Behringer TD-3 Modded Out - Tutorial

[@Hubson55]

Accent Sweep switch description is very ambiguous... position 2 muffles sweeps (very practical), 0 and 1 change the direction of filter sweeps: lower to higher(going up) and higher to lower(goin down) freqs, you can check it on spectrum analyzer in any DAW

[@tragmadat]

that square did it to me

[@d-fens2999]

Thank you so much for getting me started!! I have the silver one.. I have the RD-6 too Never thought I would own these in my life! Thanks so much😊

[@optoproductions]

You're welcome! I love the RD6 as well, the perfect pair for Acid jams 😃

[@harrietHHH]

What a great demo! So clear and helpful. Thank you!

[@maikvanrossum]

Thanks for this great overview and tutorial 🙏🏻 really got me started quickly 😊 👍🏻 Also got myself the Bassliner app for iOS / ipadOS / macOS M1 (Android?). Happy accidents will more likely occur on the hardware, but the app makes realtime programming the onboard sequencer AND managing / backup patterns sooooo much easier and fun! 👌🏻 Not cheap, but great!

[@optoproductions]

Ah that's great, good tip 👍

[@Bowwylad]

brilliant thanks a million brother!

[@Decoy303]

I was hoping to see you talk about the red accent button and why you have to hold it down to keep it engaged and why they didn't make it like the sub oscillator button where once it's pressed it stays engaged until you punch it in again. I feel like this is a big let down in its production and I'm looking to find a means to modify this button to act just like the sub oscillator.

[@optoproductions]

Well it is an accent do that implies it to be a temporary action. You could open it up and replace it with a latching switch. I wouldn't expect any proprietary parts so finding a replacement wouldn't be that hard I guess.

[@Osckob]

Some tapes do the trick 👊

[@TheMrMaesroel]

Are there any reviews on how to use the filter in? Etc.

[@optoproductions]

Not that I know of, but I'll make a video about it soon 😃

[@dctrqworldwide]

thanks man!🙃

[@placebodomingo3277]

Great demo! It seems like keeping a healthy level of “random” in your mindset is the way to go when learning this thing.

[@optoproductions]

Definitely don't expect to have precise control over this thing 😁

[@dillonyakub3428]

Excellent Tutorial Thank- you 🎶😎🎶

[@MarkGardner66Bonnie]

Wow... thank you so much for sharing this info. I just bought one and this is really helpful info... also bought the RD-6 to accompany this unit...just subscribed...

[@nexuzeb79]

Can't wait to see this on context with your modular rig... Excellent walkthrough :)

[@jasonhale9406]

Best tutorial I've watched on the TD-3 so far! Thanks heaps :)

[@lwpweb]

subtle is in reality it is not working.

[@adamjlipper]

Fantastic overview. Thanks!

[@BPEMETO]

Thank you for the nice video! : ) I'm new to analog synths, but I really want to start from somewhere ... can you recommend which two Behringer synths to get ? May be one of them must be the Crave?

[@optoproductions]

It depends a bit on the genre, but I would recommend a polysynth for chords like the Pro 800. The crave is cool, but I would have a look at the Kobol expander too as that provides you with a bit more sound design options.

[@BPEMETO]

​@@optoproductions I plan to use them mainly without external keyboard. : )

[@optoproductions]

@@BPEMETO ah good point, that limits your options a whole lot. In that case something with a sequencer is a must. I would just check out some demo's and figure out the ones that work for your style, and if you can visite some stores to get some hands-on experience.

[@BPEMETO]

@@optoproductions Thank you for the advise! From what I've seen in youtube, I really like the Crave, the Edge, the TD-3-MO, Neutron and RD-6 . The thing I've just realized is that I would need a sound mixer if I want to use all of them together. : ) And I was wondering if they can send audio output via the USB out on the back? So instead of connecting them to a mixer I can connect them to a USB hub and the PC and mix the sound in a software?

[@optoproductions]

@@BPEMETO unfortunately those USB ports are only for MIDI and not for audio. So you will need a mixer or a bigger audio interface, that's true.

[@Djfozzyd]

Thank u so much really going to help

[@Musicas_e_videos_de_Capoeira]

it was really helpful! tnx!

[@theonlygifmusic]

lekker bezig!

[@optoproductions]

Thanks 😀

The behringer devil fish

[@KPMLStfRM]

I love this instrument i got mine last year ago and it cranks along side my RD8. Nasty sounds to be had. It takes a minute but once you figure it out it's on.

[@optoproductions]

I love it too, the RD8 and 9 are on my wishlist too 😃

[@sleepisoptional]

nice. cant wait to see what you do with the patch points

[@Numptee86]

THANK YOU!!! Just bought mine yesterday with a rudimentary understanding, but this video is brilliant for the finer points! Interestingly, my volume pot has a bit of scratchiness to it out of the box...not like it's something you touch anyway but a bit of a bummer! Otherwise, what a great bit of kit!! Subscribed, really liking what I've seen on your channel so far

[@optoproductions]

Awesome, great to hear! 👍😃 Maybe if you wiggle the volume pot the scratchiness goes away, there might be some dust in it (altough there shouldn't be 🤔)

[@lwpweb]

my td-3 sounds way better, more clear...

[@optoproductions]

They each have their own character, so get them both 😉

[@gingerlady11]

Thank you sooooo much for a very clear well presented tutorial helped me alot just got it myself so please continue 😆

[@optoproductions]

Great to hear that 😁 If you have any questions just let me know 👍

[@davidgoode7416]

Awesome!!!

[@MistahJuicyBoy]

Noticing you don't have the corner red case LEDs. Did you find a way to turn those off or just block them?

[@optoproductions]

Oh no, I still got those, but you can't really see them from this point of view. I think these are for the overdrive circuit, so it would be hard to turn them off.

[@MistahJuicyBoy]

@@optoproductions ahhh I see! Yeah I think I'm going to try just taping them over hahah

[@saorcid5326]

Thanks very much have mine 2 months and only got to use it a few times. Great fun great sounds. Thanks for the tutorial always something new to learn. Look forward to the CV video as I have a few other semi modular gear from behringer I use. One other thing for 250 euro against 5000 for a devilfish you can't go wrong

[@optoproductions]

Yeah the originals are insanely overpriced I really like what Behringer is doing. I wouldn't take an original to the stage too. 😃

[@saorcid5326]

@@optoproductions no it's just too much to ask for a 25 yr old small modified synth. I love it's sound but age is just too much against it when buying fingers crossed from another part of the world

[@torus6083]

I wish they had made the Aceent button so that it you don't need to keep your finger on it.

[@optoproductions]

Yeah good point

[@2beer_OR_NOT_2beer]

For me it’s just an extra push to accented notes. Not bad if you play live but not necessarily needed. Mostly ignored btw
