TD-3-MO Getting Started

Step 3: Getting started

OVERVIEW
This ‘getting started’ guide will help you set up the TD-3-MO analog bass line synthesizer and briefly introduce its capabilities.

CONNECTION
To connect the TD-3-MO to your system, please consult the connection guide earlier in this document.

SOFTWARE SETUP
The TD-3-MO is a USB Class Compliant MIDI device, and so no driver installation is required. The TD-3- MO does not require any additional drivers to work with Windows and MacOS.

HARDWARE SETUP
Make all the connections in your system. Keep the TD-3-MO power turned off when making any connections. Use only the supplied power adapter for the TD-3-MO . Ensure your sound system is turned down. Turn on the TD-3-MO before turning on any power amplifiers, and turn it off last. This will help prevent any turn on or turn off “pops or thumps” in your speakers.

WARM UP TIME
We recommend leaving 15 minutes or more time for the TD-3-MO to warm up before recording or live performance. (Longer if it has been brought in from the cold.) This will allow the precision analog circuits time to reach their normal operating temperature and tuned performance.

SETTING SYNC and CLOCK TYPE

Selector switches 1, 2, 3, or 4 represent clock source INT, MIDI, USB, or TRIG respectively Selector switches 5, 6, 7, or 8 represent clock rate 1PPs, 2PPQ, 24PPQ, or 48PPQ respectively

  1. Press Function.
  2. Make sure no sequence is playing.
  3. Press BACK and WRITE/NEXT at the same time to enter Sync setting mode.
  4. Selector 1 to 8 LEDs will turn on, and the current clock source (1 to 4) and clock rate (5 to 8) will flash, you have about 3 seconds to make any changes.
  5. Press Selector 1, 2, 3, or 4 to change the clock source to INT, MIDI, USB, or TRIG respectively
  6. Press Selector 5, 6, 7, or 8 to change the clock rate to 1PPs, 2PPQ, 24PPQ, or 48PPQ respectively.
  7. Press any other buttons or after no changes for a 3 seconds, the changes are saved.
  8. Repeat step 3 to check your selection.

Caution: Clock source must always be INT (internal) if you are not using an external clock. Note: Clock rate 24 or 48 PPQ (Pulses per quarter) are recommended.

TUNING

To quickly start making sounds with your TD-3-MO , use the tuning feature as follows. Note that in this mode, the notes are transposed one octave higher.

  1. Make sure the VOLUME is turned down.
  2. Set the MODE switch to PATTERN PLAY.
  3. Press and hold down the PITCH MODE switch and then press the PATTERN 6 switch (note A).
  4. Now, each time you press WRITE/NEXT, you will hear this note in your headphones or speakers. Adjust the VOLUME level to a comfortable listening level.
  5. Use the TUNE control to adjust the output frequency to exactly 220 Hz. The frequency can be adjusted up or down, and allow fine tuning to other instruments.
  6. To tune to other notes instead of A, press and hold PITCH MODE and then the desired note.
  7. Now that the TD-3-MO can make sounds, you can experiment with the synthesizer controls, and the distortion, and listen to the effects on the sound.

SIGNAL FLOW

The signal path within the TD-3-MO can be thought of as moving from left to right as follows:

  1. The TD-3-MO has one voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) which generates the sound, and can be adjusted by its WAVEFORM and TUNING. The waveform can be selected from reverse-sawtooth or pulse. Listen to the changes in sound that both waveforms make.
  2. Next in line is the voltage controlled filter (VCF) where the CUTOFF frequency and RESONANCE can be adjusted. Play with the cutoff frequency, and resonance controls, and listen to their effects on the sound. The classic low pass filter allows a great deal of control over the sounds created by TD-3-MO. It reduces the level of signals that are above the cutoff frequency, so reducing the levels of the higher-order harmonics.
  3. The RESONANCE control gives an enhancement to the signals at the crossover frequency. Rotating it towards maximum will give very interesting effects and self-oscillation.
  4. The ENVELOPE and DECAY controls affect the VCF by modulating the cutoff frequency. The controls are dependent on each other, so if the envelope level is high, then the decay effect on the sound will be more noticeable.
  5. The ACCENT control affects only those notes in a pattern that have accent assigned.
  6. The voltage controlled amplifier (VCA) output then moves through the DISTORTION section (if this is selected). Use the VOLUME control to adjust the level going to your headphones and the main output.
  7. Keep the level down low when first putting on headphones.

PATCH BAY SECTION
This section allows you the versatility to connect to other units and modular synthesizer equipment to create many different sounds. The connections are standard 3.5 mm TS, and the voltage requirements are shown in the specifications table. The TD-3-MO does not need these connections in order to operate, they are used for further expansion of your system. Caution: Do not overload the 3.5 mm inputs. They can only accept the correct level of voltages as shown in the specification tables. The 3.5 mm outputs should only be connected to inputs capable of receiving the output voltages. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the TD-3-MO or external units.

SEQUENCER SECTION
Please see the section later in this guide for details of pattern writing and playing, and track writing and playing.

