What up?
I've been using a RM1X as my main studio sequencer for about 3 years now. Copped it brand new for $300. Shit is dope as hell. I've used quite a few sequencers and this is the best one. I like it over the MPC and any software cuz of how easy it is to use and it's still hands on. I have used it to run 7 different sound sources at one point... Shit did it easy.
Sounds are kinda cheesy in this joint but they can be worked on with some knob tricks and effects. Most cats (I deal with) that hear
a RM1X track seem to think they are butter. I got a track going on my next cd that cats trying to see go to the radio... So I guess it sounds cool in all. I don't know if you heard my Don't it Feel Good song... All that was done on the RM1X. If all you are using now is a DR.660 then it'll be a definate upgrade on the sound side. I pretty much just use the RM1X for sequncering and grab a bass or something synthy out of it every now and then.
If you are looking for a powerful sequncer then The RM1X is the shit. It automatically matches a 4 measure sequnced loop to a 16 measure... Then things like midi delay and adding a octave to what you played (hooks the string parts up). Easy to use mute buttons and just all kinds of good shit. The damn edit functions are all in one menu. 50 patterns and about 20songs... I got about 3 cd's worth of beats on just one floppy...Shit is just lovely dog.
Only things I dislike are that the buttons will go bad so you really need to watch what you are buying on a used one... Might be screwed up. I even wouldn't sell mines cuz my shits are too numbeb out. Gotta get a controller A.S.A.P with one of these cuz those buttons do some nice shit but are hard as hell to deal with when bad. The other thing is it has no sampler... Those two things are why i'm probably gonna upgrade to
a RS7000. But the RM1X stays around.
Any ???'s just ask. Peace
