Description
Kawai's first digital drum machine featured 24 sounds, MIDI and pattern sequencing at an affordable price.
Professional Quality PCM Sound Recordings
The R-100's 24 separate drum and percussion sounds have all been recorded in a professional level 12 bit PCM format with a sampling rate of 32 kHz. The sound quality is suitable for any recording situation, even for Compact Disc recording.
Touch response
Touch response is fast becoming a standard feature for synthesizers. The R-100 now brings the same feature to drum machines, providing volume control over a wide dynamic range - from pp to ff. Each of the 24 sound sources has its own touch sensitivity control for full control over the touch response.
Programming ease
The sound sources each have their own LEVEL, SEN- SITIVITY, TUNE, and PAN controls. The parameter settings are displayed in groups of eight voices each as a bar graph on the LCD screen. Pressing the correspond- ing COMMAND SELECT key changes the value for that particular source and parameter.
Programmable TUNE and PAN
The R-100 also allows you to vary the TUNE and PAN settings for each note when recording a pattern.
Variety of line outputs
The R-100 provides eight individual channel outputs as well as stereo or mono outputs.
Detailed editing functions
Kawai's advanced editing features make the R-100 much more powerful than other drum machine. Such features include a choice of real-time or step recording, PUNCH IN/OUT at the bar level, and REPEAT and JUMP functions for song and chain editing.
Memory cartridge slot
The RC-16 cartridge (available separately) stores backup copies of all information currently in the R-100's internal memory.
Full MIDI implementation
The R-100's MIDI implementation not only allows you to do such things as record a pattern from an external keyboard, but also includes such advanced features as Song Position Pointer and system exclusive messages for control of additional R-100's as well as loading and storage of memory to MIDI peripherals.
