Questions & Answers

Could you tell me if it is the mark II? Can you help me with that?

I believe it is the MKI

For song mode, is the pitch of all sounds tunable and are there any restrictions on pattern placement?

These parameters are pitched only if they have a tune. Having an equal distribution of bass to treble is called tone. If you want to see the face board clearly, you can do so.

Could you tell me the type of power supply it requires?

This item contains a power supply, but it is an 18V DC 1A positive center pin one

Could you tell me if it is the mark II? My life depends on it! ?

That's not the case, I think. It has four black buttons next to the yellow instead of four white buttons on the first version.

I am in tears because the world is so beautiful
5/5

It's all happening. It's all happening. There's a boom. The machine is an absolute dream to use. Among the many samples I have of the 808 is in the original Roland Sound Canvas and in countless knockoffs Sample sets can be obtained off digital media. With the new Wave Designer and Analog Filter, you can really complete this amazing instrument. Turning the knobs to get the perfect sound is such a rewarding experience. TR-32 was used on most tracks that used it because it was easy to use A substantial amount of processing took place outside of the 808 unit during its prime. As a result of the built-in post-processing, there is less need for this. This new internal filter allows you to choose which drum sounds should be processed. It is possible to process the audio externally as well. A dedicated out is provided for each instrument. This cable removes that instrument from the main mix when you plug it in. The Accent? Is that all I mentioned? The Accent track behaves like a drum track, but it does not make any sounds. Instead, it thickens all of the sound effects of the beat by increasing the volume. It is impossible to imagine what could be done with all great instruments. I would like to thank Behringer for the opportunity. Thank you, I really appreciate it.

Featuring the best features of an old classic
5/5

Having always loved TR-type cars, I would like to own one someday The 808 was affordable, but not the one they deserved. It's the best deal out there at the moment and I wouldn't even hesitate to buy it The RD-2000 can be used instead of the internal sequencer if you do not wish to use it A good sound module can be found in 8. By sending MIDI data from my MPC 1000 to the RD-1000, I was able to create a few sequences We were able to use it on Windows 8 successfully. The ability to configure the sounds individually is a big plus, since it gives a great deal of flexibility to do so. For me, the only con was that I had to figure out how to update the firmware on the computer. It took me a little while to figure it out. It seems that Behringer did a great job with their version of the 808 too.

It is an accurate machine that is extremely cost-effective
5/5

Here's what you should get if you want an exact copy of an 808 in your studio with a few minor improvements, a low price and solid construction. It's easy to fast lay a sequence and keep going with this drum machine if you don't specifically need the 808 sound. If you are looking for a greater variety of sounds then you may want to consider another, more capable, low cost drum machine. The polyrhythms feature in the upcoming version of Pandora is a pretty cool one that I'd like to explore more. In terms of automation, neither the MIDI nor sequencing automation was available for any of the knobs. You have the ability to automate the attack, sustain, and cutoff. Hopefully, a firmware update in the future will enable this incredible feature, but that is unlikely if the physical connections cannot be made.

Essentially an 808, but with major improvements in quality of life and a much lower price
5/5

I love this thing, it's easier to work with than any other drum machine I've ever used and it sounds just like the original 808, or at least I can't detect any differences. There is even that weird thing with the clap that the original did where the reverb has to warm up before the sound is heard. If you have never tried this, I definitely recommend you do so.

The Behringer DMX-1000 is a real analogue drum machine
5/5

I'm very happy with it. Behringer has recreated a A key part of the machine's sound is the filter in the effects section, which adds a pleasant sound, as well as a more than necessary feature. You should keep in mind the following details I am aware that I cannot keep my job I have no choice. It is possible to output mono audio for each sound part. I wonder how that number came to be. Mono output is the only output option for this equipment. It does not have a stereo output. Nowadays, everything is small because of the trend in modern equipment. However, this machine is an exception to that rule, as it has large dimensions and buttons and knobs that are large in size. There may not be much space in your studio if you don't have much space. When I used it for the first time, I found that the machine could not record the patches in a way that was understandable, and when I turned the machine off, By recovering the original factory installation from the same machine, you can correct this problem.

The book was a good purchase for me
5/5

It is an analog drum machine that is really fun to use because of the controls and sounds. As I didn't realize there was a mono main output, it is essential to either use an 8 input sound card or use a mixer for it to work as intended. I've only ever had samples and the Roland TR8 I've never had a real TR808 The track starts out groove-y, then hits you.

The best part of my day! The game has the same level of fun as video games
5/5

This is the only instrument I keep creating beats with. I have so much fun using this, and it's so simple. You can see it in action on YouTube, as there are other options with a comparable price.
