Very Sick! Just got the TD-3-MO and nearly every other guide starts with this is a nightmare to enter patterns.. talk about discouraging a newb, finally you describe it very meticulously, not too slow/not too fast. Thank You!
@@dokthor303 please do! Just watch for the high frequencies, they really bite!!😜 It will give a slightly fatter, distorted sound as it's causing feedback.
@@squintygreeneyes From what I see, those last 2 letters apply to the color of it. I have the yellow, TD-3 AM. This one TD-3 RD, would make sense to be red. Other than that, I think all TD-3's are the same, regardless of color. But I can't say for sure, if someone here knows otherwise, please correct me! :)
@@PsyGoaLoverprecisely. I have the black variation, and can’t read the frame-box sometimes, because black ink on the black synth is not for a good reading unless you have a flash/light on it. My fault. 🤦🏼♂️ 🤣😂
Lil Trick if you just wanna use the filter. You need to put the slider for the waveform in the middle, so that the oscilator is not playing but the gate is still opening.
Man, so helpful. I still need to get my head around the moving ahead of notes, when adding ties, but with another watch and some hands on practice, I should get better and it is all thanks to you. Great job.
This is the very first tutorial that actually works with what i needed to learn. I´ve been triying to understand how to program the whole track secction, for around a year, without success until now. Thanks a lot for reaaal!!
Thank you. I have been neglecting mine for some time simply because I have bass-boxes that are easier to use. But I am determined to master this thing.
It is funny. Is weird and complicated to program, but that's where the magic happens, sometimes you miss something or you randomly add notes or changes and it always sounds musical.
I've had a lot of equipment like that. It makes me wonder if I should get one or not. Behringer should have updated the controls like they did with the RD-8.
This is awesome, thanks. I've just got my TD-3 linked up to Ableton so will get home tonight and work my way through this in order to understand how to use the TD-3. Much appreciated.
@@oshradeiy If you are using Ableton; go the midi tab in preferences and select your midi controller from the drop down menu in the Control Surface box and TD 3 in the input box 👍
Have a good coffee mate!.... what a great knowledge of this sinth, you have spent quite a lot of time with td3 for sure... thats the only way how to learn... no shortcuts here 💥 ... thank youuuuu!!!!!
Hey !!! Thanks for the coffee !! It's one of those synths or gear where the interaction really pays off. Specially if you fool around with it. Happy mistakes can happen. Thanks for the comment and the support.
This is without doubt the best video tutorial on the td3. Personally I just use ableton to control it. (So much easier). Now I'll be able to stick it in a bag and take it away with me. Thanks! ❤
Great guide! It’s also possible to redo the time steps without redoing the pitches, which is a lot of fun :) Also a fun detail, as bizarre as the sequencer is, I grasped it fairly quickly and had a lot of fun doing semi-accidents. On the other hand, I have never become friends with the Crave/Mother-sequencer.
Oh Mate,what a vid just what I needed. I'm a total newb, havin lost 30+ yrs of records that I can't replace thought I'd have a go At makin some noise,was gonna get a pocket op today but now not sure what I need to sync with this . Will be watchin it a few more times for sure,Best info iv com across CHEERS😁😍🎹🎵🎶🎼🎹🥁🥁
Owned orig TB303 in 1988, sold it for $100. Now out of regret some 36 yrs later I bought the TD-3 MO. And I am now gettin flashbacks of the TB303 causing me PTSD !
Thanks, well done. I speak from experience and in my opinion it is so much nicer to have the acidlab version of this. But finally maybe I will try making some patterns on this one after this great video.
OMG, I am going to be LIVING with this video, lol! I am no professional musician producer, whatever, just a guy who has been into goa/psy trance since the early 2000's. Have always wanted a TB-303, just because, and now I have the TD-3 to play with! I will be going step by step with what you are showing here, along with you, will help ,e SO MUCH in learning this thing! Btw, I just picked up a Donner B-1 to play with, am thinking if I figure out how to link them together, that could open up some very interesting possibilities! But my main thing here is to thank you for going into this detail on the TD-3, it will help me so much! And, just subscribed! :D
Thank you bro! I've had mone for about 6 months and barely touched it because I just don't get it....until now. When I get paid I will drop some appreciation.
Triplets, in the context of 4/4 pattern, divides the beat (1/4 quarter note) into three equal measures (1/3) instead of the usual two, or four measures (1/8th notes or 1/16th notes).✌
Just got one of these, after the video on the Volca 2, I came straight here to get the lowdown... I have a feeling its going to be a lot different to my old school 4 stings... ; )
I bought a green one, it sounds great, but then i stumbled on a pdf of all the needed parts and instructions on how to mode it out. Naturally, i bought the needed components and was just about to do surgery when i again! stumbled on the td-3-mo. You already know, i went ahead and pulled the trigger and copped it. So now i have a lime td-3 as well as the components to transmutate it to mo. version...
Glad you enjoyed! I don't have one. Everything you see on my channel, pay it with my own money. So....the roland one, is very expensive. Unless Roland contacts me to do one and provide it, i don't think I'll cover it. I would love to, of course. Thanks for the comment
Im new to this. Is this what i need to make a song? Where are the drums? Can u do a video on start to finish how to make a song and what u need all way from cables to computer and soeakers and how to hook it all up. Thanks in advance.
@@XNBeatsMusic That feature is just amazing! It made me rediscover the TD3 capabilities and fall in love with it again (I use it now to generate different midis that I use on other instruments also)
I was a bit confused with the time/rest section. I take it you just need to think about a bassline, write in the notes, then write in the ties etc. So it's not about rearranging your idea, it's just a way of writing out the melody, notes first and timing later?
Yeah. I think so. Plan the notes for your baseline… instead of his 1355… maybe you have a 3641 variation or whatever… I have some music theory left in my brain, but planning the right notes is a good idea.
Thank you so much. Sequencing on the TD is cumbersome but you did help. It’s not a straight machine but then that’s the way it’s made Need to see the video again and write down steps It’s a challenging machine but then that’s the TB 303 Thanks again Can you tell me if I should get the TD3 Or the Newer one TD 3 MO
Sadly I’m told by Behringer there is no way to reset to original settings so once you mess with a sequence the original is gone. I will probably pick a couple I’m not thrilled about and use them to make new ones and then clear those to use again.
The original presets were nothing special that you couldn’t do yourself and even better. There are some very good Presets out there you can purchase which can be a big help getting you started.
Hey love your videos, they've really helped me reinvigorate my interest in going dawless. I recently bought the TD3 - MO, would you say most of this applies to that too or is this a different breed altogether?
Really appreciate your video, it helped me with track creation. But can someone explain to me what the Pattern groups are? How do I know in wich group any of my pattern are?
Is it just that I have 7 Pattern groups with respectively 16 Pattern(a and b side) that i can store and 4 Tracks in Total? And the Number of the Pattern tells in which Track it can be played?
Great video. Helped a lot. Maybe - just to be a really complete guide - you should have mentioned that it can be controlled via midi and usb too. And do you know what the del, ins and Ch buttons are for? Or did I miss this in your video? Greetings Christopher
I guess I mentioned but I didn't dive into it, with each guide I need to leave some thing out or maybe not expand on it because this videos are reaaally long. Thanks for the comment, I love when I respectfully receive a critic, some other people has no idea how to really talk to people and they just attack you.
@@XNBeatsMusic thanks for your answer. Definitely no critic, your video is really great. Especially the Back button for editing was new and very helpful for me.

