Getting to Know the
RX21 Instruments
RX21 INSTRUMENT
CHART
Total Level
The
RX21
contains
nine
superb
percussion
instrument
sounds.
Because
they
are
digitaily
recorded,
thev
are
indistinguishable
from
the
real
thing,
and
allow
you
to
create
totally
authentic
drum
rhytnms.
The
RX21
instruments
can
be
played
in
real-time
(without
programming
patterns
or
songs)
by
tapping
on
the
biack
in-
strument
buttons.
Using
either
a
pair
of
headphones
plugged
into
the
RX21
PHONES
jack,
ora
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.

SD Medium-tuned snare
TOM 1 10" deep-body tom-tom
TOM 2 12" deep-body tom-tom
TOM 3 14” floor tom-tom

CLAPS Hand claps
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.
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
=лл”
(nn
being
the
volume
level).
The
total level
is
adjustable
from
00
(silence)
to
63.
