TD-3-SR : Close But No Cigar

6 years ago

What can you say for that fantastic price and the added features!

Still.. a rave rview is not always 5 stars.

Starting with the sound... I plugged it into a pair of large amplified computer speakers, routing it - and a TB-303 - through separate but equal tracks on a DAW. My wife called the sound faat when I asked her how do you like it? Then I switched on the TB-303, not the same settings and pattern because this wasn't a pre-planned test and she called the saound "3-D and organic". This is from someone who is not into Acid and is not a synth head in any way. The TD3 sounds great but a little less so when a TB-303 is right next to it. Also the distortion is a bit disappointing, especially in the highs where it loses volume fast.

But hey, can I really complain when this also has USB MIDI, and pattern ediiting?! I do wish it aIso had CV and GATE IN and maybe a few more patch points. In which case I'd happily pay a bit more. Imagine patching a few of these together with a few Craves.. or a Neutron.. SICK!
