Description:
Yamaha RX8 Drum Machine! This is used in excellent condition.Includes the manual and AC adapter.
The RX8 is a typical PCM-based, late '80s digital drum machine - that followed the footsteps of the granddaddy RX5. The RX8 features 43 PCM voices in its ROM, sampled at an impressive - for the time - 16bit, and a generous amount of buttons for programming it.
There are 12 rubberized pads on the front panel, and even though they don't respond to velocity, they are pleasantly comfortably to play. There are also some (basic) effects, such as detune, expand, and reverse.
The character of this drum machine is typical of the 1980s, with the obligatory "big" snares, DX7 brass hits and slap bass, quirky percussion, "cannon" toms, etc.
