Video in the listing for another mod previously posted here. "One-of-a-kind modified Yamaha RX 17 1987 12-bit programmable drum machine featuring two ROM modulation patch bays, a joystick for performance control of four pre-set effects (which may also be combined on the diagonal axes) and pitch control. These modifications generate an array of bit crushed, flanging, glitching, distorted, delayed, tonal effects, flams and digital noise. Five patch cables included- these can be 'stacked' for even deeper audio manipulation. The unit functions as normal when the patch bay is not in use. Only one available.

13 pads: tom 1/conga 1, tom 2/ conga 2, hi hat open/bongo high, ride/agogo high, cowbell/whistle, timbale high/ cuica high, bass drum/ tambourine, snare/rim shot, tom 3/conga low, hi hat closed/ bongo low, crash/agogo low, clap/shaker, timbale low/cuica low.

Accent, level, pan for each sound.
