There is a straight diode clipper? (MXR style)

[@OMNI_INFINITY]

Already wrote that general genre of synth groove box (with a drum machine) in Swift for native iPadOS, but sadly Apple banned it. Recently been pondering making a platform independent touchscreen synth with USB MIDI in (and possibly with analog filter cartridges) though, partially as an FU vengeance against tim cook at Apple so that plugins don't need Apple hassles anymore. After what Apple did to 32 bit plugins and to ELECTROBASE and DEFT MONK (apps and AU plugins I made), the community should say FU to Apple. Tried building some diode ladder PCB's from scratch and none of them functioned yet though, so. I should maybe skip the analog filter part.

An interesting method for the TB-3 is to set a one-step pattern, program a single note with slide, and let it run as a drone machine. Browse through the non-303 presets for some interesting results.

[@Kyoshi2012]

Going to try🎉

[@djkanyon]

Bro, the idea of refreshing the old reviews are golden. I have the same feelings about my tiny Donner B-1, at first i was like OK this is just basically the sequence player with some knobs... then i used it a synth, then as a midi-controller, then as a drum machine, the as a hardware sequencer, that as a sync shot hub, then as audio-in mixer... you know. Some thing can show you their better side only if you treat them well. Some doesn't (cough-cough Electribe Sampler). Thank you bro.

TB-3 is a great instrument. Never regretted buying it. I was surprised how far it can go beyond the generic TB-303 beeps'n'quacks that I initially intended to use it for.

[@xard64]

A good community created and maintained software can really raise the value of a hardware. The benefits include (but are not limited to): - You don't have to worry about subscription models - You don't have to worry about the manufacturer intentionally killing the support: the support will go on as long as there are any volunteers willing to pick up the maintenance - The software can provide functionality outside of the original scope intended by the manufacturer - The software does not lock you to a specific OS or specific version of an OS

The TB-3 is vastly underrated, I also owned two and really enjoyed them. Stupidly enough I sold them off, but I'm still often tempted to get one (or two?) back in my setup. I just hope this praise from you won't make the second hand prices soar!

No one mentions how super groovy and release-ready the “jam” is at 03:50 😮 It sounds so professional and aesthetic. Would love to have a breakdown of how you did this if you have the time for that!

[@Braunld]

is the word "aesthetic" an adjective ?

[@kaitlyn__L]

@@Braunldit has been among gen z and younger millennials for at least 5 years (short for aesthetically pleasing/captivating)

[@Braunld]

@@kaitlyn__L precisely why i asked. i noticed its use in this way (frequently) during the last several years. i usually interpret the word as it's defined (not as shorthand for an encapsulation of an idea) ... it just comes off as lazy / misuse (imo, of course)

[@kaitlyn__L]

@@Braunld tbh almost every language evolution occurs due to laziness/streamlining! That’s part of why I find etymology so fun. I’m just old enough that it doesn’t come naturally to me to actually say, but it doesn’t bother me to encounter. Perhaps because I witnessed the evolution, from “wow, the a e s t h e t i c is so strong” to just “aesthetic!”, yk? In some ways it’s a shorthand rather than a strict adjective-isation. So in summary, I don’t view it as altogether that different from when parents chided people for saying “cool bike!” rather than full sentences like “that’s such a cool bike you have there”. But of course you might not approve of that either :)

[@pilleater]

I can confirm. I have two TB-3s and produced alot of tracks with them. A decade later, Roland did something bold, and continuing to push music tech in a whole new way.

[@AudioPilz]

I've said it before and I'll say it again - I love my TB-3. It's my go-to any time I want to bring the acid live because it's simple and it sounds good. In fact, I was just using it a couple of hours ago because I'm putting a new live set together so it was a lovely surprise to see you cover it again today. And I still love the Return of the Jedi green and black colour scheme, too. Everyone should join the Dark Side. It's really cool.

It's wonderful that the community stuck it to the man and liberated the mad synth engine from its plasticky confines.

I absolutely love mine and have used it for live shows and productions for years,such variety and options. Love the scatter for having fun with unique variations to patterns in real time. It’s great. The ONLY function that I wish was an option is: Midi pattern change via midi program change numbers. And this is why: You can already save specific voices per pattern to be recalled when the pattern is played,it will change to whatever voice you saved with it,SO if there was a way to change the patterns via midi program messages per an external midi sequencer simply selecting different midi program changes,it would ABSOLUTELY be the perfect evolved digital acid (and further) machine. And it would truly utilize the machine to its fullest potential. I feel like this is the one function that fell through the cracks that would have made this unit unstoppable in so many more ways.. Everyone loves choosing patterns live,(including me) but to be able to change patterns through midi would have been the ultimate cake icing.. I’ll still use it as is,but I can only imagine how much more amazing this unit would have been with that function. It would serve every kind of music production genre,and I bet it could even help create a few more at extremely high speed changes of patterns during high tempo productions as well. (Super acid Gabber,anyone?😏)

Great input, thanks!!!

[@sydmclay]

Is is slow switching patterns on the unit itself?

@@sydmclay No it’s pretty quick if the screen is clean and working correctly,manually,and when using it as it’s own controller it’s best to take it out of midi clock sync for less midi hiccups.

“Honey we accidentally left the synth open”. I’ve wondered if this was the case because Roland’s new gear has a mysterious absence of sysex and therefor editor ability (MC101/707).

I am convinced that just about ANY synth can do incredible things if you just have the patience to really dive into it. You just have to quit lusting over gear, stay off yt and reverb and learn the damn thing in and out. They are pretty much all engineered by brilliant minds and you can 10x what any gear review vid can show you if you just stick with and LEARN the gear you have. Just remembee that limitations can breed innovation. If you think your gear is incapable, try to find another way. Don't just give up and move onto the next big fad.

