RPS- Real Time Phrase Sequencing. i have this on my 909.  i still havnt gotten 
my command station, i am waiting to play with the px, before i buy one.  
basicaly with rps.  you can make a 4 measure loop, of anything you want.  
individual drum parts, or a whole drum loop, can be programmed to one button.  
then you can mute the parts that are already playing, and throw in a new loop.  
it can be a variation of the beat you have playing, or can be totaly different, 
and give your song a new feel.  you can program a new bass line, efx, drums, 
basicaly anything you want to RPS.  on the 909, you have multiple RPS banks all 
of which are user programmable, and can be called upon at any time.  this is an 
awsome feature for playing live, and for auditioning different drum loops in 
the studio.  also on the 505, you had the mega mix option, which let you(while 
your pattern is playing) pick the drum track(or any track) from a different 
pattern, and when your currently playing pattern looped over, the new drum 
track would play.  this made going from song to song very easy, because you 
could slowly mix in the part you wanted.  i am not sure if that is what the X-
mix is on the command stations.  if that is what x-mix is, then that is freakin 
fantastic, and i really cant wait to get my command station.  oh yeah something 
else i thought of, that is kinda important, at least for me.  is not too get 
extremely F-uped before you play live.  if you were in a band and only 
responsable for one insturment, then maybe its okay to f-uped.  but when you 
are in control of every insturment, it a may not be a good idea to drop that 
acid, and start eating those pills!!!

peace
