Behringer RD-8

Analogue Drum Machine (2019)

Behringer RD8

Overview 

Overview Behringer attempts to clone the iconic Roland Tr-808 for a very affordable price, keeping same aspects but a total redesign from original, unique, circuit with matched transistor. The aspect is quite similar with 16 steps, but a numeric display and reverse step colour for copyright reason, but you can switch them to Tr808 gradiant. Also some new features, a bit normal after 40 years of technology!

Synthesis Smd technology for 16 analog sounds recreation, adding also a dual filter mode - 12 dB filter button  with LPF / HPF modes with classic cutoff and resonance parameters for live tweaking (movement can be recorded). Also the new "Wave Designer" has individual attack and sustain controls that can be applied to individual voices which keeps orginal japanese machine sound parameters
