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

[@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.

[@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]

@@doktor.pajchiwo please do! Just watch for the high frequencies, they really bite!!😜 It will give a slightly fatter, distorted sound as it's causing feedback.

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!

[@brokenpoolhall]

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

[@Hewbuntu]

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!

[@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 :)

[@xrabbz2010]

Would love to see a deep dive on the 3mo they brought out, youre very knowledgable about hardware synths, been binge watching your channel for hours!

[@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.

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Hope you like it.

[@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 👍

[@acidbreaks]

Have a good coffee mate!.... what a great knowledge of this sinth, you have spent quite a lot of time with td3 for sure... thats the only way how to learn... no shortcuts here 💥 ... thank youuuuu!!!!!

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Hey !!! Thanks for the coffee !! It's one of those synths or gear where the interaction really pays off. Specially if you fool around with it. Happy mistakes can happen. Thanks for the comment and the support.

[@slowneutron6163]

Thank you. I have been neglecting mine for some time simply because I have bass-boxes that are easier to use. But I am determined to master this thing.

[@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.

[@bicycleninja1685]

Wooho! Have TD-3-MO. Just started watching, looking forward to this journey 🙂

[@djsavada718]

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

[@romulinprince]

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

[@ChaosToOrder777]

This is without doubt the best video tutorial on the td3. Personally I just use ableton to control it. (So much easier). Now I'll be able to stick it in a bag and take it away with me. Thanks! ❤

[@PsyGoaLover]

OMG, I am going to be LIVING with this video, lol! I am no professional musician producer, whatever, just a guy who has been into goa/psy trance since the early 2000's. 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! But my main thing here is to thank you for going into this detail on the TD-3, it will help me so much! And, just subscribed! :D

[@XNBeatsMusic]

Thanks man, glad you could get something useful out of the videos :)

[@MultiAndy777]

Up and running with my new td 3 in a a couple hours... Thank you dude

[@asbjrnandersen4222]

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.

[@mateotorres7222]

Amazing tutorial! So useful and super well explained. Thanks for this. Greetings from Colombia

Oh Mate,what a vid just what I needed. I'm a total newb, havin lost 30+ yrs of records that I can't replace thought I'd have a go At makin some noise,was gonna get a pocket op today but now not sure what I need to sync with this .

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).✌

[@slava.meseka]

Mr. Mackie bought a TD-3 :)

[@hstone0808]

I bought a green one, it sounds great, but then i stumbled on a pdf of all the needed parts and instructions on how to mode it out. 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...

[@lilbig3685]

Hey love your videos, they've really helped me reinvigorate my interest in going dawless. I recently bought the TD3 - MO, would you say most of this applies to that too or is this a different breed altogether?

Great, that was the idea. Glad you got something out of it

[@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?

[@jamesaugustakis5616]
