THE INSTRUMENTS

Getting to Know the RX11 Instruments

The RX11 instruments can be played in real-time (without
programming patterns or songs) by tapping on the black
instrument buttons.
Using either a pair of headphones plugged into the RX11
PHONES jack, a stereo sound system fed from the RX11 L
and R OUTPUT jacks, or a sound system incorporating a
mixer fed from the RX11's individual instrument outputs,
turn the RX11 ON and repeatedly tap any of the black
instrument buttons (RIMSHOT, TOM1, TOM2, etc.) while
gradually increasing the level of the linear VOLUME control
until you can hear the instrument at a comfortable listening
level.
A brief output pulse appears at the RX11 outputs when
the power is initially turned on. To prevent this from
possibly damaging your speaker system, make sure the
master volume control of your sound system, or the volume
of the mixer channel to which the RX11 is connected, is
set to minimum before the RX11 is turned ON. Better
yet, turn the RX11 on first, then your sound system.
You can now "play'" all the instrument buttons to become
familiar with their sound. Some of the instrument buttons,
however, have more than one function. The following chart
lists all the instruments available with the instrument buttons:

Selecting
First, enter the instrument select mode by holding down the
green FUNCTION button while pressing the white INST-
CHANGE button. The LCD panel will read "SELECT INST
MODE" indicating that the instrument mode is active. Then
press the black instrument button you wish to switch. Only
the multi-instrument buttons will have any effect in this
mode-SE, BD1, BD2, HH OPEN, HH CLOSED, COWBELL,
RIMSHOT and CLAPS.
If, in response to the "SELECT INST MODE" display, the
SD1 instrument button is pressed, the LCD panel will respond
with the currently selected SD1 voice (refer to above instru-
ment chart). This can be changed to any of the 8 available
voices by using the +1/YES or –1/NO buttons to scroll
forward or backward through the voice list. Once the desired
snare has been selected, exit the instrument mode by pressing
the INST-CHANGE button.
The same method of selection applies to all multi-instrument
buttons: the +1/YES and –1/NO buttons select the instru-
ment, and the INST-CHANGE button exits the instrument
mode.
The instrument mode can be exited immediately (without
making an instrument selection) by pressing the INST-
CHANGE button.
