DAFT PUNK 'DA FUNK' TB-303 / TB-03 / TB-3 / TD-3 PATTERN

How to program the bassline to Daft Punk's 'Da Funk' on the Roland Boutique TB-03, in 'Original' pattern write mode.
The pattern will work on the Roland TB-303, TB-3, Behringer TD-3 or any 303 clone.

Very cool - still have no idea what's going on here.

Lol same

[@jacknone1564]

So the first thing he did was write the line. That’s the whole part of that song. He went back and changed some notes to higher and some lower, then went back and added effects on to some of the notes. If you watch the keys light up, you can see it was all the first pass he laid down. When he starts to add the slides, you can see what notes they’re on, and whether those are higher or lower (the programming he did in the second pass.). Then he does a pass and accents some of the notes. One pattern, many layers of slides, accents, pitch changes on top of that. He just did it really fast because he’s a pro.

[@wifoutteef]

@@jacknone1564 thanks for the detailed explanation! what does "accent" mean in this video? correct me if im wrong, but transposing is shifting octaves, and slide is making the notes smoothly transition into each other. but what does accent do exactly?

I can still picture the laser lights penetrating the smoky dance floor as we danced to this track. This song and "Higher State of Consciousness by Josh Wink. TB-303 got you high on the dance floor without the need for drugs. It was an amazing time to be alive in 1995.

[@ltu42]

Yes, this video clearly shows what a shitty, cumbersome bass machine TB-303 was, but that quirky slide effect and once-low resale values made it the defining element of acid house.

[@shinigamiburger]

This is awesome, especially hearing the entire process! I wonder if you could do Mr Oizo - flatbeat?

[@jonesc1978]

Thank you! Unfortunately the Flat Beat bassline was programmed on a Korg MS20, sampled into an Akai and re-sequenced. Great track!

[@Testgeraeusch]

Estuera just uploaded a video where he explains famous presets of old synth and uses his personal MS20 to recreate Flat Beat near the end of the journey. He also tried to recreate Da Funk in a DAW, but that one sounded a bit less convincing tbh. Still worth a click :)

Great stuff - Subscribed! Any tips for figuring out patterns? I'm trying to recreate 'Big Muff' by Pepe Deluxe

[@jonesc1978]

If I'm trying to figure out a pattern, I'll listen to the track in Traktor, slow down the tempo, but maintain the key, drop cue points on every beat, then just work out the notes, one beat at a time. It helps if you plug a midi keyboard into the 303 to work out the notes.

[@cmsslee]

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense I’ll give it a whirl later on. Cheers 👍🏼

[@jonesc1978]

I think I've figured out the pattern. I can post a video on the weekend if you want 👍

[@cmsslee]

@@jonesc1978 Yes man that would be great. I've not had a chance to get the original into Traktor yet to try your method! Cheers

[@jonesc1978]

@@cmsslee I think this is pretty close: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oZjNnYWEpapmfdU. It looks like they trigger the pattern from an external sequencer: maybe an MPC or an 808 and add a lot of swing to it.

I'm not sure about that. The original TB-303 only transposed up / down 1 octave, I think.

The note is clearly an octave higher on Da Funk... maybe they figured out a way to transpose it, or maybe it's not really a 303, haha.

It increases the volume slightly, but also increases the attack of the VCA and boosts the VCF.
