Behringer TD-3 Modded Out - Tutorial

Музыка

I've recently bought this Behringer TD-3 Modded Out version and I love it! Here is a quick overview of how it works, as the manual isn't very extensive.
The 303 sequencer is unique in a sense that you enter pitch and gate data separately, similar to modular synthesis. This workflow makes it easy to come up with semi-random patterns.
For a deep dive into sequencing with the TD3 check out this tutorial by XNB:

    Thanks for this great overview and tutorial 🙏🏻 really got me started quickly 😊 👍🏻 Also got myself the Bassliner app for iOS / ipadOS / macOS M1 (Android?). Happy accidents will more likely occur on the hardware, but the app makes realtime programming the onboard sequencer AND managing / backup patterns sooooo much easier and fun! 👌🏻 Not cheap, but great!

    Accent Sweep switch description is very ambiguous... position 2 muffles sweeps (very practical), 0 and 1 change the direction of filter sweeps: lower to higher(going up) and higher to lower(goin down) freqs, you can check it on spectrum analyzer in any DAW

    THANK YOU!!! Just bought mine yesterday with a rudimentary understanding, but this video is brilliant for the finer points! Interestingly, my volume pot has a bit of scratchiness to it out of the box...not like it's something you touch anyway but a bit of a bummer! Otherwise, what a great bit of kit!!

    I was hoping to see you talk about the red accent button and why you have to hold it down to keep it engaged and why they didn't make it like the sub oscillator button where once it's pressed it stays engaged until you punch it in again. I feel like this is a big let down in its production and I'm looking to find a means to modify this button to act just like the sub oscillator.

    Well it is an accent do that implies it to be a temporary action. You could open it up and replace it with a latching switch. I wouldn't expect any proprietary parts so finding a replacement wouldn't be that hard I guess.

    Thank you for the nice video! : ) I'm new to analog synths, but I really want to start from somewhere ... can you recommend which two Behringer synths to get ? May be one of them must be the Crave?

    It depends a bit on the genre, but I would recommend a polysynth for chords like the Pro 800. The crave is cool, but I would have a look at the Kobol expander too as that provides you with a bit more sound design options.

    @@optoproductions Thank you for the advise! From what I've seen in youtube, I really like the Crave, the Edge, the TD-3-MO, Neutron and RD-6 . The thing I've just realized is that I would need a sound mixer if I want to use all of them together. : ) And I was wondering if they can send audio output via the USB out on the back? So instead of connecting them to a mixer I can connect them to a USB hub and the PC and mix the sound in a software?
