Rated 3 out of 5

Excellent but Partially Flawed Bass Synth

So the Behringer TD-3 is definitely fun when you get the hang of it but it also misses the mark on a couple of features. First off I have never used a real TB-303 so I'm not comparing it to that. I'm just commenting on this as a unique piece of gear. First off this thing sounds great AND fat. I found that the square wave oscillator is almost always better sounding the then saw. The controls are very intuitive and really are just asking to be tweaked in a live take. I found that for my purposes it was more useful to set the accent, decay, envelope, & resonance at my desired levels and just tweak the filter cutoff. Speaking of the knobs, I have to take off a point for the decay knob. I can barely hear an envelope decay of the filter with this thing. It is VERY fast and I really couldn't hear much difference between the completely closed and open values. This misses the mark even if it's exactly modeled after the 303. Also I know Behringer were going after making a faithful recreation of the TB-303 but the method for inputting notes is very cumbersome. Apparently it is exactly as it is on the 303 but it is not intuitive at first use. You have to enter all your notes first and then enter their lengths & any rests. It's not so bad after you get the hang of it but it leaves something to be desired compared to the modern Roland TB-3 which is a pretty great and intuitive sequencer. I take another point off the TB-3 for its horrendous USB MIDI. In short it is unusable. It creates a digital hum that of course you could mostly remove with notch filtering or something like iZotope RX but it should simply not be there. Standard din MIDI however does not have this problem and neither does analog sync. For the money the TD-3 delivers strong & powerful bass with pedigree. The various hardware color options make it fun finding the perfect counterpart to your studio or live setup. Honestly I hope to never part with mine and I truly have zero gear lust for a real 303. There may be flaws in comparison that I just have no concept of but I've recorded and jammed with the TD-3 and it simply is fun to use.

About Behringer TD-3

An homage to the iconic Roland TB-303, the Behringer TD-3-TG Analog Bass Line Synthesizer is a sleek and stylish instrument that has carved its niche in the world of Electronic Dance Music (EDM). This innovative synthesizer, with its tangerine hue, is not just a visual delight but also a powerhouse of features that make it a must-have for musicians and producers alike.

The TD-3-TG is a testament to the enduring appeal of pure analog signal paths, with its 16-step sequencer and authentic VCO, VCF, and VCA filters. This high-tech synthesizer is designed with meticulous attention to detail, featuring original VCO, VCF, and VCA designs and pure analog circuitry with matched transistors. This dedication to quality ensures the TD-3-TG offers ultra-flexible sound shaping capabilities, from super-fat bass and lead tones to stunning effects, and even the otherworldly sounds of your imagination.

The TD-3-TG comes ready to rock right out of the box, with a default signal routing that allows you to create amazing sounds without lifting a single patch cable. Its intuitive layout makes it easy to recreate the inspired sounds of 1980s and '90s progressive rock, wave, EDM, and synth-pop music tracks, or to design incredibly fat and original sounds that will set you apart.

At the heart of the TD-3-TG's sound is its versatile 24 dB/octave filter, which allows you to experiment with the low-pass Cutoff frequency and Resonance settings to dial in the perfect sound. Its authentic Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) with transistor wave-shaping circuitry offers your choice of reverse-sawtooth or pulse waveforms for ultimate sound creation.

The TD-3-TG also features an onboard sequencer with 7 tracks that allows you to program up to 16 steps of notes and rests and save them as a Pattern. You can record, save, and recall up to 250 patterns, all of which can be stored in the 4 Groups. Plus, its 16-note Poly Chain function lets you combine multiple synthesizers for up to 16-voice polyphony.

One of the most exciting features of the TD-3-TG is its Distortion circuit. When you want to add even more power to your performance, just flip the Distortion On/Off switch and dial in the perfect amount of Drive.

The TD-3-TG is also equipped with 11 controls and 28 switches for direct and real-time access to all important parameters. Its multi-I/O patchbay allows you to connect external devices and expand its tone-sculpting capabilities beyond your wildest dreams.

When modern performance calls for classic analog sound, it calls for the Behringer TD-3-TG Analog Bass Line Synthesizer. Unleash your imagination and create the music of your dreams with this versatile and innovative instrument.
