Rd-9 , does it sound 909, people happy with it , anyone doing something original with it other than endless 4/4 stompy techno ?
Mineâs arriving tomorrow! Planning to make some DNB with it.
I suppose they have a bigger bank balance too so if it goes wrong their not wiped out in one blow.
yeah itâs about what Iâd expect for the price.
wouldâve been interesting if theyâd done a rack or sequencer-less version. probably a lot of people will just use it as a sound module and sequence via midi. and I have gotten the sense before that a lot of their hold up with these machines has been getting the sequencer right. but I guess they also donât make a sequencer, so that kinda kills the âuse our stuffâ vibeâŚ
Good idea. That certainly might be possible. They spun off a Eurorack VCO from their 2600. ( thread posting ) They have been looking for things to put in Eurorack, and parts like you describe are ready made. Almost to the edge of innovation.
A 909 smaller form factor desktop or rack version, no sequencer and even cheaper would sell amazingly I think. Probably would be an instabuy for me.
Tiptop (and others) did it in eurorack, so Uli probably will also 
The RD-9 sequencer definitely goes beyond a 909 - you can record/edit the bus filter parameters per step and save that per pattern. No midi note-out, sadly ⌠as far as I can tell.
They were suggesting a euro rack version last year.
@Jukka: Behringer floats the idea of a Eurorack RD-9 - gearnews.com
Thanks for that micabeza. Yeah thatâs vaguely familiar now. ( I even posted about it. ) The RS-9. They project $149 !
And an RS-8 and RS-6 maybe.
The BCR32 ( Zaquencer ) someday ?soon?. ( thread )
Plus three Eurorack ones available now :
ADDED : They are also playing with the idea of an ARP 1601 replica. I posted about that in the Behringer Gear In Progress thread.
Given the price of the unit I donât know what I expected, but:
Itâs ok for the price. Not great.
Sweaty palms
This made me laugh out loud.
I was gonna comment but the post flaggers lurk on here 
It seems like you didnât read up on the buttons or listen to a 909/ the demos
Or consider itâs same as or similar to rd8 size wise , and there are details of the dimensions around the internet. I think itâs similar / smaller than a 909.
It seems to be a good match of an og 909 sound wise with a few extras
Flip it on eBay / here and move on .
But thatâs only the sequencer. Similar to the Erica Synths Drum Sequencer.
its just a concept nowâŚnot even a sequencer 
I have an rd8. I knew how big it was. This unit is underwhelming when compared to the rd8, sound-wise. So for me, it is too big for what it is. Itâs just my opinion after playing with it for an hour or two.
which is just a coincidence, Iâm sure.
I think the sequencer was mentioned in regards to me saying they didnât have a dedicated sequencer available.
I think the analog sounds are pretty close. the sampled sounds, less so. this might explain why you like the RD8 better, since those sounds are all analog and the circuits are likely direct copies (or copies of other copies). unless you just donât like the 909 sounds in general (which I would assume isnât the case, since you bought the thing)âŚ?
TRUTH!
Its a 909 so im not sure what you expected.
I see guys like Kenny Larkin using both the RD9 and OG 909 together in the studio and praising the sound of the Rd9, so Im not sure why you would be so underwhelmed by it.
