TD-3 Getting started
Step 3: Getting started
(EN)
OVERVIEW
This 'getting started' guide will help you set up the
TD-3 analog bass line synthesizer and briefly introduce
its capabilities.
CONNECTION
To connect the TD-3 to your system, please consult the
connection guide earlier in this document.
SOFTWARE SETUP
The TD-3 is a USB Class Compliant MIDI device,
and so no driver installation is required. The TD-3
does not require any additional drivers to work
with Windows and MacOS.
HARDWARE SETUP
Make all the connections in your system. Keep the TD-3
power turned off when making any connections.
Use only the supplied power adapter for the TD-3.
Ensure your sound system is turned down.
Turn on the TD-3 before turning on any power amplifiers,
and turn it off last. This will help prevent any turn on or turn
off "pops or thumps" in your speakers.
WARM UP TIME
We recommend leaving 15 minutes or more time for the
TD-3 to warm up before recording or live performance.
(Longer if it has been brought in from the cold.) This will
allow the precision analog circuits time to reach their
normal operating temperature and tuned performance.
SETTING SYNC and CLOCK TYPE
Selector switches 1, 2, 3, or 4 represent clock source INT,
MIDI, USB, or TRIG respectively
Selector switches 5, 6, 7, or 8 represent clock rate 1PPs,
2PPQ, 24PPQ, or 48PPQ respectively
1. Press Function.
2. Make sure no sequence is playing.
3. Press BACK and WRITE/NEXT at the same time to
enter Sync setting mode.
4. Selector 1 to 8 LEDs will turn on, and the current
clock source (1 to 4) and clock rate (5 to 8) will flash,
you have about 3 seconds to make any changes.
5. Press Selector 1, 2, 3, or 4 to change the clock source
to INT, MIDI, USB, or TRIG respectively
6. Press Selector 5, 6, 7, or 8 to change the clock rate to
1PPs, 2PPQ, 24PPQ, or 48PPQ respectively.
7. Press any other buttons or after no changes for a
3 seconds, the changes are saved.
8. Repeat step 3 to check your selection.
Caution: Clock source must always be INT (internal) if
you are not using an external clock. Note: Clock rate 24 or
48 PPQ (Pulses per quarter) are recommended.
TUNING
To quickly start making sounds with your TD-3, use the
tuning feature as follows. Note that in this mode, the notes
are transposed one octave higher.
1. Make sure the VOLUME is turned down.
2. Set the MODE switch to PATTERN PLAY.
3. Press and hold down the PITCH MODE switch and
then press the PATTERN 6 switch (note A).
4. Now, each time you press WRITE/NEXT, you will hear
this note in your headphones or speakers. Adjust the
VOLUME level to a comfortable listening level.
5. Use the TUNE control to adjust the output frequency
to exactly 220 Hz. The frequency can be adjusted up
or down, and allow fine tuning to other instruments.
6. To tune to other notes instead of A, press and hold
PITCH MODE and then the desired note.
7. Now that the TD-3 can make sounds, you can
experiment with the synthesizer controls, and the
distortion, and listen to the effects on the sound.
