Drum sequencer from Behringer

The RS-9 from Behringer is an extract from the RD-9 sequencer and is based on the form factor of the Erica Synths drum sequencer. The ten tracks of the RS-9 can be configured as desired; however, it is always advisable to maintain a certain routine when assigning channels: Kick drum on channel 1, snare on channel 2, etc. There is space for 16 songs in the internal memory, which can also be regarded as banks for the patterns; 16 songs x 16 patterns add up to a total of 256 patterns. The patterns can be up to 64 steps long; odd steps can also be programmed individually for each track. The groove parameters Shuffle and Flam, which are particularly indispensable for Chicago Sound and House , have also been integrated. The trigger function, which repeats a preselectable range (1, 2, 4, 8 steps) of sequencer steps in step repeat mode until the button is released, is absolutely performance-oriented. Alternatively, there is Note Repeat, which triggers the selected instrument in four speed levels; perfect for spontaneously adding variety to the pattern! Of course, track mute and solo have also been included!

Anyone who has already had contact with the RD-9 will immediately get to grips with the RS-9. The RS-9 can be synchronised to MIDI, USB and analogue Clock . On the output side, the sequencer can synchronise other MIDI equipment and even sequence MIDI drummers thanks to the internal clock generator. When stopped, the module functions as a MIDI to trigger interface, so that it can dynamically play the connected drum modules from a DAW or master sequencer.
