About Behringer Rhythm Designer RD-6

RD-6-AM
The Rhythm Designer RD6-AM provides all the tools you need to become a master beat-maker, including: 8 drum sound and a 16-step sequencer - for a quick and easy-to-use drum machine that'll shake the house! Whether you're new to drum programming or a seasoned pro looking to enhance your setup, the RD-6-AM has everything you need to step up to the big leagues.

Masterpiece Rejuvenated
Great care has been taken in designing the RD-6-AM to achieve new possibilities in beat creation by reviving a timeless design from one of the most classic drum machines of yesteryear. By taking a fresh and modern approach on a classic drum machine, the RD-6-AM gives you the power to harness the phenomenal sound of the venerable TR-606 and tap into some new features as well. Punchy bass drums through sizzling hi-hats and even the authentic and renowned BR-110 clap sound can be manipulated to take your rhythm performance to the next level. This is an analog beat-making monster!

Complete Control
Built to enhance the way you perform, the RD-6-AM boasts a 16-step drum sequencer which allows for real-time switching between 32 separate patterns. Start building song structures on-the-fly and even edit them to your liking. Mix any of the 8 drum sounds by adjusting their dedicated level knobs. The RD-6-AM also comes with a distortion based on the venerable DS-1. Add spice and a bit of edge to your tone by flipping the Distortion switch on and adjusting the amount and tone of the distortion. 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.

USB Control
To bring the RD-6-AM into the modern age, USB connectivity has been added for sync and MIDI triggering. This enables the RD-6-AM to be controlled by your DAW if desired, allowing songs and patterns to be swapped or individual sounds to be triggered.

The Numbers
The RD-6-AM has 11 knobs and 26 buttons, all laid out in a highly-intuitive format that puts the fun back into your beat creation. Input and output connections include: Open or Closed Hi-Hat, Clap, Cymbal, Low and Hi Tom, Snare and Bass Drum Voice Outs; Start/Stop for connecting a foot pedal; MIDI In, Out and Thru over USB for connecting the RD-6-AM to a DAW and 5 pin MIDI ports.
