A Faithful Recreation of a Classic '80s Drum Machine
The black Behringer RD-6-BK revives the timeless design of the venerable Roland TR-606 drum machine and adds modern touches to help you achieve new possibilities in beat creation. This portable gem features a 16-step sequencer triggering 8 true-analog drum sounds, including a punchy bass drum, funky toms, sizzling hi-hats, and even the authentic and renowned DR-110 clap sound. Full MIDI support via 5-pin DIN and USB, along with a wide variety of sync options ensures the RD-6-BK plays well with others.
