@@LeadingMotive I tend to use a TB-03 more for happy accident stuff, but mostly because it has the second randomiser for making variations on the current pattern, and it's a little more conservative in it's randomisation.

Using MIDI cables it is a little simpler, however I needed to set the MIDI filter to omit Thru notes otherwise I got feedback loops from the TD-3. Anyway, I got there in the end so thanks again! 😀

To my ears, the internal sequencer sounds better. Specifically the slides. I don't know exactly how behringer has built the cirquitry of the sequencer, but if they have indeed copied the cirquits of the 303, there should be something other than a midi trigger to those slides. Maybe it's all in my mind but I really think the slides sound more tight. You should be able to import sequences into the td-3 via the software editor and save them to a pattern slot. Try it and see if you can hear a difference too. Programming the td3 is not too hard. If you follow a guide and do it a few times, you'll learn how to do it.

I don't bother with the whole TB-303 vs TB-3 vs TD-3 and so on. Analogue vs Digital etc. I feel it wastes my time (Unless something is actually totally crap no matter how much you try to incorporate it). Exploit their differences, and exploit each's boundaries.

I've used Cubase only, but MIDI Clock should work in other DAWs as well. The sync setting usually needs to be activated explicitly in the DAW, and also assigned to the correct output.

Thank you for this tutorial, however I have 2 questions/problems... 1) When I start a recording from my daw, the TD-3 starts playing as expected but there is a delay in the start making the TD3 sound out of sync with the other instruments. I have this issue when starting through MIDI as well as USB. I can use a delay on the channel but the problem is that the delay is not consistent and varies between 20 and 70ms so I can not use a static delay. My soundcard delay should only be 3ms (128 buffer length). Is this something you experienced or know how to fix? 2) When playing from the sequencer glide is working perfectly, but when recording MIDI notes from the TD-3 into FL Studio and then playing them back, the TD-3 skips notes where glide has been used (2 notes playing at the same time in the MIDI pattern). Is this something you experienced When I play the notes live on my keyboard like you did, glide is working however.

Unfortunately I have not used the TD-3 much, I'll try to answer as well as I can: (1) MIDI sync offset (delay) is a common issue on a lot of gear, the TD-3 is not an exception. Time variation should not occur; it might be due to the MIDI interface/USB. I had many issues with MIDI timing over the years with various interfaces. (2) I did not notice that, weird! Sounds as if for the internal sequencer this trick works, but once you record the MIDI output and then play it back to the TD-3 it won't anymore. Seems you'll have to edit/correct those notes manually in the DAW.
@all6senses

@@LeadingMotive Thank you for your reply! In the meanwhile I was able to identify the issue of the fluctuating time sync issues and anticipate to it. For anyone that it concerns: The problem was caused by the start/stop button being active or inactive by the time that I press play on my DAW. When the button was not yet active it took the TD-3 longer to start the sequence (higher delay) and the delay time was fluctuating. If I manually press the start/stop button on the TD-3 already before pressing play in the DAW (the pattern will not start because the unit is in MIDI/USB mode) the delay will still be +-60ms but it is a pretty consistent delay (between 55-65ms) so I can use a static delay set on the mixer to anticipate to the delay already and just finetune the +-5ms that are left manually afterwards.

If it is possible to sync the TD-3 to the MPC (not sure as I never owned an MPC) then yes, the synchronization should start/stop the TD-3's own sequencer in the right moment. Apart from that there is no other way to start the TD-3 AFAIK.

That's literally the first thing I explained at 0:43... you need to have either overlapping notes or use pitch bend messages for the slide effect to work via MIDI. I hope your sequencer supports one of the options.

thank you for the inciteful and clear tutorial. I had now question which I'm hoping you or somebody reading the comments can. I use a cirklon to sequence. bunch of my hardware gear including the td-3 - I pre make my patterns on the td3 but is there a way I can trigger those patterns (including all its slides/accents and different time signatures) on the td3 from the cirklon. I'm only able to pregame in any riffs on the cirklon direct if it is in Midi mode. it won't play the pre programmed notes I've put in. The original Roland 303 was able to override this and play any patterns made before hand. Providing there were no pattern notes inputted in the cirklon sequencer. I was hoping the same would apply buy having no joy here.. hoping someone can assist..??

If you mean that the TD-3 should play from its own internal sequencer while being slaved to another machine, that is possible as long as the external device can provide MIDI sync (like the DAW in my video). However I don't know whether it's possible to switch the TD-3's sequences via MIDI commands (I assume not).

If you have a controller with MIDI out you can play the TD-3 directly. If your controller has USB only then you have to go via a host (computer), direct USB would not work. By playing from a controller you can play whatever without having to use the built-in sequencer. I did not check the range but since it is analog I would assume it has the full MIDI note range.

For syncing you have to decide which component of your setup is the master. Typically that is the DAW, which should be able to send MIDI clock to several machines at the same time. If however you need the TR-8 to be the master then it might be tricky. You could connect the TR-8 to the TD-3 directly. I'm not sure whether you can slave the DAW to the TR-8 while at the same time slaving the TD-3 to the DAW.

The TD-3 has analog potentiometers that do not send MIDI data. Also the filters etc. are directly controlled by the potentiometers. Therefore what you are attempting is not possible. The other synths you mention must have digital controls with MIDI capabilities. That's more expensive though and would most likely have increased the TD-3's price.
