I've read in a couple of random forum posts that Akai may have fixed the issue with an updated OS. My unit is currently running V2.2. Is anyone out there running a later version?

My Akai XR-10 has OS 2.2 and I got a backup of 2.1 too, where did you read that there could be newer version?

Why not just sample it? Does anyone really like the UI on these Yamaha drum machines?

That is a good question, I actually like old clumsy UIs and it gets more interesting, when you combine them with other clumsy UI to see how to work together aka “the charm of still using hardware”.

Yes it is, if you have a compatible EPROM reader/ writer so you can rip the ROM from an RX-11 to replace the wave ROM in an RX-11L.

But I guess that you will both have to replace the wave rom and the firmware rom? (Wave offset is coded into the firmware rom, correct?)

Question: is it possible to convert a Yamaha RX11L to Yamaha RX11 [non-L]?

I dont know anyone in the real world who actually use latin percussion....

This came as a complete surprise, and I tested it last week. 10 years ago I wished for something like this, instead of the poor ipad app from Vogel. QuasarBeach is a very convincing piece of work, and hats off to the developer. However, it was quite buggy in my testing. And sadly, the timing in Pag...

Uh and with the Behringer release you can get both for peanuts!

didn't OMD use one as well? i think i have an ancient E&MM issue with an interview that said that. i always figured that was the very prominent synth on Enola Gay...

What alternative options do you mean, Teevee?

I dont want to list all the remakes

There is written following in the book "Behind the Boards: The Making of Rock 'n' Roll's Greatest Records Revealed" by Jake Brown "Jourgensen recalled that “we had the Fairlight , but that was very limited in sense that it had a 1.6 second sampling time, so we used some Fairlight, but on a lot of th...
