How do I sync the RD-8 Mk2 to my DAW or other MIDI devices?
Connect the RD-8 Mk2's MIDI In port to your DAW's MIDI Out or another MIDI device's MIDI Out. Configure your DAW to send MIDI clock to the RD-8 Mk2, and set the RD-8 Mk2's Sync Select switch on the rear panel to 'MIDI'.

Press the 'Memory' button, select the desired pattern number (1-144) using the tempo knob, then press 'Write/Next' to save your current pattern to that location. Remember to save a 'Kit' associated with that pattern as well.
How do I change between the sixteen different drum sounds (bass drum, snare, etc.)?
The RD-8 Mk2 has 16 dedicated instrument buttons; simply press the instrument button corresponding to the sound you wish to sequence or edit.
Why is my RD-8 Mk2 not triggering sounds when I press the start/stop button?
Ensure the 'Tempo' knob is not set to '0' and that the 'Sync Select' switch on the rear is set to 'Internal' if you are not using external MIDI sync, and that patterns have been recorded into memory.
What is the purpose of the 'Color' control for each instrument on the RD-8 Mk2?
The 'Color' control allows you to subtly alter the tonal characteristics of each individual drum sound, providing a form of equalization and shaping, a feature inspired by the original TR-808.
