Behringer -TD3 How to use the Track Mode. Combine Patterns

[@romarozhkov]

U cant imagine how much information u give. I ve think my td is broken, but u cleared it all! Thank u man!

[@303Guy]

That's great to hear.

[@TheTimontube]

@@303Guy yeahhh! thanks from me 2!! I was always allready in love with tb-303... (thinking I allready knew everyting about it) but i never owned one... Now time (2023), I have a real TD-3... and to be honest.... way more dificult program- flow that i would imagine :S, but because of your YTvids easy like tie shoelaces for me now! ;P

[@Vincefromsin]

Just press Function in Track mode and it will indicates what BAR you are. Press Function + Clear and it tells you the last BAR in your Track. You can even start anywhere in the Track by pressing Function and the Selector key (up to 250).

[@romkehoogwaerts]

do you know if there's a way to clear an entire track? didnt see it mentioned in the vid

[@monnimonnickendam7289]

press clear in write mode till it beeps - should play nothing @@romkehoogwaerts

[@reardondearborn]

Well the clear track function didn't work (no beep),but i figured out how to write with this tutorial. Thanks

[@reversedflow]

Awesome walk through! For anyone using the A/B sections, you would simply select A or B before tapping WRITE/NEXT.

[@lukejessop4617]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial mate... You've just cured a massive headache... Thank you...

[@aidangarvey7049]

I was having trouble doing this myself, found this tutorial, played my failed attempt again without changing anything and now it magically works lmao. I can see why people joke about how frustrating this thing is.

[@GFantastic]

Thanks for the video. The manual covers all this in just a couple of brief sentences that seem to miss out a couple of important keypresses. Very helpful!

[@patansy3455]

I love this little machine I have two and like to polysymphany them. I had not learned this yet. Tracking out on track mode. This is really nice to know

[@benbrophy6905]

This is so helpful. I’m going to buy one today and your videos have helped inspire me. Keep up the great work. Many thanks

[@fillipoenzagi2731]

Just basically keep doing that. Tap tap tap tap tap tap. ... loving the tutorials with a slice of home.

[@tompallant6803]

Thanks so much! Track mode has been driving me crazy!

[@303Guy]

Great to hear!

[@Bowwylad]

thanks so much, had to watch this twice in between go's. Great stuff ma dude. Thanks for the help

[@303Guy]

Even I watch it to recap how its done

[@Bowwylad]

@@303Guy dude im watching it again 2 years later lol :) 99.9% of td-3 have never used this feature, prove me wrong :) the pitch change record thanks so much for that! really gonna open that unit up!

[@bigkik]

Thanks a lot ! I never took time to understand how track mode works and damn ; it's pretty powerfull ! I am currently working with my td-3 and it opens so many possibilities !

[@methodos100]

I just bought a TD-3, so thanks for your videos!!

[@kcjcusbc5004]

how to delete the whole track and have it back at the start? it just keeps adding onto the already existing track

[@cruepprich]

This finally helped me understand! Thanks! One question: How to you switch between Pattern play and Track play without stopping?

[@RooftopKoreansMusic]

One of my TD-3s doesn't always program right when I have it controlled by a RD-6. Today I was trying to make a pattern with only two notes, on the 1 and on the 8; the 8 being a higher octave and accented... only nothing added to the 8 after all those rests would work even though I programmed it multiple times and checked to see the modifications were there many times over. Maybe I need to do a factory reset?

[@CmdrMic]

Great! Thanks mate. This machine is seriously DOPE!!!

[@dpinskey]

Did you figure out how many patterns you can string together?

[@stevie-jones-music]

Nice one! This is very helpful 🎹

[@303Guy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@LlewynDaviesTheThird]

Thanks. Really clear explanation

[@patansy3455]

This is awesome. So helpful !!!

[@303Guy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@razethestray]

I'm trying to chain patters together into tracks, but I can't figure out how many patterns is the maximum 1 track can hold. It seems to go above 64 patterns, like maybe 68, and then starts doing a specific string of tones to demonstrate that it's hit it's limit I guess. Do you know actually how many patterns you can get into one track?

[@Bowwylad]

with a pen and paper involved you can write full songs amazing|!!!!

[@cresshead]

64 measures per song x 7 songs = 256 measures total each song can access up to16 patterns to write that track you can link 'tracks' to create longer than 64 measure songs.

[@Ryanez93]

Ahhh, the comment I was looking for, thank you for answering this question!

[@pfmerc10]

Brilliant vids, helped me out so much,,liked and subbed,,cheers Paul.

[@postmortem3973]

Many thanks man, great explanation!

[@303Guy]

Glad it helped!

[@acidheadtom4165]

Thanks for tutorials. 🙏👍🙏👍

[@303Guy]

Glad you like them!

