Congratulations!
On
your
purchase
of
the
YAMAHA
RMS50
Rhythm
Sound
Module.
You
are
now
the
owner
of
one
of
the
best-sounding,
most
versatile
rhythm
sound
modules
ever
created
for
the
professional
musician.
Features
The
main
attribute
of
the
RM50
is
stunning
sound
quality.
Thanks
to
its
combi-
nation
of
Yamaha’s
exclusive
16-bit
AWM2
tone
generation
technology
with
a
22-bit
D/A
converter,
the
RM50
provides
accurate
audio
reproduction
of
some
of
the
highest-caliber
sampled
waveforms
available.
To
this
foundation
of
high
sound
quality,
the
RMS50
adds
programmable
digi-
tal
filters
and
wave
layering
capability,
plus
an
unprecedentedly
broad
range
of
editable
voice
paramciers.
The
RMSO
thus
gives
you
total
control
over
even
the
most
subtle
nuances
of
the
sounds
it
produces.
You
can
refine
its
voices
as
needed,
or
even
create
completely
new
voices
to
fit
your
specific
musical
requirements.
:
Another
advantage
of
the
RMS0
is
its
huge
capacity
for
sound
variety.
Its
internal
memory
holds
500
preset
voices,
500
partially-editable
variations,
and
128
user
voices,
as
well
as
64
preset
and
64
user
rhythm
kits
that
help
you
put
all
of
these
sounds
to
work.
This
tremendous
internal
sound
capacity
is
augmented
by
full
expandability.
Three
wave
card
slots
let
you
use
the
large
selection
of
waveforms
and
voices
available
on
the
optional
wave
cards
released
for
the
RY30,
SY77
voice,
and
SY55.
A
fourth
slot
accepts
a
data
card
that will
store
an
additional
500
variations,
128
user
voices,
and
64
rhythm
kits.
And
an
internal
memory
board
slot
allows
you
to
add
an
optional
0.5
Mbyte
expansion
memory
board
that
you
can
use
as
a
sample
RAM
area.
With
this
memory,
you
can
copy
waveforms
or
dump
samples
into
the
RM50
and
use
them
to
create
your
own
original
rhythm
voices.
The
RMSO0
also
features
a
click
function
that
you
can
use
as
a
handy
practice
metronome,
plus
a
built-in
audio-to-MIDI
converter
and
six
audio
trigger
inputs
that
let
you
control
the
RMS5O
with
analog
controllers
such
as
drum
pads,
pick-
ups,
or
audio
tape
recorders.
These
features
make
the
RM50
as
useful
to
the
acoustic
drummer
as
it
1s to
the
MIDI
system
programmer.
About
this
manual
This
operation
manual
is
divided
into
two
main
sections.
The
first,
a
Tutorial
@
Section,
is
intended
to
acquaint
you
with
the
main
features
and
operation
proce
-
dures
of
the
RMSO.
It
is
followed
by
a
Reference
Section
that
describes
each
of
the
RM50’s
many
functions
in
full
detail.
Lists
of
internal
voice
names,
wave-
form
names,
and
other
tabular
information
are
provided
in
an
Appendix
following
these
two
sections.
We
recommend
that
you
begin
by
reading
through
the
Tutorial
Section,
and
try
performing
the
procedures
it
describes
with
your
RM50.
Once
you’ve
mastered
the
contents
of
this
section,
you
should
be
familiar
enough
with
the
RMS5S0O
to
start
making
music
with
it.
Once
you
have
begun
using
the
RMSO,
you
may
still
want
to
check
the
man-
ual
now
and
then
for
details
on
a
particular
function
or
parameter.
The
Reference
Section
is
designed
to
give
you
fast
access
to
the
information
you
need.
It
is
divided
into
four
chapters,
each
describing
the
functions
available
in
one
of
the
RM5S0’s
operation
modes.
Since
each
chapter
has
its
own
table
of
contents,
you
should
be
able
to
locate
any
given
function
quickly
and
easily.
(Functions
and
other
references
can
also
be
located
using
the
index
at
the
back
of
the
manual.)
Precautions
Your
RM50
is
a
fine
digital
musical
instrument
containing
delicate
circuitry.
To
ensure
a
long
lifetime
of
reliable
service,
observe
these
precautions
when
installing,
moving,
handling,
and
using
the
RM50.
Power
supply
Electrical
interference
Location
Puandling
Cleaning
Repairs
Connections
»
Backup
battery
Data
backup
Third-party
software
Be
sure
to
power
the
RMS0
using
AC
power
of
the
specified
voltage.
Other
voltages
can
damage
the
unit.
The
RMS50
contains
digital
circuitry
that
may
produce
noise
or
interference
and
noise
if
placed
too
close
to
television
sets,
radios,
or
similar
equipment.
If
such
a
problem
occurs,
move
the
RM50
away
from
the
affected
equipment.
Keep
the
RMSO
away
from
locations
where
it
is
likely
to
be
exposed
to
high
temperatures
or
humidity,
such
as
near
radiators,
stoves,
etc.
Also
avoid
loca-
tions
which
are
subject
to
excessive
dust
or
vibration
which
could
cause
mechanical
damage.
Strong
physical
shocks
can
damage
the
RM50;
handle
it
with
care.
Never
use
solvents
such
as
benzine
or
thinner
to
clean
the
RMS50.
Wipe
it
clean
with
a
soft,
dry
cloth.
Aside
from
the
optional
SYEMBO06
Expansion
Memory
Board,
whose
installation
1s
explained
briefly
on
page
120,
the
RMS50
contains
no
user-
serviceable
parts.
Do
not
open
ithe
case
or
attempt
repairs
or
modifications
yourself.
Refer
all
maintenance
to
qualified
Yamaha
service
personnel.
Opening
the
case
or
tampering
with
the
internal
circuitry
will
void
the
warranty.
Always
turn
the
power
off
before
connecting
or
disconnecting
audio
or
MIDI
cables.
Grip
the
connector,
not
the
cord,
when
plugging
or
unplugging
cables.
MIDI
cables
Be
sure
to
use
high-quality
cables
made
especially
for
MIDI
data
transmis-
sion.
Also
avoid
cables
longer
than
about
15
meters,
as
long
cables
may
pick
up
electrical
noise
that
can
cause
data
errors.
The
RMSO
contains
a
lithium
backup
battery
that
maintains
the
contents
of
the
internal
memory
even
when
the
power
is
turned
off.
This
battery
should
have
a
Jifetime
of
about
five
years
(or
less,
depending
on
the
date
of
purchase).
When
the
battery
fails,
the
contents
of
the
RMS0’s
memory
will
be
lost.
Have
the
battery
replaced
by
qualified
Yamaha
service
personnel.
Do
not
atlempt
to
replace
the
backup
battery
yourself!
We
recommend
that
you
use
the
bulk
transmit
function
to
send
important
data
to
a
MIDI
data
recorder
(such
as
the
Yamaha
MDF2
Data
Filer)
or
other
storage
device
for
safe
long-term
storage.
Yamaha
cannot
be
held
responsible
for
data
loss
caused
by
battery
failure
or
improper
operation
of
the
RM50!
Yamaha
cannot
accept
responsibility
for
software
produced
