Behringer TD3 MO Patching Tutorial

[@DJ_312]

SYNC @5:49 If you use a TRS cable the Start/Stop signal will be sent and you don't have to press start manually on the TD-3. Great video. I've learned a lot.

[@optoproductions]

Yup, thanks for the tip, didn't know this at the time

[@ThinkerThunker]

Behringer owes you on this one. Cheers!

[@Hubson555]

Thank you! At last I found video with examples of using patches in TD-3 MO! :D

[@WasAC]

Owners manual should include a link to this video. Thanks man!

[@VoodooGear]

Dankjewel! You are the first I see who goes deep into explaining the patchbay 🎉

[@RichPurps]

Danke for this brilliant tutorial into the possibilities of this cheap awesome synth. So much to take in and explore.

[@leshymuzik]

So much knowledge, Spot on video 💯 thank you 🙏

[@DJ_312]

Excellent video. Thank you!

[@reardondearborn]

Cool video, thanks!

[@ph911]

Hey! Thank you for this video! Helpful! Btw why you press the function button to select the sequencer mode? You can press just two buttons on the right side (Back+Tap) without function button.

[@optoproductions]

Thanks, ah didn't know that, thanks for the tip 👍

[@Hammer_Marvel_Ham]

Thank you for this!

[@davidgoode7416]

Great video, thanks

[@xrabbz2010]

Great video thanks for this! Am i correct in saying i can plug the headphone out of my audio interface into the filter in and use the filter, resonance and distortion on the 3mo for any sound inside ableton? The 3mo will be our first hardware synth and we are unsure on this

[@optoproductions]

You could, but the output would be very quiet. A line output would be better.

[@xrabbz2010]

@optoproductions thank you for the reply! Unfortunately my volt only has 2 like outs that go to the speakers. Man I miss my apollo 😫

[@optoproductions]

@@xrabbz2010 ah I get it, cranking the level is the way then 😃

@@optoproductions now i have it... I see how low the level is! Time for a mixer!

[@sanskargupta9794]

Ahhh this video was really cool!! Ive got a volca beats and td3mo...how can i get started making a live jam (that i can possibly save and record in abelton ot elsewhere) using both the bassline and the drum machine, maybe even layer vocals and melodies on top!

[@optoproductions]

I would say just try it out, you'll figure it out along the way, and record your jams while learning, you might come across some gems. There's no right or wrong way really 😀

[@sanskargupta9794]

@@optoproductions ah I did not mean making the music itself, I was more keen to know about connecting/routing the devices, assuming I'd need to worry about a DAW, MIDI and patch cables etc

[@optoproductions]

@@sanskargupta9794 I use MIDI to sync all my devices, USB and Sync are also useful, I can't tell you how to connect everything that's up to you 😃

[@giantmonsterman]

Have you tried patching with 2 TD3s? I'm gonna try it later tonight and hopefully its cool

[@optoproductions]

I haven't but I bet it's fun 😀

[@harleydobbs8882]

Thanks man!

[@vicsol75]

Thanks!

[@madebypete]

great video thanks! Do you know if the CV input is 1V per octave? I read in the Sound On Sound review that you would only cover 2 octaves with the CV input.

[@optoproductions]

It is 1v per octave, the range isn't huge but it should be more than 2 octaves. I'd need to check it to be sure though

[@madebypete]

@@optoproductions Great thanks. Pls let me know regarding the octave range if you get a chance to check 🙂

[@hollownation]

Can you run the internal sequencer but gate it externally for instance from a korg sq1 this could be a great way to create variations on a sequence

[@optoproductions]

Yeah I don't see why not, patching the gate input wouldn't interfere with the sequencer, but I'd have to try it to be 100% sure. I'll make a short about it next week. 👍

[@hollownation]

@@optoproductions thanks for the reply

[@madcowmoods3089]

But why does the sync in NOT just sync the RD-6 with the TD-3? What was it doing in this video? It SHOULD play the drum machine and the bassline at the same time and tempo

[@optoproductions]

With a TRS cable you can, but not with a TS cable.

[@lGxtmXl]

Stupid question but what cables do you need for patches? 3.5 TRS ?

[@optoproductions]

No ts in most cases, except for sync, which has a separate transport wire.

[@dictabeat]

You wouldn't happen to have a video like this but on the Behringer Crave would you?

