Provenance
The same counts the audit prints.
187 of 187 values provisional. 50 of 99 ranges cited to the RHYTHM DESIGNER RD-8 User Manual, 49 unverified.
A point is the setting to dial, and it counts as cited only where a document prints that value. A range is the control’s own limits, and mood may move a value only inside a cited range, so 0 parameters here declare an axis that cannot move.

content
the Specifications Voices block gives all sixteen sounds as Analog, and the storage blocks list what the box stores as 16 songs of 16 patterns of 64 steps — sequencer data and no audio. There is no card slot, no import path and no sample memory in 30 pages
manual — RHYTHM DESIGNER RD-8 User Manual, p.26
- Read, does not say
clock.preferredSource
p.5 has the box leading — "the RD-8 lets you control external synths and hardware sequencers to create songs without a DAW in sight" — and gives send and receive in one symmetric sentence, then says in the same column that it "can be controlled by a DAW if required". The only worked hook-up, §15 on p.24, draws USB in both directions and labels neither end. Nothing in 30 pages states which job it is for

Build a kit
Every one of these is this box on its own. Nothing is loaded.
18 drum sounds this box makes from scratch, in the order to build them. Work down the list: open one, patch it, set the values, then record a single hit before moving to the next.

One row per recipe, because one name can be read off more than one page: this box authors 187 values across 19 recipes, and a list de-duplicated by name would keep one citation and drop the rest.

A rig is more than one box. These are what Behringer RD-8 covers alone, which is the floor rather than what it will do beside something else.
