Yamaha RS7000 tutorial #2: automatic sample slicing how-to

[@marcusholder495]

Stay blessed brother we rock with you 🙏 💯

[@Syndrive]

Fantastic that someone does tutorials for RS7000 still! I just managed to get one myself.

[@mr_floydst]

COngrats! It's a great machine, capable of controlling a wall of synths or big sounds solo. If it only was a tiny bit smaller, though. ;)

[@sammythebull116]

small info for everyone with my previous rs 7000 which I sold 3 years ago, I saw that the wrong ram plays a major role in this, with the wrong one it takes a long time or it continues to calculate infinitely, then bought others and it works perfectly in a very short time all processed i bought a new rs 7000 this week and i have the same problem, the ram keeps counting so i ordered new ones and hopefully these are the right ones

[@Gabrielrose.mp3]

I just got the RS7000 w/ 64 mb simm and AEIB2 output card! This is the best production machine ever!

[@mr_floydst]

Congratulations! A great choice, and a very powerful center piece for your studio.

[@Dougie-]

With the AEIB?! How much did that cost you? I never see them for sale 😕

[@cartellimarroni]

Me the same...full optional ❤ and I have a smartmedia 64 and a jaz iomega drive 2gb also 🤟😜😆 there is no gear that can compete also today 👍 200% versatile!

[@jimmibones1988]

which mode is best for sampling ?? slice seq or pitch voice?

[@mr_floydst]

Really depends on what you're trying to achieve. Want to remix a drum loop? slicing. Want to play an instrument? Pitch.

[@RonaldIhle]

Mine arrives today with the extra 6 outputs. thank you for inspiring me to go for it m8.

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for watching! This is a great groovebox/synth. A bit huge perhaps. :-)

[@suculentarecords1984]

thanks Floyd, as an RS user this and your other videos were very helpful, cheers from Chile!

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for watching! :-)

[@Vyrkadian]

Hola suculenta Records, tambien soy de Chile y estoy pensando en importar una ya que no he pillado acá, ¿que tal ha sido tu experiencia con la RS? Saludos

[@cartellimarroni]

​@@mr_floydstwe need more...there is nothing on-line...you will have a milion of views if you'll do 👍

[@ukusila]

looking forward to another video about rs 7000 thanks!

[@mr_floydst]

I still have one waiting to be cut & commented, but at the moment my mind is on other things. But it will come. :-)

[@cartellimarroni]

​@@mr_floydst😢😢😢😢 come on! 😅

[@Dougie-]

How is it to do manual chopping? Is the copy sample as slow as some of the other functions? Samping > Sample Edit > Adjust start time > Copy to next sample > Adjust start time > Copy... and so on. Viable workflow? I feel very skeptical about automatic slicing :D. Sounds like a lot of trial and error. Especially if you have to wait 2-3 minutes between each.

[@mr_floydst]

Hi! As far as I remember, the only function that was slow here is the time stretching/auto slicing. Everything else takes a couple of seconds / happens instantaneously. The workflow is well thought out and uses the 4 encoders. It's not hard to learn. But it's been a while and maybe I'm remembering incorrectly. (Can my viewers please step in?) ;-)

[@Dougie-]

@@mr_floydst And chopping obviously.. 138 sec 😅

[@mr_floydst]

Yep, my bad - I should have re-watched my own video before answering ;) Anything that taxes the CPU will be very, very slow here. Memory operations like copying, splitting manually... will be ok. But it's still slower than what you are used to from today's hardware.

[@hh-ob5bo]

Hey floyd! Im first. Should ve made an rs video by now. Nice job though

[@mr_floydst]

Hi, thanks for watching! Yep, you should. :-)

[@justp303]

Yes amazing looking forward to the part 2 maybe you can dive into the sequencer a bit more and triggering external instruments (;

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks! I already filmed that, but need to remove all the uhms and errs before releasing it. :-)

[@justp303]

@@mr_floydst looking forward to it !

[@TM-yw8bu]

Fantastic!

[@mr_floydst]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@leeoscbaker5207]

Ive always been a purest without sampling but after acquiring my RS 7000 im ready to break my mould. My friend is an amazing drummer both electronic and traditional and our trance tracks need that drumming edge that only sampling can bring.

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for watching! This sounds interesting; in which way are you planning to augment your live drumming?

[@leeoscbaker5207]

@mr_floydst not sure yet. We'll probably mic up the drums through our mixer and route the channels to an alternative output that we have connected to the RS7000.

[@adamsansom4822]

when was this released?

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for watching! In October, 2001. www.soundonsound.com/reviews/yamaha-rs7000

[@jinglemarsta]

Thanks for your video, would you be able to cover the other slicing modes, i.e. Beat 2, 3, 4… Phrase 1, 2, 3, 4… in a follow up video?

[@mr_floydst]

Hi! I'm afraid I can't. I buy and sell gear to make videos on this channel, and the RS7000 was one of those. My apologies. :)

[@jinglemarsta]

@@mr_floydst All good then, thanks anyway Floyd

[@thegerman3480]

I still actively use my RS which I got in 2001. My only gripe with it is that Yamaha never made it flexible enough so as to be able to upgrade HW. They should really develop a new version of this superb groove box coz even though Akai have MPC they sill do not include the anologue control one has on the RS. Plug a midi keyboard into the RS & it turns into a workstation that still puts quite a few modern ones to shame.

[@domingoleija3436]

Hola Floyd, Still diving into the Manuel but wondering which memory card is most reliable for the RS7000?

[@mr_floydst]

I'm afraid I don't know an answer, but as Smartmedia cards are quite rare now, any card you can buy is a good choice.

[@BliterTV]

You slice me up now... 😁 Me and my RS7000 exactly 😁

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for watching! :-)

[@basedvato]

have you found a SCSI or any workarounds the smartmedia card?

[@mr_floydst]

There are smart media adapter cards (search for that term on google) or you can buy a scsi2sd adapter (which is much more expensive).

[@Tubeinnit]

Execllent tutorial, thank you !!

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for watching!

[@lucabertari765]

GrEAt Tutorials! from a Rs 7K owner

[@mr_floydst]

Thank you very much!

[@xisotopex]

can you get it to play back one shot samples in tempo?

[@mr_floydst]

Hi! I'm afraid I don't understand your question. Are you looking for time-stretching? It can do that (see my other RS7000 video, the one where I compare it to the MPC). You can also sequence the samples in a track, so they're "on time".

[@caupolicanvg]

puedes samplear una simmons y una limmdrum por instrumentos y crear secuencias fantasticas

[@mr_floydst]

That's a good idea!

[@larrytan73]

my god 2minutes to chop a sample! sounds good though!

[@mr_floydst]

Back in 2001, that was a phenomenal speed ;-) Wait, I made that up. It's not true. PCs were much faster at that.

[@richardgajdos8943]

thank you

[@mr_floydst]

Thanks for watching! :)

[@cartellimarroni]

Anyone is waiting for a complete tutorial of all the possibilities this unit have...do you still have it?

[@mr_floydst]

Hi, I made a couple of videos on this box, and there's a playlist, kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmbbgWOFm7Z1eNU But to be honest it's (at least at the moment) unlikely I'll do new videos, I have some videos on my to-do list already ;)

[@cartellimarroni]

@mr_floydst I saw them all already 😆😅❤️🙏 but I wish more 😆 I hope that the words "at the Moment" will be a nice will... (Because this machine is so deep and actual)...👍 Thanks a lot for your answer
