I found a very simple solution for creating lovely Arps with the TD-3. If you use Logic Pro you can connect the TD-3 as a "External Instrument" inside Logic. Then set in the TD-3 the clock "internal". Now you can load in Logic a MIDIFX ( i use XFER Cthulhu) in the TD-3 instrument. And you can play beautiful Arps with the TD-3. If there is interest in this solution i will try to make a video (never did one before) Sorry Pete dont want to hijack your thread
Bin auch deutscher weisste:) Und nachdem der deutsche dank dem Österreicher genug an Identität und Stolz verloren hat, is Techno definitiv wat, worauf ich stolz bin:)
Hi Pete, I came across this video whilst searching for TD-3. Really rather good and has inspired me to use the arpigiator on my Arturia Keystep to drive my TD-3. It's an easy function to use, so hopefully the tunrs wibe almost as satisfying as yours. Brian
Really Brilliant, Pete. Well Done! Entertaining talk-through, enjoyable video action - and Mesmerizing Arpeggios! Floated straight back to TD Phaedra & Rubycon, thru late 90s trance, and landed somewhere leftfield of today. You're very inspiring, Mate! Liked & subbed. .... Time to stretch my keystep ... Vielen dank und beste grüße aus Warschau!
This is clever. I have experimented with a similar implementation that only requires a single TD3. Basically I create the patterns in the TD3 sequencer, then I record them as MIDI clips into Ableton. Then I use the MIDI scale filter to conform the pitches to a scale of my choosing. Then I can use the MIDI clips plus filter to control the TD3.
Today i got my td-3. I am using the arturia keystep to control the td-3. The keystep also has a sequenz- and arpeggiator function. Works good for me and its a quick setup.
Didn’t build one, I uh just connected it via midi in from my Alessis andromeda or my darkstar and boom td-threpeggio. Also logic or ableton midi effects + arpeggiator etc etc
Great video. Right now I am converting SNES audio boards (64Kbytes of RAM but 16-bit samples are stored as 4-bit ADPCM) because they support upto 8 channels and the option of any combination of channels through the FIR filter so: dft([a(0), a(1), a(2), a(3), a(4), a(5), a(6), a(7)]) = [A(0), A(1), A(2), A(3), A(4), A(3)*, A(2)*, A(1)*] I think Nintendo give some examples: 7F 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - echo 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 - Eliminates 4, 8, 12 and 16 kHz. 0C 2B 2B 2B 28 FF F8 F9 - Band-stop between 6 kHz and 8.5 kHz (-15 dB). Smooth Low-pass cut-off at 13 kHz (-18 dB). 01 02 04 08 10 20 40 80 - high-pass filter 00 00 00 40 00 28 00 FE - notch filter with 8KHz at it's centre 34 33 00 D9 E5 01 FC EB - Ripples at 11 kHz ~ 13 kHz, 15 kHz ~ 16 kHz. But what the researchers have not made plain is that the 8-bit values are signed. For what it's worth, the SNES has a seperate daughter-board for audio. It has 64Kbytes of it's own memory, an SPC700 processor running at 1.024MHz and powerful DMA. I need to look much further but it seems very likely that the 8 FIR filters represent not consecutive samples but rather 64 or 128 samples apart and so knowing this, the cunning programmer can update the FIR setting so that one effect merges into another without having to suspend play. AFAIK the boards cost $20 but programming would require either a system with multiple parallel ports (kind of unlikely) or someone better than me at USB 2.0 communications so that: www.raphnet.net/electronique/snes_apu/APU_Interface.png The address can be set & held (or more specifically, increased after every write) and the 8 (4 x 2-bit) data lines are sent serials (again set and hold). I'm damned sure I can get the thing working on a PC but it isn't much use if it isn't possible to make hundreds or thousands of them that are cheap and reliable. I would be interested to know if Pete Midi is old enough to remember SNES games. In fact, when I worked for Core Design, I wrote a Master System, Megadrive, PC, NES, Game Gear, Gameboy, MegaCD & 32X music/SFX driver but because we only ever did 2 SNES titles, it wasn't seen as worthwhile to produce a sound drive. I know that C64 chips are now worth a fortune but how many broken SNES's are lying around with perfectly fine sound cards? To TEST them, a parallel port solution is acceptable but as for converting ti USB, no idea.
