Behringer TD-3: Arpeggiator? Here it is – mesmerizing …

Without doubt the Behringer TD-3 is one of the best TB-clones available, but one important question remains: where is the advertised Arpeggiator and how does a TB-typical Arpeggio sound? In this video I try to give an answer ;) Enjoy!

Gear used

Sound: Behringer TD-3 BU/RD, Roland TR-8

You find the Python script here:

Of course someone from Germany came up with the solution! You guys breathe acid technology. <3 Acid wars

That track is sick I been using a Td3 BB and a Korg Volca nubass. Your track has given me some ideas keep making em I'll keep watching

Very interesting approach! Receiving my second TD-3 today can't wait to try out some weird hacks! Subbed!

[ManCalledMif]

mind expanding demo. beautiful sounds. so glad i bought two: a TD-3 and a TB-03. couldn't decide which was better so bought both

Super clear and informative, thanks Pete, greetings from Berlin !

Hi Pete. Your channel is truly unique . Could Blokas Midihub replace the Raspbery/ Phytonscypt and achieve the same thing???

i have a volca kick that i want to use as a lead in tandem with my transparent blue td-3 i'm waiting for. This is.. perfect!

[EverettVinzant]

I totally understand if you don’t want to provide the Python script. I’d like to try the same thing with a set of Craves. I have everything else except the python you used. Just wondering if it’s possible to get access to it?

[KrisCadwell]

Mine seems to have an issue where once triplet mode is engaged on a pattern, it can't be turned off. Trying to do it with the software just makes the software crash. I have to clear or randomize the pattern. Anyone else know about this?

[gaborpetroci]

At last someone made a proper melodies and tweak with these little beasts!

[owenaitken]

Can you program a arpeggios in manually, note by note?

As the owner of a bunch of Behringer instruments - their clones as well as originals - it frustrates me how misleading their marketing is and uninformative their manuals are. The instruments themselves are fantastic, but they only play into the hands of the Gearslutz snobs with their misleading feature descriptions and incomplete quick start guides that accompany the instruments themselves.

Seems like a lot of cables. You ever try a micro Korg and a kaos pad.
