I agree. The synth is not that great, the drums are alright, but then I've got plenty of decent drumkits loaded into my A3K. I'd rather see more storage space on the RM1X, maybe with a built in ZIP drive. And those built in patterns, I never use them. On the other hand, there is a market for an all in one RM1X, so maybe Yamaha should come out with two diffrent models, an RM0X and an RM2X. ...marc ---------- >De�: "Tage Widsell" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >� : [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Objet�: Re: Rm2x? >Date�: Jeud 18 mai 2000 10:48 > > Word! > > I say ditch the built in synth and focus on MIDI and sequencing.
