A classic reborn

The RD-8 MKII takes a modern twist on classic drum machine design. It uses the 662 OTA chip, creating that timeless 808 sound. Produce everything from earth-shattering kicks to snappy hats.

Perform live with style

Perform live beats. The RD-8 MKII has a host of features to make live use easy. Step repeat, note repeat, real-time triggering, live over-dubbing. All of this makes it super easy to make songs as you go.

Powerful control

This drum machine is easy to use, but has plenty of in-depth controls for powerful rhythmic shaping. Find a wave designer with individual attack and sustain controls. And a dual-mode 12 dB filter, toggleable between LPF and HPF.
