That would be cool but then she was like āWTF is a 909, and I keep the house. Your bags are in the shed.ā
Although, she did once shut down LTJ Bukemās pressing advances in favor of me. That was both heart warming and sad as I was a big LTJ fan.

Damn quad Pro 1s. I think I might have to venture down that path one day.
Meh. Iāll keep my Rytm.
Though Iām totally cool with Behringer making clones of old stuff, I canāt help but feel that drum machines are the one piece of kit that benefit from modern updates like loading in samples, in-depth sequencers (i.e. p-locking, etc), more onboard FX, all that stuff. I just donāt see the appeal in buying an RD-9 when I can put 909 samples on any modern sequencer and combine those samples with analog machines on the Rytm 
Also the thing is effing GIGANTIC like who has room for that sort of footprint? Itās gotta be twice the size of most modern drum machines.
Then again itās like 1/3 the cost of a Rytm I guess.

Personally, I canāt wait for this. I donāt need it to sound like exactly like a 909, I just need it to sound good. I love the way the RD8 makes me work and think and Iām loving the results. When I say, all Iām going to use for percussion is this one drum machine and its that limited, I get something different than using a modern drum machine.
Its a vibe. Its a sound. I have a DT and a M:S if I want to do something modern with drums.
There are so few details to get lost with in the RD8 and Iām really liking that. I am also a total drum machine wh0re and I donāt feel like I can really have enough of them ever.
The one thing I kinda wish the RD8 had as patch savingā¦BUTā¦I also kinda like just snapping a photo of my settings and saying āscrew itā and changing everything for a new project not knowing if I can get 100% back to where I was.
It kinda forces me to work quicker before new ideas crop in and get some stuff recorded instead of futzing around forever.

and Patrick was already removed from his home office and i liked his videos and narration more then those from his lil brother 
I think itās more like 1/5 the cost of a Rytm.

Any news yet ? Surely they got the clap right by now
Now that the RD-8 has its sync issue fixed, itās only a matter of time. That is, unless Behringer is having supply chain difficulties or some such thing. Iām looking forward to it but also idk if I have the space to warrant another drum machine when I have the Rytm.

Itās going full steam, lawl.
These days I still find Behringer theā¦ personality and choices fairly intolerable but Iām okay with the engineers and product team. Releasing physical products under a pandemic is necessarily going to take longer.

theres more chatter on gearslutz (and i guess facebook) ā¦ i think theres lots of rd8 firmware development which is making into the rd9
theyre still adding features to the rd8
the current page (page 96!)
With the RD-8s misadventures and the 9 taking a bit longer, hopefully that means itās ready to go on day one.
