Behringer Rhythm Designer RD-8 Mk2 Analog Drum Machine

Arrived well packed. Everything works perfect!!

I got the MK2 version of the RD8. It is everything I expected it to be based on various reviews on social media. I wish it could send all audio outputs through USB but that would require internal conversion of the analog sounds to digital. The individual analog outs for each instrument provide enough flexibility if you have multiple inputs on your audio interface and/or mixer. Sound quality is subjective but in my humble opinion it sounds amazing.

For the price, there's nothing better... It's even more accurate than Roland's own emulation.

808 Snare Drum, 808 Clap! Got an 808 This and an 808 That, Got an 808 Boom and an 808 Bap! Easy purchase if you love the 808!

It's ok. Not worth $350 or the space if you have ableton live already, which I do... at this point, my rd-8 has been downgraded to a fancy metronome that I can use on the fly when I'm practicing. The sounds are pretty basic. The snare isn't good nor is it versatile enough to make it sound good. The bass is good. Still haven't figured out how to record in 64 steps. Pretty much figured out how to use everything else though

I like this drum machine, it is so simple although you can add complexity, very easy to get my head around compared to the learning curve of a MPC. Turning the "decay" knob on the bass drum makes me feel like I'm Rick Rubin. I'm going more by sound and the tactile knobs in it's unique workflow rather than beatmaking on a screen so I'm finding new patterns and having a lot of fun. To note these are just sounds coming out of the drum machine itself. Many of the iconic songs we hear with an 808 drum machine are very processed. Keep that in mind that you may have to add compression, panning, slight tuning or things through outboard gear or plugins on a computer to get a sound you want.

I like; - The powerful sound - Faithful reproduction of the tr808 sound - Overall use and feel I do not like; -Individual outside too close to each othe by no more than 1mm - Two triggers at the same time messes up the amplitude of each other -CLAP is iffy at low volume Otherwise a great purchase

Awesome drum machine. Takes the analog engine of the TR 808 and adds a ton of additional functionality to the original at a fraction of the price. Get it while you can.
