I’ve got the little brother RX7 it has 100 sounds only difference is no individual outputs, which is no problem if you set the levels before hand, and it has a pan delay effect instead of reverse.
I remember it being used on Adeva’s “warning” as well as loads of other songs

I'm considering rx5 or ry30, or ry10, rx120... which do you think is best? rx5 and ry30 are expensive ... is it better to start with a cheap ry10 or rx120 ? What do you think ? 🤔🤔🤔

Holy crap these things have gone up in value. I should stop using mine as a coaster for other drum machines.
