3. Подешавање
3.1 Распакивање и почетни преглед
Carefully unpack your Behringer RD-9 unit. Ensure all components listed in the 'What's in the Box' section are present and undamaged. If any items are missing or damaged, contact your retailer immediately.
3.2 Шта је у кутији
- Behringer RD-9 Analog Drum Machine
- Адаптер за напајање (18В ДЦ)
- Замка
- Бас бубањ
3.3 Прикључак за напајање
Connect the included 18V DC power adapter to the 'POWER' input on the rear panel of the RD-9. Plug the adapter into a suitable power outlet. The unit will power on automatically.
3.4 Аудио везе
The RD-9 offers versatile audio output options:
- Главни излаз: Connect a standard 1/4-inch mono jack cable from the 'MAIN' output to your mixer or audio interface for a summed mono signal.
- Излаз за слушалице: Use a full-size stereo headphone jack for monitoring. This output has its own volume control. Note that the headphone output is completely dry and does not include effects. Individual outputs will still be audible on headphones even if routed separately.
- Individual Outputs: Ten full-size 1/4-inch mono outputs are provided, one for each instrument (Ride, Crash, Hi Hat, Clap, Rim Shot, Hi Tom, Mid Tom, Low Tom, Snare, Bass). Plugging into an individual output removes that instrument from the main mix output. These individual outputs are not routed through the filter or wave designer and are not affected by the main volume knob.

3.5 MIDI and Sync Connections
The RD-9 supports various synchronization options:
- MIDI улаз/излаз/кроз: Connect to other MIDI devices for external control or to control other instruments.
- УСБ: A USB B-type connector is provided for MIDI communication only, not for audio.
- Trigger Outs: Three full-size 1/4-inch trigger outputs are available for triggering external gear. Trigger out 1 and 2 are permanently tied to the Rim Shot and Hand Clap respectively. Trigger out 3 is freely assignable to any of the analog instruments.
- Sync In/Out: Mini-jack sync connections allow for synchronization with compatible analog gear.

4.2 Sound Generation and Shaping
The RD-9 is a hybrid drum machine, utilizing samples for crash, ride, and hi-hats, while other sounds are generated by analog circuitry. It offers two modes for sound behavior:
- Authentic Mode: Each drum sound behaves exactly like the original 909.
- Enhanced Mode: Provides three extra controls for deeper sound shaping: Bass Drum Pitch Depth, Bass Drum Pitch, and Hi-Hat Tune. These controls can be completely deactivated by switching to Authentic Mode if you prefer the original sound.
The unit also features an Аналог Филтер и а Ваве Десигнер effect section:
- Analog Filter: Can be toggled between low-pass and high-pass. Use the Cutoff and Resonance controls to perform filter sweeps or emphasize specific frequencies.
- Wave Designer: A transient shaper that allows manipulation of the attack and sustain portions of incoming sounds.
You can send any of the sounds into the effects bus using the 'SEND' button. The selected instruments are collectively processed by the Wave Designer and then the filter.

4.3 Pattern Creation and Editing
The RD-9 features 16 pattern banks (misnamed as 'songs' on the unit), with 16 patterns each, totaling 256 patterns. Each pattern can have a length of up to 64 steps.
- Live Recording: The current instrument can be live recorded by tapping the trigger button.
- Step Repeat: Loops 1, 2, 4, or 8 steps.
- Напомена Поновите: Allows a step to be split into sub-steps (2, 4, or 8 sub-steps supported). This can be done from the normal sequencer view by holding any step and pressing the trigger button.
- Flam: Adds a flam option per step, creating a sound as if the drum was hit with two sticks almost simultaneously.
- Probability Steps: You can set a probability value (in percent) for selected steps to be triggered, adding variation to your patterns.
- Polymeter Mode: Allows each instrument to have a different pattern length, creating complex rhythmic interactions.
- Micro-timing: All steps are quantized to the grid; there is no micro-timing adjustment.
- аутоматизација: Instrument sound parameters cannot be automated directly, but the filter cutoff can be automated. This can be done by live recording knob movements or manually entering values per step.
4.4 Карактеристике перформанси
- Mute/Solo: Instruments can be muted or soloed during playback.
- Pattern Chaining (Song Mode): Song mode acts as a playlist for your patterns, allowing you to chain up to 16 patterns from the current bank. You can also set how often each pattern should repeat (up to 255 times).
- Auto-Fill: A useful feature that allows you to piggyback a shorter pattern onto the end of your current pattern, providing a fill or variation.
- Seamless Pattern Copy: Create a copy of the current pattern and switch to it without interrupting playback.
- Pattern Roll: Extends the length of the pattern and clones its existing content into the newly added steps, allowing for easy pattern expansion.
- Темпо: The BPM range is from 20 to 240. The tempo setting is saved with each pattern, but can also be saved per song or globally. You can tap the tempo by tapping 'TAP HOLD' three times.

- MIDI Issues: Confirm MIDI cables are correctly connected (MIDI Out to MIDI In, etc.). Check MIDI settings on both the RD-9 and your external device. Ensure the correct sync option is selected on the RD-9.
- Unexpected Sound Behavior: Check if the unit is in Authentic or Enhanced mode. Review filter and wave designer settings.
