Yamaha RS7000 Tutorial: Starting a Track from Scratch

[@infiniteheight]

Hey everyone! I got a new pack out for the RS, called Abstrctd. Get it here: sound7.co.uk/products/yamaha-rs7000-abstrctd

[@DarkSideofSynth]

And that's why this machine brings endless hours of fun.

[@digitaldiezel5870]

Always love to see RS700 videos. This was my very first pro audio instrument.

[@infiniteheight]

That's awesome! You still got it?

[@marcelzoer3655]

Yes Yes Yes 🙌 🎉. This makes me so happy. Again you show the creativity of the RS. I can’t hardly believe I never used the Loop Remix function before you showed it . Thanks for the great video.

[@infiniteheight]

My pleasure, Marcel! I'm glad you find it useful.

[@vishnudh1216]

Damn that it looks in good condition!! Almost as good as new. Wish I had a chance to buy one in this condition.

[@infiniteheight]

You might, with patience! Ask around in the Facebook groups. Not everything that's for sale is listed somewhere.

[@alibergermusic]

this is a super advanced video, thank you for the ideas!

[@infiniteheight]

I'm glad it's helpful!

[@silviabassova962]

Great work for the RS 7000 community! ❤ I can tell it’s awesome 👏

[@heinseemann7070]

What a beast. I want one!

[@infiniteheight]

Yeah it has quite the footprint! Get it!

[@leecheneler6202]

thank you for doing another rs7000 tutorial so quickly - these are really helpful, thank you!

[@infiniteheight]

Thank you so much for the feedback. It's great to know they're helpful.

[@daniberlanga]

Great video and awesome loop with Warp IDM vibes.

[@infiniteheight]

Thank you! The RS is THE IDM machine. Almost everything instantly turns into old Warp Records style.

[@MikeUIibarri]

sounds good

[@infiniteheight]

Thanks! Glad you like it.

[@mrpimpston2156]

It's was my first beat machine I still have it

[@infiniteheight]

Nice!!

[@Noise-Conductor]

Always good to see a new #RS7000 video. This made me remember how good it can sound if you not using all 16 tracks at once to make beats. I'm in the process of moving all my RS beats to the Akai Force, but I sampled all of the RS drums into it & they still sound great especially after you add the filter & FXs. This synth will make a great sound source for auto-sampling.

[@infiniteheight]

I hear you. I rarely use more than eight, sometimes a ninth channel for sfx...which seems to be good practice when I'm working in the daw too, tbh...cool that you're repurposing the old beats. Would be good to listen to it one day :)

[@Noise-Conductor]

@Sonny Nieuwenhuizen I didn’t mind if it didn't sound good because I was just using the RS as a sketch pad & and I knew I would replace most of the sounds later. I'll keep you posted with the new RS music. But it may be a while because first I still have to transfer music from other machines from over the 21 years I've been making music. When I'm done, I'll take the best sketches & have enough music to make 5 albums that I plan to release as a series. People like to binge nowadays...

[@dave3987]

Use use my rs7000 with the modx work great together. Thinking about getting the Akai one or the maschine plus.

[@Noise-Conductor]

@@dave3987 The Force is closer to RS7000 than the MPC. Never used the Maschine so I can't speak on it. I hope you find what's best for you.

[@domingoleija3436]

My RS is getting an overhaul so i hope it's a simple repair. That thang has more knobs then competitive work stations/Arrangers as KORG NOW calls it🎼 8:00

[@infiniteheight]

I hope so too for you! IMO, what's on the market today is very different from the Yamaha, Korg and Roland machines from 20 years ago. The manufacturers have moved in different directions. Gaining speed and power but losing something along the way as well.

[@sammythebull116]

i sold my rs 7000 3 years ago because i wanted to work more with software / cubase, after endless problems with software updates and these stuff i buy another rs 7000, i miss it daily in my studio,and I'll be happy if I have one in my studio again!! Your RS looks very clean mate do you find a new one after all these years?!?

