Common Behringer RD-6 Questions
How do I sync the RD-6 to my DAW via MIDI?
Connect the RD-6's MIDI output to your audio interface's MIDI input, select the RD-6 as a MIDI sync source in your DAW, and set the RD-6's MIDI Sync Select switch to 'MIDI'. Adjust the tempo on either the RD-6 or DAW to synchronize them.
How do I save and load patterns on the RD-6?
The RD-6 does *not* have memory for saving patterns. Patterns are created and played in real-time; you'll need external recording equipment (DAW, recorder, etc.) to save your drum sequences for later use.
How do I create a pattern on the RD-6?
Select an instrument and press the desired step buttons (1-16) on the sequencer to add a trigger. Adjust the Accent level with the Accent knob and toggle between A/B variations by pressing the variation buttons.
My RD-6 is making no sound, what should I check?
First, ensure the power adapter is securely connected and the unit is switched on. Then, verify the volume knob is turned up, and that you've either selected steps in the sequencer, or are triggering it via MIDI and that all cables are plugged in and functioning correctly.
What's the purpose of the 'Filter' controls on the RD-6, and how do I use them?
The RD-6 filter modifies the overall tone; Cutoff adjusts the filter's frequency, while Resonance emphasizes frequencies around the cutoff. Experiment with different combinations to sculpt the sound of the entire drum machine.
