Behringer -TD3 How to use the Track Mode. Combine Patterns 

do you know if there's a way to clear an entire track? didnt see it mentioned in the vid

press clear in write mode till it beeps - should play nothing @@romkehoogwaerts

Well the clear track function didn't work (no beep),but i figured out how to write with this tutorial. Thanks

That's great to hear.

@@303Guy yeahhh! thanks from me 2!! I was always allready in love with tb-303... (thinking I allready knew everyting about it) but i never owned one... Now time (2023), I have a real TD-3... and to be honest.... way more dificult program- flow that i would imagine :S, but because of your YTvids easy like tie shoelaces for me now! ;P

Great to hear!

Even I watch it to recap how its done

@@303Guy dude im watching it again 2 years later lol :) 99.9% of td-3 have never used this feature, prove me wrong :) the pitch change record thanks so much for that! really gonna open that unit up!

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you like them!

Glad it helped!

Could be another secret to unlock

You can insert and delete sequences from your track. The directions are in the manual.

with a pen and paper involved you can write full songs amazing|!!!!

64 measures per song x 7 songs = 256 measures total each song can access up to16 patterns to write that track you can link 'tracks' to create longer than 64 measure songs.

Ahhh, the comment I was looking for, thank you for answering this question!

Welcome!

@@303Guy no one mentions the damn clear stuff when making tutorials. Thanks for explaining it more in depth.

@@christopheronald Here is where i learned most of this - cdn.roland.com/assets/media/pdf/TB-303_OM.pdf

You're welcome!

Ha ha ha it's true it's like the X button on PlayStation in Japan it means cancel and circle is accept.

@@303Guy yup!

I think it’s explained at the start

Yeah it’s a beast . get some stickers

You're welcome

Apparently it's 16 patterns can be chained

Hey in case of BPM clear no, halftime yes by doing the patterns so, double time only if master is double time and you do everything in 1/2 to be in equal to 1/4 again, then you have the headroom for double time, triplets nes because unreliable to program but possible, polymetrics yes e.g. 12/16 and 16/16 etc., but best is, if you buy a Doepfer A-160-2 Clock Divider II (needs an input from a master clock, your drummachine mostly, or a midiclock in which cas you can separately trigger your drummachine also differently) then use the sync in of your TD3, you can divide or multiply the clock of 4/4 usually by even, uneven numbers or even prim numbers, which the TD3 receives as master clock. This must be done patternwise or for longer patterns in a track. That is the best and easiest way to go, but has to be operated live if you wanna mix times. Polyrythm pure and tight AF. I would not see write to use for a whole songs bassline, but rather for longer scenes combined from A-B Bank repertoire respectively, 7 tracks is a bit too less. If you put two different times from the clock divider into an AB switch you may automate this for tracks by a third device e.g. trigger AB-Switch after 36 bars or so.

I will when I get my Behringer td-3 Mo

@@303Guy Thanks 👍

That TD3 MO is really worth buying. Dope piece of equipment

LOL

@@303Guy LOL with yourself I suppose?

With acetone?

@@asktoby yep

@@sacredgeometry Warning: I just tried this on my black TD-3 and it's lifted the metallic grey paint off as well as the logo, making the unit look very ugly. I guess you had a different model TD-3 that wasn't painted.

@@asktoby Nope I have the metallic grey one too.Sorry had I known you were going to try it I would have told you to be careful for that reason. It's acetone it melts plastics which is why the plastic label comes off. I would have advised masking or using very little, working quickly and making sure to wipe it off as soon as possible.

@@sacredgeometry Don't worry, it's on me, I should have tested on a small area first