I only knew of a couple of TB-3 editors and I will soon look and compare them to the ones I have installed. Your idea of having 2 TB-3s is very eye opening and I know that with the speed your video is being viewed that I better get in line for another one asap. Was there another model issued? I don’t remember seeing the step sequencer on mine even though I connected it within the past 2 weeks. Here are 2 ideas that came to me today while watching your video that you may wish to implement: Let your Patreon users know in advance the gear you will have upcoming episodes of before everyone else. 2.

[@fakshen1973]

Having a simple synth on stand-by is great. If you need bread and butter sounds that you can dial-in lightning fast, a synth like that is great to have in your workflow. You can achieve this via plug-ins. In fact, there are a lot of great "simple" and free VSTs out there that are only a couple of basic oscillators, filters, and maybe a little more under the hood for a bit of spice. Not every sound needs to be something epic. Plus, simpler sounds give more room in the mix to your "big" sounds or they can cut through a very dense mix when turned up.

[@AudioPilz]

Mine only has the pressure sensitivity working on the right half of the screen. Left doesn't react no matter how hard I press on it.

Nom bad gear review: Behringer deepmind. It's like someone took a Juno and cranked it all the way to 11

[@anthonybrett]

Never sell it. Love my Deepmind. In another 20 years they will be worth as much as a Juno 106.

Delightful. That first jam had me harking back to the days of The Grid's Rollercoaster.

When the ability to control the sound engine on these became a thing it was so awesome opened up a lot of doors. I almost always had mine synced to a korg ea1 or the sh-32 would have them playing the same lines then play with it in the mixer bouncing back and forth and often running the output of the tb03 through the filter of the ea1 with it playing its own sequence then the ea1 looping through a shorter filter sequence letting the output of the tbo3 through as ocs1 was able to create some really interesting stuff that way. Also really liked using these together with the og kaos pad and or the ef303.

I worked for the big R when this was released. Lent it out to someone I don’t remember years ago and miss it. Whoever you are, I want it back. 😢

I like your usage of the term “bread-and-butter” to describe the delay feature o the TB-3, AP. It occurs to me that every 303 emulation I’ve been con’s IOU’s of includes a delay feature. I was at least made aware of that precedent when I grabbed up the Propellarhead emulation.

Nice to see you continue to use the TB-3!

[@AudioPilz]

Thanks!!!

Thanks for sharing the Dope Robot TB-3 editor. I've been looking an editor that makes programming the TB-3 easier. The only other TB-3 editor I heard about was developed a long time ago and is no longer available

[@twoeyesmeetredux]

I just bought one of these from a local guy because I’ve been seeing them get put to such good use in your videos, can’t wait to explore this little beast.

😀😀😀

Everyone will want one now. I love my TB-3 - it is a huge amount of fun and so easy to get great sounds out of it. It’s as useful for both an experienced music producer and a complete beginner and there aren’t many synths u can say that about.

[@AudioPilz]

Agreed!!!

[@SamiJumppanen]

Thank you! Have to explore a bit :)

[@illegalLettuce]

FIRST of all I love your vids!! Very funny and also informative! I recently bought a TB-3 AND a TR-8 at a ridiculously low price online. The TB3 blew my mind! To me it sounds amazing and of COURSE the first thing I did was program DA FUNK and mangle the knobs! I had ZERO IDEA there was an editor!!! Im going to definitely check that out! THANK YOU for all the cool videos! SUBSCRIBED

[@AudioPilz]

Thank you so much!!!

[@chrisnightingale5529]

I liked how easy it was to program sequences - but the sounds were a bit limited if you didn’t want 303 style sounds - but on the bright side you could use it control other midi gear (minus the slide stuff)

[@AudioPilz]

Agreed!!!

[@manuelclayseed]

We need your full jams on a playlist :)

[@IASteurer]

Love the LED block aesthetic. Kinda want one to match my KP3+. Still figuring out the Kaoss pad in band jams but they like the looping spooky sound ambience. Do you know of any similarly styled step-sequency things to use for sending midi loops to other synths? I want more light up things but think I really need to get a Polyend or MPC or Launchpad to sequence my synths w/out computer

[@hdslave]

it's basically a monophonic novation V/K station with no knobs and 303 sequencer. If u want this sort of synth engine but with hands on control, polyphony, not locked to the 303 sequencer, want keys, and for the same price, check out novation V/K station

[@AudioPilz]

Great idea, thanks!!!

[@jackdrizzleshizzle4389]

After months searching for a TB-3 on the used (Dutch) 2nd hand market, I finally found one today for a fairly reasonable price. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

[@dumafuji]

Cool editors. Damn. I want one now.

[@AudioPilz]

Much recommended!!!

[@TokeStorm024]

Ever since you aired this video, the used prices for the TB-3 has skyrocketed! I’ve been keeping tabs on the sales of the TB-3 on Reverb (and elsewhere) and have noticed a correlation between your video and the increased demand and value of the TB-3. I’m curious as to if the TB-3 will follow suit with the history of the TB-303, becoming just as highly sought-after over time. One seller in particular is definitely capitalizing on the rarity of the TB-3 with an asking price of $2,587.67. Just, wow! The TB-3 is another example of a badass, overlooked Roland synth that really flew under the radar. It’s quite fascinating to observe this realization happening in real-time.

[@AudioPilz]

I just got a third one;)

[@TokeStorm024]

@@AudioPilz Sweet😁🤙 Can’t wait to see you do a jam with all three. That’ll be great!