FIRMWARE UPDATE
Please download the SYNTHTRIBE app from behringer.com. New updates will be available in the app from our cloud server when released. There is no need to download the app each time.

HAVE FUN
The TD-3-MO has many useful controls to recreate different bass instruments, and to create bass lines. The patch bay allows for further experimentation and expansion to other units and modular synthesizer equipment.
With all these controls, the possibilities for musical creativity are endless!
We hope that you will enjoy your new TD-3-MO , and that it will become an essential part of your system.

TD-3-MO Operation

behringer TD-3-MO-SR “Modded Out” Analog Bass Line
Synthesizer-8

OVERVIEW

The following details show some of the basic operations of the TD-3-MO . Keep it simple to start with, until you become familiar with the steps required, and it becomes routine.
There are four pattern groups, I, II, III and IV. Each pattern group can have up to eight A patterns and eight B patterns. Each pattern can have up to 16 steps. The default step is a 16th note. A pattern of desired notes is first entered in PITCH MODE, and then the timing of each note is added in TIME MODE.

WRITING A PATTERN
As an example, we will program pattern 1A of pattern group I. All writing (pitch and timing) is done in PATTERN WRITE Mode.
Writing the notes in PITCH MODE

  1. Turn the MODE switch to PATTERN WRITE.

  2. Turn the PATTERN GROUP switch to Group I, position 1 or 2 (it does not matter which).

  3. Press FUNCTION, and the nearby NORMAL MODE LED will turn on, and one of the PATTERN switch LEDs will be flashing.

  4. Press the PATTERN 1 switch (note C) and its LED will flash, showing that we are getting ready to program it. (Press it anyway, even if it is already flashing.)

  5. Press the PATTERN A switch (100) and its LED will turn on (it may even be on already).

  6. If PATTERN 1A already exists, press and hold the PATTERN 1 switch and then press CLEAR. If you now press START/STOP, you should not hear a pattern. (Remember to press START/STOP once more to get out of play mode.)

  7. Enter the number of steps in your pattern, by holding down FUNCTION and pressing the STEP switch by the number of steps required. For example, you can press it 8 times. If you skip this step, then the pattern will be 16 steps.

  8. Press PITCH MODE and its LED will turn on. Now you can enter the notes required for your pattern by pressing any of the 13 notes in the keyboard.

  9. To change the octave for a note, press and hold either of the TRANSPOSE up or down switches and then press the required note. Checking and editing notes

  10. To listen to the pattern of notes, press PITCH MODE to return to the start of the pattern, and press WRITE/NEXT to play the notes one at a time. (Press PITCH MODE at any time to return to the start.)

  11. To change a note that has just played, press BACK to go back to that step. Then press the new note (or to change octave, press and hold either of the TRANSPOSE up or down switches and then press the desired note).

  12. Continue to press WRITE/NEXT until all notes have been played, or press PITCH MODE to return to the start, or FUNCTION to exit PITCH MODE.

  13. To redo the whole pattern, repeat step 3 onwards.
    Writing the timing in TIME MODE
    After all notes have been entered, you need to enter the timing of each note in TIME MODE. Note: While in TIME MODE, no sounds will be heard.

  14. Press the TIME MODE switch and its LED will turn on.

  15. In TIME MODE, you can play the NOTE as it is, or add a TIE, or a REST using three switches as shown above. For example, for 16 notes, you could press these three switches as follows: Note, Rest, Rest, Note, Tie, Note, Note, Tie, Note, Note, Tie, Note, Note, Note, Tie, Note. Whenever you reach the required number of notes (which you set in procedure 7 above), it will automatically exit TIME MODE.
    Note: To play all the notes just as they are, repeatedly press the NOTE switch until you exit TIME MODE. This will create a simple Arpeggio.
    Checking and editing timing

  16. To check the timing is OK, press TIME MODE, and press WRITE/NEXT to cycle through the pattern steps, one at a time. Look at the LEDs to see which step is a note, tie, or rest.

  17. To change the timing of the pattern, repeat steps 14 and 15 to re-enter the new timing. (Press TIME MODE at any time to return to the start of the pattern.)

  18. Now that the notes and timing have been added, you can play the pattern by pressing FUNCTION to return to normal mode, and then press START/STOP. As the pattern repeats, you can change the TEMPO and adjust the synthesizer controls as required.
    Alternative timing method
    There is another way of entering the timing:

  19. Press FUNCTION and then START/STOP to play the existing pattern.

  20. Press the CLEAR switch and you will hear a metronome, with a downbeat at the beginning of the pattern.

  21. Tap on the TAP switch, in the timing you would like. Turn down the TEMPO if this will help. To add Sustain, press and hold down TAP.

  22.  Repeat steps 20 and 21 until the timing sounds good (or repeat steps 14 and 15 if you prefer this method). Adding or deleting ACCENT and SLIDE

  23.  While still in PATTERN WRITE MODE, press PITCH MODE and its LED will turn on. Press WRITE/NEXT repeatedly to play each note of the current pattern.

  24.  When you reach a note that you would like to add an accent or a slide to, keep holding the WRITE/ NEXT(don’t release it). If you go past a note you want to change, press BACK first, then press and hold WRITE/NEXT.

