Behringer TD-3-BK Analog Bass Line Synthesizer with VCO, VCF, 16-Step Sequencer, Distortion Effects and 16-Voice Poly Chain

This thing is GREAT. I have played it to the point of exhaustion a couple times because it's just that fun. I don't have a 303 (or 3000 dollars to get one), but this is very much a worthy substitute. I also like that you can program in patterns using a computer or use an external sequencer or controller over MIDI. The distortion is a nice addition, but even better is the ability to use TD-3's filter with an outside audio source, but the unit will need to be running either with midi or the internal sequencer or you won't get sound out. The unit feels plastic-y but it was cheap and has a smiley face so I don't care. If you want to have fun making squeaky rubbery noises all night than I recommend the TD-3 (in yellow of course)

Thanks to its very cheddar yellow look, I've come to affectionately call the TD-3 my funky box of mac and cheese. Provides pretty flexible bass options for a solid price (paid $130usd). Has been great for someone like me who's new to the world of synths and didn't want to break the bank adding some fun new sounds.

so much fun ive never had more fun playing with all the knobs how incredible

Es un Synte con un sonido increíble, pero complicado de manejar y poco limitado, si lo pones esclavo de un modo te puede dar un poco de versatilidad

Acid forever!!! A clone of a classic for the price of a toy. Buy two or three. Great fun. Great sequencer. Fat analog acid baselines. Midi makes it sync well with friends. Can't recommend a better instrument for the price

I was sent the wrong color. It was supposed to be yellow however it does work

This lives up to the hype. The oscillators sound great. It’s foolproof setup for fat bass sounds. I never owned a real 303 but I used to play Rebirth 338 a lot and they nail the sound down so well that I want to grab an external keyboard to play basslines into my DAW. I think when the MO gets released I will also get one of those too.

Neat little box. Love the software that lets you edit patterns quickly and visually but also lets you have that old school feel if you want. Limited a amount of sounds and tweakability but all very good and usable within the right context. Perfect for people who want start with hardware synth but don't have a bunch of money. Cheap plastic enclosure so don't toss it around but for what it puts out it's still worth it. Thank you Uli and Co., for another cool budget box of audio fun.

First up let me say that i sequence this from another piece of kit, so i can't say much about the built in sequencer on this. But i have one friend who says that they have maybe been a little too faithful in copying most of the original 303, when they should probably have simplified that one aspect of it. . My only other criticisms of this would be that the plastic case does feel a bit cheap to the touch (though the original probably did too). And i would have liked this to have come with a USB cable included, since adding USB audio and MIDI is something more modern that they have seen fit to add (wisely, if you ask me). . But those quibbles aside, i have to say that if you are in the market for a cheap 303 clone then look no further. This is what you want. This just has FUN written all over it. Yes, it only makes the one sound, and that's it. But there have been times i've played with this for ages with no other sound running except a simple 4/4 kick drum loop. . The cutoff and resonance knobs do actually feel like they are built to withstand the kind of use and abuse that they are going to get. The built in distortion is good, but putting this through a cheap fuzzbox (and a little reverb) is even better. Overall the sound can not be faulted. . The main audio out is a single quarter inch jack on the back. But there is also a 3.5mm jack on the top for headphones. And apart from the USB there is also the standard 5 pin MIDI in and out sockets on the back. There is also a selection of other small jack in and out sockets on the top for things like CV and gate, but i have yet to try these. But the standard 5 pin MIDI works straight out of the box, taking it's signal from any hardware sequencer that i tried, no problem. Though it's worth mentioning that the default MIDI channel is 1, which took me a moment to figure out as i am more used to kit defaulting to 9, 10, or 11 (depending on what kind of thing it is). But once i did figure this out then we were up and running with no more hiccups. This also connected to my computer and DAW seamlessly. And within only a minute or so i was writing parts for it from my old iMac that's still running the outdated O.S. ''High Sierra''. . I know that there are probably some none music-making people who will think that spending his kind of money of something that just makes one sound is a stupid thing to do. But what do they know?! That this is as good as it is and comes under £300, even under £200, is mind blowing enough. But if you are not fussy about the colour then there are ones on here for even under £100, which is nothing short of incredible.

Es mi primer sintetizador y quede encantado. Hubo unos problemas por los impuestos de importación. Vivo en México y mi paquete acabo en una oficina postal. Tuve que pagar los impuestos yo e ir a recoger mi paquete, pero el vendedor fue muy atento y se me hizo el reembolso total de esto. Se que es muy raro que esto pase, pero tenía que documentarlo. En cuanto al producto, es de plástico, muy ligero, pero se ve y funciona increíble. Es un sintetizador famoso por su complejidad para usar la función de secuenciador, pero es algo muy fácil de dominar. El instructivo me llegó en japones (el paquete me llegó de Japón), pero en la página oficial encontré un instructivo completo y en diversos idiomas. Rápidamente sentí que me faltaban funciones, es un sintetizador básico, pero muy poderoso si le dedicas el tiempo suficiente, a veces menos es más, yo me puedo pasar horas jugando con el. Recomiendo mucho este sintetizador tan emblemático.

SYNTH BASS MOLTO BELLO E PRATICAMENTE UGUALE SIA ESTETICAMENTE CHE NELLE SUE VARIE FUNZIONI ALL'ORIGINALE ROLAND TB-303 , MA OVVIAMENTE MOLTO PIU' ECONOMICO.

Totally unreliable product. Went on through over 8 hours of troubleshooting to find out it’s defective. No reaction from Behringer customer support after submitting a detailed case
