Tutorial
Creating sequences that sound just right can be a tricky business, but the RS7000 makes the job as smooth and easy as pos-
sible with an extensive selection of jobs and editing functions. There’s GRID GROOVE, for example, to give your tracks
the kind of groove and feel that straightforward sequencing simply can’t achieve. In the RS7000 this flexible feature works
with sliced samples — the RS7000 will also automatically “slice” your break-beat samples into individual beat segments
— as well as tone-generator data for unprecedented “feel” control. Another sampling feature that offers hands-on creative
control is REAL TIME LOOP REMIX — a powerful and easy way to remix your sampled and sliced loops while monitor-
ing them in real time. Then there are jobs to automatically create glides, rolls, crescendos, and other subtleties that can
make a huge difference to the musical mood. If you can image it, the RS7000 can probably do it. And when you want to
really make detailed refinements, the EDIT mode gives you direct access to individual note and event parameters.
Sequences, phrases, and samples can be conveniently stored on compact, high-capacity memory cards, or on a variety of
external SCSI storage media (hard disk, MO, ZIP, etc.) connected to the RS7000’s SCSI port. You can also connect read-
only devices such as a CD-ROM drive to conveniently load samples and other data.
