Pricing and Availability
The 6equencer is available now for 210,00 €.
Behringer RD-6 = 129 €…..incl both sound and the step-sequencer…
Behringer? A) 159€ B) has only 2 trigger outs. C) Doesn’t have the same sequencer functionality D) Requires you to enrich an unethical parasite
The RD-6 can only trigger two external sounds using the LT and HT trigger outputs
This can trigger eight external sounds
I’m not sure how much this has in common with a 606 other than being a TR style sequencer though
Cool nonetheless – not bad for the price – pretty useful in a small setup
very nice! I’ll definitely will check it out.
