In the world of drum machines, the 808 is most definitely going to be on top of everyone’s list. The distinctive 808 sound including the iconic “clap” has been the backbone of many RnB, Hip-Hop and Techno tracks. But every icon must have a progenitor, right? Enter the CR-78. The grandaddy to all drum machines, had 34 built in rhythm patterns like rock, swing, waltz and shuffle plus individual drum sounds like kick, snare, cowbell, hi-hat and more. The CR-78 was one of the first to use a microprocessor and the first programmable drum machine that allowed users to save their own drum patterns. Artists like Phil Collins, Gary Numan and Peter Gabriel were just some of those who saw the potential in the CR-78 and made countless hits with its help.
The RD-78 recaptures the iconic analogue tones of the original CR-78 drum machine, bringing the magic of the 70s and 80s back to life. With its true analogue circuitry, you’ll experience that familiar warmth and depth in your rhythms, now with added features to help you craft more complex beats.
34 iconic rhythm patterns, including fills, rolls, and breaks, give you a diverse library of grooves at your fingertips. From disco, funk, and rock to new wave and synth-pop, the RD-78 has the rhythms to transport you back in time and propel your music forward.
Layer up to four instruments for each step, or “step-write” in your own unique rhythms with ease. With 250 bars of chaining, you can build complex arrangements that evolve and unfold over time, making every performance a unique journey into the rhythm of your imagination.
With MIDI and USB connectivity, the RD-78 integrates seamlessly into your modern setup, syncing with your other gear with ease. Additionally, real analogue clock and DIN sync options allow you to sync the RD-78 with classic hardware, bridging the gap between your vintage and contemporary instruments.
