Al N Aafiysh Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I have an Yamaha RM1x. Until very recently it was in storage because I was afraid my young children would destroy it. I sort of remember how to use it. So, I would like this thread to serve as a sort of journal as I figure out solutions for problems I ran into the last time I tried to use it. When this piece of hardware was released, most people said it had a pretty cool sequencer but a rather bland rompler sound engine. Perhaps somewhat ironically, I have held onto the device because of some of the sounds it has, and I have had some problems using the sequencer to control other external MIDI devices. Previously I started a similar thread about my Monomachine here: http://forum.watmm.com/topic/86380-al-has-a-monomachine-a-journal/ If this is a problem for the mods and these threads need to be merged, please let me know. Thanks, Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al N Aafiysh Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 One of the problems I have had in the past is that the MIDI filter (see page 137) on the RM1x doesn’t really seem to work. When I have the RM1x connected directly via MIDI to a Yamaha FS1r, and have the filter setting for program change to the MIDI out unchecked (off), it still sends program change information out, driving the FS1r crazy. It seems like 2 Yamaha devices from the same era would get along better. RM1x Owner’s Manual page 135 RM1x Owner’s Manual page 136 RM1x Owner’s Manual page 137 One of the features I want to use and send the generated MIDI info to other devices from is the MIDI Delay (see page 060-061). I want to send MIDI delayed drum beats to an Akai MPC, and MIDI delayed arpeggios (page 062) to the FS1r.
