The Yamaha RX-11 is a programmable digital sample-based drum machine built by Yamaha, in 1984.[2] It was the first drum machine that was made by Yamaha and the first drum machine from the RX series.
Yamaha released their first digital drum machines in 1984. These were the RX11 and RX15. The RX15 was a cut down version of the RX11, sharing some of the same sounds and features but missing out in key areas like individual outs.
The RX-11 holds 29 internal sounds stored in 6 ROMs of 256Kbit each. They include 8 snare drums, 3 bass drums, 2 rimshots, 2 open and 2 closed hi-hats, 4 tom drums, hi-hat pedal, 2 hand claps, 2 cowbells, cymbal ride and crash and shaker[3]
In 2010 the enthusiast from East Europe Bayan released the RX11's emulator AREX 2011.[7] First version was published on October 8 as a VSTi.
