Behringer TD-3 [303 clone]

Btw, meanwhile the TD-3 Mod Thread on Gearslutz is going pretty crazy and today the creator of the Devilfish mods chimed in.

Can anyone confirm whether it response via MIDI for accent (using a velocity threshold) and slide (overlapping notes)?
This seems standard to me but apparently some 303 clones don’t do this. I prefer sequencing from Engine so am hoping this works well.

IIRC slides work with overlapping notes and in the synth tool software you can configure the velocity threshold for accent.

What is the gear list of this track? And audio interface. Excellent quality work here.

Behringer TD-3-BU
Digitakt (not via OB, but usb-midi sync and audio to focusrite)
Focusrite scarlett 6i6
Ableton Live10

303 line logically from behringer, all other tracks except speech from DT, recorded seperately (meaning both as individual tracks as one by one…) into Live10. Speech sampled from youtube directly to Live10. Mix, compression, reverb and delay done in Live10

Only used (layered) factory samples from DT for all the rhythm tracks

The TD-3 really fills up a track in the right hands.

An old video I stumbled on just now when searching Devilfish 303. So funny.

So, no midi chart?
Can we control the slide from an Elektron box’s sequencer?

I quickly tried all the CC channels from the Digitone and nothing seems to respond (except for the pitch bend on the SYN1 page).

Does overlapping gates not do it?

It does when I play notes on the Digitone keyboard, but not when triggered by Digitone’s sequencer. Am I missing something?

Can you overlap programmed notes by altering note lengths on your Digi?

That’s what triggers slides on an MB33 (and is a logical implementation).

A new note stops the previous one, no matter its lenght.

increase the length of the individual notes with p-locks on the note page. should work.

Ok, found it.

In the synth tool, the default setup is set to “MultiTrigger : on”.
With this, the TD-3 is gonna play the first (long) note, then the second (short) note and come back to playing again the first note. So you’ll actually end up with something sounding like three notes are played by only two triggers.
With the MultiTrigger off you get the original smooth sliding sound.

Thanks to both of you for considering my issue.

And, btw, the manual says the “Filter In” jack is an audio in, but it’s actually a filter cv in.
I can modulate the TD-3 filter from my Microbrute’s LFO cv out. And that’s just great!

Damn, that’s a nice way of getting some automated movement … super useful.
