Over here patiently waiting for my Blue Marvin 2600

 

My name is Elmer J. Fudd, I own a mansion and yacht...really!

 

All these behringer and klark teknik clones will one day be worth as much as the originals are today as this era of cheap but great sounding synths, modules, etc wont last forever and there is no one like Uli who could offer such quality products at such low prices.

 

Ahh understand, yes I let myself be lied to. I've already checked if there are other drum machines that clone the 909: Acidlab Detroit - Roland TR-909 Clone from Germany https://www.acidlab.de but that will probably no longer be produced.

Announced and never made?
Unfortunately there is neither a price indication nor a date for the publication of Detroit. The downloadable manual is also not available and leads to a non-existent page. Sound samples to make comparisons with the competition cannot yet be found on the website. As soon as the company Acilab sends this in, we will update the article.

May 31 by marcus Now the time has come: The Behringer RD-9 is ready! Behringer now shows in a Facebook post that the RD-9 is ready for delivery in the warehouse. Unfortunately, there is still no indication of when the hardware will arrive at the dealers, so that we can finally order. Due to global container problems, the shipment may be delayed a little. As soon as we can find out more, we will update you here! https://www.gearnews.de/behringer-rd-9-drum-machine-sequencer-synthesizer/

Spoiler: Uli Behringer - Wikipedia

Uli Behringer

Uli Behringer (* 1961 in the Baden (Aargau) district) is a Swiss musician, sound engineer and entrepreneur. He is the founder and managing director of the audio technology manufacturer Behringer.

Childhood and adolescence
Behringer's father was a church organist and nuclear physicist, his mother a pianist and interpreter, his uncle a composition professor at the Richard Strauss Conservatory in Munich and his aunt a classical singer and pianist. At the age of four he learned the piano. When he was five years old, his father built his own pipe organ with over 1000 pipes and integrated it into the family home. He bought the organ in 1965 from a church being demolished and was the first to build an electronically controlled pipe organ. At that time all organs were controlled pneumatically or mechanically, and the manual connections were made mechanically.

Behringer was allowed to help his father build this organ and learned a lot in the fields of craftsmanship and electronics. At 16, Behringer built his first synthesizer - the UB1. In 1978 he built his first digital reverberation device.
Training, development and company formation

In 1982 Behringer passed the entrance exam to become a sound engineer at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences, which was combined with piano studies at the Robert Schumann Institute. He partly earned his living playing the piano in hotels.
Behringer wanted to have his own recording studio, but since professional recording technology was very expensive at the time, he began to build his own equipment. He also offered this to his colleagues for comparatively little money. Behringer began converting his apartment into a production facility.

In 1987 Behringer and a friend received a production order from the music house Spiecker & Pulch in Ratingen. The developed devices were marketed under the name Greenfield and provided Behringer with the financial means to start their own company.
According to Behringer, this was the time when he realized his personal mission: to make excellent equipment affordable for musicians so that they can fully exploit their talent. He continues to refer to this as his company philosophy. In 1989 he presented devices from Behringer for the first time at the Frankfurt Music Fair.

The first devices were an exciter (sound enhancement device), a denoiser (noise reduction system) and a compressor. The successful Compressor Composer followed shortly afterwards, which has been sold over 500,000 times to date.

@recycle You beat me to it!! Was just checking Andertons again and it's showing at last.

 

I don't care that Uli is an asshole. I expect that from the CEO of a mega corporation. Jeff Bezos is an even bigger asshole, but does that stop you buying stuff from Amazon?

It's £260. I'm buying one.

Also: for all that Uli is a douchebag, Music Tribe gets a higher score on Glassdoor than Gibson.

 

RD-9 "Contact for more info" & $349 at Sweetwater

 

These 303 and 808, some synth reverse Reborn hit from Behringer, and MOTOR49 / 61 packed with ideas has been discontinued. I wanted to buy it. There is no secondhand.

 

Wow, it's finally happening. At £269 it'd be rude not to, should be good, It's definitely not been rushed has it?

 

Actually, yes it does.

 

I already got a pre-order in. I'll finally bite the bullet on the RD-8 too. Then my midi masterpiece will be finally complete (blatant lie there, sorry...it will never be finished.....)

 

RD-9 update:

Andertons says:

Sweetwater says:

I would rather support a small manufacturer like acidlab.de and get a much better drum machine built in Germany like the Drumatix. They're built like a tank and won't be prone to planned obsolescence through poor build quality, like all Behringer products are. It just depends if you're a Walmart shopper or not. And you know what effect Walmart has on small local businesses. Behringer is no different.
