Great tutorial- and some lovely acid sounds sequenced on the TD3- I like how you set things up to add fills and changes, too. I'm just trying to get to grips with my Digitakt (I had a Novation circuit then a circuit tracks, so the Elektron workflow is new to me).
It appears that my digitakt isn't sending gate off info to my td-3; it will play one note at full volume and any subsequent notes will play, but volume fades out quickly and then no more notes will play. Play with note length and volume doesn't make any changes. Have you encountered this? Thanks in advance!
I had gotten pretty quick with my keystep connected to the digitakt. Thankfully I can still route midi from the digitakt to whichever synth via the force usb. I wanted an analogue four after watching your set lol
@@avrilcadabra The analog four is my favorite synth! And I do have a few as you know :) Including the TD-3 and a digitone. No digitakt but that might change one day
@@Expectaz I am still figuring out how make use of the force and digitakt together. I might make a seperate setup for chiptune when I get my commodore 64 here. P.s your set was my fave from clownfest. Killed it
Hello thx. It works for me until 1:40. I can play with DT keyboard, but in the midi sequencer, it’s over. Doesn’t work. Do you know why ?… Before, it was working
Great vid this. I don't have your set up and just want to use the td3 with my digitakt, I can get my head round the midi but the audio I'm stuck on. Do I have to get a mixer or can I route audio from td3 into my digitakt? Thank you 😁
Cool! Do you know if you can send control changes from the digitakt to the TD3? In live recording from digitakt for exemple open cutoff or add resonance for steps? Thanks
These original TD3's don't support CC, the newer Devilfish style modded one does have CC on cutoff but not sure it can do the classic sounds or how well it works. Pretty much just got to get hands on with the cutoff while recording with TD3 and 303, The Roland TB-3 and TB-03 both support CC on Cutoff and Res though.
BTW, the analog rytm lets me control sound only from internal, i want to control td3 sound from external that means, i want to sequence td3 from analog rytm but i want to control sound using td3 knobs :(, vcan u help me ?
thanks for the video, I have a problem with my td3 though I cannot play the slide with the digitakt... :/ I have the last firmware update but I cannot play legato with the digitakt, any idea where to look to fix this?
Great stuff..! Do you know what preset you were using on the zoom.? If it was a custom do you know what effects were running please. Great sound going to try sequence my 303 and mother 32 now... Peace..!
I had half finished a little video About that. I should finish it. But basically use the FILL trig conditions. As long as you are not in sequence editing mode page button will cause FILL notes to play
You can set tracks 9 to 16 to be whatever midi channel you want. So I usually have about 4 tracks going to same midi channel and so I can switch between them
For me it doesnt really Work Out. The TD3 still plays the Programmed Pattern and i dont know why. Its on Beat but i want to use the sequencer of the digitakt to Control the td3.
Make sure the digitakt isn't sending midi transport. Should be in the digitakt settings. Or change the clock source on the td3 probably should stop it auto playing as well
@@Dedabile new update of the digitakt last week. It can now audio process two inputs (L + R) with delay, reverb and its integrated compressor. Check it out !!
THANK YOU!! Got it working perfectly on my Digitakt! Do you have any idea how I can get my Digitone in Sync with both devices as well? I'm going crazy! LOL! Cheers!!!
I do not have a digitone , I know the digitakt filters out aftertouch and pitchbend (not a big deal on a TD3), anyway, Digitone as main controller, connect its midi out to digitakt midi in, make sure its only sending midi clock not notes to digitakt. Then control you can make sowhen you change pattern on digitone the digitakt will follow, then have digitakt set up like my video, it should be passing the clock from the digitone to the td3. you could do it different ways if you introduced midi splitters and usb midi etc. hopefully that works
hi, I am completely new to this MIDI stuff. I have connected the midi cable as you said, but i dont seem to get any sound coming on the digitaktt although I followed exactly what you said..
great tutorial, this helps a lot!

Thanks digitakt is great. You will build up muscle memory and be zooming around the controls soon
incredibly helpful 🙏
Thank you so much for the video!!!

