New Behringer RD-909 (Roland TR-909) Update

This one is in via Soviet Space Child. Some pics and an update from Uli Behringer:

"We like to give you an update on our RD-909 development. We have now entered TMS or Tool Made Sample stage which is one stage before pre-production.

We have now built 10 units for final testing to ensure everything is perfect.

What you cannot see on the current artwork is that we have added even more functionality. One of our engineers came up with a brilliant idea to allow the sequencer also modulate the Analog Filter and Wave Designer.

We still need to ask for your patience as it will still take several more months to ship the product. The guys here are very excited and work hard to speed up as much as possible!

We're still targeting US$ 299 retail (depending on import tariffs).

Behringer RD-909 (Roland TR-909 Clone) Sneak Preview

Published on Sep 10, 2018

Update: looks like the RD-808 video was pulled. Moved it below in case it comes back.

"At Knobcon 2018, we talked with Behringer about their upcoming RD-909 drum machine, an updated clone of the classic Roland TR-909.

Behringer was showing their initial 3D-printed model for the RD-909, which is used in the process of validating their design choices, and for testing out the 'feel' of the box. It has circuit boards in it - but they were not demoing it because the circuity and firmware are are still early in development.

Behringer was showing the RD-909 to get feedback on their initial design."

Behringer Introduces the RD-808 on 808 Day and Some Beer

"A member of our development team in Manchester jams on a first revision of the RD-808 to celebrate 808 day.

Raw unprocessed audio captured at 44.1kHz"

I wonder if the final version will be squishy. Note the "see you 9/9" at the end. Looks like an RD-909 TR-909 clone is coming.

So.. Why not the BR-808? That would be beer form The Origin Workshop!
