Yamaha RM1X users - any potential with Live?
If you are using an RM1X with Live, in what capacity are you doing so? I have one and it is just sitting here doing nothing. I haven't taken the time to really dive in to explore the possibilities.

hi
you should squeeze the sound of your RM-1X. Its a pretty cool sequencer, and more if you allready have it. I program sequences with it and then sample them with live. Pretty nice fat warm sounds.
the only thing that limits me is my ignorance.. hehe, we have to take control of the drum machine!

i use it to trigger clips, and for a little sequencing, and i assigned a knob for tempo control... but i can only seem to get the bottom 4( 8 ) knobs to transmit... the sounds are hmmm, but it is always nice to have a couple of extra clip launchers... not to hard to setup, actually easier than navigating the damn thing!
i didn't put no smiley face in there...oh wait

Thanks for the posts. I need to dump some laziness and check it out. I picked the thing up in perfect condition for $150 about 2 years ago, composed one track on it, and it’s been sitting idle ever since I became glued to Live, with the exception of a few sampling times. I was thinking about sampling the sounds I like then selling it for a better controller, but thought I would check out the midi capabilities first. Wonder if anyone has circuit bent one of these?...
jump into setup and assign all the knobs to CC numbers then u can use all of them.dcease wrote:i use it to trigger clips, and for a little sequencing, and i assigned a knob for tempo control... but i can only seem to get the bottom 4( 8 ) knobs to transmit... the sounds are hmmm, but it is always nice to have a couple of extra clip launchers... not to hard to setup, actually easier than navigating the damn thing!

the sounds are rompler so I wouldn't bother sampling it as they are very run of the mill...the sequencer is where it's at. I have mine hooked up as master to Live 5, I create and trigger midi files from it using both its own sounds or live's own midi tracks. Oh and this thing overdubs CCs in its own clips using its built in knobs and buttons, it also overdubs mutes and midi effects. Live doesn't do that yet.metafactor wrote:Thanks for the posts.

it's great for triggering loops in its pattern mode but the song mode doesn't hold a candle to Live's. Depends how you work. I't fierce fun to jam live.
