THE INSTRUMENTS
Getting to
Know
the
RX11
Instruments
The
RX11
instruments can be played
in real-time
(without
programming
patterns or songs) by tapping on
the black
instrument
buttons.
Using
either
a
pair of
headphones
plugged
into
the
RX11
PHONES
jack,
a
stereo
sound system
fed
from
the
RX11
L
and R
OUTPUT
jacks, or
a
sound
system
incorporating
a
mixer
fed
from
the
RX11's
individual
instrument
outputs,
turn the
RX11
ON
and
repeatedly tap
any
of the black
instrument buttons
(RIMSHOT, TOM1, TOM2,
etc.)
while
gradually increasing the
level
of the
linear
VOLUME
control
until
you
can
hear the instrument
at
a
comfortable
listening
level.
•
A
brief
output
pulse appears
at
the
RX11
outputs
when
the
power
is
initially
turned
on.
To
prevent
this
from
possibly
damaging your
speaker system,
make
sure the
fet
master volume
control of your sound
system, or the
volume
of the
mixer
channel
to
which
the
RX11
is
connected,
is
set to
minimum
before the
RX11
is
turned
ON.
Better
yet,
turn the
RX1
1
on
first,
then your sound system.
You
can
now
"play"
all
the instrument buttons
to
become
familiar
with
their
sound.
Some
of the instrument buttons,
however, have
more
than one
function.
The
following chart
lists all
the instruments
available with the instrument buttons:

Selecting Instruments
First,
enter the
instrument
select
mode
by
holding
down
the
green
FUNCTION
button while
pressing the white INST-
CHANGE
button.
The
LCD
panel
will
read
"SELECT
INST
MODE"
indicating that
the instrument
mode
is
active.
Then
press the black instrument
button
you
wish to
switch.
Only
the multi-instrument buttons
will
have any
effect
in this
mode-SE,
BD1, BD2,
HH
OPEN,
HH
CLOSED, COWBELL,
RIMSHOT
and
CLAPS.
If,
in
response to the
"SELECT
INST
MODE"
display,
the
SD1
instrument button
is
pressed,
the
LCD
panel
will
respond
with the
currently selected
SD1
voice
(refer to
above
instru-
ment
chart).
This can be changed
to
any
of the 8
available
voices
by
using the
+1/YES
or
-1/NO
buttons
to
scroll
forward
or
backward through
the voice
list.
Once
the desired
snare has been
selected, exit the instrument
mode
by
pressing
the
INST-CHANGE
button.
The same method
of selection applies to
all
multi-instrument
buttons: the
+1/YES
and
-1/NO
buttons
select
the
instru-
ment, and
the
INST-CHANGE
button
exits
the instrument
mode.
The
instrument
mode
can be exited immediately (without
making
an instrument
selection)
by
pressing the
INST-
CHANGE
button.