I've had a RD-8 about 6 months and a TD-3 about 3 months. While I've had some pretty good success pulling badass sounds from the TD-3 with a canyon delay (though any delay will help it shine) and a phaser, your device sounds like exACTly what I WANT my TD-3 to sound like all the time. It's truly the missing circuit for the TD-3 I honestly think you could try and put together a standalone box as an add-on for 303's. Really appreciate all your videos man, you very much know how to nail down the particulars of a thing and speak to what matters.
Great video Pete! Wow, Behringer really has a thing about over selling the arppegiation capabilities of their synths. They market the Pro 1 as having 3 patterns on their website. In reality it only has Up and Up/Down. Technically you can toggle it to OFF but, it seems cheap to consider that an arpeggiation mode.
Well, Pro-1 is the recreation of the Sequential circuits Pro One, so of course it has only two modes. I have the Pro-1, but I rarely ever use the built in sequencer and arpeggiator, since I have that in the Keystep.
Nice! Subscribed. I think I'll stick to external arps coming in over MIDI for now but I like the idea of the two variants of the same pattern. Have done similar with TD-3 + Crave. Didn't sounds as awesome as this though!
You can do all of those things in synth tribe, it's your firm ware updater and it's got some other functionalities.. You can also load a library of patterns. It is a full interface that lets you control the nuances on the unit.. It's not perfect yet but it's not buggy and it's free.
Hi Pete! Great video and arps! I'm a longtime tb & clone owner. You've really taken it to the next level. Is your tutorial video for setting up the arpeggiator incoming any time soon? Maybe you could suggest other ways to achieve this (max for live perhaps?) Keep up the great work, I'm subbed and looking forward to more of your quality content & demos/jams! Super helpful in helping me decide which offering from Behringer is next on my shopping list. Thank you!
Im dancing in my undergarments by the light of the moon reflecting off the Danube! I`m mesmerized , Pete you are the Pied Piper of Techno !!! Market it that add-on !!! I want one !
Recently ordered a TD-3, after watching your vid now I want a second one. haha. Hearing the two combined and esp with that arp sound was ace. Love your solution to the Arp too, it sounds amazing :)
Hey mate, did you conect the midi keyboard directly to the td3? Or the Only way is connecting the keyboard to the computer for use with Ableton for example and then the td3 to the computer by midi?
Fantastic. I nearly ordered one right at the start of the video as I am an aggregator addict. I have a Raspberry pi and am a software developer but don't have the time to fanny around to that extent. Nice jam. Thanks. Lee
Thank you for this excellent video. Would it be allright if we sampled some little pieces of your voice from this video to use in an acid track ? Like the bit in the beginning where you say the td-3 is good, and then later "something strange happenned"
It `s genius. __ The equipment is excellent, but .... much more important is the music that you create, that this music is ABSOLUTELY magical and works literally as moving to another state of consciousness. __ I completely flew away after a few minutes of listening. BRAVO.
Thank you so much for this video! I am not a dj, producer, just a home guy who has been into spy/goa trance for the last 20 years or so. Love the TB-303, so just bought the TD-3 to play with. Your video here totally blew my mind as to what a couple TD-3's could do! I have to ask, you were using the blue TD-3 for a basic background line, then using the red one for the enhancements? Also, what is that little keyboard thing u were using to change keys, I assume on the red TD-3? I don't know much about this stuff, still learning, but ABSOLUTELY LOVE what u did in this video!!!
Thank you so much! 😊 In my arpeggiator approach one td-3 plays the basic pattern, the other, in principle plays the same but with different notes given by the little keyboard. The note transform is done by a python script but can also been done by blokas midihub or mozaic for ios or... I tried to explain this a bit in a successive video.
Pete Midi I actually sent one back. It’s tough to come up with good sequences with three because of the quirks of the sequencer. I bought the MS1 instead
Many thanks! I'm just preparing the public verrsion of the script and will put it online together with a little tutorial. Td-3 and Model D is a cool combination, I will also try this!
My Bass Station II has an ACId function in the mixer or filter I think? But even though it cost about as much as both your TD-3's and PI together. (maybe a little more) I don't think I can do what you're doing here, it really sounds amazing! Brought me back to the '90s! great video! I guess Behringer is cheap in more ways than one!? lol!
I'm loving this. One of these days I should probably take my head out of my arse and actually use the fact I'm a programmer towards controlling my equipment...
