're arranging a song from "styles" or "patterns", repeating one pattern in a song doesn't create an actual second pattern. It merely repeats the same pattern. If you want to create a variation of the style/pattern, you need to copy it to another empty slot and work on the copy. This is the standard in hardware sequencers and might be confusing if you're coming from a DAW. The reason for this is memory in hardware sequencers is limited so repeating the same pattern instead of copying it saves memory.
Everything pattern related on the rs is stored in phrase data that saves writing every change you make, and theoretically meaning no limit on user patch type settings. It was a big selling point back when it came out. So if you change a sound in one phrase compared to another then append (the rs term) them together one of the two settings is overwritten or discarded. So many annoying downsides to this thing. Still can't get mine to record knob tweaks FFS 😞 Edit: you could overcome your issue with hours of inserting MIDI control and program change messages in the edit list for each phrase depending on what changes need to be made, then append them.
@@mr_floydst I've been going through the manual and can't find anything about that. I think it means you can have 32 available but only 16 at once, or some doubled up. Wonder what 2 RS 7000 would be like lol
@@mr_floydst what I gather is there are 32 midi "channels" but only 16 "tracks", meaning you could juggle 2 channel;s on 1 track or have 1 track send the same data to two destinations, but not have 32 sperate midi channels at once, unlike say the E-Mu command stattions. It's a weird thing to have 2 midi outs but not be able to use them properly, but I guess it helps in a studio setting so less playing around with midi cables. Anyway, thanks for your clips, and I'm still too scared to change the screen lol
All those buttons just to navigate the interface . . . Hobbie device what you get out = to what you put in hours understanding it's work flow and solving it's riddles n

I wish yamaha, or behringer, would do a MKII version of this
Thanks for watching! That'd be great, indeed.

Thank you very much!
mine just showed up last night, this vid is a god send. can’t wait for part 2 🙏
Thanks for watching! I'm working on it.
Great and informative overview! Hope it keeps the spirit für old grooveboxes alive 🤗
I hope so too! :-)
Really awesome instruction video. I'm going to watch the other videos in your instruction series. Thank you for making the videos for the Yamaha RS7000!
Thanks for your kind words!
thanks!! we were waiting for this video : )
:-)
fantastic video! massive thanks for making this! looking forward to the next videos in your RS7000 series! great stuff, thanks!
Thank you! :)
Damn... I had that thing back in the day!
Don't stress it's a bit of a letdown
Would love one of these
Thanks for watching! They're a bit hard to find. But worth it.
thank you!
This was so helpful. Can’t wait for the next part.
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful.
Ahhhh!! Absolute legend!!!

RS fo' LIFE!!!
Thanks for watching! :)
I‘ve got the Yamaha but I have a Problem. The effects of all of my midi Tracks are Synct. Does someone has an Idea how to Change that?
I'm afraid I can't answer that, so hopefully some viewers can. :-)
what are those simms edo,jedec ram for now thought? if you have a smart media card
They increase the amount of memory you can use for sampling. The more, the longer the samples you can use in one track.
Thank you Floyd!
Thanks! Another one (on auto-sampling) is in the making, will release it next week or so.
Thank you ! Thank you ! Thank you !
Thanks for watching! :)
Great video, thanks!

Thanks for watching! The only visual representation of your recorded notes will be in step sequencer mode, or in list edit mode.

Is it possible to save an entire song on the sequencer alone?
Thanks for watching! Yes, you can save songs.
Second answer: ... but you need a smart media card or a scsi hard disk to save. there is no internal storage.
thnx alotttttttt
Thanks for watching!
so with 2 midi outs, Yamaha claims it cun access 32 midid channels at once, but with only 16 tracks, how does that work?
It's been a while, but there's a "Bank" button which lets you switch between Tracks 1-16 and 17-32. These are routed to MIDI out A and B.
@@mr_floydst I've been going through the manual and can't find anything about that. I think it means you can have 32 available but only 16 at once, or some doubled up. Wonder what 2 RS 7000 would be like lol
It's on page 110 in the english manual ;-) - search for "out b" in the PDF version.
@@mr_floydst what I gather is there are 32 midi "channels" but only 16 "tracks", meaning you could juggle 2 channel;s on 1 track or have 1 track send the same data to two destinations, but not have 32 sperate midi channels at once, unlike say the E-Mu command stattions.

I can't believe your voice is real!
In this form, this comment isn't very helpful. Is this a criticism, or a statement of astonishement? What are we looking at here? ;-)
Your english is astounding. No accent at all....
Thanks! :)
All those buttons just to navigate the interface . . . Hobbie device what you get out = to what you put in hours understanding it's work flow and solving it's riddles n
So, in your opinion, is that a good thing or a bad thing?
@@mr_floydst It was more of a commet of surprise at how much navigation is involved. . .I guess good if you have to time and energy
the DAW has ruined me from ever using a groovebox again, unfortunately
Which DAW is you favourite?
I appreciate your super chill voice de pacencia/Patience. I only have Venmo so if you do I can contribute a million pesos 👑🎼🫣
Thank you very much!
Great vid, thanks!
