The Yamaha RS7000 Live Performance Howto 4/7
Additionally, you learn how to integrate the RS7000 with your exisiting equipment to create a
killer-live-performance(tm).
2.2 The RS7000 Operating Modes
You should already know the 3 RS7000 operating modes, which are named “Pattern”,
“Pattern Chain” and “Song”. You cannot switch between them while the box is running, so it
is important that you choose one first.
Usually, live performances for electronic music don't have pauses inbetween, so it's
important to find a way to organize all your stuff so you can really have a performance which
takes 45 minutes, one hour, or even more.
2.2.1 Pattern Mode
The Pattern mode is the most basic mode, depending on the point of view. From the point of
view from a live performer, it is the most powerful mode since the performer has full control
over every aspect. There is nothing which happens automatically during playback which isn't
in the phrases, so there are no automatical tempo, pattern and section changes. Live means
that somebody has to do something in order to create sound changes.
2.2.2 Pattern Chain Mode
The pattern chain mode has some automatism in it, you can program section and style
changes. That's one step away from performing live. Imagine the following situation:
You notice that your audience likes a specific sound a lot, and you want to use that sound at
a later point of your performance. Since the pattern chain is fixed, you can't step back without
interrupting the sound.
Additionally, the pattern chain mode is limited to 999 measures, which is way too short for
many live performances (at 140 BPM, this makes around 20-30 Minutes of playback).
2.2.3 Song Mode
The song mode is the “let's-automate-it-all” mode. If you use this mode, I won't call you a live
performancer anymore. Of course, this mode is very nice to create songs which you maybe
want to release later, but this mode is nonsense for a live performance. Let's quickly forget it
:)
2.2.4 Pattern vs. Pattern Chain Mode
Using a pattern chain, you are fixed to a specific arrangement of your live performace. This is
bad, as already said above – and we want to have full control, don't we?
To change phrases, you have to interact with the RS7000. Press the pattern button twice,
you'll see the Patch view. In this view, you can switch your phrases during performance.
Select the Track of which you want to change the phrase, and turn the knob 2 to select the
phrase (see “Information Management” for how to organize your phrases). Since abrupt
changes are bad in most electronic styles, it is very nice since you can smoothly advance
from one song to the next, just by exchanging the 16 tracks (or less) step-by-step. You can
access the Patch view from every other view just by pressing the Pattern button twice.
Remember: If you are stuck in any view, just press exit until you see the main overview
again. From there, just press “Pattern” once and you are in the patch view.
2.2.5 Pattern vs. Song Mode
The same which applied to the pattern chain mode applies to the song mode – and
additionally.
