behringer is truly a modern day robin hood

Respect for putting the buttons back to the right colours! :)

The kick of RD8(or 808) is definitely the best of all drum machines... so deep.

I just noticed something that made me really happy, you switched the buttons to fit the same order and color scheme as in the TR-808, I read that Roland trademarked that color combination so that's why they Behringer inverts the colors, same thing on the Model D / Minimoog, but on that synth you cannot take off the plastic caps from the switches as they are part of each individual piece.

tempted to just close my eyes n hit buy

Moin,
Roland will und will nicht liefern. Ich kann es nicht verstehen. Dabei ist der Trend zur analogen Klangerzeugung nie wirklich abgeebbt. Die alten Geräte steigen nicht umsonst preislich in die Höhe.

Ich finde Behringer hat den Nagel auf den Kopf getroffen und bringt wichtige ANALOGE Instrumente auf den Markt die bezahlbar sind.

Wer will denn noch eine digitale Kopie eines Klassikers wie die der TR808 haben?

Awesome! Nice demo! I need this drum machine, but I want so much other gear too. :P

[donaldfreeman]

Sounds ferocious! Wicked bottom end !!! Getting one tomorrow

[JimOblon]

Don’t really understand all the hate. Sounds great, and feels really good. Feels better than a jomox xbase 09... probably doesn’t drift as bad

[bedaehrensperger]

Nice one! Hey I am trying to find out, the rd08 can send me a seperate clicktrack (on my earphone or any of the outputs). So that we can play along with live instruments and the click straight from the rd08 on our inears without the audience hearing the click? so can you maybe tell me if that is possible?

[davidseaward]

I had one for a while (amazing).... didn't end up using the filter as much as I thought I would (still good to have), but the analog dynamics processor (transient designer) ... omg that's where it's at . It's really nice to have all the outputs available - but I used the FX bus so often that most of it ended up there! It sorta felt like it wasn't fully designed, like it was a prototype, the UI isn't especially like easy to understand, but it's totally workable. Two of the outputs on mine stopped working so I sent it back, I was poor so I said don't send me another, just return it. But I miss it dearly.

Damm It this thing sounds to good. now I have to buy one.

[elekktrikk_home_video]

Why not make use of the individual outs? I mean, that’s the point of it over the TR-08? reverb on claps only, slight compression and distortion on base drum, subtle delay on hi hats etc...

[cultmecca]

The 808 bump make you put your hands up!

[thepanel]

Hwo did you get the 'overhead camera' look when filming? A jimmy-jib boom-arm?

[louminati]

Just bought one on ebay for £200.00 and a TD3 too. The sad thing is I sold a TB 303 for £100 in 1990.

[sirsilver]

Ah I see you've put the colours on the buttons the right way

[rhineriversurf]

Fun fact: The RD8 sounds better than the Roland 808 :D

[AlekseiDroganov]

Is this a clear sound without any external effects?

[djcovid-]

can you open the filter like a DSI tempest or is it just slap on filter? .... Reason I ask is because you can literally open up the Tempest filter and it sounds like your opening up the analogue circuity... so mouth watering. Thing sounds deep though :)
