Congratulations
on
your
purchase
of
a
Yamaha
RX21
Digital
Rhythm
Programmer!
Your
RX21
represents
the
crystallization
of
the
most
sophisticated
electronic
music
technology,
combining
advanced
microcomputer
control
with
a
top-quality
digital
PCM
sound
storage
and
reproduction
system.
With
the
RX21
you
will
be
able
to
program
virtually
any
type
of
rhythm
pattern,
and
since
the
instrument
sounds
are
digitally
recorded
they
are
indistinguishable
from
live
percussion
instruments.
To
ensure
that
the
RX21
will
give
you
maximum
performance
and
versatility,
we
urge
you
to
read
this
operation
manual
carefully
before
attempting
to
operate
the
unit.
A
handy
fold-out
diagram
of
the
RX21
control
panel
allows
you
to
instantly
locate
any
controls
mentioned
in
the
text,
so
that
you
can
familiarize
yourself
with
the
operations
as
easily
and effortlessly as possible.
The
44
preset
patterns
stored
in
the
RX21's
memory
are
detailed
in
the
accompanying
RX21
PATTERN
BOOK.
It
also
contains
other
rhythm
patterns
for
you
to
try
out,
a
pattern
rN
4“
chart
in
which
you
can
note
down
your
own
personally
programmed
patterns,
and
a
|
song chart.
