Yamahas Blue Meanies

Post by polar69 » Fri Jan 18, 2008 11:13 am

I've posted this question on another site but didn't really get anywhere


I have a Yamaha Rm1x, I like it, I like the sounds...not too keen on the manual but I've figured most of it out.

Anyway can anyone tell me if the An1X is basically an RM1x with a keyboard


Thanks in advance !

No it's not, it's an analogue modelling synth.

The Cs1x is a rompler and has no sequencer. You do realize that you can just plug any midi keyboard into the rm1x right?

The RM1x uses the CS1x synth engine.
I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

they share the same engine, but a bit different sound set. the RM1x has 32Mbit (which supposed to be the equivalent of 4 MB) Rom size, while the CS1x has 4.5 MB and a performance mode to layer up to 4 voices.
