RHYTHM DESIGNER RD-9 User Manual
Creative Auto Fill
The auto fill function lets you make on the fly changes and gives that extra touch
to your compositions by adding fills at any point in a song. This gives the RD-9 a
musical edge when it comes to bringing songs to life.
USB Control
To bring the RD-9 into the modern world USB has been added for sync and midi
triggering. The RD-9 can be controlled by a DAW if required. Songs and patterns
exchanged, or individual sounds triggered by the DAW sequencer.
Trigger Happy Controls and Connectivity
The RD-9 has 37 knobs and 58 buttons, all laid out in a highly intuitive
format that puts the fun back into your drum beat creation. Input and output
connections include audio input/output, MIDI input, output and thru over USB
and 5 pin MIDI din ports. With 3 trigger outs (1 assignable) the RD-9 lets you
control external synths and hardware sequencers to create songs without a
digital audio workstation (DAW) in sight. Full live performances can be made
using these extra outputs by controlling other units. The RD-9 can also send
and receive clock information with highly accurate timing to sync it to the
outside world.
