Yes, incredibly useful! On some drummies you have to select a 1/32 scale just to get a tiny little roll somewhere and that means half your pattern is basically wasted just for that.
Love your videos! Tell me, did you do the firmware update, and if so do you now do note repeats with the record/trigger buttons, or do you still program them with the settings/repeat combination like in this video?
I think I'm on the latest version but only tried the realtime repeats once so far, just to see how it works. I still prefer placing them via the step keys. Thanks a lot for watching and for the nice comment!
@@LousyFacelift i figured you would say that. It isn't very precise the updated way - you end up adding repeats to multiple steps by accident. What version are you running, do you know? Thanks for the quick reply...
Must admit I don't even know the exact version but yes, my experience with the realtime method was quite similar. And it's a bit strange Behringer left out the odd number hits per step... what about three? 🤔🧐
Hi, me again. Maybe you can help. I'm trying my hardest to program a pattern chain, but sometimes it plays the first pattern 2 times, sometimes 4 times, sometimes 3 times, and it's set to 5 repeats. It does whatever it wants to do. Any idea what i might be doing wrong? The rest of the chain seems to work, it's just temperamental on the first pattern.
Moin, sehr interessant und gut erklärt, ich glaube wenn Du das nochmal in Deutsch machst, freuen sich ne Menge Leute! Gibt dann auch mehr Daumen hoch. Danke für den Beitrag!
Jaha, da sagst Du was... Erstmal danke für den Kommentar! Habe mich auch manchmal schon gefragt, ob Deutsch nicht entspannter wäre aber dann würde ich wahrscheinlich nicht mehr beides machen können, also Deutsch und Englisch und das ist mir dann wahrscheinlich schnell zu viel. Ich bin inhaltlich zur RD-8 offen für Fragen, also hier in den Kommentaren, da bitte immer gerne Deutsch! 🤓👍
Gude, vielen Dank erstmal für die Antwort! :D Ich hab nur bemerkt das deutsche Beiträge eher selten sind, aber wenn sie gut sind, sehr gut besucht werden, gerade von Anfängern, die auch nicht unbedingt so fit sind im englischen. Wer sucht nach Anleitungen, oft Anfänger wie ich. Alles eine Frage der Zielgruppe. Beides wäre too much, klar! Sollten sich Fragen auftun melde ich mich, danke!!! Und weiter so, Daumen hoch!
J. U. Kuberek Ja, das stimmt schon und ich spiele tatsächlich hin und wieder mit dem Gedanken. Auf jeden Fall erstmal danke und ich überleg's mir nochmal...
For using the RD-8 to control external synths I have two questions: 1. Does the note repeat and Step repeat pass onto midi to create rolls and repeats ? 2: Does it pass along the note number as a key hit to a synthesizer ? Thus you could combine note numbers to create chords. Thank you.
YourBestChess Now Wow, I didn't expect that kind of question and I must admit I haven't tried this out so I cannot tell you exactly how to do this but I assume that it is possible. The note numbers for each instrument are defined in the Map page and you have eleven instrument parts that can play simultaneously so it should be possible to control eleven notes of an external device going MIDI out of the RD-8. I'm pretty sure the repeat commands will be ignored though because they are not really note messages, meaning they probably don't have their individual trigger commands.
Yes, the same beat can be programmed with these boxes, too. The only thing that's a bit special with this type of beat is the snare which is always placed on "three" (the third downbeat) which is step 9 in a sixteen step sequence. In a backbeat pattern it's placed on "two" and "four" which means steps five and 13.
You can program patterns 13 - 16 as fill in patterns or drum breaks and trigger them for only one go before automatically switching over to the previous pattern again. So let's say you've programmed pattern three as your main beat that's repeated over and over and pattern 13 as a fill in. While playing back pattern three you can hold down SETTINGS and select pad 13. After reaching the end of pattern three the RD 8 switches over to pattern 13 but instead of playing it back repeatedly it will play it only once and switch over to pattern three again without the need to re-select it first. Not holding down SETTINGS will let you use patterns 13 - 16 just like regular patterns.
Finally a good modern drum sequence with this machine! I’m annoyed with all these clones people are doing the obvious; acid, oldschool house and techno... boring. We know it does that! Thank you.
A very detailed tutorial, really interesting and well explained: how you discovered this method? 00:03 First time in a tutorial that I hear "Behringer" with the correct pronounce
No - for both questions. Everything is quantized like in the TR-808. Changing the step size while writing a pattern also changes the notes that have already been placed.

danke man, habs endlich verstanden.
gutes Video
Das freut mich! Danke für's Anschauen! 😊👍
I like your tutorials a lot, I read the manual from front to back, but to see a tutorial is always a good thing... Keep them coming....
Thanks for the nice feedback, much appreciated! 😊
Brilliant!
Thanks for the info
really useful tutorials man, I love your dedication to this equipment
Very nice comment, thank you so much! 😊
@@LousyFacelift absolutely man, I originally subbed for your EMX1 vids, I have one too they are so much fun
THANK YOU
Very helpful! Thank for tip 👍

@@LousyFacelift i saw one video where this guy proposed a firmware update where you can press the 1 hit + the 2 hit or + the 4 hit for odd repeats.
@@reardondearborn Great idea - hope Behringer are listening to him...

Sorry, I have no idea tbh... Hope you'll figure it out! 🍀
Do you prefer this or the TR8? I am starting to really get back into the TR8 again. Using the 606 with 727 with 808 is really nice.
If your looking only for 808 sounds, the RD 8 sounds better and its sequencer is more flexible.

really helpful tutorials for the rd8!
Any help with the autofill will be appreciated
You can program patterns 13 - 16 as fill in patterns or drum breaks and trigger them for only one go before automatically switching over to the previous pattern again.

00:03 First time in a tutorial that I hear "Behringer" with the correct pronounce
Thank you! I just tried things out to find out how everything works.
Well....he´s obviously german....like Behringer :-)
is it possible to record the note repeat live please ?
No, not possible. It must always be programmed through the repeat page in the menu.
Wow! They should have it that you can record it! Hope they change it to just record it but I do understand. Thanks for your videos!!!!!
I found out that when poly mode is switched on - step-repeat does not work. Is there a work around?
I noticed this, too. I think it's a bug and hope they'll fix it in the next upgrade.
Hello ! Can the rd8 do unquantize recording? Can it also have different step size per track? Cool review
No - for both questions. Everything is quantized like in the TR-808. Changing the step size while writing a pattern also changes the notes that have already been placed.
LousyFacelift thanks for your answer !
I bet abelton would record the repeats