[@dpinskey]

Wondering if you can write in timing and tempo changes on tracks like the way you recorded the pitch changes

[@ridgerider7402]

Thankyou man 🙏 Beast of a tutorial got me the hang of tracks 👌

[@pizio73]

hi, is possibile play more patterns together?

[@dillonyakub3428]

Thanks for the Tutorial 🎶😎🎶

[@DEEP_PRACTICE]

Nice! Thank-you! 🙏🏻

[@Wk193]

Just bought a second hand Td3. Sound is only coming out of one headphone and is not very loud. Did I get a dud?

[@bobbythompson4268]

How can you ask people to like the video before it even starts?

[@schoovaertssimon7904]

When you say 'you select the track you want' do you mean 'the pattern you want'?

[@davidbetts2980]

Thanks for that, Works a treat 👍

[@guillermorayabatanero6623]

Nice one! I learned with this video for sure! Another question, I thought that the DEL and INS functions had use with this write mode, What the purposse of that buttons ? I tried but I have no doc about them. Thanks!

[@303Guy]

Could be another secret to unlock

[@reardondearborn]

You can insert and delete sequences from your track. The directions are in the manual.

[@djkanyon]

What killed me is that to SAVE your song you have to press CLEAR... dunno bro i bet them japanese dudes was dying of laughter programming this.

[@303Guy]

Ha ha ha it's true it's like the X button on PlayStation in Japan it means cancel and circle is accept.

[@djkanyon]

@@303Guy yup!

[@KeithKemp]

Great video! How do you delete or clear an "assembled" track?

[@303Guy]

I think it’s explained at the start

[@citizenoftheverse4653]

Nice to know! Thank you very much ;-)

Where can I get the Sponge Bob edition? EPIC!

@@303Guy no one mentions the damn clear stuff when making tutorials. Thanks for explaining it more in depth.

[@303Guy]

@@christopheronald Here is where i learned most of this - cdn.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/TB-303_OM.pdf

[@Bowwylad]

did anyone ever find out maximum number of patterns you can string together?

[@303Guy]

Apparently it's 16 patterns can be chained

[@brokemanmusic2587]

Can you record different track tempo

[@80122]

Hey in case of BPM clear no, halftime yes by doing the patterns so, double time only if master is double time and you do everything in 1/2 to be in equal to 1/4 again, then you have the headroom for double time, triplets nes because unreliable to program but possible, polymetrics yes e.g. 12/16 and 16/16 etc., but best is, if you buy a Doepfer A-160-2 Clock Divider II (needs an input from a master clock, your drummachine mostly, or a midiclock in which cas you can separately trigger your drummachine also differently) then use the sync in of your TD3, you can divide or multiply the clock of 4/4 usually by even, uneven numbers or even prim numbers, which the TD3 receives as master clock. This must be done patternwise or for longer patterns in a track. That is the best and easiest way to go, but has to be operated live if you wanna mix times. Polyrythm pure and tight AF. I would not see write to use for a whole songs bassline, but rather for longer scenes combined from A-B Bank repertoire respectively, 7 tracks is a bit too less. If you put two different times from the clock divider into an AB switch you may automate this for tracks by a third device e.g. trigger AB-Switch after 36 bars or so.

I will when I get my Behringer td-3 Mo

[@tonywharton5220]

@@303Guy Thanks 👍

[@djzonque4770]

That TD3 MO is really worth buying. Dope piece of equipment

[@carnmarth334]

This does not explain whether, after adding a pattern onto a track, you have to wait for that pattern to play all the way through its note sequence before you enter the next pattern onto the track. The (shit) manual doesn't explain this either.

[@d.3977]

Thank you

[@303Guy]

You're welcome

Hi & thank you very much! So I use Track mode, but I can't do this on the one hand: -A erase a Pattern -A erase All Patterns (at once if possible?) I hope to find the answer here! good music to all!

Sweeeeet

[@lwpweb]

you will say, you selet the pattern.

[@sacredgeometry]

I love how everyone is covering up the behringer logo. It really is awful. So awful that I (someone who is awful at logo design) could have made them a better one. I just removed it, it looks much better without.

[@asktoby]

With acetone?

[@sacredgeometry]

@@asktoby yep

[@asktoby]

@@sacredgeometry Warning: I just tried this on my black TD-3 and it's lifted the metallic grey paint off as well as the logo, making the unit look very ugly. I guess you had a different model TD-3 that wasn't painted.

[@sacredgeometry]

@@asktoby Nope I have the metallic grey one too.Sorry had I known you were going to try it I would have told you to be careful for that reason. It's acetone it melts plastics which is why the plastic label comes off. I would have advised masking or using very little, working quickly and making sure to wipe it off as soon as possible.
