"The Yamaha RX-17 features standard drum sounds including bass drum, snare, toms, hi hats, cymbal, claps, as well as latin sounds like timbales, congas, and cuico, with 1000 user programmable patterns, 10 songs memory, and programmable volume control. Full MIDI implementation makes it very flexible when using it with sequencers and other MIDI boxes as both master, slave, and a sound module. The RX-17 has MIDI in and out, stereo 1/4" outputs, and 1/4" headphone output. This unit has been professionally modified with:

* 3 noise filters- these add variable amounts of distortion, noise, and feedback
* 2 glitch switches- these turn the normal sounds into clicks and odd noises
* 16 point RCA patchbay- combine any points with included rca cables for dozens of new sounds and effects
* 1/4" line input jack with volume control(red knob) - This also works through 2 of the noise filters
* custom hardwood side panels for "vintage" synth look
* clear Lexan control panel with red LED backlights

This RX-17 operates normally with the switches in the off position, and as an extreme noise machine with the switches activated in many combinations.The Circuit Bent RX-17 is a great machine for experimental and electronic musicians looking for a unique sound and sample source. The RX-17 is powered by a 9 volt DC adapter."