Plug the phones out, into the filter in, for a super squelchy, whistling, chirpy effect! Adds another tone/character, to the box!
Wow, very inetersting. I will check it, thanks!:)
@@dokthor303 please do! Just watch for the high frequencies, they really bite!!😜

This is the most in depth walk thru of the TD-3 out there. Props for taking the time to make this, I have learned so much 🙌
which model of td-3 is this,? there are a lot of versions. is this TD-3-RD ?

@@PsyGoaLovercorrect. Although there is now a “MO” for “MODDED OUT” version.

This is rhe definitive guide to programming the TD3. No doubt. Cleared up a lot of confusion for me. Thank you very much!
Thanks Paul, glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this so much. Been struggling with depression, and music is my saving grace. God bless.✌️✌️
I bought the TB 3 MO this Christmas and this video is what answered all my questions, thank you so much
No way, thanks for doing this tutorial!
Thanks for the walk through. Really easy to follow if you’re new to the td3 like me.
Man, so helpful. I still need to get my head around the moving ahead of notes, when adding ties, but with another watch and some hands on practice, I should get better and it is all thanks to you. Great job.
Yeah, it takes a while. But, sometimes you have happy mistakes, let it be :)

Your Channel is King. You helped me with the K2, D and now TD3. Thank you very much.
Thank you for this video! I've always been hesitant to learn music and this video has really helped me feel confident in trying out the TD-3!
This is without doubt the best video tutorial on the td3. Personally I just use ableton to control it. (So much easier). Now I'll be able to stick it in a bag and take it away with me. Thanks! ❤
Would love to see a deep dive on the 3mo they brought out, youre very knowledgable about hardware synths, been binge watching your channel for hours!

Very clear and concise explanation thanks will be dusting my td3 off tonight and jamming 👌☮

Thank you!
Great tutorial. Is there a way to change midi channel for the midi din input and out or is it default to channel 1. I see nothing in manual. Thanks.
The fact that such a lenthy video is needed for it, should tell you how much work you're about to put into just one sequence
What about MIDI inputs, the Trig button, IPPS buttons, PPQ buttons? I don’t understand how those work.
Its the mind of thing that you can use in the easy mode and the extreme mode
My light doesn't blink on any of the steps. It's just solid all the way through and it won't let me write patterns.
