Finally a rd8 tutorial that does not discuss whether it sounds like an 808 or not. this tutorial explains to me exactly how to play an rd8 and it was just what I was looking for. Thanks Molten

"you wanna know how to save it? read the manual " hahah so great. I've been going through a few of those hells that you showed, like the filter in head phones, and I probably spent 2 hours, and now I know. thanks man.

Thanks bud, just got one of these, this is really helpful when you just want to have a play but can't be bothered with the manual straight out the box 👍👍

Another simple/easy to understand and great tutorial. Thanks a lot!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for uploading this.

Excellent tutorial, gonna save me loads of time & frustration. Expecting my RD-8 today :-)

Wish you had done this video a week before. I fell for all of that on the first day.

Thanks a lot, a short and straight to the point guide for my new RD-8. It screams sound now !

Perfect. That's what I needed. No nonsense or confusion. Thanks a lot!

Just unboxed mine and went thru exactly this. As Yogi Bera said, “I’m having deja vu all over again.” Brilliant, mate! Thank you!!🙏🏼

Thanks for the headphones fx explanation.

Man this is gold! Better than I’ve would expect!!!!!!!

thank you for this video - very helpful for first-time RD8 users...

Just got one of these, this video is a goldmine, THANKS! 👍👍

Fantastic!!! Thankyou . Ordered one today in a moment of madness !!! This will help !!!

THIS is exactly how a Video quickstart guide should be. Actual situation that would be right after unpacking and turning it on. Helped me a lot :) Cuz i still plan on getting myself one of these drummer clones.

Thanks for this great introduction.

Cheers mate. Perfect quick start guide.

Thank you, a million thank yous! You just save me, at least an hour reading the manual 😊

Just scored one MINT on FB Marketplace locally here in Seattle and gained much from this quick tutorial. Thank you mate!

came for saving the patterns, watched the whole video, finally the patterns instruction 10:32, thank you so much your advice worked! you're a genius!

This is super helpful, thank you!! A morning of tinkering lies ahead, with far less annoyance involved :)

Excellent video. Thanks for the explanation.

Excellent tutorial , really, thank you very much for that , I spare a lot f time ...keep going!

Thank you, this was super useful to get started! Got hold of one.

This was a god send! Thank you 🙏 literally got mine a few hours ago and found your vid, saved no end of frustration 😁

Please don't quote me but I think I heard somewhere the indicators on the levels tell you where the saturation of the analog circuit sets in.

Great video!

Ok Molten , I need you to read this sir. I have watched probably 10-12 videos on this device my RD8 arrives in one week. My man this tutorial is sick man. No other video comes even close to the simplicity you were kindly showing us all. I tip my hat man. Thanks for your kindness and I am literally giddy inside now waiting on this thing. haha. Defo Subbed btw.

Can you please do a video trigging an external module/sampler/rompler with the RD-8 ? I would not to know how tight the rolls and effects are.

Thanks, helped me a ton. 😎👍❤

EXCELLENT TUTORIAL THANK- YOU

watching this video in itself was my quick start to happiness.... but now i cant wait to fuck around on that thang!!! weee!

Excellent video thankyou so much

These were the exact steps I went through....and then I read the manual for a few seconds. Voila!

... helpful review .. but unfortunately I've already been through the pain of my first days with it!! No detailed user manual in the box (curious..?!), but DL'd the official working manual off Music Tribe support page. Smokin' box this - taken 30+ years off my life already 😎🎶🌿💉 Acceeeeedd!

Great video, it's classic drum sounds but I wait for the 909 clone. I hope Behringer will release it soon!

Hi Roger, great stuff! A question - can the behringer rd 08 trigger an SH 101 using the analogue trigger outs? Would like to keep using my 101 and don't know if I should buy something like a 707 instead. Can't afford a proper 808!

thank you!

Is there a part 2 where you create songs and go through the sync options and a part 3 where you open it up and mod the circuit board?

This is the real deal :)

is there a way to set note repeats to triplets?

If I didn't already have a TR8S I'd be waiting on the '909.

Your review makes this machine seem a cruel and unusual punishment for unwitting beat makers.

yo thanks dude

Thanks babes xxx

Nice One...

Thank you! Very helpful. One annoying thing is when you turn it off and turn it on it makes a horrible "pop" sound in the headphones and monitors. Loud as f#$k!

Best RD-8 tutorial in the sense of quick and dirty! Just the function and sound and off you go - have fun.

Hi thanks for the video do these machines require a DAW like ableton, or can i integrate it into my DAWless setup with my Boss RC-505 + instruments?