[@infiniteheight]

Yes, I have reached the same conclusion. If it's a piece of gear that gets some use, it should never be sold. You never know how you'll feel about it later :) I got mine a few years ago from someone who hadn't used it much, who in turn had bought it in mint condition. I see some clean ones every now and then. Good luck!

[@rafaelescudeiro101]

Awesome Sonny! 🤩

[@infiniteheight]

Thanks for watching man!

[@junglejingle7836]

pls keep doing it rs tutorial is lacking on the web

[@infiniteheight]

Thanks for watching and thanks the feedback. Have a look at the channel. There's two more workflow videos there and more coming soon! 👍

[@wolfgangdevries127]

Gaaf en instructief.

[@infiniteheight]

Hoi! Bedankt voor de feedback 👍

[@albordeestudios5966]

thank you! 🙂

[@straightforwardAcidTechno]

very nice, thnx

[@infiniteheight]

Thanks to you as well!

[@markhofland1898]

Have the RS7000 for many years in my home studo. Started with the RM1X (still have it). But this is a great video. I never red the manual or sit behind the 7000 to really understand the logic etc. I will absolutely give it a try after seeing this video. Thumbs up!

[@infiniteheight]

Hey Mark, thank you for your comment! I hope you'll have a good time with the machine, it is worth spending some time with because it's really a unique instrument.

[@kevinanderson7243]

Please make more videos from scratch please

[@infiniteheight]

Cheers Kevin! Coming up. Let me know if there's anything in particular you're interested in knowing.

[@domingoleija3436]

Do you have sample packs for sell Maestro?

[@infiniteheight]

Hello Domingo! Thank you for your interest. Have a look on the channel. Under many videos you'll find a download link in the description for the RS project file, and they're for free! Under the latest video there's an option for paypal donation (echoplain2music [at] gmail [dot] com) if you find the projects helpful and wish to support my work! 👍😃 For sample packs...if you search on Loopmasters you might still find a couple of packs I made in the past. Maybe new ones will be announced on the channel soon! Thanks! Sonny

[@Ascenscion777]

👍👍👍

[@infiniteheight]

Tackar så mycket!!

[@eyesintheskies]

Wish I’d picked one up before they passed the 500 mark, trying to save for a Waldorf iridium and one of these for 800 is really going to set me back, then add on the learning curve for both, there’s just not enough time. Can anyone tell I’m trying to talk myself out of it 😂

[@infiniteheight]

FWIW I got mine for more than 500 a few years ago. Then again, it was and is pretty much "as new". With some patience you could score one for less. That said, to me it is worth even more than 800.

[@cartellimarroni]

Love your videos...🎉 But...can you do more tutorial for beginners? This is a wonderful but very deep machine for a beginner 😢. It will be very usefull a complete and simple tutorial of all the function and possibilities of this Yamaha so that a complete newby can understand ❤ can you help us? Thanks a lot ! Subscribed and liked 🙏

[@infiniteheight]

Thanks! Currently not doing a lot of work with the RS but if it does happen I will consider making a “get started” video.

[@JockJaimeRadfordBromley]

Mine won't power on 😭 I miss it

[@infiniteheight]

Fix it!

[@ukusila]

🤗

[@vbasova66]

👏🏻👍🏼❤️

[@infiniteheight]

Thank you, Veni!!

[@marcosrotllan]

1st 2nd hand groovebox, i was absolutely unable to do whatever with that brick. I forgot maybe intentionally during a move 15 years ago

[@infiniteheight]

That's too bad! What did you get in its place?

[@domingoleija3436]

I will keep following your tuts Senor SONNY. $HORT segments seem to help slow learning curve folk like myself 🎼🤔 🥸🤓

[@infiniteheight]

Thanks for the feedback Mr Leija. I think around ten minutes seems to be the way forward so I'll keep that in mind for the next upload. I'm glad it's helpful for you!
