General

As any outboard producer knows, if you're not careful, one vintage drum machine quickly spawns a collection of four or five. That's if you can find them, of course. Answering the call of music makers - both advanced and beginners - the world over, Behringer have been busy building solid, money-saving reissues of vintage classics for years already. And now, Building on the solid legacy of the RD-8, Behringer push perfection with the RD-8 MK2: with improved sounds and an upgraded sequencer. The Rhythm Designer is back, and it's better than ever.

The Behringer RD-8 MKII Rhythm Designer

The sound of this slab of beat spitting magic will be familiar - and can be weaved together to back up everything from ballads to complex jazz-tronica. The parameters of each sound can be tweaked with ease using a smooth and accurate set of control pots, while a built-in wave-designer and dual-mode filter, and a near one-to-one replication of an old 662 OTA-chip provide more than enough sonic sculpting tools to play with. Stack sounds to build a custom groove using the refined, MKII version of the x0x-style pattern sequencer that comes with extra step-repeat and note-repeat function to further streamline the process. More than enough reason to add one to the ever-growing collection.

Wrote the following about Behringer RD-8 MK2 Rhythm Designer Analogue Drum Machine
Ik heb lang getwijfeld of ik wel een tr808 clone van Behringer wilde kopen. Er zijn zoveel interessante meer recente drummachines. Maar nu de mk2 uitkwam ben ik toch overstaf gegaan. Heb geen spijt, want hij klinkt echt goed, komt goed door de mix en het zijn uiteraard klassieke klanken. De interface is niet altijd even handig (het langer maken van het aantal steps zit echt niet zo heel logisch in elkaar), maar daar staat dan tegenover dat de wave designer echt veel nuttiger is dan verwacht. Randomization en probability maken het mogelijk om afwisselende beats te maken (al is het allemaal net ietsje minder flexibel dan de Elektron machines).
