Great video, thank you very much! Like a few others in the comments I struggled to set up my TD-3 with Cubase at first, but then I found that with USB you have to open Cubase's Transport/Project Synchronisation and select the TD-3 to receive timecode (thanks to The Blackcurrant Moon Foundation) for their comment). Using MIDI cables it is a little simpler, however I needed to set the MIDI filter to omit Thru notes otherwise I got feedback loops from the TD-3. Anyway, I got there in the end so thanks again! 😀

Interesting video. I recently put a deposit on one locally. So just been having a look-see to find out all about it meantime. And liking what am seeing. It seems a little more versatile than my Roland TB-3 (and am keen to try their TB-03 version as their ACB technology ROCKS!) with regards outboard functionality (Though there are now some free and paid 'editors' for the TB-3/03). I don't bother with the whole TB-303 vs TB-3 vs TD-3 and so on. Analogue vs Digital etc. I feel it wastes my time (Unless something is actually totally crap no matter how much you try to incorporate it). Exploit their differences, and exploit each's boundaries. Yeh, I'm looking forward to trying out this little box!

To my ears, the internal sequencer sounds better. Specifically the slides. I don't know exactly how behringer has built the cirquitry of the sequencer, but if they have indeed copied the cirquits of the 303, there should be something other than a midi trigger to those slides. Maybe it's all in my mind but I really think the slides sound more tight. You should be able to import sequences into the td-3 via the software editor and save them to a pattern slot. Try it and see if you can hear a difference too. Programming the td3 is not too hard. If you follow a guide and do it a few times, you'll learn how to do it.

Do you mean whether you can prevent the TD-3's sequencer from sending MIDI out? Not to my knowledge. A workaround would be to either (1) block/filter the incoming channel/port in the DAW or (2) use a MIDI cable instead of USB, as this allows you to send MIDI one way only (DAW to TD-3 MIDI in).

Yes, correct. The audio is not transmitted via USB so you have to connect the TD-3 mono audio output to one input of your PC or audio interface. These are typically not XLR but mono-jack cables.

For syncing you have to decide which component of your setup is the master. Typically that is the DAW, which should be able to send MIDI clock to several machines at the same time. If however you need the TR-8 to be the master then it might be tricky. You could connect the TR-8 to the TD-3 directly. I'm not sure whether you can slave the DAW to the TR-8 while at the same time slaving the TD-3 to the DAW.

Thank you for this tutorial, however I have 2 questions/problems... 1) When I start a recording from my daw, the TD-3 starts playing as expected but there is a delay in the start making the TD3 sound out of sync with the other instruments. I have this issue when starting through MIDI as well as USB. I can use a delay on the channel but the problem is that the delay is not consistent and varies between 20 and 70ms so I can not use a static delay. My soundcard delay should only be 3ms (128 buffer length). Is this something you experienced or know how to fix? 2) When playing from the sequencer glide is working perfectly, but when recording MIDI notes from the TD-3 into FL Studio and then playing them back, the TD-3 skips notes where glide has been used (2 notes playing at the same time in the MIDI pattern). Is this something you experienced When I play the notes live on my keyboard like you did, glide is working however.

Unfortunately I have not used the TD-3 much, I'll try to answer as well as I can: (1) MIDI sync offset (delay) is a common issue on a lot of gear, the TD-3 is not an exception. Time variation should not occur; it might be due to the MIDI interface/USB. I had many issues with MIDI timing over the years with various interfaces. (2) I did not notice that, weird! Sounds as if for the internal sequencer this trick works, but once you record the MIDI output and then play it back to the TD-3 it won't anymore. Seems you'll have to edit/correct those notes manually in the DAW.

@@LeadingMotive Thank you for your reply! In the meanwhile I was able to identify the issue of the fluctuating time sync issues and anticipate to it. For anyone that it concerns: The problem was caused by the start/stop button being active or inactive by the time that I press play on my DAW. When the button was not yet active it took the TD-3 longer to start the sequence (higher delay) and the delay time was fluctuating. If I manually press the start/stop button on the TD-3 already before pressing play in the DAW (the pattern will not start because the unit is in MIDI/USB mode) the delay will still be +-60ms but it is a pretty consistent delay (between 55-65ms) so I can use a static delay set on the mixer to anticipate to the delay already and just finetune the +-5ms that are left manually afterwards.

Do you want to use the TD-3 as a sound module, playing it on an external MIDI keyboard via a DAW? Then you have to connect the TD-3 to the computer via USB or MIDI cable (DAW out to TD-3 in). You then instruct the DAW (this should be a track setting) to send the keyboard's incoming MIDI notes to the TD-3 on MIDI channel 1. This should not require any change to the TD-3's settings.

If I understand correctly, he is using Ableton as an arpeggio generator. So the chain is external keyboard -> Ableton -> TD-3. This does not require any settings on the TD-3. The TD-3 by default responds to incoming MIDI notes on channel 1.

Hey i got a question. Is there a way to use just the internal seq from the Td-3 and just Synth it by the Digitakt? Dont get it

@LeadingMotive

3 жыл бұрын

You mean so that the Digitakt feeds the sync signal to the TD-3? As long as the Digitakt can send a sync signal via MIDI cable (don't know the Digitakt, sorry) it should work in the same way as in my video, the only difference being that you set the TD-3 to receive sync via MIDI instead of USB.

is there any difference between using USB and MIDI cables or will I be able to do the exact same stuff?

@LeadingMotive

It's the standard MIDI-over-USB so it should be identical to the classic DIN MIDI as far as I am aware. The only difference coming to mind is that USB provides IN and OUT at the same time, so you cannot do convoluted routings to/from different machines.

Whenever I try to sequence my Td3 with an external sequencer, it always plays 1 sequenced note and skips the next. And so on... Any idea's whats the issue here?

That's literally the first thing I explained at 0:43... you need to have either overlapping notes or use pitch bend messages for the slide effect to work via MIDI. I hope your sequencer supports one of the options.

Thanks! That kind of interference seems to be a common issue when using USB connections unfortunately.

thank you for the inciteful and clear tutorial. I had now question which I'm hoping you or somebody reading the comments can. I use a cirklon to sequence. bunch of my hardware gear including the td-3 - I pre make my patterns on the td3 but is there a way I can trigger those patterns (including all its slides/accents and different time signatures) on the td3 from the cirklon. I'm only able to pregame in any riffs on the cirklon direct if it is in Midi mode. it won't play the pre programmed notes I've put in. The original Roland 303 was able to override this and play any patterns made before hand. Providing there were no pattern notes inputted in the cirklon sequencer. I was hoping the same would apply buy having no joy here.. hoping someone can assist..??

If you mean that the TD-3 should play from its own internal sequencer while being slaved to another machine, that is possible as long as the external device can provide MIDI sync (like the DAW in my video). However I don't know whether it's possible to switch the TD-3's sequences via MIDI commands (I assume not).

There are no digitally stored patches on the TD-3, hence MIDI program change messages would not work. To change a sound you have to set it up manually using the TD-3’s front panel controls.

Can it record Filter CC data & play it back.. If not, that is a shame...

The TD-3 has analog potentiometers that do not send MIDI data. Also the filters etc. are directly controlled by the potentiometers. Therefore what you are attempting is not possible. The other synths you mention must have digital controls with MIDI capabilities. That's more expensive though and would most likely have increased the TD-3's price.
