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.
Luvly.
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.
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.
