Behringer TD-3-AM Yellow 5-stars Reviews

Nasty Acid Stuff

For this price point the synthesiser looks great. I was looking for some techno sounds to be used in modern live techno setup, linked via midi with all the other gear. At first the synth looks kinda complicated to program but after a couple of hours it becomes easy. All the patterns work great. The filter is the typical you would expect from the 303. Then, the Distortion integrated makes it even more nasty, works great.

Of course, if you are interested in this piece of gear, you already know what sound are you looking for. And with this, totally worth it. Sound on point. Another great gear by Behringer.

classic sound

amazing bass sounds really goes a long way when using with different synths and filters would easily recommend this to anyone wanting that acid/90s house sound

acid heaven

a must have in your set up. Simple effective true to its sound and unbeatable on price. You don't need me to tell you over 500 words all this box can do invest in it and have so much fun. I would like an LED monitor of some sorts for writing the steps as I have to reset but once i part counting I was on top of that. the distortion unit is fantastic and really nice authentic sound. Overall extremely happy with this box light portable sound is unbelievable and a super price. Unleash your inner josh wink

Awesome acid box!

Chic acid sound at a low price. This baby is a favorite of my setup. The build is excellent for this price. A little backlash on the encoders, but this is not problematic. The buttons are pressed with a characteristic click, which is not very convenient at home at night, when my family is sleeping. Clicking on the whole apartment. But all the disadvantages are covered by the low price and excellent analog acid sound. The design of the instrument perfectly diversifies the interior of any studio or apartment. Attracts attention. Convenient function of working with a computer via USB, you can program patterns, but I honestly don’t use it, as I prefer to use the programming method independently. The distortion built into the TD-3 "eats up" the low frequencies a little, so I prefer to use third-party overdrive. It will perfectly complement the delay or rever tool, which, unfortunately, is not included in the package.

Good clone

Just like the real one, sequencing might be tricky sometimes but the Behringer software helps with resolving this issue

Great value

Great 303 machine for a price of a VST. Recommend it to anyone who is looking for that acid sound.

Pros:

-price

-great sound, really deep

-really nice paint scheme

-price

-USB connectivity

-price

Cons:

-plastic build so it might feel a bit cheap (but it is still quite sturdy)

No brainer

I was about to buy the original again as I was an owner of one in the past. I am happy I didnt because this one does the job great. The only difference I have spotted is that the cutoff filter is not that strong as the original one but again for this price, this machine is amazing. The plastic is a bit too much but again the original is plastic too. I love the color and the fact that has midi, usb and cv. Look no further.

great!!

Looks cool (yellow) and sounds cool :) ACID!!

Amazing!

I always dreamed about TB-303 but all the replicas that existed before TD-3 were quite expensive. This one is in a perfect price range and the build quality is simply amazing! If you need 303 this is it!

So much fun

What can i say about the best clone of the legendary 303, for a price that made me buy 2. You cannot have enough 303's!

It's light but solid built. The software editor is for people that do not want to get into the copy Behringer made of the original editor. I must say it's a bit weird when you use it for the first time. Jumping through the pattern is can be tricky since there is no indication at what point in the pattern you are. But.... it was the same with the original. Yes it's hard to program if you don't use the software. But the quality is just excellent, it's really good! And the price is insane.

Love it!

Updated handling which makes programming patterns a breeze, including using it as a midi-synth in my DAW. Hit hard = accent is applied. Love it!

The buttons feels great and everything is like I wish the original was.

The built in distortion is really fun and the small differences in the sound is neglectable.

Well worth the money! Might buy a new color just for fun....

Great sound quality, although the distortion lowers the signal a bit. Lots of fun.

