A while ago I was thrift shopping and I found the Yamaha RX-11 for 50$ CAD. Compared to the eBay price I thought it was a good deal! I cleaned and repaired the drum pads because some of them were so dusty that they didn't work properly anymore. I also took the time to clean the rest of the unit so it hopefully should be usable for another 30 years.
I recently decided to sample it using my Focusrite Scarlett soundcard. I recorded each drum sound as loud as possible without affecting their peaks and kept the noise floor as low as I could. For recording, I used FL Studio 20 Edison.
The result is what I think is the cleanest sample pack of the Yamaha RX-11 available online. I've made a small demo showcasing its sounds:

These sounds are good for 80s influenced genres of music like synthwave, retrowave and even vaporwave. They have a very distinct mid-80s tone. You can get the pack here:

I hope you'll enjoy the pack!

Quite impressive! At the time, it was really high tech and quite inexpensive compared to the Linn drum.

Good to know that it isn't working well on your mobile. I got a bit of hate mail because some people can't get the pack for free via Gumroad. I'll do some tests on my Android tablet to see if it works.thecontrolcentre wrote: ↑Fri Jan 25, 2019 7:48 pm Thanks

Edit: did some tests and it worked like a charm. Not sure what is wrong. Might have to contact Gumroad about this.

It's not working on my laptop either (win 8.1, IE) no matter what I put in the "fair price" box I get taken back to the same page, rather than the download. IE then puts up a warning saying the page is not displaying correctly. Must be a Gumroad issue ...SampleScience wrote: ↑Fri Jan 25, 2019 11:50 pmGood to know that it isn't working well on your mobile.
