    Yep, they are good.
    Loved my TD-3 so much, I bought the RD-6 to go with it, even though I have other good drum machines already.
    So glad I did. These two music gadgets together, are a match made in heaven!
    I personally find the build quality to by perfect for this application, and my personal preference.
    I actually want this to be inexpensive, with lightweight plastic build, in fruit candy transparent colors.
    I already have expensive, high quality studio gear, that I love and take good care of.
    I wanted something different, that I can knock around with, without worrying about it getting dinged and these are perfect for that.
    I also like all the features Behringer has packed into these clones.
    MIDI, USB, Individual outs, trigger outs, clock in/out, Gate out, Randomizer, distortion effect, cut/paste, software for making/storing patterns, etc.
    I like the knob shapes, with the sloped top, that gives you touch feedback, so you know where it is at, without having to look at it.
    The selector knobs have a nice positive click to them, when you change the selection.
    The pots, have a little more resistance than I prefer, but are very smooth turning.
    The sound quality is very good, and the fun factor is high.

      @@LeithH-x3e They are not the same. Which to get depends on what you are interested in. The RD-6 is a drum machine, and the TD-3 is a bass machine. Each works great on it's own, and with each other.
      If you don't already have a drum machine, I would get the RD-6 first, then add the TD-3 next.
      If you are on a tight budget, and have an iPad, I would recommend purchasing the Pure Acid App, as it has both the drum machine and bass, plus a whole lot of other great features that the Behringer hardware lacks.
      Happy Birthday!

      What is fun with the 303 is that it hasn't been created for making House musik at the beginning, and the 303 creator tadao kikumoto was pretty surprised to learn the Ravers "stole" his creation to use as an all night long hypnotic Party maker synth, Phuture (dj pierre-acid trax!), as it was first created as a virtual bass player for guitarists playing alone! Well, the psychiadelic in musik, arts, culture, instruments, influenced and touched many different styles and cultures I think, but even Espen Kraft that has not this rave music taste I think, would surely appreciate some acid tracks that are not part of Acid House/Techno/Trance movement, but more psychedelic electroish early 80's feels such as, for example, the extraordinary indian classical /acid album from the amazing visionar Charanjit Singh called ‎ Synthesizing: Ten Ragas To A Disco Beat (out in1982, 5 years befor the first acid house track...) My thoughts is 303 and what has been called Acid sound, is in my opinion, capable to have many other uses in terms of musik creation and sound design and also can go far more than club or party used, even if it's undoubtly one of the most important, iconic and inspiring sound in the Clubbin' History ^^ Considering this, please Espen try to introduce a bit of acid injection in one of your creation someday, would be great ! 😜 Peace

    Nice demo of these two machines, I never thought of playing the TD3 from a MIDI keyboard, but it sounds great as a bass synth (not just an acid bass synth!). The sound of these two go really well together, as they are supposed to.
    I agree about the cheap build (would glady pay more for a more solid build) Behringer are a little inconsistant (my Model D is built like a tank, nice switches, Same with the RD8, but the Pro1, built like a tank but terrible switches, TD3 built like a cheap, fragile toy!).

    I have both of these. I love them. I love the individual outputs on the RD-6. I have those plugged into a 24 channel Mackie mixer. The Arturia Keystep Pro is great with these. It has an 1/8 inch clock output that works great if you aren't going to be sending MIDI notes. The KSP let's me set an exact tempo.
    I had no idea that the RD-6 spit out MIDI notes. I will have to play with that.
    I got these mainly for the Acid House sound. But I have been having fun trying other sounds. Having the resonance half way gives a nice non acid bass sound. I plan on getting the modded out version. That way I can use one for bass and one for acid top lines.
    For the price these are hard to beat.

    I actually prefer the sound of the RD-6 to the 606 sounds on my TR-8S. Midi sync I find improves if you let the TD-3 sit for a while. By the way - until I saw this video, I never considered playing the TD-3 externally as to me it’s just a bit of fun (I have the yellow one). Anyway, I just ran my TD-3 via midi using my Moog matriarch as controller.. Probably not the best use for a Moog 😂

      First I thought you are again one of these guys saying how Bad the Behringer Clone is, and YOUR original Roland 606 and 303 must be absolut much better, because.... this and that and everything.... but thx for saving us from that. Behringer Clones are really analog machines and offers the benefits of analog circurits for real and not a Digital simulation, that Sounds certainly very smart and nice, but at the end, very far away from the original charming comparable Sound of a real analog circurit. The Behringer analog sounds might Sound a little bit different, but in general it is much easier to Hit the tone with the same technic than using a completely other technic like Digital Software emulations..... you hear it.

I never accepted the extravagant prices for the vintage. But now everything is good again. The build quality ist good, and many other manufacturers try to fool us with high prices ab less quality. So you get a good quality for the price, I would say the best. But compare to other very very expensive manufacturers the quality maybe better with a good reason you have to expect. For my home Studio it is a dream, and many many home musicans and live Musicans, the built quality is good enough.

    Thanks for the video - I already have a TD-3 and an RD-8, and the RD-6 is on order - but I have a question - do you know exactly where the MIDI sync lag is actually focussed? I assume that it's only in the RD-6 because I have no problems with syncing my RD-8 to my TD-3, but I'm curious to know if you've tried using both the RD-6 and the TD for the master clock, or only one of them?
    Does the sync lag occur both ways around or only one?

      To use the Td-3 as master is out of the question for my type of setups. I need to have the Rd-6 to be master and that doesn't work over Midi. But it's not working the other way around either. Again, over midi.

      @@EspenKraft - thanks! Interesting, because I plan to sync them all off of an Alesis MMT-8 master clock, so I'll have to experiment with MIDI-syncing the TD-3 to the MMT-8, then using the sync cable from the TD-3 to the RD-6 if necessary...

      That should work just fine. That's what I did in the studio. DAW to RD-6 (midi) and sync (trigger) to the Td-3 from the Rd-6. No problems at all.

    I had the TD3, loved it and had to get a TR6. The minimal lay out of the TR6 makes it really easy to jam and make music with it. Even though I have better sounding drum machines, I find myself using this one, because it’s fun and easy to use.

      That's exactly why I just ordered the RD-6. I have an RD-8 but it's much less portable. It's more capable, bit I also want something small that’s easier to just [move around and] play with. Sometimes less complexity can be good!

      First I thought you are again one of these guys saying how Bad the Behringer Clone is, and YOUR Clone must be absolut much better, because.... this and that and everything.... but thx for saving us from that. Behringer Clones are really analog machines and offers the benefits of analog circurits for real and not a Digital simulation, that Sounds certainly very smart and nice, but at the end, very far away from the original charming comparable Sound of a real analog circurit. The Behringer analog sounds might Sound a little bit different, but in general it is much easier to Hit the tone with the same technic than using a completely other technic like Digital Software emulations..... you hear it.

    Why is nobody talking about the RD-606 being a total snoozefest compared to the RD-8 which isn't much more expensive? I get that it should be assumed because its a TR-606 clone but ZERO tone-shaping variability!? I owned the RD-8 mk1 briefly and loved how they went beyond the TR-808 especially with the analog dynamics fx. I don't see how this box is any more than a sampler/seq would sound if you put samples of these sounds into it. The only reason anyone would buy this is because they want to have a 606 clone. I don't think being analog really has any benefit here other than "bragging rights" (lame).

I would control the knob actions manually and record them to audio after I was done sequencing.