  25. Press ACCENT and/or SLIDE as required, to add it to the note. (If these are already added to this note, they will be deleted.) Then release WRITE/NEXT.

  26. The ACCENT control knob will only affect those notes that have ACCENT applied.

  27. If the last note of a pattern is a slide, then:

  28. In TRACK PLAY mode, this will slide to the next pattern in a track (when the pattern is added to a track).

  29. In PATTERN WRITE/PLAY mode, if there is only one pattern, it will slide to the beginning of itself. If there are two or more patterns, it will slide to next pattern

PLAYING A PATTERN

Although you can play the patterns while the MODE switch is in the PATTERN WRITE position, use the PATTERN PLAY position during normal pattern playing. This will prevent you from accidentally erasing the patterns with the CLEAR switch.
The patterns are recalled by setting the PATTERN GROUP switch to position I, II, III, or IV and then using the PATTERN switches 1 to 8, and the A and B switches

  1. Turn the MODE switch to the PATTERN PLAY position.
  2. Turn the PATTERN GROUP switch to the group where your desired pattern was stored, either I, II, III, or IV.
  3. Press the FUNCTION switch, and the NORMAL MODE LED will turn on.
  4. Press the desired PATTERN switch 1 to 8, and its LED will flash.
  5. Press the desired A or B switch and its LED will light.
  6. Press the START/STOP switch to play the pattern.
  7. Adjust the synthesizer controls, the TEMPO, and the distortion, and have fun.
  8. If you press and hold PITCH MODE, and then press one of the 13 keys of the keyboard, the current pattern will be transposed to that key when the pattern restarts.
  9. While the pattern is playing, you can press another PATTERN switch 1 to 8, or A or B and it will play that as soon as the current pattern is finished.
  10. If you press and hold a PATTERN switch and then press another one at the same time, this will select both patterns and all the patterns in between, and play them in order. This is a good way of hearing multiple patterns before you make a track.

TRACKS
After you have created a few patterns, you can add them together to form a TRACK.

  1. Rotate the MODE switch to the TRACK WRITE position.
  2. Rotate the TRACK switch to one of the available positions 1 to 7. This also selects the pattern group to be used. For example, TRACK 1 and 2 can only select from patterns saved in PATTERN GROUP I. TRACK 3 and 4 can only select patterns from PATTERN GROUP II.
  3. Press CLEAR to reset the track to the beginning.
  4. Press START/STOP, and the TD-3-MO will play the current pattern of the selected track. (Tracks are only written while the unit is playing, and not stopped.)
  5. Select the first pattern to add to track. For example, if you wanted to play a previously recorded pattern 2A, press 2 (note D) then press A (labled 100), even if it is already selected, and pattern 2A should play.
  6. Press WRITE/NEXT to add this to the track
  7. Select the next pattern in the same way. To add a transpose, hold PITCH MODE and choose a key, and the pattern playing will change pitch to the new key.
  8. Press WRITE/NEXT to enter this pattern.
  9. Continue adding patterns in the same way.
  10. When you reach the last pattern, press CLEAR to let the TD-3-MO know this is the last pattern in the track.
  11. Press WRITE/NEXT.
  12. Press START/STOP to finish

Playing Tracks

  1. Rotate the MODE switch to the TRACK PLAY position.
  2. Rotate the TRACK switch to the desired track.
  3. Press CLEAR to reset the track to the beginning.
  4. Press START/STOP to play the track.

Deleting Patterns from a Track
To remove one pattern from the track, just select that Pattern number. For example, to delete the third pattern in a track:

  1. Rotate the MODE switch to the TRACK WRITE position.
  2. Rotate the TRACK switch to the track to be edited.
  3. Select the third pattern in the track by holding FUNCTION down and pressing PATTERN 3.
  4. Delete by holding FUNCTION down and then pressing DEL (C sharp).
  5. Rotate the MODE switch to the TRACK PLAY position.
  6. Press CLEAR to reset the track to the start.
  7. Press START/STOP to play the track and listen to the changes.

Inserting Patterns into a Track
For example, to add a pattern before the 5th pattern in a track:

  1. Rotate the MODE switch to the TRACK WRITE position.
  2. Rotate the TRACK switch to the track to be edited.
  3. Select the fifth pattern in the track by holding FUNCTION down and pressing PATTERN 5.
  4. Add by holding FUNCTION down and pressing INS (D sharp). The new pattern will be added to the track.
  5. Press the START/STOP switch and the current pattern added will play.
  6. Select the pattern you want to play by pressing its selector 1 to 8 and the A and B switches. The selected pattern will play
  7. Press TAP to store the change.
  8. Press START/STOP to stop play.
  9. Rotate the MODE switch to the TRACK PLAY position.
  10. Press CLEAR to reset the track to the start.
  11. Press START/STOP to play the track and listen to the changes.

Overwriting a Track

  1. Existing tracks can be overwritten with a new track. It is not necessary to delete all patterns in a track when writing over an existing track with a shorter track. This is because when the new track plays its last pattern, it will automatically return to the beginning.
