RMX is not MIDI sequence programmable, as for example GURU or iDrum. It is a plug-in and as such has to be opened inside a host application. Then the host is to provide the MID Clock pulse. You don't need to fire up the entire DP as host, there are small, but yet sufficient, hosts like Racks for OSX or Bidule for Windows/Mac. > fast good drums that A) change like a song (or can be > quickly made to do so Yes, definitely! Why not pop over to Spectrasonics web site and watch the info movies? Short note: RMX is very versatile. It can be used as a "Loop Player" (standalone or plug-in) as well as a "Drum Sample Player" (plug-in). As a loop player you may line up loops on eight parallel tracks, and if you do that it will bog down the CPU a lot. This is why some people think that "RMX is not CPU friendly". The truth is that you may be very well set with using only one stereo track out of eight and used this way RMX is quite CPU friendly. I have been able to run it live on a 1.25 MHz PowerBook together with Ableton Live and two stereo tracks of Tape Delay Style looping (feedback, overdub). I must be said though, that RMX has its own, clearly recognizable, sound. All presets impose that typical "Huge, Wide American Drum Sound" that either make you feel omnipotent or go sick ;-) You hear RMX being used on a lot of commercial spots these days, it's so easy to pick when you know that sound - seems like the pro's love presets. But it's also possible to record your own drum performances and load them up as RMX loops. To do that you need ReCycle, or any other application that can save a recording as REX files. No other DRUM solution has as good and user friendly built in random scripting options as RMX. Meaning that with careful setting up only one drum loop may left to play in the background while still sounding "human" with a lot of variations.
