Behringer TD-3-BK

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 And within only a minute or so i was writing parts for it from my old iMac that's still running the outdated O.S. ''High Sierra''.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.

Behringer has done a great job

Great 303 clone synthesizer.

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.

Hab den Behringer TD-3 nun seit 2 Wochen in Benutzung und bin soweit zufrieden. Für den Preis wirklich empfehlenswert. Man blickt schnell durch, hier und da helfen YouTube-Videos weiter. Das Gehäusematerial und die Knöpfe sind allerdings aus recht günstigem Plastik was man sieht, spürt und auch hört (die Druckknöpfe klacken durch das hohle Gehäuse recht laut). Das beeinträchtigt jedoch in keinster Weise die gute Bedienbarkeit. Irgendwo muss der Preis ja herkommen. 😉 Man bekommt dafür einen Low-Price Bassline Synthesizer, mit einem Sound, den man mindestens erst im Mid-Price segment erwarten würde. Wer mit solchen Gerätschaften schon geliebäugelt hat kann sich hier getrost mal was gönnen. Wenns einem dann halt doch nicht liegt hat man nicht erst unnötig viel Geld investieren müssen. Er tut was er soll sehr gut, ohne Extrawürste oder Schnickschnack. (Der zuschaltbare Distortion-Effekt sollte dennoch Erwähnung finden. Klingt echt nice. 👌) War lange skeptisch bei Behringer-Produkten aber für den Preis hab ich es einfach mal gewagt und bin bis jetzt nicht enttäuscht. Preis/Leistung stimmt auf jeden Fall. 👍👍
