HOW

TO

USE

THIS

MANUAL

Congratulations

on

your

purchase

of

the

Yamaha

RX5

Digital

Rhythm

Programmer!

Your

RX5

has

been

developed

through

over

a

century

of

Yamaha

research

and

design,

using

state-of-the-art

electronic

music

technology,

combined

with

in-depth

knowledge

of

the

art

of

making

music.

The

RX5

features

advanced

microcomputer

contro!

plus

a

top-quality

digital

PCM

sound

storage

and

reproduction

system.

With

the

RX5

you

will

be

able

to

program

virtually

any

type

of

rhythm

pattern

as

well

as

melodic

sequences,

and

since

the

instrument

sounds

are

digitally

recorded

they

are

virtually

indistinguishable

from

live

instruments.

To

ensure

that

the

RX5

will

give

you

maximum

performance

and

versatility,

we

urge

you

to

read

this

manual

carefully

while

operating

the

RX5.

The

manual

begins

with

the

all-important

PRECAUTIONS

section.

The

INSTRUMENTS

chapter

gives

you

an

introduction

to

the

sounds

available

on the

RX5.

The

next

three

chapters

describe

how

to

create

Patterns,

Songs

and

Song

Chains.

The

following

MODE

chapters

contain

full

descriptions

of

the

operating

modes

of

the

RX5.

Each

chapter

contains

a

brief

OVERVIEW,

a

list

of

the

JOBS

(functions)

in

that

mode,

and

full

details

of

each

JOB.

If

you

encounter

any

unusual

messages

on

the

LCD

(Liquid

Crystal

Display)

of

your

RX5,

refer

to

the

ERROR

MESSAGES

chapter

near

the

end

of

the

manual.

Finally,

the

PATTERN

CHART

and

SONG/CHAIN

CHART

enable

you

to

keep

an

accurate

written

record

of

the

rhythm

programs

you

have

created

on

your

RX5,

and

you

can

use

the

"DRUM

SET"

CHART

to

record

voice

editing

and

key

assign

parameters

for

a

complete

24-instrument

drum

set

which

you

have

created

on

your

RX5.

And

now

—-

2$

all

up

to

you.

Enjoy

your

Yamaha

RX5

Digital

Rhythm

Programmer!
