Excellent! I've listened to the track at least 20 times now and I think it's great, great atmosphere, lots of liveliness. I use the RS7000 as my main sequencer for MIDI synths, but I seem to have underestimated the sonic possibilities of the RS.
Thanks a lot mate. I think most users scoff at the internal sounds but patience and an open mind will go a long way in crafting something worthwhile. RS or elsewhere.
@@infiniteheight I wish, no it was unused for years and didn't make the cut moving to another country! Wish I'd have kept it though, it was a solid machine 😊
Cheers! Yes, it was a fun box but I just used a few presets over and over so I didn't keep it. If I ever miss it I'll have a look at the cheaper NTS version :)
@@infiniteheight Yeah, Its kind of nostalgic for me because at one point I sold all my gear but still had a drum machine the KP3 and a 4 track which used to make some songs. It's definitely flawed and kind of cheesy but I found the UI to be inspiring. Definitely more curious about RS7000 since Ive seen you and others use it on TH-cam. Can you use the Lfo's on samples?
Yes, the LFO works on samples, but don't get the machine for its sampling. It does sample, and it does often yield quite good results, but unless you absolutely feel the need for more archaic workflows in your life, my advice would be to look elsewhere for a sampler :) Also the LFO is just fine but it is not the most powerful aspect of the machine. Have a look at the tutorials on the channel, it should give you a pretty good idea of what it does well. There's also one (mostly) sample based track on the channel, called "slow house" or something like it. Cheers @@iiaaiiaannaaiiaaii
@@infiniteheight Thanks, Yeah, I checked your tutorials out, very cool stuff and some the ideas I am going to try to apply to other gear, like the 707. Really liked how you doubled the drum track and used time stretch and midi delay to layer the two tracks. Also, some of the melodic tricks you showed, very clever. A trick that I've come up with ( sure I'm not the first) is to run drum beats or whole parts into two hardware looper that I have wired up to send back and forth to each other or out to my recorded. Anyway, I leave the loopers unquantized and grab bits of the beat in ways that it loops back on itself in maybe a different timing or use them to collage a new part. I dont do this all the time but it makes me build parts that I would never have thought to order this way and also this technique can be used to create micro-times. Its fun, if nothing else, but I have built some tracks starting this way. I didn't mean to imply that I was in the market to buy an RS7000, just that i was interested in how it works/it"s capabilities. that being said when you said it has an archaic work flow, maybe its because you have mastered it but it looks very intuitive- Ive worked with some very frustrating pieces of gear and this actually looks really fun and I like the choices of parameters Yamaha arranged for the knobs and it definitely seems very powerful. Of course, I will take your word for it...hahhaa... I imagine sequencing could be tough (?). cheers.
I just have seen your RS7000, starting from scratch video. And now you combined the Kaossilator with it. I have the Kaossilator also. How do you combine those instruments. Are you feeding the audio from the RS to the Kaos? or do you use also MIDI to synch them both?
Thanks for watching! I should make a playlist with all RS tutorials gathered in one place. This is a Kaoss Pad, I'm not sure it works the exact same as the Kaossilator, because I've never used one :) In this track I'm feeding the stereo out of the RS to the ins of the KP, and recording the stereo out of the KP through my interface. It's not ideal because the RS sounds great but the KP not so much, so you're getting a degraded signal. An ideal setup would be to have a mixer in between and using the KP as a send effect. For this kind of setup you can use a midi cable with RS as master or tap the tempo on the KP. It doesn't make much difference because it's really just to have them at the same bpm. Thanks for your comment, just let me know if you have other questions!
I got a new pack out for the RS, called Abstrctd. Get it here: sound7.co.uk/products/yamaha-rs7000-abstrctd
Just bought it. Great sounds!
@@markhofland1898 many thanks for the support! May the sounds provide you with abundant inspiration to make great music!

such a beautiful track... i keep coming back to have another listen
Those buttons take me right back to my RM1X from the 00’s 😁😁😁
Ah yes. Do you still have it?
@@infiniteheight I wish, no it was unused for years and didn't make the cut moving to another country! Wish I'd have kept it though, it was a solid machine 😊
It blows my mind how this can be made on an old piece of tech like this, great job! I'd love to see how that machine works
Thanks a lot for your comment! Have a look on the channel. I've made various workflow videos on the machine.
I like it when played 0.5 speed and 144p low res as night sleep music
Haha!
You make me remember why I love the RS7000. Thank you!
My pleasure, I have a great time making these and this one was extra good ;D Thank you, it is always good to read your comments! 🙏
tbt there is so much to love about that machine. midi delay and swing knob are my favorites
I like Jay Hosking too :)
You know what? I really like Jay Hosking too. Also Ricky Tinez!
Jay Hosking is awesome. I also like Stefan Torto!
I was listen to this on the road with just my phone and I liked it, now I am back here with good headphones... and it is awesome.
Thank you very much! I wonder to which extent it would be possible to reverse engineer on an rm1x 🤔
@@infiniteheight hm some day we might find it out... :)
one of the best tracks I've heard with it. thank you.
Thank you very much for your encouraging comments. So great to hear you like my music!
wow, that so nice,, keep it going Sonny... great session
Cheers Mr Straightforward. Your support is very much appreciated 👊
I love this. Great composition.
Cheers! The key change is a quick way to fake an arrangement 😂 thanks for your comment.
Amazing!🤩Love from Hong Kong!
Wow that's amazing. Thank you Danny!
Beautiful, lovely work!
Thank you very much!
second time is even better!!! great work!
YESSS! Incredibly awesome! It’s a drug! ❤
Had to thumbs this up in the first 4 bars. So nice.
Thanks a lot for the good words!
Let me be the first to congratulate you
Much thanks!
1:48 surprising turn. good going!
Ah yes. A key change seemed to work well there :) Thanks for your comment!
Nice! Nod6 was one of favorites-really miss my KP3- it went toe up.

@@iiaaiiaannaaiiaaii the RS is a beast and it’s fast. The sampling aspect is archaic.
Awesome work man, what a lovely machine 💜
Thanks a lot! Yes, it's a fantastic machine, really.

Thanks!
really cool!
Hey thanks a lot!

Very Aphex twin style
That can only be a positive thing. Thanks! 😃👍

Tack!
This was awesome!!!
Much thanks!
dude this is super sick.
Thanks a lot. I have to say it's one of my favourites as well!
Nice
Cheers!
@@infiniteheight Anytime man, just gave you a new sub!
This is very good.
Dude, thanks!!
downpitched perc :)
Oh! I have to double check what it was :) I think from the Rhbox drum kit!
