Common TD 3 Questions
How do I sync the TD-3 to my DAW via MIDI?
Connect the TD-3's MIDI IN to your audio interface's MIDI OUT. Then, in your DAW, select the MIDI output device that corresponds to your audio interface and configure your MIDI track to send clock messages to the TD-3 (usually MIDI channel 1).
How do I save my patterns, and are there any presets I can use as starting points?
The TD-3 does not allow for saving patterns directly to onboard memory. You'll need to record the sequence output into your DAW. The TD-3 does come with pre-loaded patterns, and these can be selected/auditioned by pressing any key on the keyboard in step mode.
What do all the knobs and switches on the TD-3 actually do?
The TD-3's knobs control parameters like Accent, Cutoff, Resonance, Envelope Depth, Decay, and Tempo. The switches allow selection of waveform, filter mode (low-pass or high-pass), and sequencer mode.
My TD-3 isn't making any sound, even though it's powered on. What should I check?
First, ensure the volume knob is turned up and that the cutoff frequency isn't completely closed. Also, make sure you have a sequencer pattern loaded and running or that you are triggering notes via MIDI.
What is the 'Accent' feature on the TD-3 and how does it affect the sound?
The Accent feature boosts the volume and brightness of notes in the sequence. Use the Accent knob to adjust the amount of boost, allowing you to add emphasis and rhythmic variation to your sequences.
