Rs7000 voice question

[Rawrasaur]

I just acquired an Rs7000 several days ago and I am still trying to work out a few things. Its very intuitive and I have figured out almost everything. But I am still curious if there is a way to create new voice using the synth engine, or if I can make new sounds by combining the different waves, kinda like the wavestation.

Any help would be appreciated!

in my experience, you will think you figured everything out, and then stumble upon a lot of other things between now and much later into your rs7000 using experiences.

But I am still curious if there is a way to create new voice using the synth engine

no, and voices changes are saved to the sequence you make the changes in, but there is nothing to stop you from creating a "sequence" of cool sounds that you save and copying parts of that sequence to latter tracks.

welcome to the club, you might find this to be a valuble resource: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/RS7000/ the leader over there (Zamsie) is a member over here and hes an all around cool guy, and can answer a lot more RS questions better than i can.

Congratulations, keep at it, the RS7000 is an amazingly deep machine and you really do get out of it what you are prepared to put into it.

RTFM twice. And keep it handy at all times. I still find new stuff / figure things out even after having it for ages.

As for the questions, like synapsecollapse said.

modification from existing sounds is possible, but not as comfort as with some standard synth. because you would have to save it in the song/pattern in the sequencer track and save it to a media storage, since there's no RAM storage in it. while not clearly a motif, the normal voice consisting of 2 elements which are layered to make a sound on some voice.

kinda like the wavestation.

that would need several things:
1. more than 2 layers in a voice
2. wavesequence
3. advance vector
I would say that the Pattern mode, would possibly do some Wavesequence busy track impression with several voices running together, but never the same as the real wavesequence as in the Wavestation. As mentioned for the Vector, you might usually need 4 waves in a voice and a vectoring feature, there could also be some work around in the flexible pattern mode for some vector impression sounds, but again, not clearly the same as said with Yamaha's own TG33.

I'm not familar with the wavestation What everyone has said so far about the RS is on the money as far as I can tell. Nice that you got a lot of it down already, but yeah, you can learn something new or pick up something you've not done on it everyday for years.

The voices are only single part per track, but you've got 16 tracks to work with on it plus using its sampler for resampling you can pull out some nice trickery to keep it sounding on top things. Samples and their settings can be stored independently and recalled to other parts, but its internal voices can't be stored to any kind of user banks that I know. What it does is store the voice settings and their parms to scenes, and the scenes are then stored with the pattern or song. So saving the Pattern and or Song will save your voices. This is great because unlike some other gear you won't have to worry about loading up a song and having a part sound drastically difrent simply because you stored a voice bank over one you forgot was in use on another pattern/song. Most of its canned voices are dry with neutral settings too, so they do often require some tweakage to get it up to par with the best of them, it can be done and I do it all the time. Who wants to brag about using their synth's presets anyway?
