Avoid placing the RX21 in locations exposed to direct sunlight or high temperatures, excessively high or low humidity, high dust concentration, or vibration. Be sure to connect the RX21 to an AC power supply that meets the power supply specifications listed on the rear of the unit.
SETTING UP Please read the PRECAUTIONS section of this manual before setting up your RX21. The CONNECTIONS diagram which folds out at the front of this manual shows you how to make the simple connections necessary to set up your RX21.
THE INSTRUMENTS The RX21 contains nine superb percussion instrument sounds. Because they are Getting to Know the digitally recorded, they are indistinguishable from the real thing, and allow you to RX21 Instruments create totally authentic drum rhythms.
buttons increases or decreases the volume by one, respectively. Holding either button down will cause the numbers to change continuously and rapidly. The total level, once set, remains at the selected value even after turning off the RX21. Press PATTERN PLAY to exit the total level mode.
When you record a pattern, pressing the ACCENT key to add an accent to a beat (no need to press an instrument key at the same time) will affect ALL instruments sounding on that beat, according to their individual accent levels. For instruments which are not to be accented, simply set their accent level to zero.
PATTERN OPERATIONS Pattern Selection With the RX21, a "pattern" denotes a one bar (one measure) drum sequence, which repeats when you play it back. The RX21 is capable of storing a total of 100 different patterns in its internal pattern memory.
the LCD, and the RX21 will switch to the new pattern at the end of the pattern that is presently playing (i.e. at the end of the measure). The LCD will then display only the new pattern number.
First, select the pattern number you wish to program (numbers 00 through 55 only: patterns 56 through 99 are permanent preset patterns and cannot be re-programmed, although you can edit the preset patterns to produce new patterns, as we’ll explain in the PATTERN COPY SECTION later in this chapter).
4. Press BEAT a third time, to return the RX21 to the real time write mode. You are now ready to program your pattern. Tap the red START button, and you’ll hear the “click track” rhythm accents. If, by mistake, you have selected a preset, there will be no click track.
grammed pattern CANNOT be changed. The quantize rate can only be changed by using the Beat Exchange function (this is described later in this chapter). Real Time Write (Example: 3/4 time, Quantize Rate 1/16, on pattern 00) PLAY INSTRUMENT KEYS TO ENTER PATTERN.
For this initial explanation, we’ll assume that you’ve selected a pattern number that is empty of data. You can now set the length and quantize rate of your pattern.
Here’s a simple example of a rhythm pattern programmed in the Step Write Mode, using a quantize rate of 1/16 (this pattern is the same as the one you entered in the real time mode). It’s shown here in regular music notation, and underneath the part of each instrument is shown in the form of a Dot Display.
PLAY INSTRUMENT KEYS TO ENTER MORE NOTES. USE ACCENT KEY TO ENTER ACCENTS, +1/YES KEY TO ENTER RESTS, CLEAR KEY PLUS IN- STRUMENT KEY TO CLEAR MISTAKES. You can now playback your pattern in the usual way, adjusting the tempo as desired. Quantize Basically, quantize determines the smallest note-increments which can be pro- grammed.
NOTE: The quantize value is set ONLY when a clear pattern is called and is being set for programming, as described in the REAL TIME PATTERN PRO- GRAMMING and STEP WRITE PATTERN PROGRAMMING sections.
The length of the Dot Display depends on two things: the length of the pattern, and the quantize rate. For example, in a 3/4 time pattern with a quantize rate of 1/12, the empty pattern will be displa.
You can use the Dot Display function to examine any pattern, whether programmed in real time or step write. This is a good way to learn what rhythms look like when displayed visually–you’ll find that even complex rhythms quantized at 1/32 look really simple on the Dot Display.
IMPORTANT: If you switch from a higher quantize rate to a lower one, only the notes occuring on the new beats will remain-all other notes will be cleared.
You can set the level of the RX21’s click track (rhythm guide during real time re- cording) before or during recording. Simply press the LEVEL key twice, then the BEAT key. You can now set the click track level using the -1/NO and +1/YES keys. The available click level range is 00–31.
First, press the CLEAR button from the pattern select mode (in this case, the pattern number selected is of no importance). When the “CLEAR PTN pp ?” display appears, simultaneously press the CLEAR and PATTERN PLAY buttons. The LCD will switch to “CLEAR ALL PTNS ?”.
