Behringer RD8 DIY Mods

This one is in via Matthias

"In the spirit of pre-youtuber times, here's some Modding Guide for the Behringer RD8 drum machine. It's in beta but contains already a great number of mods, such as CV and Trigger inputs.

I hope that soldering enthusiasts might find it useful. Sound mods should work with the 808 and Yocto as well, and and one mod will help you with an annoying RD8-MS101 bug.

The guide can be downloaded as PDF here: RD8 Modding Guide Beta"

Improvised electro clip using a Behringer RD-8, Behringer Deep Mind 12 and Casio CZ-1

1:07 to hear the drums soloed from the rest of the mix.

2. Behringer RD-8: Classic Patterns

Three classic 808 patterns redone using the RD-8. Reverb, EQ and compression used.

3. Behringer RD-8: Classic Patterns 2

Four more classic TR-808 patterns recreated on the Behringer RD-8. After a few more days with the machine I've gotten a better understanding of how it works, and I can get it so close to an original machine that Gear Slutz forums have started splitting hairs.

Egypt, Egypt uses the cowbell trigger out for the "click" sound.
Hanging on a string has a full effects and mastering chain.
Voodoo Ray and Planet Rock are captured raw from the RD-8.

Synth Jams by Jay Hosking

Published on Jul 26, 2019 Jay Hosking

Spotted the first video in the playlist above on discchord.com. The Playlist contains 21 videos. You can use the player controls to skip around. Descriptions for each are below. All videos feature various gear so you should be able to get an idea of some of the capabilities of each featured. You can check out Jay Hosking's music at https://jayhosking.bandcamp.com/.

Note, more will likely get added over time. The following playlist is as of this post:

1. Jam w/ Vermona PERfourMER MkII, Elektron Analog Rytm MkII, OTO Bam, Styrmon Big Sky, Fugue Machine

A live, semi-improvised performance, all on hardware, and inspired by some pretty tough news that has me sentimental.

I loved the Elektron Analog Four MkII so much that I picked up the Analog Rytm MkII. My feelings on the Rytm are mixed. On the one hand, it's missing that spontaneity and spark of units like the Arturia DrumBrute Impact and Teenage Engineering OP-Z, with no readymade performance effects, roller bar, or global randomization, and a slower workflow. On the other hand, I really like its analogue sound engines, any unused tracks can be converted into impressive analogue mono synths, it does beautiful things to samples, and like all Elektron boxes it integrates the effects into the sequencer really nicely.

As for the Vermona PERfourMER MkII, I'd been pining over it for ages, and it was fun to finally tinker with it. The Perfourmer definitely excels in the mid- and high- range, and I love how the independent voices making really interesting voices for chords.

Vermona PERfourMER MkII + OTO Bam — Three synths (left chord note, right chord note, melody)
Vermona PERfourMER MkII + Strymon Big Sky — Bass chord note synth
Elektron Analog Rytm MkII — Drums, samples, sample melody, punchy bass
Fugue Machine (iOS) — Sequencing
IK Multimedia iRig Pro Duo — MIDI out from iOS

Written and performed within a 24-hour period, and uploaded as is, with only a little sidechain compression on the Perfourmer (to emphasize the sound that the Rytm was already making), and compression/limiting on the master.

"The talented Moot Booxlé joins us for more synth exploration, this time featuring our iteration of the iconic ARP Odyssey synthesizer. With all the mojo of the original, we managed to take things a step further with added MIDI/CV enhancements, 3 voltage controlled filters, built in KLARK TEKNIK effects, a robust sequencer and even dimmable LED fader lights."

Synth Jams I is a compilation of tracks recorded live using analog and digital synthesizers and drum machines. The songs were created from improvisations with different instruments and were captured practically the moment after the creation. The performances have been posted on YouTube over the last 3 years.

With influences from the songs and the timbres of artists like Vangelis, Jean-Michel Jarre, Erik Norlander and Kebu, besides several works of electronic / instrumental music, the tracks of the album do not have a common style, but they share a main element: the sounds created with synthesizers.

In this process, the idea was to interact with the instruments, create and manipulate sounds in real time. It was also part of the plan to leave the computer and music production software out of this process. Therefore, anything that could not be played simultaneously live was performed by a MIDI sequencer.

Gear used on Synth Jams I:

►Analog Synths: Arp Odyssey, Moog Sub 37, Dave Smith Instruments Mopho Keyboard & TETRA, Behringer Deepmind 12.
►Digital Synths: Korg Radias, Roland JP8080, Roland SH-32, Access Vírus Indigo, Yamaha DX7II, Nord Stage 2EX.
►Drum Machines & Grooveboxes: Roland MC-808, Roland TR-626, MFB 522, Korg Electribe ER-1, Novation Circuit.

All tracks were recorded with iPhone using the Guitar Jack 2 Audio Interface and the AudioShare app. I connected the mixer outputs to an audio interface connected to the iPhone and made the recordings."
