Hi All,

I have the problem that I have installed the firmware for a Behringer RD-8 MKII (v2.1.2) on a RD-8 MKI. Now I wanted to install the firmware for the MKI (v1.3.5.), but the operation cannot be performed...a driver error message appears. However, the requested driver is installed correctly!!? Can anyone help?

Hello, I appear to have lost the windows USB driver for my RD 8.

It is not recognized in FL Studio 12 as a midi device. I can't perform any software upgrade either. It can't find a device.

Please someone to help me??

Thanks

I just updated the firmware to 2.1.2; so far, so good.  

I had a previous issue where mute function did nothing and solo provided mute functions and was hoping 2.1.2 would fix this. It didn't, so I reset under settings holding HOLD and button 16. Unit said "WAIT" then rebooted. I power cycled only to discover that neither PROBABILITY or FLAM work any more.

Has anyone experienced this issue? Is there a fix?

Thanks so much in advance...loving this machine but it is a bit buggy.

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.
