Yamaha RX8 Drum Machine Overview + Circuitbend

A little information on the Yamaha RX-8 Digital Rhythm programmer, a nice little drum box from the late 1980's, complete with some information on how I added some circuit bent modifications to this unit.

Very cool circuit bending. I'll have to experiment with my RX8. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@AMOKIAN]

Great video and bent mods for that machine. Great sounds!!!!!!

I actually bought this exact unit from eBay, I have it open right now to add a patch bay instead of the switches.

Nice Overview man.

Sounds like Norm MacDonald

I've heard that about my voice quite a few times!

[@AaronWelchMusic]

Love the bend on this, have you got more information on which pins you used? Don't want to fry mine!

[@BurnMoneyBeats]

I actually bought this unit and plan to add a patch bay but would be more than happy to share the pins used here. Contact me at [e-mail]

[@kaliker8245]

Would love to know this too !!

Interface makes sense once you read the manual, before that it's cryptic as hell. I even have a 32k memory card for mine.

I just got one and it freaking is so complicated

[@mikethebloodthirsty]

I have a RX8 I've owned for years, I thought it was complicated but then I got a Yamaha QY70 sequencer... Made the RX8 feel relatively intuitive. Yamaha are known for their fiddly menus and sub menus. Once you get the hang of them, the sense of accomplishment is pretty rewarding.

Hey how you do a factory reset on that drum computer?

[@anode8]

No idea. I sold this one years ago.

[@paulsimpson7481]

I have one as well in great condition...can I use it as a midi controller with addictive drums 2 into Logic Pro X?

[@graphene1487]

damn that's cool!

[@twiff3rino28]

Lol Japanese chips are so weird...
