The RD-78 reinterprets the iconic sound aesthetic of the legendary late-70s drum machine, preserving its analog circuitry and organic character. It joins the other models in the "RD" range by offering a more retro and textured groove, ideal for those seeking the delicately granular pulse of the first programmable arrangers.
Accessible and efficient, the RD-78 suits both beginners and experienced producers. It excels in synthwave, new wave, pop, ambient, lo-fi, and film scoring, finding its place both in the studio and on stage. Its iconic presets speed up inspiration, while step programming allows refining grooves and variations in real time.
At the heart of the RD-78, analog circuits reproduce 15 iconic timbres, enriched with mixing parameters and a global accentuation control to shape dynamics. The 16-step sequencer combines immediate editing and performance: you can switch on the fly between 32 patterns, add Fill-In, Rolling, and Break, then chain patterns to build structures up to 250 bars. On the integration side, the 10 independent analog outputs simplify separate processing in a console or DAW, while MIDI/USB connectivity and Clock sync ensure precise tempo locking within a hybrid setup. The "hands-on" ergonomics-16 programming buttons with LED indicators, 18 controls, and 29 switches-promote fluid creation without menus.
