Wow didn't even know that was still being offered for sale.

Wasn't this also offered inside Sonar back in the day?

Yes, howbeit a scaled down version I believe

Thanks.  I wouldn't mind spending the $5 if it was an easy tool to create drumless tracks.  I'd love to be a less crappy drummer, and I like banging on the e-kit for some light exercise

It was written for Windows 95/XP, and who knows if you'd get any support...but $5

Must actually be a boxed product  - can't get it here because they "don't ship" to this location.

Yup. My only regret at not buying X2 as it was removed again when X3 was released.

The link looks like the old discontinued standalone editor not a plug-in.

AFAIK Roland never sold the plug-in version, it was available only with X2 Producer.

Here are couple plug-ins similar to the X2 Producer version of R-Mix :

I said F it and tried but it just ends up in an empty cart with no error.  It also runs on macOS but not M1 just Intel so that would be a fruitless effort but I have enough Windows machines around to mess around with it if they'd let me buy it

Right now R-MIX is part of the Roland cloud but it claims to be 32-bit only
https://www.roland.com/us/products/rc_r-mix/

And it doesn't look like you can buy it (only subscribe) (unlike some parts of the Roland cloud) they don't show a lifetime key price.

I went with F-Rex as my replacement for the X2 version of R-Mix.  It's not quite as good but pretty close featurewise.

This is the old standalone editor just like the link in the OP.

Now I'm thinking that might be why they dropped it. IIRC you couldn't install X3 on XP.

Don't know if it's automatable but

looks like it does the same thing(s)

Yeah, I did use R-Mix in Sonar X2.  I was glad when Peel was released as it has some similar capabilities - only modern.  Also iZotope RX can do some of the capabilities as well.
