Common Behringer RD-8 Questions
How do I sync the RD-8 to my DAW via MIDI?
Connect the RD-8's MIDI output to your DAW's MIDI input. Then, configure your DAW to send MIDI clock to the RD-8, selecting the RD-8 as the destination device in your DAW's MIDI settings, and set the RD-8 to 'MIDI' sync mode by pressing SHIFT + START/STOP until 'MIDI' is illuminated on the tempo display.
How do I save my drum patterns and kits on the RD-8?
To save a pattern, hold the 'MEMORY' button, then press a number button (1-16) to select a pattern location, then press 'MEMORY' again to confirm. To save a kit, adjust the instrument volumes to your liking, hold SHIFT and tap memory, then use the rotary encoder to select the memory location, and press the encoder to save.
How do I create a song by chaining patterns together on the RD-8?
Enter Song Mode by pressing the SONG button, then use the step buttons to input the desired sequence of patterns. Press START/STOP to begin song playback.
Why does the RD-8 sometimes skip steps or sound glitchy during playback?
This can be caused by MIDI Clock issues or insufficient power. Try ensuring a stable MIDI clock source, using the included power adapter, and avoiding long USB cables for power if applicable.
What is the purpose of the 'Autofill' function on the RD-8?
The Autofill feature automatically inserts fills at the end of each bar or multiple bars to add variation to your patterns. Adjust the Autofill Interval using the rotary encoder while holding the AUTO FILL button.
