amazing product, if you are new to music and synths basically a great device
Semplice da usare e da collegare, non servano daw per usarla
Componentes de bastante calidad y sonido muy bueno. Y adems trae alguna mejora respecto al original
First, thanks to Cosmo Music for the excellent service and free toque!
The Behringer RD-6 is exactly what one wants in a reissued vintage drum machine. As someone who owns several original Roland machines including the 707, DR-55 and DR-110, I can tell you that they nailed the sound and functionality. Even the form factor is spot-on. I’m exceptionally happy with my purchase.
Very excited to follow it up with a RD-9! (Hope Santa is listening)
The Behringer RD-6 is a clone of the Roland TR-606 with the following additions: Individual line outputs of each instrument, a vintage hand clap sound, and a distortion setting. Everything in common with the original is every bit as good as the original. Most of my studio is Behringer, and I haven’t had a single issue with their equipment!
Fidle l’originale, cette boite rythme est simple d’utilisation. Elle complte ma collection d’instruments analogique et numrique.
Once I figure it all out I’ll have tons of fun there’s so many YouTube videos on how it works Behringer rocks for the price for sure the way to go
After viewing YouTube, I found it helpful and easier to use.
Great representation of Roland’s TR 606 by Behringer. Sounds just like I remember my old 606 did, but with a lovely clap sound added to the palette. Not too fussed about the distortion effect but it might come in useful. Would have been nice if it had the ability to run on batteries, but that’s just being picky. For just over a hundred British quidpounds it’s a no brainier. Buy the one today, bask in its 606yness, then buy the TD-3, coz everyone needs a 303.
Luvly.
If you remember the original TR 606, you will rember that it actually was NOT that good of a drum machine for what they go for. Cheap plastic, non tweakable drum sounds and a price that was way too much for what you got. But, when prices crashed in the early 90’s, Acid House musicians made these the hot machine to get.
The new Behringer RD-6 actually improves on the original, with a distortion section and semi-individual outputs. The cheap plastic construction is still there, but would it be a 606 without it?
The sound is nearly identical to the original after A/B’ing the two. I say “nearly”, because for some reason they swiped the clap from a Boss rhythm machine and placed it on the exact same channel as the hi hat. This means that not only is the gain shared between the two, but so is the output. This leads to some minor irritation trying to get a live jam mix balanced, but if that is the worst sin this machine makes, I can live with that.
The distortion section is nice and crunchy and the pattern creation is as simple as it gets. I had this out of the box and patched making music in no more than 5 minutes. The yellow colour is cute, too. A far more fun change from the easily bashed up silver of the original.
Is it a clone? Yes. But, Roland overcharges for nostalgia anyways, and at the end of the day, Behringer actually improved on both the 303 and 606.
If you’re looking for a great replication of the famous TR-606, this is the unit to have. It’s made even better when syncing it up with the TD-3. No, you can’t edit the drum sounds. It does what it does. But it sounds great. It has full USB and MIDI capabilities, so you can sync it with other synths, use it with a DAW, and you can play the drums manually through MIDI. It is limited, but it’s cheap. And that makes it worth it. If you want to do more, then save your pennies and spend the extra two to three hundred bucks for those features you n other units. But you can’t knock this, because the price is cheap. And for that you get a genuine analogue drum machine. Even if it’s just used as a toy to mess around with, it’s still worth picking one up.
Warm Snappy and Analog like the original 606. Maybe even a bit better!
The bass drum is really quite but overall, sounds exactly like the original.
