I have one as well, and an mp7, these units do so much more than most of the new gear nowadays. (over hype ad voice)and a whopping 6 voices of polyphony, wow, and a sequencer with 64 steps, OMG, get yours today! ps the rs7000 supports polyrhythms, allowing different sequence lengths and it's polyphony is doubled when using outboard gear(62 voice limit for the sound engine and another 62 for midi)
@@hh-ob5bo nice! Totally going to watch that! :) The replacement LCD didn't arrive yet, the old one is still readable on the edges, so I can somewhat figure what's on there.
@@sjcongo Not necessarily. Humanizing things makes for better texture. Also, on the RS, if you don't have one, it has tools for deliberately humanizing and shifting timings so that things aren't always perfect. His example was maybe not to your taste, but having a strong locked down tempo with at least 1 element that never falters will hold everything together musically, even if everything else isn't even quantized. When I use the machine, I will deliberately shift steps a littleforward and a little backward, throw in swing periodically just a tad, etc. to liven up everything. It's a subtle trick that will thicken the sound overall since you have many things in a song which, when quantized, will all land on the exact same microsecond, but by spacing them out by microseconds, you can create the impression of heavier and thicker sonic quality. As one of the most famous producers of all time noted, "Quantizing is like sugar and electronic music has diabetes". And another famous producer noted, "Quantizing is training wheels." Cheers!
@@heavysystemsinc. i had an qy700 back in the days of pure music maschines... i used the timing delays on every track... back in 1992 i was making music with sy99 :))) i love human quantizing feeling also

That's exactly how it is. To be fair, these machines were expensive.. but much more powerful than the gear you're referring to.
Cool floyd!!! The video is coming (because of the inspirational gif) how was the repair!?

I've one and i love it, and two RM1x ^^ It's the center of my synth hardware set.
Cool! Two RM1x. Don't tell @bobeats. ;-)
@@mr_floydst Ok 😁
Rm1x user here! Love the control, just wish it could step edit with the sequncer running.
@@petert7807 Solution, ad a Arturia Keystep 😉
@@BliterTV tell me more?🤔
I've never even heard of this groovebox! So cool.
Same for me ;-) There are so many unknown but powerful synths from the "end of 90s, early 2000s" phase...
It's big ! Seems to do a lot though 🙂 nice !
It's big and battle-worn. Display is broken, got to get a new one. :)
Uzbekistan
It seems like all sounds (waves) we hear here already present in the Yamaha EX5 ROM. :) Or was it used as a sequencer only in this case?
They're from the same time,roughly. So I guess you're right... :)
Fun but out of sync
Thanks for watching! You're right, now that you mentioned it, I see it, too. My bad. :-)
@@mr_floydst sorry but this will improve your awesome music ;) ✌️💪👌
