Yamaha RS7000 Tutorial: Easy way to complex beats

[@infiniteheight]

I made a pack filled with complex beats and much more. Check it out here: sound7.co.uk/products/yamaha-rs7000-abstrctd

[@Complexautist]

Complex beats you say 👀

[@Complexautist]

Confirmation #EQX3D... Lovely stuff!! Better get new smart media reader now. Needed one time ago, ah the days before usb interface haha Thanks for the complex beats bruv!

[@infiniteheight]

@@Complexautist thanks for the support mate! Hope you’ll like your new sounds, I put a lot of energy into that pack. I use a cheap sm card reader from Amazon. It does the job!

[@CaptainZuurpruim]

Nice! It also motivates me to fire up my old RS7000.. It is a great machine after all!

[@infiniteheight]

Yeah!! It sure is. Thanks for watching 👍

[@tracyharms3548]

Definitely hungry for more tutorial videos. Thanks for this one.

[@infiniteheight]

You got it! Thanks for watching.

[@marcelzoer3655]

A track is being born 👌

[@infiniteheight]

We shall see! 😃 thanks for the support, man.

[@Tubeinnit]

This is really cool, nice & clear... great work thanks! 🎶👍🏼

[@infiniteheight]

Glad you like it, thanks for watching! 👊

[@1heUndertaker]

You are so helpful taking the time to create and share these videos ! Thank you, and yes more please 😃

[@infiniteheight]

Thanks for commenting. I'm glad it is useful to you!

[@johnyavocado1126]

Yes! More More!

[@infiniteheight]

Coming up! Thanks for watching!

[@leecheneler6202]

very cool tutorial! - thank you, I hope you make more!

[@infiniteheight]

Thanks for the feedback! The reception has been great and I liked doing this one so there's more coming.

[@yannyann3455]

I love complex beats, thanks a lot for this very nice video, if you could please make a longer one, doing a deeper exploration of the sequence play fx, lfo and pitch section...

[@infiniteheight]

Hello and thanks for your comment and suggestions! I uploaded two longer ones, one from two days ago. Have a look on the channel and let me know if they were helpful! Cheers, Sonny

[@yannyann3455]

@@infiniteheight OK I will check that, thank you ;)

[@Expectaz]

Thanks a lot Sonny!! Always enjoy your content. Beat sounds great and inspires me to go jam on the RS7K

[@infiniteheight]

Thanks for such a nice comment, Joris! My pleasure and I'm very curious to hear what you'll do with the RS in your new state of the art studio.

[@Expectaz]

@@infiniteheight Already been creating some beats on the RS. I think I will sample them into the Akai Force for convenience. The loading times of the RS are better with the SCSI drive, but in no way compares to the modern SSD drives. The RS however is so good at resampling beats and get creative with the filters, lfo, beat repeat and loop remix/slicing functions. Awesome stuff

[@infiniteheight]

I agree. One of my favourite things about the RS is to turn it on and start making music instantly. Projects with lots of samples don't allow that. I only used resampling on one project because I wanted two separate delay times, but I'll maybe give it another go after what you say here.

[@camidelaigua]

The RS7000 master👏🔥

[@infiniteheight]

Thanks! 😁

[@straightforwardAcidTechno]

great video, thnx for taking the time, i'm actually learning something here. sheers bro🤗

[@infiniteheight]

Thanks for the feedback! Do you have an RS too? I'm looking to add an MC-909.

[@straightforwardAcidTechno]

Not yet, but i'm thinking about it, meanwhile i'm getting familiar with it trough yur video's. Aw the MC909 yes you should ad one. its a beast that keeps on giving

[@infiniteheight]

@@straightforwardAcidTechno Yeah, I've used the MC-909 a bit and the sampler and synth are superior. It also has a more polished sound. The RS seems to have more sequencing tricks and overall more robust. It's a heavyweight title fight, though. In the middleweight there's the MC-505 vs the RM1x :D

[@Complexautist]

So much that you can do which you cannot on any modern groovebox!

[@infiniteheight]

That’s the truth!

[@Noise-Conductor]

Cool tips! You can also use the Play FX Harmonize settings to add extra layers of drum & take it to another level.

[@infiniteheight]

That's awesome on the bd/sd/hh kits.

[@Noise-Conductor]

@@infiniteheight You can get some happy accidents on the other drum-kits sometimes.

[@infiniteheight]

@@Noise-Conductor thanks for the tip, I'll have to try it out :)

[@Elektragen]

I miss this thang😉Favorite function was the Midi delay & clock shift

[@infiniteheight]

Yeah they're such great features. To my knowledge it hasn't been expanded upon in more recent machines. It's a shame!

[@ItsMeLos]

The RM1x did it but it's nothing compared to the 7000. Maybe Behringer will read this 🤔 🙂 😂

[@infiniteheight]

@@ItsMeLos just imagine those functions together with probability trigs!

[@distorson]

Very interesting machine and way of creating a beat. Since I'm not very familiar with the RS7000 yet, are the drum sounds you used samples or are they synthesized by the RS with a kind of drum synthesis engine?

[@infiniteheight]

Hey, thanks for your comment. They are internal sounds on the RS. It has 63 or 64 drum kits that sound surprisingly good! If you're not put off by a bit of a vintage workflow, it has a pretty decent sampler as well. I don't use it much but when I do I'm always surprised by how good it sounds.

[@xisotopex]

how many phrase type samples can this thing play? a whole songs worth?

[@infiniteheight]

Oh, a whole live set's worth!

[@xisotopex]

@@infiniteheight I have this thing, part of a trifecta to find a hardware sequencer.... do you use it mostly as a groovebox or sequencer? never learned to use it, its just gathering dust along with a mv8000 and a deluge, and a "broken" rm1x.... I cant seem to break to DAW chain its just so convenient...

[@xisotopex]

@@infiniteheight could a whole song be built just using samples?

[@infiniteheight]

@@xisotopex I think it's good to ask oneself "why", and in your case why you'd want to break the DAW chain in the first place. Do you know the answer? It sounds like you have a killer combo with those three machines but a DAW will always be more convenient, if convenience is what you're after... Now, if you say "I want the RS because of the loop remix, or the MV because of its pads, etc...you have something that will push you to use the gear more, over the DAW. Re your other question: with the internal samples you can build a whole track and far more, have a look at my channel...in the four uploads prior to this one there are project files to download so that you can try it out in your machine. You can build tracks with your own samples as well, but in your case I think you got that covered with the MV. This answer got longer than expected. Hope it helps. Cheers, Sonny 👍
