Behringer TD-3 / Roland TB-303 Cheat Sheet

Added 2022-10-08 10:19:30 +0000 UTC

Here's our Cheat Sheet for one of the worst sequencers ever created: The Behringer TD-3 / Roland TB-303. With this you should be ready to face every obstacle this box throws at you ;) Behringer's manual is lacking to say the least, so among other sources I've also studied Roland's TB-303 manual from 1981 - which is truly horribly written but ultimately provided a lot of insight.

You'll be happy to hear that we're currently filming an episode on the 303 sequencer visualizing the programming in detail :) If you want to see a visualization of how song mode works then you should take a look at our Behringer RD-6 Deep Dive video where The Intern and I reenact everything ourselves using cardboard, tape and a wooden skewer.

We hope this will be useful to you. If anything should be unclear, if you find an error or you feel like something is missing just drop us a line - either here in the comments or via PM. Click here to see a list of all Captain Pikant Cheat Sheets.