Excellent guide. Would you know how to record changes in pitch for individual voices?

Great video thanks, I have a question though if you don't mind, the rimshot voice on my unit is really loud but when switched to claves its really quiet, is this by design or a possible faulty unit?? Thanks

so I have my rd 8 connected to more of a home studio setup it goes from the mono out into my Scarlett interface input from there obviously into my computer where I have Ableton opened up with ext. instrument setup etc pp. still getting no sound of the r8 , what I do got out of it was midi signal I already tried to hook up the r8 directly to my speakers without the interface in between, still no sound any one has an idea why?

Thanks, I’ve been strongly considering picking one up off eBay. The ability to control bass pitch via MIDI is a major selling point for me. Quick question, what type of stand are you using for the RD 8?

Hi! Thanks for the great guide, helped me a lot to get started without having to read the manual! Just received my RD8 a few days ago and I sure am having fun with it! :) I discovered that the FX section (wave designer and filter) also bypasses the individual voice outputs! Or am I doing something wrong!? If this is correct, then it's a real shame and limitation as when one wants to send each individual voice to a mixer (to apply different effects to the individual voices for example) you will find that the wave designer and filter doesn't work! I also find it limiting that the accent function applies the accent to every voice that falls on the accented step...i.e, one cannot apply accents to individual voices! This I find very limiting when wanting to create groovy patterns...for example simulating ghost notes on the snare, or creating a swinging high hat pattern etc... but anyway, all in all, I am very happy with this machine, despite these limitations one can get really creative! :)

I probably could have figured this stuff out without watching this but it was good to see a quickstart guide. Waiting on my crave and model d.

I don't really need to know how NOT to do things, I have that down pat.

Please make a video on how to record the sounds of this into gl studio I’ve looked everywhere and I just can’t find anything

so on mine the individual outs for each sound work great -- but so far I get nothing out of the master (mono) out. am i doing something wrong ?

I think most people using one of these have it running through a mixer so if you wanted to use headphones from the mixer you would get the fx path. Having phones going independently through the unit alone would only have a real use in performance with the ability to monitor the signal for blending other instruments

Why does your model have white buttons for the first 4? Mine are black.

Not used mine for a while. Turned it on, lights came on as usual. No sound??? Not through headphones or line out. Help!

Looks like a winner chicken dinner

Can you use headphones with master out instead to hear FX since it has a level control?

I just got this and I’m ready to sell my Novation drum station

Nicely demoed. Bit crank not to have wave designer through headphones, I'd put it through a mixer with headphones in mixer headphones out.

I always wanted a 808 for as long as I can remember but today I am so tired of that sound I am not sure anymore. There are so many ways to create beats today and these drum machines tend to sound old, static and robotic. Can anyone recommend a beat machine that has feeling like a real drummer?

None of my behringer synths or this machine came with a HOW TO manual.... I wonder why????

Geat tutorial. Like the way you did it. Mhhh that does'nt work lets try this! The way most of us would attack it. Is it a Mk 1?

I'm over here in the US still wait.....

Now will you do one on the way to save patterns and songs? It's a nighmare, and yes, I read the manual.

lol...summed it up in one sentence..."go read the manual!"

JUst one question.. you add notes with the tap input button..claps.. make the record..or not record..but you have toe remove al the recorded steps by hand and there is no clear button like in any other drum machine...and you dont even get that this important and time safing standard function is missing? Why? Would this avoid happiness or just that it ever gets fixed? The unplesant secret? Are there more of them?

i mean if you want to just play with headphones and hear the filter you could just put it in the mono output!

Hi, is it possible to just plug a speaker in and be set ?

THEN GO AND READ THE MANUAL gave me a good laugh

I have been looking everywhere... can rd8 reverse sounds?

ground loop action no?

Interesting? What happened to the other comments???

"Go read the manual" 😅

so if the only output that takes the filters is mono then what the fuck

Here's how to save patterns kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iduolaRkpp2rYqc.html

snarkasm ...

You need to warn peolpe, that coming to your channel people will out with empty pockets and with new gears...

That you cannot record the note repeat into the sequencer thats bizarre and stupid! Greetz 👍✌️👌

BEWARE: Latest Firmware adds a "feature". You must press STOP to change songs.

Your introduction makes no sense, hey let's do something wicked and turn all the tuning up like a madmen, the orange indicator on the bass tune is to tell you where the setting is of the original tr-808

nice vid, shame about the product

you forgot all the BS about installing the firmware and driver from some odd site that is not a windows driver

Read the manual. Also, gear won’t make you happy.

whats with the reverb ????????

Meh too hard to use