[@optoproductions]

Nope 🫣

[@dictabeat]

@optoproductions no worries. I just like youe style and way of presenting easy to follow. Keep up the good work

[@redirishmanxlt]

So when sending out gate and CV it doesn't also send the slide? @7:02

[@optoproductions]

Slide is part of CV, in this example I had a short gate on the Eurorack module so you couldn't really hear it.

[@redirishmanxlt]

@@optoproductions That's what I was thinking, I did notice the decay was very short on the other synth. Cool, thanks for getting back to me so quickly! Great video!

[@philipguillaume4320]

Great video...one thing I'm not sure though. Does the CV Output send the slides or not? Would be a shame, if you cant make the typical acid lines on other gear via the TD-3 Sequencer. The way it sounded with the Erica VCO, there where no slides. Could you confirm that?

[@optoproductions]

Yes, that definitely works, just confirmed it!

[@philipguillaume4320]

@@optoproductions thx mate...just weird that the Erica VCO didnt slide, where as when you raised the volume on the TD again to compare them, the TD clearly slided.

[@optoproductions]

@@philipguillaume4320 maybe the decay was too short to notice it properly 👍

[@witte2702]

are you patching BOTH the CV and Gate out from beatstep into the TD-3-MO @ 5mins? I assume to Beatstep Shift+Encoders(1 2 3) is what you are controlling gate & slide (legato) with ?? thanks

[@optoproductions]

That's right!

[@witte2702]

@@optoproductions thx. I have the beatstep (non-pro) and a TD3-MO. Do you give a consideration for the CV/Gate voltage? IIRC the ‘pro’ beatstep voltages can be changed in arturia’s software but just the stock voltage levels are available for the non-pro Beatstep. The Specs for the BeatStep and TD-3-MO are as below -- will there be any issues/risk with the combination. I am brand new to patching CV/Gate so am nervous. 😬 BeatStep Control Voltage: from OV to 7V Gate output: 8 Volts TD-3-MO • Filter CV in: 0 V to +12 V • CV in: +1 V to +5 V • Gate in: off: 0 V, on: +3.3 V

[@optoproductions]

@@witte2702 those spec look perfectly fine to me! Usually, there's not much wrong you can do with patching, it's designed to work with all kinds of voltage ranges.

[@Erick_T4]

Some jam with some TD3 patch?

[@optoproductions]

What's the question? You want me to make a jam video?

[@Erick_T4]

@@optoproductions yes, please!

[@Zillatek]

Hey man did you know how to sound the td3 from the pianoroll of ableton ? I try and is so cool but i can t find a working tutorial on how we can put slide and accent from there, this will be really cool !

[@optoproductions]

Yes this is pretty simple, just make the notes overlap to add a slide and turn up the velocity for an accent.

[@Zillatek]

I try but the velocity isn t giving me the accent, only the overlap make the slide but i cant slide like same bass note each time if i try to go foward to overlap the next note disappear, i try to understand why

[@optoproductions]

@@Zillatek you can download the behringer editor to see which velocity the accent becomes active at. Slides won't do anything when you slide to the same note ofcourse. I'll see if I can make a short about it. 👍

[@Zillatek]

@@optoproductions It will be helpful for sure there are 0 video that explain clearly how to replicate accent and slide same as td3 sound with the ableton pianoroll, a lot of ppl didn t even know about this possibility

[@rl2183]

When i press start i still dont hear anything. But if i am in pitch mode i do hear my notes seperatly. Anyone a cleu what it could be? Thanks.

[@optoproductions]

Maybe you need to set the clock to internal?

[@rl2183]

@@optoproductions the instuctions sais there should be a light flashing once its ready to put in a patern. In mt td3 there is no flashing light?

[@optoproductions]

@@rl2183 mine only flashes while it's paused, not when I'm entering notes

[@Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

Yeah, and all of this together with the usage of some attenuators could have been interesting AND MUSICAL.

[@optoproductions]

I don't make music, just bleeps and bloops 😄

[@austrianindianriders1667]

Sync DOES include Start and Stop.

[@optoproductions]

With a mono patch cable? Even if it did stop the clock signal, you still need to press start on the slave unit.

[@acdnrg]

@@optoproductions I´ve read (but not yet tested) that sync in is stereo, so that should combine clock and run. Can´t verify at the moment, but if you find the time.....

[@optoproductions]

@@acdnrg ah yeah that could work, I'll check when I'm back in the studio 👍
