Hey. Can you help with connecting TD 3 to a lunchkey?

[@OpenMinded000]

Really great tutorial. Tip : if the number 1 is not flashing the timer is off apparently. To enable it, hold BACK and WRITE/NEXT and then press C (INT). Thank you for the great way of explaining, the logical 'mistakes' - it's a fantastic way to start!

[@alanastephens1200]

Thank you for this tip! I was following along with the tutorial and couldn't figure out why my 1 light wasn't blinking

[@ASH-ou4cg]

Plug the phones out, into the filter in, for a super squelchy, whistling, chirpy effect! Adds another tone/character, to the box!

[@doktor.pajchiwo]

Wow, very inetersting. I will check it, thanks!:)

[@ASH-ou4cg]

Very Sick! Just got the TD-3-MO and nearly every other guide starts with this is a nightmare to enter patterns.. talk about discouraging a newb, finally you describe it very meticulously, not too slow/not too fast. Thank You!

[@ridgerider7402]

This is the most in depth walk thru of the TD-3 out there. Props for taking the time to make this, I have learned so much 🙌

[@squintygreeneyes]

which model of td-3 is this,? there are a lot of versions. is this TD-3-RD ?

[@PsyGoaLover]

@@squintygreeneyes From what I see, those last 2 letters apply to the color of it. I have the yellow, TD-3 AM. This one TD-3 RD, would make sense to be red. Other than that, I think all TD-3's are the same, regardless of color. But I can't say for sure, if someone here knows otherwise, please correct me! :)

[@AirZeee]

@@PsyGoaLovercorrect. Although there is now a “MO” for “MODDED OUT” version.

This is rhe definitive guide to programming the TD3. No doubt. Cleared up a lot of confusion for me. Thank you very much!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks Paul, glad it was helpful!

[@brokenpoolhall]

Thank you for this so much. Been struggling with depression, and music is my saving grace. God bless.✌️✌️

[@sven]

Lil Trick if you just wanna use the filter. You need to put the slider for the waveform in the middle, so that the oscilator is not playing but the gate is still opening.

[@richarddixon5657]

Thanks for the walk through. Really easy to follow if you’re new to the td3 like me.

[@ASH-ou4cg]

Man, so helpful. I still need to get my head around the moving ahead of notes, when adding ties, but with another watch and some hands on practice, I should get better and it is all thanks to you. Great job.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Yeah, it takes a while. But, sometimes you have happy mistakes, let it be :)

[@romulinprince]

The most clear and precise instructional video on this instrument. Thank you!

[@djsavada718]

Your Channel is King. You helped me with the K2, D and now TD3. Thank you very much.

[@Polyruidoso]

This is the very first tutorial that actually works with what i needed to learn. I´ve been triying to understand how to program the whole track secction, for around a year, without success until now. Thanks a lot for reaaal!!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks for the comment !! it really helps to know the effort counts.

[@stuartleighton]

This is awesome, thanks. I've just got my TD-3 linked up to Ableton so will get home tonight and work my way through this in order to understand how to use the TD-3. Much appreciated.

[@oshradeiy]

Hey ..do you know how to connect it into a midi controller?

[@allyferguson8117]

@@oshradeiy If you are using Ableton; go the midi tab in preferences and select your midi controller from the drop down menu in the Control Surface box and TD 3 in the input box 👍

[@christopherrusch]

literally same holy shit

[@ASH-ou4cg]

yup! Same!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

It is funny. Is weird and complicated to program, but that's where the magic happens, sometimes you miss something or you randomly add notes or changes and it always sounds musical.

[@TiberianFiend]

I've had a lot of equipment like that. It makes me wonder if I should get one or not. Behringer should have updated the controls like they did with the RD-8.

Have always wanted a TB-303, just because, and now I have the TD-3 to play with! I will be going step by step with what you are showing here, along with you, will help ,e SO MUCH in learning this thing! Btw, I just picked up a Donner B-1 to play with, am thinking if I figure out how to link them together, that could open up some very interesting possibilities!

Great guide! It’s also possible to redo the time steps without redoing the pitches, which is a lot of fun :) Also a fun detail, as bizarre as the sequencer is, I grasped it fairly quickly and had a lot of fun doing semi-accidents. On the other hand, I have never become friends with the Crave/Mother-sequencer.

Triplets, in the context of 4/4 pattern, divides the beat (1/4 quarter note) into three equal measures (1/3) instead of the usual two, or four measures (1/8th notes or 1/16th notes).✌

Naturally, i bought the needed components and was just about to do surgery when i again! stumbled on the td-3-mo. You already know, i went ahead and pulled the trigger and copped it. So now i have a lime td-3 as well as the components to transmutate it to mo. version...

[@st.johannis-harvestehude4396]

[@alanredversangel]

I was a bit confused with the time/rest section. I take it you just need to think about a bassline, write in the notes, then write in the ties etc. So it's not about rearranging your idea, it's just a way of writing out the melody, notes first and timing later?

[@marcoagius6926]

Is it possible to create "i feel love " bassline sequence with the TD3? Thanks
