buttons increases or decreases the volume by one, respectively. Holding either
button down will cause the numbers to change continuously and rapidly. The total
level, once set, remains at the selected value even after turning off the RX21.
Press PATTERN PLAY to exit the total level mode.
Total Level (Example: reducing total level from 63 to 50)
To set the individual instrument level, press the LEVEL button twice. The LCD
Instrument Level
will read INST LEVEL to indicate that the individual instrument level mode is now
active. Pressing any black instrument button then permits adjustment of that
instrument’s level via the +1/YES or -1/NO keys. The LCD panel will indicate the
selected instrument followed by the currently set level–e.g. “SNARE LEVEL 15”.
The level is adjustable from 00 to 31. It’s good practice to set the individual in-
strument levels at 15, then adjust each instrument up or down to get your desired
mix. The instruments can be adjusted in any sequence.
Press the PATTERN PLAY button to exit the instrument level mode.
Instrument Level (Example: Increase TOM 1 level from 15 to 22)
Output from the RX21 can be either in STEREO (connect cables to both L and R
Stereo Positioning
outputs), or MONO (connect to L output ONLY). When using the stereo outputs,
instruments are arranged as follows.
Left of center: HH OPEN, HH CLOSED, TOM 1
Center: SD, BD, TOM 2
Right of center: CLAPS, CYM, TOM 3
When you’re playing on the instrument keys, as described in the “GETTING TO
Accents
KNOW THE RX21 INSTRUMENTS” section, holding down the green ACCENT
key while tapping an instrument key will cause that instrument to play louder, just
as if a drum has been hit harder. If you happen to simultaneously tap more than
one instrument key while holding down the ACCENT key, all the instruments played
will sound louder.
