hi.. the RD9 is amazing but in the song mode is somewhat limited.. each song can have 16 patterns and each pattern can have several loop bars... but the song is limited to 16 changes between different patterns.. You can let each pattern slot in a song repeat as often as you want, but there are only 16 slots to fill.. if the song is long and you use several patterns for each part... 16 slots falls short... A firmware update that would allow 64 steps in song mode would be nice.. what do you think?

Hi,

I've just purchased an RD-9 and having a terrible time trying to set it up. The unit is constantly in boot mode, I've downloaded synthtribe (on two different computers) and it recognises the rd-9 but doesn't run anything in the updater and then just crashes saying 'the unit is in DMF mode, update the firmware' which obviously I cannot do as it just crashes (I've tried different USB ports and cables but it continually does the same thing).. i've got the updater to run once but it just loops back to boot.. i'm completely stuck on what to do.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hey! I have an RD-8 (the original version), a 2600 (also original), a Poly D, and a Pro One. I want to trigger one of the three synths with RD’s trigger outs. I have the devices midi connected on different channels so the sync is good. It’s all great in fact ? except the triggering. Each of the synths has uniquenesses, a big thumbs up to Uli! The 2600 needs a higher voltage, I tried the voltage processor but that just changes the base voltage, not the height of the signal. The preamp helps but not enough. The poly d (v trig in) and pro one (gate in) seems like they would work, but neither seem to. Can the RD trigger one of these synths? Thank you!!

Hi there folks!

 

I am opening this discussion as i am facing some issues with my RD8.

 

Wheneveri try to add velocity from Ableton it seems that from a range of 0-127 the difference of the sound is pretty small.

Another issue i am facing is the Note Repeat section, as soon as i start sending some midi from Ableton it just stops working(tried to read accurately the manual but couldn't find any fix). Whenever i get back to analog usage it keeps working fine.

 

Is there anything i am missing?

 

Any help from the community or costumer service would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance :)

Dear community,

 

I've recently bought a Behringer RD-9, but I don't quite understand the difference between Tune, Pitch Depth and Pitch. Well, I do understand the difference as I can hear what they do to the bass drum, but I don't know how they interact with each other.

 

What kind of curves do Tune and Pitch Depth refer to? When I turn the Tune clockwise, it sounds to me as if it does not only increase the amount of pitch envelope, but also the pitch decay, whereas the manual says the P. Depth increases the slide (= pitch decay?), but when the P. Depth is changed it mostly affects the pitch (which the Pitch knob is for, right?).

 

Please explain. Thanks in advance!

 

Best regards

How can i save and start a drum sound for a song. I want to save a certain drumpattern (can stay the same for 3 Minutes) and start it as easily as possible. Is it possible to save it in a way that you just have to push a number (would be nice on stage) and then the pattern you want for a song starts and plays until i stop? Is it possible to have 10 patterns saved, started via pushing just a numbered button?

It seems my RD-8 MkII is not being detected by synthtool app on ipad, app version is 2.5.7,

All my other behringer synth products are detected, except for the RD-8 MkII. Lightning cable

to USB is working fine, no problems detected.

 

Any help would appreciated or even behringer issue an update of the ipad app.
