The Yamaha RS7000 Live Performance Howto 5/7

2.3 Information Management

In order to play a perfect performance, you have to kill a few braincells before you climb onto

the stage for the information management. You already know that there are phrases, but

usually, you didn't change them or used sections to switch them (or even the pattern

chain/song mode).

2.3.1 Phrases

One big problem on the RS7000 is that switching styles causes a little (but still noticeable)

delay since it switches the effects unit. Another problem (which isn't directly RS7000 related)

is that when you switch sections, that all phrases are switched. So why don't we just setup

one huge section which contains all stuff we need? 256 phrases should be enough for one

live performance, and you can put other (different) live performances into other

sections/styles, maybe with a single sound that bypasses both sections. Using this

technique, you could create a live-performance which can last half a day – and that should

really be enough.

2.3.1.1 Organizing the phrases

I usually split my live performance into several tracks, and I organize my patterns after a

specific schema. You have to know that I have set a dedicated track for each part of my

songs – since it is possible to use 256 phrases and 16 tracks, I decided that I have a

maximum of 16 songs. In my live performance, I used the following track layout:

Track Contents Short name

Bass Drum BD

2 Hihat Closed CH

3 Hihat Open OH

4 Snare SN

5 Claps CP

Ride Cymbal 1 RC1

7 Ride Cymbal 2 RC2

8 Bass BA

9 Lead LD

10 Strings ST

Loop 1 / Efx 1 LP1

12 Loop 2 / Efx 2 LP2

Loop 3 / Efx 3 LP3

14 Loop 4 / Efx 4 LP4

15 Aux 1 AUX1

16 Aux 2 AUX2

As you can see, each track has a dedicated “Instrument” which it plays. Therefore, it is very

easy to split up the 256 phrases into chunks of 16 tracks. For example, the Bass Drum of

Track 1 is on Phrase 1, the Bass Drum of Track 2 is on Phrase 2, the closed Highhat of

Track 1 is on Phrase 17, the closed Highhat of Track 2 is on Phrase 18 and so on. You can