Instrument Clear (Example: clear HH CLOSED from pattern 00) Pattern Copy The RX21 allows you to copy any pattern from one pattern number to another pattern number. This is particularly handy when you want to add more instruments or rhythm lines, or otherwise alter an existing pattern, and still keep the original pattern.
Pattern Copy (Example: Copy pattern 79 to pattern 00) 25.
SONG OPERATIONS In the RX21 the term "song" refers to a number of patterns connected together to form the complete rhythm track for a musical piece-for example, intro pattern, verse pattern, chorus pattern, fills, ending, etc. When used in a song, the individual patterns are referred to as “parts” of the song.
ON”. If you now press START the song that is already selected will play. If you press REPEAT, the RX21 will revert to the select song mode, and you can select another song. The REPEAT function will now apply to playback of any song programmed into the RX21.
or hold-down-for-continuous- movement actions. Also, pressing the SONG WRITE key while in this mode sends you back to the beginning of the song instantly. At any point in the song you can replace a part simply by entering a new pattern number. Let’s create a simple song consisting of four different patterns.
While in the Edit mode, the Insert function permits new patterns to be inserted The lnsert Function anywhere in the song, between already-programmed parts. Let’s take our song example, in which we’ve already programmed parts 1 through 4, and add a new part between parts 2 and 3, leaving us with a total of 5 parts instead of 4.
While in the edit mode, the delete function can be used to clear parts from a song The Delete Function program. For example, in the INSERT function described above, we inserted a new pattern into part 3. To delete this part, we simply locate part 3 using the -1/NO or +1/YES key, and press DELETE.
Still in the editing mode, you can now use the -1/NO and +1/YES keys and locate the repeats, which are displayed just before the corresponding part (in the case of Begin Repeat signs) or just after (in the case of End Repeat signs) and once located, you can delete repeats in the same way as parts (see the DELETING RE- PEATS section).
Having located the repeat sign, press DELETE, and the LCD will show "DELETE REPEAT ?”, then press +1/YES to delete, or -1/NO to cancel the delete function. Delete Repeat (Example: delete Begin Repeat at pattern 2) NOTE: If you delete a Begin Repeat sign, the corresponding End Repeat sign will be ineffective, and vice versa.
All songs in memory (songs 0–3) may be cleared simultaneously if desired. This is a "hidden function" in the sense that it cannot be accessed directly-in order to prevent accidental clearing of the entire song memory contents.
CASSETTE OPERATIONS Although the RX21 has a considerable amount of internal storage capacity, a cassette interface has been provided to facilitate storage on a standard cassette tape of an unlimited number of your original patterns and songs.
the CASSETTE button. The LCD will read "SAVE BREAK” or "VERIFY BREAK”, depending on which function you have interrupted. The RX21 will stop for about 2 seconds, then you can return to the cassette mode by pressing CASSETTE again.

MIDI FUNCTIONS The RX21 features MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) IN and OUT terminals on the rear panel (see the CONNECTIONS diagram for details).
In this example, which in effect has the same sound potential as the previous one, the RX21 controls the QX7 which in turn controls a TX7. It outputs STOP and START signals, and the MIDI Clock signal, which will control the tempo of the QX7, which has its clock set to EXTERNAL.
APPLICATION EXAMPLE: 2 RX21’s. In this example, the left hand RX21 sends MIDI data to the right hand RX21, as described later in this chapter. Whichever way you wish to send data, the con- nections should be made as shown. Clock Modes The RX21 offers two clock modes (also known as sync modes or synchronization modes) which function as follows: 1.
The following parameters must be set, in order to carry out the various MIDI control MIDI Parameters operations that we’ve just discussed. 1. RECEIVE CHANNEL (1 through 76) MIDI information is transmitted on 16 channels, and for key number reception, the RX21 must be set to the same MIDI channel as the MIDI instrument(s) to which it is connected.
A key number transmitted by any MIDI synthesizer, sequencer or music computer will activate any RX21 instrument. For example, you can manually “play” the RX21 "drum kit” on a MIDI keyboard:.
Transmitting MIDI Data The RX21 can function as part of a tape sync setup, where digital impulses recorded Tape Sync with the on tape can be used to control MIDI instruments for a Total Auto-Play system. In RX21. the example illustrated, the tape sync signal is recorded on track 1 of a four-track cassette using a Yamaha MT44D multitrack tape deck.
