The Yamaha RS7000 Live Performance Howto 3/7
1 Introduction
Welcome to the Rs7000 Live Performance Howto. I hope you enjoy reading it and use the
tips and tricks you find in there. All this is free of charge, however, if you find these hints, tips
and the document as whole useful, you are encouraged to send me a CD of your live sets
(preferably detroit techno style), or book me if you like to. Feedback with not-so-nice points
or invalid hints is also nice to have. Have fun!
1.1 Motivation
The reason why I wrote this is to publish my tips and tricks to the RS7000 User world and the
idea to get feedback from other people using the RS7000 in their live sets.
1.2 About me
My name is Timo A. Hummel. I use the RS7000 in my live performance to make people
dance on the ceiling (almost). My philosophy when playing live is to have control over many
aspects of my live performance, and it is also my philosophy which forbids me to just press
play and the whole performance plays on its own. In my live performances, when I don't do
anything, then nothing will happen. I hope many RS7000 owners share this philosophy and
make use of this document.
1.3 Topics covered
Some of the topics covered in this document aren't that much RS7000 specific, but are more
ideas how to organize and create a live performance with the ability to have full control over
what's happening.
The chapter 2 is dedicated to some basic live performance techniques I use in my own
performances.
In chapter 2.1, I'll try to explain the goals for the chapter “Getting Started”.
In chapter 2.2, I'll try to explain some of the RS7000 operating modes and why everything
else than the pattern mode is evil in the context of live performances.
In chapter 2.3, I'll try to explain how to organize the pieces of information (like phrases and
tracks) and how to get direct access during the live performance.
In chapter 2.4, I'll try to explain how to integrate the RS7000 into the live equipment setup,
including using the RS7000 master effect with all devices you've got.
Currently, there are only chapters 1 and 2, which will change in the future (chapter 3 will
most probably contain information how to prepare and pre-arrange live performances in the
studio).
2 Getting started
I hope this isn't your first session using the Yamaha RS7000, if it is, please stop reading now
and use some other tutorials on the web and/or the Yamaha RS7000 operation manual. I
assume that you know how to perform basic tasks and jobs, and that you are able to find
menu entries on your own.
2.1 Goals
In this chapter, you learn how to organize your patterns for quick'n'dirty access on the stage
without loosing all control possibilities, as well as what a good track layout looks like.
