Күн бұрынThere are lots of improvements in the new 2.1.2 firmware update, some of which were recommended by us to Behringer! Watch us do a quick tour of them all and get the updated RD-8 Cheat Sheet on our Patreon page. Also, we share some ideas on how to make the RD-8 (and of course the RD-9) even better.
Correction for 3:16: I meant to say "1 Pulse Per Step".

For those of you wondering how to update: You have to install the newest Synthtribe app from Behringer's Website (for example from the RD-8 product page under "Software"). When you connect the RD-8 via USB it will offer the firmware update to you.

One feature that I think every drum machine and groove box should have, TR-8 for instance needs this more than the RD-8, is the ability to trigger patterns from midi. It just seems to me to be the simplest way to integrate with a DAW while still using the drum machine's sequencer.

Here's how to do it: While in your destination bank: COPY, SONG, press TAP/HOLD to switch to „Stored Songs“, select source bank, PATTERN, select source pattern, COPY, select destination pattern (in your current destination bank), COPY to confirm. It's important to note that by default this writes live data, so even if pattern auto save is on, this freshly copied pattern still has to be explicitly saved/modified or else it will be lost as soon as you switch songs or power down the RD-8.

my experience - synthtribe last version ok - try to update from 2.0.6 and nothing.. not with DFU boot button not without, nor in different Mac´s. loads of bugs on my 2.0.6 version in a away that is almost impossible to use it and just can't update. can't even try to use a downgrade version of synthtribe because its not available anymore... I read somewhere that Berhinger ask just to return to the retailer and doesn't provide any way of repairing /update, but I've bought mine on second hand and no receipt was given and the sucker who sold mine didn't return my calls .. obvious he knew the RD was not ok. Ive got I few behringers that are going all for sell and I promise myself that ill do all my efforts to report my case in all kind of forums .. if I can't solve my issue in one month Behringer will gone sell a few less gear next month just because of my posts and that's for sure!!

Indeed the manual is updated with new FW features, but it is quite an extensive read and therefore I specifically mentioned the cheat sheet format. Having a one-pager describing workflows like song chaining, pattern erase/copy, partial copy etc in shorthand in the quickstart guide or in the manual is very valuable for people not using the specific piece of gear daily or just wanting to make a running start based on prior experience with other devices. FW 2.1.2 does improve a lot for the RD-8, happy with it. As owner of an RD-8, RD-6, TD-3, Crave and Deepmind12 I should be getting used to working with modern Behringer gear, but even then I get thrown off balance by some things like song chaining and memorizing other workflows on RD-8 or somewhat hidden configuration like the Arp and sync modes for the Crave sequencer (and that's with 20+ yrs of menu diving on my Roland MC-303 and Virus A...maybe I'm just getting to old for this).

Very good videos! Thank you! One question please: Do you hear any noise kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ar9geMWL3tismGw.html from the outs or noise when you turn on the unit? Thank you!

Hi there, I'll have access to my RD-8 again in about two weeks, I'll test and report back to you then. But that actually seems like normal behaviour to me. I think I hear some residue of the toms/congas in there as well as the clap "reverb". Could be the circuits reacting to the incoming current. A modder like Maffez could certainly tell you more about that. The new Vermona DRM-1 MkIV we reviewed even features a switch-on delay to prevent those noises when switching on the unit.

@@Musical.Maze.1 I just checked and mine also makes these noises when switched on. Seems very normal to me. The individual out of the High Conga even gave me a distinct "ploing" sound.
