RD-9

The Behringer RD-9 Rhythm Designer is a powerful and authentic recreation of the legendary Roland TR-909, a cornerstone of techno, house, and electronic music. The original 909 was famed for its unique hybrid sound engine, combining analog kick, snare, and toms with digital, sample-based hi-hats and cymbals. The RD-9 meticulously captures this sonic identity while introducing a host of modern features that transform it into a formidable production and performance instrument for the contemporary artist. It delivers the same earth-shaking punch and sizzling cymbals that have driven dancefloors for decades, but with enhanced control and flexibility.

Built for both studio production and live performance, the RD-9 is equipped with a powerful 64-step sequencer that supports poly-meter, step-repeat, note-repeat, and real-time triggering. This allows for the creation of incredibly complex and evolving rhythmic patterns. A standout feature is the integrated Wave Designer and dual-mode analog filter (LPF/HPF). The Wave Designer acts as a transient shaper, allowing you to sculpt the attack and sustain of individual or grouped sounds, while the filter provides fluid sweeps and sonic sculpting. With 11 drum sounds, each with its own set of tuning, level, and decay controls, plus extensive connectivity including 10 individual outputs, USB, and full MIDI I/O, the RD-9 is a complete rhythm-crafting workstation designed to be the heart of your electronic music setup.