Hola Puedo conectar un controlador midi al synth y poder tocar desde ahi los efectos y notas sin computadora? Gracias
Yes, this is golden! I use it on the force like that but on the digitakt it’s way more fun to sequence

@@avrilcadabra Thx!!! That’s a great idea. I will also have a second set to create different kind of music. Does keep things interesting 😉

Make sure the trigs at set to C-5, the default might be out of range of the td3
Happy new year Avrilcadabra 🥳😷🤒🤬🤫🤭
Thanks SmokusS you too. Hopefully 2021 is better!

You certainly can run td3 audio into the digitakt and use it's fx also!
@@avrilcadabra brilliant, thanks avril.

@@avrilcadabra thanks you talk about the new TD3 MO from Behringer?
🙏🏻👍🏼Thank you!

I don't have analog rytm but it should be same/close to this video, what bit are you stuck on
@@avrilcadabra im saying that i want to hear my sound of td 3 on analog rytm, by using td3 knobs
thanks for the video, I have a problem with my td3 though I cannot play the slide with the digitakt... :/ I have the last firmware update but I cannot play legato with the digitakt, any idea where to look to fix this?
I found the answer actually the multi trigger was on and the key priority was set to low
Glad you sorted it. Thanks for posting the answer
Great stuff..! Do you know what preset you were using on the zoom.?
If it was a custom do you know what effects were running please.
Great sound going to try sequence my 303 and mother 32 now...
Peace..!
thanks looks like it was just "Arena Reverb" , the intro track definitely has delay on it also.
What a cool tutorial, thank you. How do you manage to get that snare roll pressing the page button? Thanks for the help my friend 🤜🤛
Thanks. That is the Fill function. I should do a video on that
Great video, really curious, how did you assign the snare roll to page ?
I had half finished a little video About that. I should finish it. But basically use the FILL trig conditions. As long as you are not in sequence editing mode page button will cause FILL notes to play
I'm confused how you switched patterns. Are tracks 9-16 basically midi tracks with different notes? Are they all different midi channels?
You can set tracks 9 to 16 to be whatever midi channel you want. So I usually have about 4 tracks going to same midi channel and so I can switch between them
@@avrilcadabra interesting. I wonder if I can do this same idea on the octatrack.
For me it doesnt really Work Out. The TD3 still plays the Programmed Pattern and i dont know why. Its on Beat but i want to use the sequencer of the digitakt to Control the td3.

Freaking awesome man \m/
Awesome! Now can I send the sound from the td3 through the digitakt effects somehow? havent found this option yet
THANK YOU
The Digitone can do this I believe but not the Digitakt sadly
@@avrilcadabra thats too bad :( thank you!

do you know if td-3 can do cc midi stuff?
it does respond to sysex commands but not CC sadly.
Nice! Is it possible to control the filter also with the Digitakt? That would be awesome 😎
It has some sysex over usb but not midi din, as far as I can you cannot send the filter CC messages, shame the digitakt is good at it.
Hello. Please ca' we have thé same vidéo plus vocal for Google traduction ? Please. Thank you. Mike
Is it possible to use the Digitakt LFO's to modulate parameters on the TD-3?
The td-3 has no midi cc support, I believe the MO version has a cc for cutoff, for full CC support will need to look elsewhere
Beautiful acid there, loved it
Thank you. This was bits from a track "this trip" that there is a full video of if you want to hear the full song
What mixer are you using?
Behringer qx1202usb
thx
hi, I am completely new to this MIDI stuff. I have connected the midi cable as you said, but i dont seem to get any sound coming on the digitaktt although I followed exactly what you said..
I have my digitakt and td-3 going into a mixer. If you don't have a mixer you will have to run the td-3 into the digitakt input and turn monitoring.
Tbh wish green and purple were active colors. They are the prettiest features of a digitakt lol
Sorry, just got one, super intimated, barely following tutorials on yt. Yours help tho :)
I do like the purple. Sometimes I use it just because
