Behringer RD-8 Analog Drum Machine With MS-1 + Waza Craft Pedals

In this video, we explore Behringer's new RD-8 Rhythm Designer and MS-1 monosynth: two modern instruments inspired by one of the most classic pairings in electronic dance music history.
The Behringer RD-8 provides the sound and workflow of one of the most iconic drum machines of all time-with additional features and a pricetag that makes it perfect for modern workflows. It updates this classic machine with an analog filter, wave designer, and advanced sequencer with performable beat repeat functions and more. In this video we also experiment processing the RD-8's kick drum direct output through the Boss Waza Craft Metal Zone MT-2W, adding a bit of edge and forcefulness to its already thunderous low end.
The MS-1 is a modern interpretation of yet another classic analog instrument: a monophonic synthesizer with integrated sequencer and a huge, rubbery sound. Here, we process the MS-1 through a Boss DM-2W Waza Craft Delay pedal for some extra space.

Probably the best RD8 demo to date. They should hire you !

[@DJPenguino51]

Right on. If this very video doesn't push one over the edge to buy the RD-8, nothing will. Whoever programmed the drum machine has some mad skills! The first track reminds me of classic Detroit Techno; the 2nd one some old-school gangsta rap. 👍👍

[@brendanryan6363]

[@MarshalArnold]

RD8 sounds great, but the person who is demonstrating it is a frickin Jedi! Amazing

[@fincorrigan7139]

I can only imagine the guys who gave the thumbs down have low attention spans and didn’t wait for the sequences to build. They would never have survived in the 70’s when it took 12 minutes to get to the “good bit”!!

[@in_10z]

I bought one a few weeks ago and love it. Keep a distortion pedal close by though (as PC has done here) for lots more fun. The little LP/HP filter is pretty basic but instant fun. The sequencer is quite nice. This one is staying up front for a long time. USB sync and MIDI are both nice and simple to set up as well.

[@strongocho]

I never thought I would say this... but behringer > roland. Times have changed. This is probably half the price of Roland's vst nostalgia box and honestly better in every way.

[@The_Pivotal_Trader]

So much better! And their $300 Minimoog is on par with Moog's $3000 Minimoog.

[@allehooop]

strongocho that’s almost true. But it lacks the timing groove, i think...

[@strongocho]

@@anthonybrett I will buy an analog behringer 909 clone for sure. It will probably be like $150.

I swear upon all my gear that this sounds a lot like my korg er-1 at times in this demo. Enjoyed it .

[@jacobesmagobes8664]

The 808 is dope but the dude running it is out of this world!!!! Totally needs his own channel!

[@khalijimoore8256]

Out of all of the demos I've watched of the RD-8, this one is the best as far as patterns and beat making. These are the best beats I've heard, coming from an RD-8. I like how he brought the MS-1 in at the end as well. Excellent job!!!

[@funkb0x]

I can remember watching this video years ago & I went on a a Behringer binge. Top notch gear!!!

Ain’t nothing like the 808 sound.. that cowbell gets me everytime

Coleby Arnett yeah thats what I meant, thanks :)

[@justinbeck4197]

I worked with a guy at a movie theater for the summer and he told the 808 cowbell wasn't cool.

[@synthshoot1026]

I wonder if the metal zone was chosen for it's sound or for it's perfectly matching color. lol

[@TallicaMan1986]

Its gotta be the sound, man.

[@andykandolf1948]

It's the look. Worst guitar pedal ever :D

[@proteusswarm7291]

Trick question. Metal zone is the perfect match for all situations, musically or visually.

[@redcomn]

I knew some of my friend who slap a metalzone after a mono synth just bc.

[@_adamlock]

I have one of these. Thanks for making me realise how shit I am at playing it by comparison 😀

[@justinurra2718]

Sameeeee

[@reedtrygd4277]

To my ears the 909 sounds more like real drums but I prefer the 808 sound.

[@andrewj.682]

@@reedtrygd4277 you are indeed correct. The 808 used ciruits to make every sound, but the 909 used the new sampling technology, so all those sounds are samples, hence why they sound realer

[@superultramega77]

@@andrewj.682 its just the cymbals that are sampled in the 909 if i recall correct! However, roland WAS going for a more realistic sound with the 909...

Dayyyyum, that Bass line goes off! But I don't think I'll ever get used to the 808 cowbell, chimes or whatever they're called. I personally like the drums on circuit tracks.

[@maxmatson1578]

A good pedal to try on the drum machine would be one of Behringer's own the "SF-300 Super Fuzz" I just got mine a few days ago and even on smaller drum machines like the "pocket operators" it sounds Fucking phenomenal!🎹🎧💫💀😵👌😎👍 best settings I found were on fuzz mode #2 have the treble and bass turned all the way up,👍 the gain all the way down, and the level around say 4:0-clock.

[@andystandys]

Man, thanks for this tip! I have an RD-8 MKII and a SF-300 Super Fuzz and just tried on the kick drum with your settings. It sounds awesome.

[@josephwright5921]

Ooooh. I just love the 3 tasty filter sweeps at 4:07! 😜 🍔🥓🍟

[@Music-yt7xo]

People may throw shade on Behringer but the fact that they recreate these classics that are no longer in production and do it for the modern world is AMAZING. What I don't like is when they copy a current piece of gear. I would be ok if they tried to come out with an improved version because competition is good for the industry!

[@Thunder-sf4qy]

2024! This shhh iz Funky man. Bouts ta get me one. Workin 😎🔥🔥🔥
