Thank you for taking the time to record and post this. I appreciate your clear speaking and the pace of your illustration. I found this informative and helpful.
I got this mainly because it has all the trigger outputs, I still prefer the Erika Synths black sequencer as there is quite a bit more depth to it than this, but unless I get a second it is limited by the outputs, especially if using it both as a note and trigger sequencer. The behringer here is like the beer and pretzel sequencer and Erika Synths for complexity when needed, but it too at its basic level is easy to get started on.
For me and my hybrid setup this is probably the perfect solution, I use an MPC for sample drums and to cover some extra voices and other modular stuff im missing, but ive never enjoyed programming drums on it. my mpc also still does too much This means i can program on the RS9 and record midi into the MPC for future sessions and should make it easy enough to swap between sampled and analog drums, just need to finish soldering my drum modules
Just a heads up - you don't NEED a drum sound module with accent input. You can simply route the accent trigger to an entirely new drum voice. That's how I do a budget drum setup on my modular rack: I have the main drums on XODES kick, snare and HH. Then I route the accent triggers to a SoundForce LinnDrum because it's only $99 and has a bunch of drum sounds on one module.
thanks for the review. i should have mine arriving this week. my last try at the eurorack drumming idea. lets see how it copes with the LXR and how fast it is to make creative things. i hope there is a way to keep tempo when changing patterns. Having the tempo locked with the pattern is a bit lame.
I never liked the look (those bright pads) of the beatstep. Definitely think the RS-9 should come with a small, flat case and a powersupply. Will try to make sth. like this myself. (If i like and keep it, mine should arrive soon). I wish you had tested the Midi Functionality too, i want to use it in a combination via midi for a Drumkit Multisample on the bitbox (or Blackbox) and and some Drum modules or percussive patches. Hope this works, will try when mine arrives.
Exactly my idea. a crater for the kick, lxr for others and a bitbox for sliced loops... should be cool. hope the sync and stuff wont be an issue as i doubt behringer will keep this product updates regular. Hope i am wrong. I might end up using bitbox via eurorack triggers instead of midi anyway for visibility purposes regarding mutes and alike. hope also that CV can be sent to change the slices on sliced loops on the bitbox, which is great for breaks and jungle. the idea that @vincefinemmusic said above is pretty dope too, to use accented triggers to trig other modules, the issue is that the sound itself will also get triggered, but i´ll give it a go!
@@eurotiumIts only a triggersequencer, no cvs. But the slicer mode of the blackbox has several random functions to play a different slice with every new trig. Mine arrived today, triggering a drumset multisample on the blackbox works fine, had to change the midi note mapping on the RS9, took two minutes.
Hey there, yes I can totally understand that a lot of people are interested in the midi functionality. Actually more than I thought. I mainly work with modular synths and CV signals, that is also what my little channel is about, so I tested the RS-9 in this context. I hope the RS-9 works out for you how you want it. Have a great day/night!
without wading thru whole 27min video... is there any reason i need one of these when i have the BeatStepPro? does it do anything extra apart from 2more triggers?
Hi there, I don't think so, unless you want a module instead of an external device. There is nothing really extra, in fact the Beatstep Pro can do more, as it offers two sequencers and a trigger sequencer. The RS-9 is a trigger sequencer only.
Hi there, this is what the manual says. I use it in a modular context so I am not too familiar with romplers. Hope that helps at least a bit. The RS-9 is designed to be a controller for other modules. Primarily this is by connecting the trigger outputs and accent outputs to any module that accepts a +5 V trigger and programming the pattern steps to produce triggers where required. In addition the ten ‘voices’ can be mapped as MIDI notes using the MAP function, which allows the RS-9 to control any MIDI synthesizer using DIN or USB.
@@SundayAfternoonModulari‘m having trouble mapping out the midi channels. all triggers just trigger the one misi put. hnnel i hve selected but there is no way ro play different channels from different triggers
I think the accents are weird (level control and only one global accent track ?!). I was expecting equal triggers on the ACC and TRIG outputs and the ability to set accent patterns per track. If you compare the manuals of RD-9 and RD-8, the sequencer is more like RD-8. Otherwise the RS-9 is fun.
I'm too stupid to operate the module (the manual is a joke) and I returned it after one day, so Thomann should soon have a return available for purchase.
Still on my wishlist 🎉

Thank you! Makes me happy to read such a comment
Got one preordered, for the price it was hard to resist, looking forward to trying it out.

You could probably use the accent outs to trigger even more modules
Personnaly i would like more CV output, at least 2! Very often you will find drums modules with CV in
the RS-9 has CV..? ..I thought it only had Triggers/Gates..?
@@normdurkin6425 I know it's quite a long video. 🙂 At 7:30 I talk about the one CV output the RS-9 has.
Can you send notes for bass for example from triggers 6-10?
Hey there, the RS-9 is a trigger sequencer, so it cannot send notes. It only sends out a trigger signal, which has no pitch information.
Does the RS-9 send accents through 5 pin MIDI OUT? Or is it just midi notes and sync? Thanks
Can be used as MIDI in clock and CV clock out?
Hi there, yes, according to the manual you can send a clock signal via midi or usb, and then use the sync out.
@SundayAfternoonModular thank u! I think i Will go for beatstep pro instead

Can this control a rompler if you don't want to go the modular route? Looking to sequence multiple voices off one device via midi

I think global accent is a 909 thing but yup should be on separate tracks for a eurorack sequencer.
