Thanks people.
I could never understand hardware that needs a software editor to make it shineā¦

Lots of quite good bass lines were written on 303s without software editors 
Nord modular is/was pretty good.
My pc/Mac do really well too
And my phone.

Holy smokes that price! That is literally the price of the Volca NuBass, but there is lots of peripheral utilities, like the CV/gate outs and āfilter inā (which also goes through the distortion as well). Iām envisioning sending pitch cv to the DPO and running some westcoast waveforms into the TD-3.
Also, I was pleasantly surprised with the sequencer. The randomizer is a nice touch and they compromised by leaving the hardware sequence designer oldschool, but provide a software sequence designer thatās basically a piano roll.
Hello GAS, my old friendā¦

Not sure why, but this release today pushed me over the edge for an MS-1

Just finished watching the loopop review. Sorry Behringer but the sound is way off to my ears. And that old TB sequencer, no thanks.
Purists will disagree, but I think so many synths can get you into 303 acid territory, and if you get it right, it will sound great in a mix no matter what synth you use. And so many of those synths have much more friendly sequencers.

Does Behringer often have manufacturing problems with their first batches?
How do you say the TD-3 sounds way off and other synths get you into TB territory? TD3 is a ācloneā of the TB more so than a monologue or BS2. I understand other synths can do things close to a TB but not anymore or any less than a clone of the same synth itās trying to be. Break yo self fooā:wink:

I didnt say TB territory. I said 303 acid Territoryā¦
Iām one of those purists that only really like the original/genuine type 303 sound, as Acid (Original or Clone, happy with either)
Itās those very specific attributes that define it as Acid and once you start to add to, alter, affect those inherent characteristics it becomes something different in my mind.
I donāt even particularly like hearing that sound slathered in fx that alter the character too much.
I like to hear it as pure and simple as possible. Even in a track context. Just a 303 and Drum Machine.

I think I will try this one. Iām not a purist but I love the 303 sound, no matter if itās replica or if it has his own character. Itās like an instrument of itās own. Not a synth, a 303.
Also, I think this TD-3 in my AH with Classic Dist could break the wall and bring the police to my door.

It appears that the cutoff filter frequency is set to a higher value on the TD-3 in this video.
Yeah and the resonance doesnt sound right to my ears. And the way the filter bites the oscillator. Nerd? Me?
couldnāt be 
!
I think the degree of similarity is fine for $199, keeping in mind that mass production is a balancing act of features to cost to begin with. I sometimes think this is overlooked when comparing the TD-3 to boutiques that are literally hand-built labors of love and 40-year-old antiques that sell for 10-20 times as much.

So you can tell the difference if someone used a tb303 or any one of its clones on a track just by the way it sounds? Thatās virtually impossible when none of them sound the same, even any two tbās. I thought purist was meant for the analog over digital argument. Not the differences in transistor and resistor Nuances.
Iām not arguing with you. I just canāt understand.
Yeah baby! This is the skin I want on my teebee clone
Bonus points for making it UV
my all-black xoxbox looks like a goth version, all doom and gloomā¦ it needs psychedelia