The 303 sound on a budget

I bought the TD3 along with the RD6 and it's really nice product for the price its a little bit complicated to make a pattern but you can watch tutorials on youtube and figure out how it works, the sound is amazing like a classic 303 the distortion effect make the difference, you can download the Behringer SynthTool app and create or save patterns and make settings easy but the most thing i like most its that you can connect it to the computer with usb or midi and sync with the DAW or work it like a midi controller and add every sound you like from any VST software! i have made a Youtube video about unboxing how to connect it check it out! 🙂✌

I wonder how limited the limited edition actually is

So, i bought this, and keep it in the box because of the limited edition, but it keeps being sold everywhere ... so i dare to say that this is not so limited as you would think

fault in F#

I received it with a defective F# key

but will be replaced

worth the money

303%

Killer acid box

I’ve had a bunch of other clones but only the Behringer one can stand up to the original 303. And for this price? It’s rave-o-lution!

For that less money , you will get a very fine analogic Bass designer, look great , souns perfect , so I'll give 5 stars !

A beautiful yellowbox

I have always wanted to own and be able to use a TB303 in my music for approx 30 years! the desire never went away , I missed the first round has money was very tight in the recession hit 80`s. So heads up to 2020 and Behringer have done exactly what a progressive music manufacturer should and recreated the "magic box" exactly and then some ! Since receiving mine a few weeks ago , I have had the time (due to the virus) to forensically learn the instrument inside out and although it inherits the much written about sequencer which can be regarded has a very big plus or a minus depending on your viewpoint , in 2020 it doesn`t matter because the USB and synth app supplied takes care of the "mad" button programming many used with the old Roland unit . You can plan and write some very structured musical basslines that sound incredible. The factory sequences are just that , they do not allow the little box to show off but I found an increasing amount of custom sequence packages on the net at very low cost , they became my templates for learning the art of programming this unassuming beast of a box. Mine is now complete with 64 dance ready basslines and with the inclusion of the A/B structure of the pattern play you can alter the main bassline A ever so slightly and program it into B and instantly have those iconic changes in emphasis and dynamics that make a killer techno or house tune . I have a Roland TR-3 and owned it for a good few years and if I was asked to compare the units It would not even come close, the TR-3 was a design experiment for Roland and they forgot about the end user whilst building it , It can sound good in a track but in comparison with the Behringer it is quite pedestrian, it is the sound of the unit that lets it down although full of presets the sound mangling that is so intuitive with the Behringer is just not there . There is no envelope to tweak (big mistake) so it will not sing like an actual bird ! unlike the Behringer . So in summary Behringer have it the jackpot with this well connected clone of the original TB303, the fact it is faithful to the electronics and is squarely analogue and is fully open ended due to its USB and MIDI capabilities , so programming killer basslines will become quite a lucrative cottage industry. The price which I have not mentioned thus far is another gift for a gift that just keep giving . All in all buying a TD-3 is a complete no- brainer everyone should own one , like back in the day these things usually sold in two`s because house and techno back in the eighties used to double up the bass to create more complexity .

Behringer TD-3-AM Yellow review.

First or all I use this machine in a techno set up;

Compared to the original Roland TB 303, the sound is slightly more thinner in the Behringer TD -3, hardly felt when playing along with other sounds, the materials are way cheaper, hence the low price, but it does have a wonderful new feature, which is the USB connection, now being able to set up sequences much easier via a computer. The distortion is another new feature which personally I don't like, having a very digital sound feeling.

If you like having acid sounds in your mix but don't have the money, this machine gives out the best 303 like sounds, the impact of the cheapness being directed to the materials used, poor quality plastics, cheap knobs, and buttons and having very little to no impact on the sound.

For me, the most important feature is the sound, which is straight on ACID, on the other hand, the materials for the build could represent a problem, but considering the price, I'm happy it comes in an enclosed box, as for this range of pricing you find in DIY synth kits, which only offer the electrical unsoldered parts of the machines, so having such a cheap machine sound so expensive is a real treat.

Just good old fun

Produces great Basslines and that classic acid feel by crunching up the resonance and cut off. Programming a little dated but easy to pick up and within 5mins (get a YouTube video, forget the manual) you’ll have a squelching acid line to screw your face up to.

Loads of fun, and for this price what are you waiting for?

I use in a dawless set up and run midi clock from a Circuit and it Syncs great.
