The Behringer TD-3 AM is a clone of the famous Roland TB-303 bass synthesizer, whose bubbling and screaming sound has captivated generations of musicians, DJs and party guests. Probably the most widely used sound in electronic music, it gets by with surprisingly few controls and really comes alive with its internal sequencer. An oscillator with two waveforms, the legendary acid filter, a decay envelope and the accent parameter; that's all it takes to create the legendary sound. Compared to the original from 1982, the TD-3 has been given a distortion effect for the analog tone generation and, among other things, a directly accessible randomize function for the sequencer.
Originally, the TB-303, along with the TR-606 drum machine (both made by Roland), was intended to replace drums and bass in a solo entertainer context, allowing musicians to practice without band members present. However, since this target group did not feel addressed, the TB-303 ended up with disco house, DJs and producers, who linked this bass machine with a drum machine, creating countless legendary tracks,
In the 90s, with the emerging techno wave, many producers wanted to call a "303" their own, which was unfortunately reserved for only a few due to the then already increased second-hand market prices and the low availability. So numerous manufacturers took up the cause and released a good number of clones in software and hardware. Sometimes the sequencer was successful, sometimes the sound generation. But many times the result was so independent that it was a lot of things, just not a 303.
As Fatboy Slim put it so simply and aptly: "Everybody needs a 303!
The iconic sequencer gives access to 64 patterns, each of which can be up to 16 steps long, and of course the song mode. The indispensable and characteristic Accent and Slide commands are of course on board. In addition, there is the possibility to transpose patterns. Thanks to the Randomize function, the TD-3 lets you throw together new patterns at the touch of a button, providing a constant source of inspiration and variation. This eliminates the need for the TB-303's battery out/inside play to achieve the same effect.
What would the most famous bass sound in the world be without the pithy addition of a distortion?! Behringer has given the Behringer TD-3 AM an extensively adjustable distortion effect, which will definitely please especially friends of the somewhat harder tones.
The TD-3 AM is in timeless chic yellow and has a smiley on the front, which is the identifier for acid house since 1988. In addition, the yellow TD-3 is a limited edition.
Behringer TD-3 (Acid Yellow)As someone said elsewhere, buying one of these is a no brainer. Being an old codger, I remember seeing the TB303 when it came out (I was in the process of buying an 808) and thinking it was crap. How wrong you can be! The Behringer is a faithful recreation of the original, with added extras, sounds great. Is there a downside? Well the manual is minimal to say the least and this doesn't help with the arcane process of programming (although there is a Behringer app which simplifies things). My advice would be to look on line for the original 303 manual, which is much more comprehensive :-)
Over the moon with this product, I quickly got the hang of it, really fun to jam with and very quick delivery! By far my favourite piece in the studio
