Description
The Behringer RD-6 Rhythm Designer is all you need to become a master beat-maker! Packed into this bite size drum machine are eight massive drum sounds and a 64-step sequencer that’ll shake walls given the chance. Whether you’re new to sequencing or a seasoned pro looking to enhance your setup, the RD-6 has everything you need to produce high quality percussion with a tint of vintage character.
Masterpiece Rejuvenated
There's no hiding that the RD-6 is based on the iconic TR-606 drum machine in both sound and style departments – all the while adding a few modern touches. By taking a fresh approach to the classic drum machine, the RD-6 gives you the power to harness the phenomenal sound of the TR-606 and tap into some new features as well.
Punchy bass drums through to sizzling hi-hats and even the renowned BR-110 clap are all available here, and can be tweaked exactly how you like. This is a true analogue beast!
Complete Control
Built to enhance the way you perform, the RD-6 boasts a 16-step sequencer which allows for real-time switching between 32 separate patterns. Start building song structures on-the-fly and edit them to your desire. Mix any of the 8 drum sounds by adjusting their dedicated settings.
The RD-6 also comes with a distortion based on the legendary DS-1 stompbox. Add some heat to your tone by flipping the distortion switch on and adjusting the gain and tone. Each pattern you create can also be chained into a whole song up to 256 bars, which adds up to eight and a half minutes of beats! Perfect for those spicy jams where you just can’t stop.
