The Behringer RD-78 isn't a straight copy of the original CR-78. Instead, it appears to essentially take the sequencing interface from their RD-8 and pair it with the drum voices of the CR-78.… Read More Behringer RD-78 Drum Machine Offers Updated Take On Roland CR-78View the full article -
The RD-78 – Behringer‘s hotly-anticipated emulation of Roland’s classic CR-78 drum machine – has finally arrived. The brand first teased a CR-78 emulation all the way back in 2022, when it shared images of a PCB (printed circuit board) to its Facebook page. It shared the images alongside a clue of “in the air tonight”, alluding to Phil Collins’ use of the machine on his famed 1981 hit of the same name. Behringer later confirmed that the RD-78 was “up and running” in January 2024, with another post on social media...

After a typically long gestation period, it seems Behringer’s RD-78 has finally made it into production! The Behringer RD-78 has finally broken cover and will be available to order in the next day or so. Finally delivering on a product that was first teased a few years ago, the RD-78 sets out to emulate the classic Roland CR-78, the world’s first programmable drum machine. Such was the impact of the CR-78, it transcended the typical organ accompaniment wooden box and allowed users to program their own beats via an extra add-on device. Its sounds were still somewhat mired in the old analogue style, but there were hints of what was to come... The post The Behringer RD-78 Breaks Cover appeared first on gearnews.com.

The new Roland V-Stage about to be unveiled at NAMM 2025 sounds like a live performer’s dream: With four independent sections based on Roland’s latest and greatest piano, organ, and synth engines, could the V-Stage 76 and V-Stage 88 be the manufacturer’s most powerful keyboards for gigging performers ever? Roland helped pioneer the modern stage keyboard with the V-Combo VR series, a range of gig-friendly keyboards built around the Virtual Tone Wheel organ emulation. However, the last V-Combo VR model came out in 2017 if I’m not mistaken, so it was high time for something new. At NAMM 2025, Roland unveils the all-new V-Stage, a top-of-the-line stage keyboard available with 76 or 88 keys...

Summertime is dancing time! That’s why we just had to focus on Roland drum machines, two samplers from Novation, and a wireless MIDI solution from CME WIDI in this week’s installment of synth deals! It very much seems like Roland is going all out in their legendary drum machines with savings of up to 25 percent! Let’s check them out! No other product line has shaped electronic music as much as Roland’s legendary drum machines TR-series. While the initial run of the TR-808 sold so poorly that Roland pretty much stopped making it after only a short time, crowd wisdom had other ideas. While quite a few first owners of the TS-808 were so dissatisfied at the time that they sold their units to pawn shops all around the US, it was there that the first wave of Hip Hop producers got the drum machines for cheap. And, as they say, the rest is history... The post Amazing Synth Deals: Roland Drum Machines, Novation, and CME WIDI! appeared first on gearnews.com.
