I made a mistake above: It’s perfectly possible to set the clock source without the app (TAP + BACK)
and allows a lot of us to afford one of them now, even if its a knock-off.
Edit: Midi sync if fine, I tested wrong. Similar latency to other analog synths, xoxbox and Dominion 1!
What I’m curious to know is, does the TD-3 have this noise component in the transient of the note? I have a noisy part in the transient of my xoxbox which is sometimes a bit irritating. Cannot remember if the original teebee did that…
I have to compare it with my xoxbox yet, however it sounds quite different and much cleaner. My xoxbox sounds more distorted in the bass.
Hmm… “sounds cleaner” might indicate that the noise component is indeed less present. I might give this one a go as well then. But not in a hurry to get one!
The RD9 is the one I’m waiting for the most. RD8 is already seeing plenty of use on actual upcoming record releases for a client, the way you can make it sound in the mix with careful tweaking is just beautiful I never got my rytm or Roland ACB sound like that - The rytm gave similar punch but less elegance, and the ACB just sounded harsh and too tinny/piercing, lacking mid frequency nuance. But YMMV as usual
No sync issue here with Digitakt as master.
Does the app let you set midi clock multiplication for fast acid. That’d be cool please Behringer.
Anybody else think they should have called it the TB-BOB?
Totally Behringer - Behringer Oh Behringer
Just sequence it from your favorite Elektron box
The sequencer is a bit meh anyway, it’s practically the same as the TB-303.
GAAAAWD DAMMIT this is the most fun in a box iv had for a while!!!
Dope! I know you have quite a bit of gear, so I’m sure you have a good idea of what level of quality it is. Any initial thoughts about it? Likes / Dislikes?
No gripes really, for the price point it rivals units for sound 2/3x the cost if not more. This is my favourite go to 303 unit I have by far the only thing that annoys me is the output level is super low but just means I add even more character with a pre, I’m no 1:1 303 chaser but what I am is a good sound chaser and this is awesome, but for full transparency I’m a DAW guy so don’t depend on hardware for sequencing
Nice. Sounds like my cup of tea. I would be running this into input 1 on my Motu Ultralite so I can easily boost volume with the trim encoder. Glad it sounds good, I don’t care if it’s a 1:1 representation either. Thanks for the info!
Hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as I do
