Review: Does just one thing, but does it so very well. - 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 And within only a minute or so i was writing parts for it from my old iMac that's still running the outdated O.S. ''High Sierra''.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.
Review: A well made clone of a classic - I own a few 303 clones, and this Behringer TD-3 punches well above the price tag, especially when desertcart is selling them for £85. Many people are a little hesitant about the onboard sequencer, but it is true to the original '80s design, a little annoying to use at first, but really not that hard. Besides, you can program it via the free SynthTribe software provided on their site. Having MIDI in/out is a massive bonus compared to the original that only had DINSync and this one has a built-in Boss DS-1 style distortion. All these added extras just make it more appealing, and you can do MIDI over USB as well, along with any potential firmware updates. The sound is pretty much what you would expect from a 303, and I've used plenty of original '80s ones to know that they all sound a little different anyway. You can unscrew this TD-3 and mess with the factory filter setting if you want to dial it I too taste, plus once you have EQ'd it and added effects it will sit really nicely in the mix. Overall, a bit of a bargain at well under £100 for a slice of classic mono synth, and 'that filter' is a lot of fun.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it play nicely with Ableton?**
A: it  plays fine on logic pro X and my akai mpc one so should be fine with any D.a.w  including ableton live

**Q: New to this... can you use this on recording software on a laptop for example Ableton or FL studio?**
A: Yes, you can control it via MIDI from your software. You will need to get a USB to MIDI interface and the appropriate cables. The manual will tell you how to assign its MIDI channel.

**Q: Do you a computer to use this**
A: No, a PC is not required.

**Q: Is the audio output from the back stereo or mono?  I plugged my headphones in and it was only mono and wondering if its faulty.**
A: Hi- the rear output is mono (the whole thing is mono), but if you use the 3.5mm front headphone socket, you get sound out of both headphones. It's still mono (same signal both sides), but it does come out of both sides.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Total Mojo
*by K***N on 19 January 2023*

Now I know how this little box inspired an entirely new genre of music!...Endless sweet spot sounds; sure it's only does one sound but what a sound...it just oozes groove, effortlessly fizzing, bubbling, squelching and bending with pure musicality....it just can't sound bad and often sounds divine....Easier to use than I was expecting. The sequencer is a bit different but it's totally fine and actually I quite like it...Built quality is fine - the knobs feel good. Took me 20mins to midi sync it to my other hardware and knock out a pattern that literally transformed a track I'd been working on from mundane to rocking....🙂
