RD-8 MKII User Manual

Please note that individual voices can have Poly lengths that are longer than the

nominal pattern length, for extra rhythmic variation.
POLY mode defaults to be stored per pattern.

11.8 RAND (Random)

This function allows randomly played sounds to trigger on a pre-selected group

of voices on any pre-programmed step that you wish to have the ability to hear

random voices triggering. This can be used to create indiscriminate variations

into patterns, for example, random tom fills.
To add to a pattern:
1.  Press SETTINGS.
2.  Press RAND (STEP BUTTON 8).
3.  Pick the voices you want with the SELECT buttons.
4.  Use the step keys (1-64 via length navigation) to apply the random action on

the steps you require.

5. Press SETTINGS twice to exit.

NOTE:

Random step settings are stored on a per pattern basis.

11.9 PROB (Probability)

The

PROB

setting allows you to adjust the probability of predefined steps playing

as programmed. This Probability function is great for adding a human feel to

patterns by settings how likely a programmed note will play. This simulates how

a drummer could miss playing a drum.
The range can be set from 0% to 100%. As a guide 0% means a programmed

voice won’t trigger, 50% allows voices to be played around half of the time,

while 100% will trigger the voice as programmed.
By default, all steps in a pattern are not enabled to be controlled by the

PROB setting.
1.  Press SETTINGS.
2.  Press PROB (STEP BUTTON 9).
3.  Select the voice you wish to give probability to.
4.  Use the step keys and length navigation arrows to enable probability on the

steps (up to 64 steps) you require.

5. Adjust the probability range with the DATA control to taste (0% causes

the voice to not trigger where as 100% signifies the voice will trigger

as programmed).

6. Press SETTINGS twice to exit.
Probability step settings are stored per pattern, but the amount (0%-100%)

is controlled globally.
PROB programmed steps are shown in white and adding PROB on a step turns it red.

11.10 FLAM

Flam is the simulated effect of a drummer hitting a note with 2 sticks.

The amount of flam dictates the length of time between the next hit after the

first. Range from 0-24 adjusts the width of the flam and is set globally.
By default, all steps in a pattern are not enabled to be controlled by the

FLAM setting. Flam can be turned on and off per step as described below:
1.  Press SETTINGS.
2.  Press FLAM (STEP BUTTON 10).
3.  Select the voice you wish to add flam on.

4. Use the step keys (1-64 via length navigation arrows) to enable flam on the

steps you require.

5. Adjust the flam range with the DATA control to taste

(0 = No Flam. 24 = Longest flam length).

6. Press SETTINGS twice to exit.
The global setting can also be changed by selecting FLAM with the DATA MODE

button and using the DATA knob to adjust the flam length between hits.
FLAM programmed steps are shown in white and adding FLAM on a step

turns it red.

11.11 RPT (Note repeat)

Note repeat lets you program a step to repeat either 1,2,4 or 8 times. This can

be used to add extra ratchet style rolls to voices on a pre-defined step (1-64)

by completing the following:
1.  Press SETTINGS.
2.  Press RPT (step key 11).
3.  Select the voice to which you wish to add repeats.
4.  Select the step key (1-64 via length navigation arrows) to enable repeat on

that step. Each step in a pattern can have a different repeat value.

5.  Select the number of repeats (1,2,4 or 8).
6.  Turn on the repeat with the NOTE REPEAT button.
7.  Select the next step to add more repeats or press SETTINGS twice to exit.
Note repeats can recorded 'live into a pattern when in step record mode. Select

the repeat amount 1,2,4 or 8 with Note Repeat on. Use the trigger while in

Step Record to record the Note Repeat information. To remove the note repeat,

remove the programmed voice step.
Note repeat can also be programmed:

• •

Step 1: enable note repeat and select a repeat number in STEP mode.

• •

Step 2: select any voice you want.

• •

Step 3: hold STEP number button then press TRIGGER.

Note repeat can be added with or without step record on with this method.

11.12 Step Size Preference

The step size of a rhythm pattern refers to the note duration of a step.

When composing rhythms, the basic unit of duration (in time) is a 'bar'. The step

sizes you can choose on your RD-8 MKII are 1/8, 1/8T, 1/16. 1/16T, and 1/32.
If you choose the step size 1/16, the duration of a single step is 1/16th of a bar.

This means that a 16 step pattern has a duration of exactly one bar.
The durations are as follows:

• •

1/8

= 1/8

bar.

• •

1/8T

= 1/12

bar

• •

1/16

= 1//16