I just got the td-3 and a rpi 3b+ after watching this, cheers man fantastic vid. With the python arp script, can I just copy/paste the github script into terminal, I'm running ubuntu? Or do I have to flash another card with only that script on it and boot it up headless? I'll use my NI m32 in the same way your doing with your midi controller. Thanks for any help
Thanks a lot for the feedback! You will have to get numpy and mido as additional python packages using pip3 installation. For mido you possibly need python-rtmidi, see mido documentation. The python script you can also load and start from the thonny editor. Hope this helps a bit...
I wonder if what they mean by arpeggio is if you hold start and clear you get a random pattern every time maybe that’s what they are considering arpeggio?
If you'd like to crank it up a notch, try using odd-length sequences. Example: - create a bass line on your primary sequencer in 5/8 or 7/8. - create a modulating arpeggiator in 3/8, made up of intervals taken from an appropriate chord, transposed up an octave such as 12, 16, 19, 21, 24 steps, etc. - run both sequences at the same BPM, and so that note changes are in sync. - listen to both the original bass line plus the modulated line as a complex melody that will be in key against the bassline. - Profit! The resultant melody sequence will be either 15 or 21 notes in length (5 or 7 * 3). Sequence lengths that are prime numbers often work best, as ones that are not may repeat a little too often. I've gotten some amazing results-- even tried a bass sequence of 31 16th notes (31/16?) against a 3/16 & 5/16 modulation which can produce an interesting melody of up to 155 notes before it repeats (though finding a workable 31 note bassline can be a challenge). This is a composition technique first described by Joseph Schillinger in the 1930s.
could you do it with a Crave and a TD-3? The Crave has an arpeggiator, and there are some inputs to the TD-3? Maybe someone who know what they are doing could explore this?
Mesmerizing indeed! If I can ask, would using a Keystep Pro provide the same functionality as this solution that you've demonstrated? Or is there something different about how this approach works that can't be reproduced by using the Keystep pro arpeggiator? Thank you for the inspirational jams!
Many thanks! The idea was to transform a td-3 pattern into an arpeggio. If you just want a usual arpeggiator, keystep pro is a nice option (among many others)
“And as soon as I heard it, I ordered a second one!” Love it!

Appegiator will maybe aviable via an update in a later time. I use a Korg Z1 as appegiator now.
Korg Z1: 👍
This is so good! How it works? Máster sequence transposes the arpeggiator and this transposes slave sequence? Thanks
Thanks 😊 master sequence is transformed to slave sequence using note specific transpose controlled by the keyboard

The resultant melody sequence will be either 15 or 21 notes in length (5 or 7 * 3). Sequence lengths that are prime numbers often work best, as ones that are not may repeat a little too often. I've gotten some amazing results-- even tried a bass sequence of 31 16th notes (31/16?) against a 3/16 & 5/16 modulation which can produce an interesting melody of up to 155 notes before it repeats (though finding a workable 31 note bassline can be a challenge). This is a composition technique first described by Joseph Schillinger in the 1930s.
Syncopator would love to see a video demonstrating this 🙂
Yes, poly-metric variations can be nice...
No
I use minilab 3 has a decent arp mode, and a delay pedal
Wow. Amazing.
Many thanks!
could you do it with a Crave and a TD-3? The Crave has an arpeggiator, and there are some inputs to the TD-3? Maybe someone who know what they are doing could explore this?
what sort of control do you have over the arppeggio? what parameters are you able to mess with and what not?
Arpeggio entirely depends on the (master) TD-3 sequence, you just replace the notes (pitch) by the chord notes played with the keyboard
Thank you for sharing your knowledge!! awesome!
Thanks a lot for the feedback! 😊
I like that arp at 8:00! Cool set up
Thanks for the feedback!
I might have to order a second TD-3 as well. This is amazing work, Pete!
Many thanks for the feedback! 😊
Truly wonderful. Sounds amazing. Thank you very much.
Many thanks for the nice feedback! 😊
You are genious man
😉
Mesmerizing indeed! If I can ask, would using a Keystep Pro provide the same functionality as this solution that you've demonstrated? Or is there something different about how this approach works that can't be reproduced by using the Keystep pro arpeggiator?
Thank you for the inspirational jams!
Many thanks! The idea was to transform a td-3 pattern into an arpeggio. If you just want a usual arpeggiator, keystep pro is a nice option (among many others)
That was cool!
Thanks! 😊
The music is wonderful!!!
Thanks a lot! 😊
More great work! Thanks. You make it look easy!!😀
Many thanks! 😊
Those are crazy sounds.

Any plans to review Behringer Crave?
No, but great little synth anyhow...
