Description
The RD-9 analog drum machine from Behringer fuses vintage character with contemporary capabilities. Drawing inspiration from a classic TR-909, this beat-making powerhouse packs 11 drum voices and a formidable 64-step sequencer to shape intricate rhythms. With the RD-9, you can tap into the coveted sound of analog drums while taking advantage of modern features for inspired music production and performance.
Create With Analog Warmth
At the heart of the RD-9 lies a sound engine that recreates the highly desirable tonality of analog drum machines. The 11 drum voices, from booming kicks to crisp hi-hats, exude the depth and nuance that only analog can provide. Tune each drum, tweak its attack and decay and develop sounds that shift in intensity as your song progresses. With individual outputs, you can process the drums externally or record them as separate tracks. This is beat-making with the glorious warmth and vibe that analog aficionados crave.
Step Into Intricate Rhythms
The RD-9's 64-step sequencer empowers your creativity with advanced pattern programming. Store up to 64 different patterns and 16 complete songs to construct full sets. Adjust the continuously variable swing to evoke a human groove. Utilize step repeat, note repeat and real-time triggering for dynamic live performance. The sequencer excels in the studio too - enable recording in pattern mode to build arrangements on the fly. With robust editing capabilities, you can finalize sequenced parts with precision.
Sculpt Sounds With Wave Designer and Filter
Tailor the RD-9's analog drum tones even further with the integrated Wave Designer and filter. The Wave Designer lets you shape the attack and sustain of individual voices. Get new dimensions of sound by applying its effect to specific drums. Additionally, the dual-mode filter can be toggled between low-pass and high-pass modes. Experiment with the cutoff frequency and resonance while recording sweeps directly into the sequencer.
Perform and Produce With Modern Connectivity
Despite its vintage vibe, the RD-9 integrates well into the modern studio and stage. The robust encoder lets you control parameters globally or have them switch when your pattern or song changes. Set up separate chains for customizing on the fly. Sync timing via MIDI or USB connectivity. Trigger individual sounds from your DAW. For live use, the RD-9 provides versatile sequencing so you can perform entire sets with just the unit alone. Bring inspired beat-making into today's productions with the RD-9.
