RD9 is going to surprise / please

That'll do

See you nearer the time

You saucy bastard

I didn't know that. Do you know why?

Let me guess - you can upload your own PCM's into the hh & cymbal sound slots?

Well, that solves the legal issues then

Bring it on

Oooh, that'd do it! I've already got a Nava so not too fussed (although I've already got a Yocto, but still kind of tempted by a Sub £300 808...) but mainly that means that the DMX/LinnDrum etc gets more tangible. Hopefully at a "this is how the original worked and sounded" level, as every guy with an arduino and his dog can make a box that plays back samples.

Theire never was any legal issue.
The Typ of metal which was sampled for the 909 is long known to the public. You can even buy them new.

Yep it's a hoax that has been many times said (even by Behringer) that it has nothing to do with legal issues... Still on regular basis people will say it has to do with the samples, it's like those flatearthers they keep believing in what clearly is not the case...

Maybe there wasnt, I'm not a lawyer.. But custom samples is my only guess on Mr Munro's enigmatic comment.

pfff, don't believe everything jamie says. he's known in impolite circles to take a swig himself after topping up his bike

whatever it takes to reach that high brother

*I never mentioned samples

Haha, dude there are so many other companies who have cloned the TR909, yet people still believe it has to do with copyright and samples. It has nothing to do with copyright, if it was the opposite then Roland would have sued all those companies who have done it before Behringer.

That's my point it has nothing to do with the samples... but in a few days weeks someone else will again say it has to do with the samples... it never stops... on fb it is even worse...

Next week. Vaporwave has it’s third revival. Vaporwave needs it’s drummachine. When will it ever ? Or is it. Vaporware.

oh it's real

When will we finally start getting teasers or an info drop?

Vapor where?

Indeed, ask @ Maurice

VaporOhBehave

Uh, not this Maurice, but I hope you can get confirmation from someone.

<moderator message - I've deleted the conversation about Rob Belcham leaving the Music Tribe corporation, since it's not proven that was in fact because of some problem with this drum machine, and this forum doesn't allow discussions about corporate politics speculations. thanks>

good news

A concept I had not considered and one interesting comment i have seen and copied, i wonder how many have considered this among their tirade of abuse - THERE ARE COUNTRIES and people in the world different to us, their income is different, their access and market is different. Anyway.

"I believe that the only reason why behringer did this is because they have a bigger market on countries (such as Brazil) that dont have the same for Arturia, Roland, etc. As a brazilian i can say that i was only able to have acess to decent synths because of behringer. They have always done that, even with guitar pedals. But now is way more visible"

Exactly like Brazil. Here there's almost no "first world synth". And its ridiculous how first world people try to make this a moral decision for everybody. It's not when you have only one option. But nobody cares, we're just commodities providers.

Yeah I saw that and thought it was very interesting. I never considered their distribution network was more expansive than other manufacturers as always thought it would depend on local distributors deciding to buy stock or not. Perhaps because the products are more affordable and the risk is lower these distributors are more willing to import B products, so it may be more a consequence of B's vision than a direct policy. Pure speculation, not really sure how this works.

However, if your distribution power is much higher than others in your industry, the natural thing to do would be offering distribution services for other companies instead of..... Regardless of that discussion, there is no denying that B are making possible for many people to access musical equipment. I hope they (or the AI computer running it) get their balance right.

i've no idea where you are my friend but i try not to do that **** and i am sure you are more than commodity providers wherever you are , that is exactly why i posted the quote - made me think and maybe it'll help others

well not to get into THAT as we have seen enough but no i disagree, if i/you/they made the effort to get to a certain place why help others to get there with your networks? makes no sense in a business world - maybe in some utopia and once you have gained massive market share you might help out but still, also maybe the competition don't want help getting there and after analysis (which i presume they have completed) they don't think see it as a viable market for them and their P and L, nothing wrong with that

so far as behringer are concerned that is their goal, always has been, people can believe it or not but they do aim for costs where possible that almost anybody can meet, with that brings its own issues we know but they have to be commended for reaching such places that others don't - are behringer like heineken then?

I know, I was not complaining about your comment.

I know you weren't

Oh I didn't mean to help out anyone but to use their position to make money out of their distribution services. Once you have a distribution network in place is usually better decision to charge your competitors for using it than to keep it for yourself (and subsidise the costs on your own). A quick example, B could distribute DSI products through their network without sales for either being affected. I'd even say both would benefit from breaking into new markets and covering a wider spectrum than what just one brand would be able to offer.

I'll have a crate of RD9s then please
