RHYTHM DESIGNER RD-8 User Manual

Pattern Data Files

Each of the 16 patterns associated with a song has its own Pattern Data file. 

When a song is loaded from Storage Memory, these 16 Pattern Data files 

are loaded in addition to the Song Data file. These 16 patterns are called the 

Live Patterns. Changes made to the Live Pattern Data files do not persist. The 

files must be saved back to the Storage Memory before another song and its 

associated patterns are loaded.

Pattern Data

All of the data in a pattern are contained in its Pattern Data file. The data is 

shown below:

Parameter Name

Description

Values

Pattern Data Version

From time to time, new versions of the RD-8 

firmware will be released. This firmware will 

contain both bug fixes and new features. 

Additional parameters may be added to 

the Pattern Data file to support those new 

features. The Pattern Data file is therefore 

versioned to guarantee compatibility between 

firmware releases.

Product Variant

The RD-8 is part of a series of Behringer 

products that sequence songs. This parameter 

is used to distinguish between RD-8 Pattern 

Data files and other pattern data files.
