Since the RM1X was mentioned, I wanted to point out the the RS7000 is basically an upgraded RM1X with sampling capabilities added. ? It’s quite a bit bigger/heavier but the RM1X often goes for a premium for some reason, so the RS7000 might be a better fit (and more bang for the buck) if size/weight is not an issue.
?
Also a couple of the features of the RM1X that were added via firmware require you to buy a new firmware chip and install it… It’s not expensive about $20 or $30 and it’s fairly easy to install since it’s just pulling a chip and placing it in…but I thought it was worth mentioning if you’re looking for an RM1X that you might want to verify which firmware it is running.
?
Also a very common mod on the RM1X is that people will change the soft press buttons with more clicky tactile buttons… This is also true of the RS7000 but not done as a mod nearly as often for some reason (at least in my experience).
They are all great Yamaha machines the biggest question is finding the one that best suits your needs.
