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

create totally authentic drum rhythms. The RX21 instruments can be played in

real-time (without programming patterns or songs) by tapping on the black in-

strument buttons.

Using either a pair of headphones plugged into the RX21 PHONES jack, or a sound

system fed from the RX21 L and R OUTPUT jacks, turn the RX21 on and repeatedly

tap any of the black instrument buttons (SD, TOM1, TOM2, etc.). You can now

“play” all the instrument buttons to become familiar with their sound.

NOTE:

Although HH OPEN and HH CLOSED can be used together in the same pattern,

they cannot be used on the same beat (this is obviously also true in a live

drum kit). If you have programmed in an HH CLOSED note, programming

in an HH OPEN note on the same beat will clear the HH CLOSED note and

replace it with an HH OPEN note, and vice versa.

Total Level

The RX21 lets you adjust both the total level (volume) of all the instruments

combined and individually adjust the level of each instrument so you can achieve

the best overall balance or “drum mix".

The total level mode is entered simply by pressing the blue LEVEL button. The LCD

will read “TOTAL LEVEL=nn” (nn being the volume level).

The total level is adjustable from 00 (silence) to 63. Pressing the +1/YES or -1/NO
