This has been three weeks in the making... Here's our longest video yet - the RD-8 V2 review! We give you a complete tour of the machine while showing lots of useful features along the way. And of course you can find a detailed explanation of everything in our updated RD-8 cheat sheet.

This might be interesting to you as well if you're waiting for Behringer's RD-9 (which was now finally announced). The two machines supposedly share the same firmware and - judging from what can be seen in the announcement video - the operation will be practically the same.
