Behringer Crave Tutorial on Creating Acid 303 Sounds

Tutorial on creating an Acid sounding patch on the Behringer Crave. Here we go through the controls that a TB-303 or TD-3 has and show how these can be duplicated on the Crave. We also show how some of the limitations of the Crave that would seem to make creating an Acid style patch can be worked around using the assign output and the VCMix control.

[@RedCloudServices]

few years old but as new Crave owner enjoy your videos sir 😊

[@DocBolus]

Thanks. Nice to see it's still useful. I don't have as much time to make videos but they still appear from time to time so I hope to see you again.

[@PAAmsterdam]

You just saved me 250eur from buying a TB-03 and dusting my crave. Thanks!

[@DocBolus]

More than happy to help. It does a pretty good job and if you have a distortion pedal too, job done.!!

[@MoeShinola1]

Great lesson! I just brought home a Crave.

[@DocBolus]

Glad you found it helpful. The Crave is a lovely little synth and has some surprisingly flexible abilities.

[@cruepprich]

I've been trying to get that sound. Thanks for this. 👍

[@DocBolus]

No worries, glad I could be helpful

[@stealthcopter7398]

Great tutorial 👍 I'll have a look how my TD-3 might benefit from the sound colors&shapes the Crave produces if they play together. I like those limited & simple analog synths (especially of Behringer) so much. They are huge fun & they help at least me to learn more about synthesis & making music with limited possibilities which I think is great learning experience.

[@DocBolus]

Yeah they make a good pair the Crave and TD-3. This track here.. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jprFiH-Kaduoatk Was made with these two and my SU-200

[@q_yrko9067]

Very original tutorial! The Crave is a very basic but interesting synth (interesting because basic!) and that's very cool how you make it acid. That's a patch guide that can be used on many other synths indeed!

[@DocBolus]

Cheers man, I like to think I show why something works so that people understand what's going on, not just the mechanics of how to do something. If you understand something then as you say it can be applied to other synths. The assign output can be a really useful tool on the Crave.

[@gabesudholt]

Excellent

[@DocBolus]

Glad you found it useful

[@skywatchernorth]

The step sequencing echo you mention at the end is fixed in a firmware update. It'# does change the config menu layout (using the LEDs to navigate) and isn't very well documented though...

[@DocBolus]

Thanks someone did mention it and I mean to get round to updating it at some point, but I don't use it as much as I should so haven't got there yet.

[@lucacycles8623]

Nice one Doc, this is helpful!

[@DocBolus]

Good, I try and make these tutorials quite simple and useful and explain a bit about why things work, not just do this and then that. If you understand why things work you can apply it to other bits of kit.

[@maxmatson1578]

Awesome video Doc!👍 I love that you showed how to make the "Crave" sound like a "303". I always wonder that since I heard it had "accent" in it sequencer. Speaking of which? I just got my "Behringer td-3" in (red) last week and I've made 2 tracks so far with it. I don't know if I told you yet? But I also got the Korg "volca drum" I'm still a bit off to master it but I'm liking what I do with it keep up the great videos brother, I'll keep watching them!✌

[@DocBolus]

Appreciated mate. Yeah the TD-3 is a great bit of kit, I love the random sequence generate function for doing live stuff. I still haven't got a volca of any type yet, but I will one day. I'll keep the videos coming, no need to worry, I need the practice

[@turfoid7899]

new subbed

[@DocBolus]

Thanks man, glad you liked it. Don't forget to share.

[@YOUrDEAlerwiThHell]

Can you make the accent stronger (/less) ?

[@DocBolus]

No as far as I can recall the accent is either on or off the way to give it more emphasis is using the patching trick, outputting the assign through the VC mix like I show at the end of the video.

[@YOUrDEAlerwiThHell]

@@DocBolus ah right awesome thanks agian! :))
