Yamaha RM50 Rhythm Sound Module - $100 (Upper East Side)
96th Street near 2nd Avenue
QR Code Link to This Post
The RM50 packs quite a punch, both in terms of its sound quality and its complement of features.
MIDI channels 1-16 can each be assigned a rhythm kit or a pitched voice, or else turned off. To pitch any drum or percussion sound across the keyboard you simply assign it to a pitched-voice channel. The module also provides a small number of bass sounds for you to use as pitched voices in conjunction with your rhythms. It comes programmed with 64 preset rhythm kits covering a variety of musical styles (see sidebar), and you can also program 64 kits of your own, and store one or two sets of 64 kits to a RAM data card (MCD-32 or MCD-64 respectively).
