this is gonna be a chill one yo. I spent the last couple of weeks jamming with this particular combo and I just wanted to make a video about it.
I'll cover how to: connect the Elektron Digitakt and Behringer TD-3 via MIDI and audio; set the MIDI preferences on the TD3; set the MIDI preferences on the Digitakt (it is trickier than I thought); sequence notes on the Digitakt sequencer in a way the emulates the iconic TB-303 sequencer, including accents and slides.
lovely lil jam at the end guaranteed.

I recently started doing this with my Digitakt and TD-3.
Just a hint on monitoring, instead of using the Direct In to monitor, you should use the mixer inputs. You'll have a delay and reverb as well as panning to add to the TD-3 signal
thank you! would you mind outlining how to do that?
@@BIGUMAMI Sure thing.
Press and hold Func, then press LFO button(master) 3 times. You'll be in the External Mixer page and will have access to the input volume, panning, delay send, and reverb send. You also have the option to make the 2 inputs into 2 separate mono inputs or a stereo input.
@@NoizCode aw yeah that's right! cool stuff! I'm pinning this comment, thank you. PS: do you know if this allows you to bring external audio in DAW with overbridge? cos that'd be killlllerrrr
@@BIGUMAMI it does work as an additional channel via overbridge
Bro this is Killer
instead of pressing all the notes to copy... try holding the page button and press the record button to copy the whole page in sequencer mode. soooo much easier than the spider Hand.
thank you so much for the tip! in this case I think I actually needed only some notes from the page, but great tip nonetheless, super useful!!!
Lovely jam, very cool use of the TD 3, it really is a great little synth if you put the time in with it!
It really is! thank you for the kind words!
You covered everything here, I can now use my Syntakt to MIDI control my TD-3-MO. Your a legend! 👌🏻
thank you! you're too kind though, I believe I skipped a couple details. glad it helped you though!
What don’t you think you covered then?
So solid! Thank you ! Sweet jam
thanks for listening!
Thanks man I’ve been struggling with this for days !
glad I helped!!!!
Great song and tutorial. Gonna give this a try. Subscribed, cheers!
awesome! thanks
final result is Nice
I love the 303 sequencer. I just treat it like a colab with a human instead of trying to get something specific. I choose notes and tool around with the rhythm til it’s cool.
yes, that is the classic, and possibly absolute best way to use it! but unfortunately for me since I discovered Luke Vibert, I found out that being more deliberate and thoughtful with the 303 yields incredibly musical results. like having a full jazzy chord progression and actually write a bassline that complements it... he's the absolute 303 goat!
@@BIGUMAMI This is a big fact too. It’s why I’ve been meaning to play with sequencing my T-D3 externally. That and picking up a few more of the 303s that are out there. I kinda want them all 🫠
@@koalemos1679 I know right? I picked this one up cosit was cheap but I kinda want the avalon which is stupid expensive!
@@BIGUMAMI The Avalon looks dope but it’s way out of my price range. I kinda want the TB-3 touch bass. It’s kinda silly but it has way more than just a square or saw wave and it’s a Roland so you know they got the articulation correct. The envelope and how it responds to slides or tied notes can make or break a 303.
Love it
thank you Berend!
Great video. ✌️
thank you!
Don’t use Monitor to get audio from the TD3, press FUNC+LFO a couple times to get into the mixer where you can route the input L and R, add fx and compression too
great tip! thank you!!!
great combo! I will try TD3 + Digitone
have fun!
Fressshhhh!
Exactly what I was looking for! I don't have a Digitakt but a Syntakt. Luckily they all share the same excellent sequencer. Perfect controller for a great sounding but horrid to program synth like the 303 / TD-3. Cheers!
beautiful! glad to be of help!
Nice vid ❤
thank you!!!
what is up greedy guts? I have a Discord server! come and chat about samplers, software, and leave some suggestions on what videos you want to see next: discord.gg/DMntZNBX
You cannot control TD-3 parameters like filter or resonance via MIDI from the DT right?
Great video ! What is the name of the famous break on minute 7 ? Thank you
lyn collins - think
the best damn break ever aha
Mellow
What makes the tb 303 really shine is the sequencer bro
well... it depends. if your goal is to make 1-bar acid, oh my god, yes, so many happy accidents can happen literally only thanks to the sequencer.
if you have like a 4 bar a chord progression, and you're trying to be more deliberate, trying to write a sequence that fits in the progression and makes sense harmonically, THAT is a pain in the ass
@@BIGUMAMI you can link patterns on clones too, I think depends more on the genre but I digress
@@davidpinto1195 yeah you can definitely chain patterns on the td3, as I do in another video, I meant like... 4 bars are 64 notes. If you wanna have a bassline that glues well with your chord progressions, that's a LOT of notes. hours of trial and error. not ideal aha
and also, what in the sequencer make the 303 great imho are the accents and the slides, mostly. you can replicate that easily in most sequencers as shown in the video.
Hello!
How you define the pitch in TD 3, only by ear?
Please, could you tell me how you do it?
All to the left means -1 octave. In the center you have normal octave and hard right means +1 octave. If you want to be sure you’re on pitch use hard left or right and then program pitch from your sequencer
where can i find the break at 7:00? been looking for it for years xp
look up think break on google!
Could this technically work on the Syntakt with the TD3 ?
I'm pretty sure it would, I don't have one but if I'm not mistaken, it has 4 MIDI tracks correct?
Is there any way to purchase the sample pack with a different payment method than a credit card?
unfortunately I'm stuck with the options that woocommerce gave me! there's Gpay - I'm gonna try and see if I can add PayPal, I'll let you know!
I think behr wanted it to be authentic that's why the seq is a direct copy
orrrrr... they wanted to spend exactly ZERO money on R&D lol
TD-3 is tempting at times for the price and the sound. but then i hear so much complaining about its sequenxer
it takes practice, you have to input a sequence a note at a time then play it. you can't change it while it's playing. once you have a nice set of patterns you can do everything else in real time. you can pick a range of patterns to play in a loop, tweak the knobs, transpose up/down by notes or octaves, pick any pattern for next turn around the loop. It kind of assumes you have a bass line in mind and you're just going to copy it from tab or sheet music, rather than being something interactive. (the original Roland TB-303 actually shows how to input sheet music, one note at a time, into it)
It's the worst experience you can imagine. That's why I'm looking for every alternative way to program the TD3
