TODAYS VICTIM: YAMAHA RX17

This has been hanging around for some time and we're sick of the sight of it, so its got to go! Bidding starts at 1p

Sometimes you might wonder why Yamaha released so many drum machines under the RX name that were so similar in many ways, and we don't have an answer for you, The Yamaha RX-17 was near the bottom of the RX range with only the RX21 and the dreadful preset only RX120 beneath it in terms of features. Having said that, when the RX17 has been circuit bent like this machine, it is capable of eating its older cousins such as the RX15 or RX11 for breakfast, dinner and any other meal you might care to mention!

The circuit bent RX17 has a kind of gentle savagery to it that you don't find on any other bent drum machine, as the sounds tend to be a little more crisp and separated, rather than mashed together in one terrifying wall of distorted glitching noise.

This machine includes a 24 way Bend Bus switching matrix that warps and glitches the onboard sounds in all manner of unlikely and disturbing ways. Each switch connects one bend point to the common 'bend bus' when activated. If you then use another switch to connect another bend point to the bend bus, these two bend points will interact with each other to create some of the most bizarre and extreme audio mangling effects you'll ever hear.

Each bend point has a different effect and will also change its effect depending on which other points its connected to at the time. You can activate as many switches as you want at any time, but you will need at least two switched on to activate any effect. Effects available range from what sounds like comb filters, ring modulation, bit crushing, distortion, bizarre time stretching, EQ, and what can only be described as audio smearing™.

The RX-17 seems especially good at shimmering ring mod and chopping effects on the high frequency sounds, along with unexpected percussion sequences on each drum hit i.e. the crash cymbal can start as a crash and then strangely morph into a clap, timbale or any / all of the other sounds in sequence. It also seems keen on creating looping within the sound sample, as if a short loop has been set up and the loop start point is moved along the sample as it plays back.

This machine will never be a punchy bass monster, but if you want a cheap source of some of the most bizarre circuit bent percussion sounds you'll ever hear, you won't go far wrong with a RX17.

The RX17 has 26 typically 80's Yamaha onboard sounds, with Midi in/out, and a pair of audio outputs. You can find a copy of the manual HERE, although its about as difficult to use as a toothbrush, so we doubt you'll need it.

Take a listen to the demos below to get an idea of the kind of sounds this machine can now produce. With none of the switches activated, it acts like a normal RX17."

"Many units sound well wehn playing alone. I've tested here how assertive the RYTM in an arrangement with mostly FM sounds of the fabulous groove box YAMAHA DX-200 and, later, a KORG VOLCA BASS."
