Behringer TD-3 Analogue Bassline Synth Overview: Part 1! (Part 2 Coming Soon...)

[@tom-541]

I loved Dom giving us a bit of the history of the culture! Pretty new to me. I quite like these longer form things where Jack gets in an expert.

[@manuelgonzales6483]

Thanks you helped me learn how to use my TD-3

[@wilsonjaksetic6009]

I got into synths just around when Behringer released their Model D, so I have nothing but good opinions of Behringer

[@disarmsox]

Affordable synthing :) Making things more accessible to more people is a good thing.

[@samjones7534]

I'd rather have a behringer 303 than no 303 at all... I can't afford the original or some of the clones and the tb3/tb03 from Roland just didn't do it for me. Music isn't about what gear you have, more what you do with it 😁

[@FourTetTrack]

Gosh, Dom just blew my mind. Thanks for sharing this.

[@dominicshaw4140]

Thanks for saying so mate means the world to me

@@dominicshaw4140 I've always had a bit of love for the 303 and its drum machine siblings, but hearing you call Acid "the punk rock of these machines" finally tied it all together. I love all kinds of electronic music, but hearing the punk rock analogy finally described why I love the 303 and the 606 as a combo. Thanks to the two of you for putting this together. Watching you just kind of jam a random chord into the sequencer with a random timing sequence was an inspiration. I have an TD-3 at the house and an RD-6 on the way this weekend. I can't wait to jam on them.

[@boriscat1999]

The clap that Behringer added to the RD-6 is really a great addition.

[@nickhenning]

I shall provide the geek response as requested. The reason the TB-303's sound different is that, to cut costs, Roland used cheaper components with around 10% tolerance in variation of the actual value they were supposed to be. So, each TB-303 with be different to another +/- 10%.... ish.

[@thisguy2973]

When I hear “unreliable transistor”, my mind coming from the guitar world hears “germanium diode.” These were used in early fuzz pedals and provided a sound where they would be sensitive to temperature changes and humidity. They were switched to silicon diodes because they were less temperamental than germanium. Some companies make faithful recreations but at the end of the day, silicon is the way to go.

[@moneypits]

Great work, really good to watch. History, science, engineering and art all in one video. I'd love to see Dom take on an OP-Z to see what he'd produce as a blind test.

I’ve owned a TD3 for several months now- I’ve watched at least half a dozen how-to videos and I’ve used it several times on tracks. But THIS VIDEO is by far the best resource I’ve found regarding both the high-level spirit of the instrument AND the granular use of the knobs, sequencer, etc. I will revisit this often.

[@jennoscura2381]

I recently picked up a TD-3 and an RD-6. I have been having a lot of fun with them. I like the distortion on the TD-3. So sound isn't classic acid. But it's definitely acid style with distortion. I plan on picking up a distortion pedal to see how that sounds. For how cheap these units are; they are worth getting if you like this type of sound. I love that they come in different colors. I got both in purple. Fantastic bit of kit.

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

That fist bump looked like it hurt a bit :-P Regarding entering time, it's a note or tie (not quaver/triple, that's for changing between regular quarter notes or triplet timing and this is per pattern), and the last one is rest. Having the pitch separate from the timing is what makes it awesome.

I don’t like the distortion either. Give me a delay with ping-pong anytime. I’d also would’ve liked a knob to extend the gate to blur the notes. Bit of legato.

[@disarmsox]

I think distortion is massively overrated.

[@twatmunro9563]

I like distortion but the distortion on the TD-3 is anaemic.

[@MrMarcLaflamme]

Delay on the 303 is the bees knees.

[@Wagoo]

Personally I think the distortion circuit is a nice addition and suits the 303 sound, it's a Boss DS-1 basically. Nothing stopping you adding more pedals and such to the output **shrug** .. it's also enabled for the first half of this vid until it's brought up. Anyway let's see what this new version on Friday will be like

[@larry1754]

Thank you for posting this video! I just picked up the TD-3AM because I've been into psy/goa trance for years, have always wanted the real TB-303. Now I have the closest thing to it, with maybe even some improvements! My question to you is about changing key while playing, you make it look so easy. But It doesn't work for me, when I hold down the pitch mode key, it doesn't light up like yours does. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? One more thing if you don't mind, this is my first entry into making music like this, other than making some interesting tracks on my Roland MC-303 Groovebox! Remember that one, a precursor to these modern machines? But I need drums, would the RD-6 be my best option to the TD-3, for a newbie just learning these things? I'm thinking yes, and if you agree, I will go buy one! Btw, just subscribed, thanks for your help!!!

[@christopherscappaticci4571]

Awesome video! Dom, how do I enroll in your music school? For real...

[@ErikHawk]

Great video! Great history lesson! However, as best i can figure, there are no samples in the RD-6, it's all analog. Unless I heard that wrong, 31:55, he says that the claps and hats are samples, I don't think so. I think Roland did the samples on their TR-06, but Behringer went full analog, thank you Behringer.

[@rodmorrison47]

Roland only use samples for the authentic 909 cymbals/hats and 727/707 sounds on the dedicated drum machines (TR-8/8S, TR-6S). The MC grooveboxes use sampled 808/909 sounds, but the TRs - although digital - model the original synthesis without samples.

[@edwardpurkis6432]

There are a couple of explanations regarding the variable nature of the original Roland units. It was not necessarily cost cutting on Roland’s part, but the materials that they were made from made it difficult to obtain the tight tolerances needed for accurate pitch and timbre. Germanium transistors have a unique sound, but are not so consistent as silicone ones. Capacitors and resistors are graded for value in micro farads and Ohms after manufacture. More recently a small number of companies including Behringer itself have been remanufacturing the chips which are used in oscillators, filters and envelope generators as analogue synthesis has gained renewed popularity alongside digital technology. Behringer have produced several clones of old units - sometimes to justifiable criticism. More recently they have produced a knock off copy of the Arturia Keystep a current product which is unique and deservedly popular. That is unacceptable and is clearly stealing intellectual property.

The sequencer stinks. The quicksilver TB 303 solved this problem for me. The TD3 is great 303 though.

[@daemonelectricity]

I recommend just sequencing it through MIDI. Overlapping notes are tied with the firmware update and it uses velocity for the accent, so I don't think you'd miss much unless you just like the 303 workflow.

[@OttosTheName]

I do think (no personal experience) that the awkward sequencer is what made the 303 based genres what they are, so I appreciate them for that. But that's easy to say coming from somebody that doesn't have to use it lol

The TD3 is a crafty machine, I have had 2 of them. The price and sound makes you sell your TB303 but after a few weeks you realise it’s not as good as the original and you get what you pay for. The sound is ok but at the top frequencies it just screeches too much. There is nothing like the TB303. People have tried for 30 years to emulate it but it’s too special.
