Common Behringer RD-9 Analog Drum Machine Questions
How do I sync the RD-9 to my DAW using MIDI?
Connect a MIDI cable from your DAW's MIDI output to the RD-9's MIDI input. Then, configure your DAW to send MIDI clock and start/stop messages to the RD-9, and set the RD-9's MIDI Sync mode to 'MIDI' in the Global settings.
How do I save a drum pattern on the RD-9?
Press the 'Memory' button, select the desired bank (1-4) and pattern number (1-16) using the respective buttons, then hold 'Memory' and press 'Write' to save your current pattern. Remember to save kits separately if you've edited sounds!
The RD-9's sounds seem a little off. How can I tune and adjust them?
Use the individual sound parameter knobs (Tune, Decay, etc.) located for each voice section on the RD-9's panel to adjust the sound to your liking. Remember to save the kit after tweaking!
My RD-9 isn't triggering reliably when connected to my external sequencer. What could be wrong?
Ensure the MIDI channel of your external sequencer matches the RD-9's MIDI receive channel (default is channel 10). Also, check the gate length settings in both the sequencer and the RD-9 global settings, adjusting for compatibility.
What is the purpose of the 'Filter' section on the RD-9, and how do I use it?
The RD-9 Filter section (VCF) allows you to shape the overall sound of your drum patterns with cutoff and resonance controls, adding emphasis or creating dynamic sweeps. Use the 'Mode' switch to select different filter types and the 'Env. Amt' knob to control how much the filter responds to the internal envelope follower, bringing the filter to life with the beat.
