Behringer TD-3: Arpeggiator? Here it is - mesmerizing …

@@PeteMidi as soon as they announced the td3mo i put my name on the list 3 months after buy the td3

[@martinkaiser5263]

I found a very simple solution for creating lovely Arps with the TD-3. If you use Logic Pro you can connect the TD-3 as a "External Instrument" inside Logic. Then set in the TD-3 the clock "internal". Now you can load in Logic a MIDIFX ( i use XFER Cthulhu) in the TD-3 instrument. And you can play beautiful Arps with the TD-3. If there is interest in this solution i will try to make a video (never did one before) Sorry Pete dont want to hijack your thread

[@efoildelights4662]

not excactly the same thing here. but yes you can do that and use max4live mono sequencer for example in ableton

[@a.a486]

hello Martin . do the video please :)

I don't have the TD3 yet (ordering soon), but I use Logic and am interested in this solution, please. A video would be great!

Hi Pete, I came across this video whilst searching for TD-3. Really rather good and has inspired me to use the arpigiator on my Arturia Keystep to drive my TD-3. It's an easy function to use, so hopefully the tunrs wibe almost as satisfying as yours. Brian

[@PeteMidi]

Thanks for the nice feedback! 😊

[@ianmacauley4996]

Really Brilliant, Pete. Well Done! Entertaining talk-through, enjoyable video action - and Mesmerizing Arpeggios! Floated straight back to TD Phaedra & Rubycon, thru late 90s trance, and landed somewhere leftfield of today. You're very inspiring, Mate! Liked & subbed. .... Time to stretch my keystep ...

What a brilliant idea, and what a beautiful result.

[@seandunlevy5289]

Great video. Right now I am converting SNES audio boards (64Kbytes of RAM but 16-bit samples are stored as 4-bit ADPCM) because they support upto 8 channels and the option of any combination of channels through the FIR filter so: dft([a(0), a(1), a(2), a(3), a(4), a(5), a(6), a(7)]) = [A(0), A(1), A(2), A(3), A(4), A(3)*, A(2)*, A(1)*] I think Nintendo give some examples: 7F 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - echo 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 18 - Eliminates 4, 8, 12 and 16 kHz. 0C 2B 2B 2B 28 FF F8 F9 - Band-stop between 6 kHz and 8.5 kHz (-15 dB). Smooth Low-pass cut-off at 13 kHz (-18 dB). 01 02 04 08 10 20 40 80 - high-pass filter 00 00 00 40 00 28 00 FE - notch filter with 8KHz at it's centre 34 33 00 D9 E5 01 FC EB - Ripples at 11 kHz ~ 13 kHz, 15 kHz ~ 16 kHz. But what the researchers have not made plain is that the 8-bit values are signed. For what it's worth, the SNES has a seperate daughter-board for audio. It has 64Kbytes of it's own memory, an SPC700 processor running at 1.024MHz and powerful DMA. I need to look much further but it seems very likely that the 8 FIR filters represent not consecutive samples but rather 64 or 128 samples apart and so knowing this, the cunning programmer can update the FIR setting so that one effect merges into another without having to suspend play. AFAIK the boards cost $20 but programming would require either a system with multiple parallel ports (kind of unlikely) or someone better than me at USB 2.0 communications so that: www.raphnet.net/electronique/snes_apu/APU_Interface.png The address can be set & held (or more specifically, increased after every write) and the 8 (4 x 2-bit) data lines are sent serials (again set and hold). I'm damned sure I can get the thing working on a PC but it isn't much use if it isn't possible to make hundreds or thousands of them that are cheap and reliable. I would be interested to know if Pete Midi is old enough to remember SNES games. In fact, when I worked for Core Design, I wrote a Master System, Megadrive, PC, NES, Game Gear, Gameboy, MegaCD & 32X music/SFX driver but because we only ever did 2 SNES titles, it wasn't seen as worthwhile to produce a sound drive. I know that C64 chips are now worth a fortune but how many broken SNES's are lying around with perfectly fine sound cards? To TEST them, a parallel port solution is acceptable but as for converting ti USB, no idea.

