Behringer RD-9 Drum Machine - Secondhand

Full Description

Classic sounds, modern performance

Bringing an icon up to date. The Behringer RD-9 Drum Machine is still packed to the brim with the drum sounds that have defined the EDM scene since '83. Each of the 11 original drum sounds are included, so you can capture the iconic sounds of a 909-style drum machine. It also features a built-in wave designer which is perfect for sound design. Also included is a highly flexible 'Dual Mode Filter' which can be switched between LPF and HPF settings to suit your needs.

In-depth, expanded controls

Whilst retaining the same design and features as the original, the RD-9 expands the functionality of the drum machine, with all-new features set to take your music creation to the next level. The powerful sequencer now includes step repeat, note repeat, live step-overdubbing and real-time triggering. This unlocks the ability to create songs on the fly by enabling recording in pattern mode. This allows you to create songs via various patterns.

Each of the 11 drum sounds now comes with its own tuning, level, attack and decay controls so you can sculpt and shape the sound, resulting in a more varied sound palette. You can tweak these whilst you record or during live sets to create variation and progression. Add a little spice to your live sets and songs using the autofill feature, perfect for creating build-ups and transitions.

User-friendly layout

Feature-packed, without sacrificing ease of use. The RD-9 features a simple layout that's easy to navigate. Even with the integration of one of the most powerful step sequencers ever created, which can store up to 64 patterns and 16 songs with a continuously variable swing allowing you to mimic a real drummer, you'll never get lost. This simplicity is a real asset as it makes it quick and easy to create beats and get them sounding spot on. This accessibility extends to connectivity too. USB connectivity allows for sync and MIDI triggering which enables the RD-9 to be controlled by your DAW if desired. This gives you the power to swap songs and patterns or trigger individual sounds from your computer.
