Hi, I'm a big fan of the upcoming Behringer RD-9. I owned a TR909 between '98-'09, used and serviced 2 other machines and currently use a TR-8s until my RD-9 arrives. Also I have a background in beta testing well known music software pluggins.

From the video's I've seen so far it appears the authentic mode on the RD-9 doesn't have a properly tuned hihat. You can change that in the enhance mode for sure, but that makes the authentic mode "less authentic" imho, being a nerdy purist wanting a solid "authentic" mode.

Funny enough, I also notice a simular detuning on the TR-8s, which needs to be set a -30 value on the 909 hihat tuning to get to a normal TR909 hihat sound. This makes me think the tuning of the TR-8s is transfered to the RD-9, instead of using the original machine as a reference.

Can anyone at Behringer tell me if this authentic tuning can be fixed with an upcoming firmware upgrade ? I would really like that, being trully authentic for live jamming without having to manually have to tune the hihat in enhance mode which also affects the other instruments.

Thanks in advance for your time :) !

hello, yesterday I bought RD-8, tried to update, but failed, downloaded the program Zadig 2.5, but I accidentally changed the drivers on the RD-8 itself, and now it says "No device detected" in SYNTHTRIBE V2.5.3, after that I tried to install 1.3.5, I succeeded, they advised me to find SYNTHTRIBE V2.0 on the Internet, but I could not find the version under SYNTHTRIBE V2.5.3

Lo and behold, I power it on, all semms to work, connect usb cable to my rd-8. launch latest synthtool on mac, alerted firmware update required, it bricked it AGAIN. Same usb cable and computer I updated my td-3 with. I am so displeased, seems like behringer had my rd-8 for months, to not replace the defective component or just replace the unit. I am NOT happy.

I'm trying to update the firmware on my RD-8 Rhythm Designer but the Synthtribe software only updated it to version 2.0.6. I know that 2.1.2 is the latest version. So I made sure I had the latest version of SynthTribe (2.5.2) and tried again but now I'm constantly getting the "Cloud under Maintenance" error. Does anyone know if the servers are out for maintenance or is this a probelm at my end?

Whats happening with the RD-9? Where is it?

The official release date announcement was made months ago. They said "It's Finally Here"

Release date March/April 2021

it's May 6th today!

Ive held £300 for 3 months waiting for an RD-9. Should I give up? Should I buy a quality used Roland TR8?

No updates. No notifications. No customer respect.

Come on Behringer/Music Tribe stop F'king with our heads. Be transparent. Honesty works & earns.

Hi, I downloaded the last synthtribe 2.5.0 for Win ( I'm on win 8.1). I have many Behringer synths, all are well detected, but no change of settings is possible because there is no "save" button at the bottom ( close to the "restaure factory settings" one, as it seems it should be, when I see screen captures on tutorials). If I change a setting, go back t the main page and choose the synth again, of course no change has been kept... same for every synth. Am I missing something ?

Thanks

Hello,

I would like to make an update on my RD-8. I can't get a connection to the Mac Book via USB. Currently version 2.0.4 is installed. Synthribe V2.5.0 says "No device detected". If I connect the "Model D" there is immediately a connection.
In the Mac is Big Sur as OS. In the system report under USB the RD-8 is not detected.
When I do a factory reset on the RD-8, "done" does not appear after "wait". Is it possible to reset the firmware? The DFU mode is not usable with version 2.0.4. If I try it via the small button next to the USB port, different function keys light up. What could this be?

Many greetings
Cijay