[@Syncopator]

If you'd like to crank it up a notch, try using odd-length sequences. Example: - create a bass line on your primary sequencer in 5/8 or 7/8. - create a modulating arpeggiator in 3/8, made up of intervals taken from an appropriate chord, transposed up an octave such as 12, 16, 19, 21, 24 steps, etc. - run both sequences at the same BPM, and so that note changes are in sync. - listen to both the original bass line plus the modulated line as a complex melody that will be in key against the bassline. - Profit! The resultant melody sequence will be either 15 or 21 notes in length (5 or 7 * 3). Sequence lengths that are prime numbers often work best, as ones that are not may repeat a little too often. I've gotten some amazing results-- even tried a bass sequence of 31 16th notes (31/16?) against a 3/16 & 5/16 modulation which can produce an interesting melody of up to 155 notes before it repeats (though finding a workable 31 note bassline can be a challenge). This is a composition technique first described by Joseph Schillinger in the 1930s.

[@sndrcve]

Syncopator would love to see a video demonstrating this 🙂

[@THESYNTHBARD]

Great video Pete! Wow, Behringer really has a thing about over selling the arppegiation capabilities of their synths. They market the Pro 1 as having 3 patterns on their website. In reality it only has Up and Up/Down. Technically you can toggle it to OFF but, it seems cheap to consider that an arpeggiation mode.

[@PeteMidi]

Thanks a lot! Yes, the Behringer product descriptions are really Interesting... 😉

[@lit2021]

Well, Pro-1 is the recreation of the Sequential circuits Pro One, so of course it has only two modes. I have the Pro-1, but I rarely ever use the built in sequencer and arpeggiator, since I have that in the Keystep.

[@giles3000]

Wow! What a beautiful journey those chord changes take u on ! NICE

[@PeteMidi]

Thanks a lot! 😊

[@bobbymobetta]

I've had a RD-8 about 6 months and a TD-3 about 3 months. While I've had some pretty good success pulling badass sounds from the TD-3 with a canyon delay (though any delay will help it shine) and a phaser, your device sounds like exACTly what I WANT my TD-3 to sound like all the time. It's truly the missing circuit for the TD-3 I honestly think you could try and put together a standalone box as an add-on for 303's. Really appreciate all your videos man, you very much know how to nail down the particulars of a thing and speak to what matters.

Great music - added to my "Musical Inspiration" playlist.

[@PeteMidi]

Thanks a lot! 😊

[@PerfectlyNormalHumans]

This is clever. I have experimented with a similar implementation that only requires a single TD3. Basically I create the patterns in the TD3 sequencer, then I record them as MIDI clips into Ableton. Then I use the MIDI scale filter to conform the pitches to a scale of my choosing. Then I can use the MIDI clips plus filter to control the TD3.

[@PeteMidi]

Thanks for the feedback!

[@Uthelion]

Today i got my td-3. I am using the arturia keystep to control the td-3. The keystep also has a sequenz- and arpeggiator function. Works good for me and its a quick setup.

You can do all of those things in synth tribe, it's your firm ware updater and it's got some other functionalities.. You can also load a library of patterns. It is a full interface that lets you control the nuances on the unit.. It's not perfect yet but it's not buggy and it's free.

Thank you so much for this video! I am not a dj, producer, just a home guy who has been into spy/goa trance for the last 20 years or so. Love the TB-303, so just bought the TD-3 to play with. Your video here totally blew my mind as to what a couple TD-3's could do! I have to ask, you were using the blue TD-3 for a basic background line, then using the red one for the enhancements? Also, what is that little keyboard thing u were using to change keys, I assume on the red TD-3? I don't know much about this stuff, still learning, but ABSOLUTELY LOVE what u did in this video!!!

[@PeteMidi]

Thank you so much! 😊 In my arpeggiator approach one td-3 plays the basic pattern, the other, in principle plays the same but with different notes given by the little keyboard. The note transform is done by a python script but can also been done by blokas midihub or mozaic for ios or... I tried to explain this a bit in a successive video.
