I've had many people on my channel ask my the main differences between the Behringer TD-3 or Behringer Crave and which one I'd choose. I love them both and want to keep the Behringer Crave & TD-3 but will try to point out things that might make up your mind if you only want one of these devices.
Hope this helps some people - บันเทิง
If you want straight up acid bass lines get the td3. If you want something a little more versitile that can also serve as a gateway to eurorack get the crave. Or just embrace your GAS and get both.😀
I like both =)
GAS embraced. Bought the crave today
I think they both go well together 😎
@Satanic Panic Fun and Games I sequence my crave from my model samples via midi, works amazingly
The music at the start is fantastic. Depeche Mode Exciter vibes. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Excellent video, Todd! You really had your rig rocking in this one.
Nice to hear some great acid lines on the demos rather than the usual 4to the floor . Great vid throughout.
Love that opening groove
Glad you enjoyed it
I personally own both! And find they are each distinctive in their own way to be worth it. I couldn't part with either of them. Great video!
Well, I sold my td3 and bought another Crave. Never a backward glance.
Subscribed. Your channel is just awesome Todd.
Thanks for the support !
Thx for the clear understanding of the differences. Just bought the TD-3 and waiting for it to be delivered. Will definitely get the Crave next pay cheque! Do you like the Behringer RD-6 for beats? What drum machines do you prefer?
Just picked up my TD-3 off of Ebay. What effects are you running that TD-3 through on this video? And..love your style and your mixes
Daaayyyyyyy-um! Don't know how I missed this one for so long... BANGER!
I have a TD-3-MO and a Crave and use both simultaneously. I tend to use the TD-3 for the acid-y stuff and primarily use the arpegiattor on the Crave. The arpeggiator really rocks when jamming live, especially with external gating and further modulation with the LFO.
I have almost the same setup, but M32 instead of crave. Works beautifully
great comparison overall, what camera\lens are you using ?
Great jam! Looks fun!
Thanks for taking the time to check out the music/video !
This is a great video, this is the kind of advice I need as a beginner. Now a video is missing for budget synths that produce nice pad sounds and one for decent but affordable effects devices, that would be great. Take care, cuddle your cat from me and, as always, greetings from Germany.
Both which I own Microkorg and Blofeld are great for pads and you can find them for good prices used.
Pads? I agree that the Blofeld can sound HUGE and gorgeous for a very reasonable price.....especially in Germany. I ordered mine from Germany many years ago as it was far less expensive than in the US.
Other ideas for pads: An old Virus is excellent and reasonably priced. I bought a used Virus B several years ago for $400. While it is missing many of the bells and whistles of the newer Virus synths, its VA engine is the same and sounds great.
I like the sound of the newer Modal synths.....the Cobalt and the Argon, but I haven’t had the opportunity to try them out yet.
The key to good pads, are nice FX. The Virus has great FX, the Blofeld not so much. So keep that in mind when buying. The Virus FX can be used as you can run audio through it’s FX.
Good luck.
🤠 A mini-PC running Omnisphere. Anyway, pads are really just oscillators or samples with a real slow attack & decay time, using the LFOs for modulation.
Hey Todd
Great video. Great jam with the TD-3. It sounded like it needs to be in a James Bond movie. I have the TD-3 in red. Love it's sound. The Crave I'm getting soon. But then again I want all that Behringer is throwing at us. After the holidays, I'm going all out.
Great music, man!
I have a Crave. I can just about do the 303 stuff on my Bass Station II. My only issue is I bought the Crave used and it came with no patch cables. Right now I'm having to borrow the cables from my Minibrute 2S. (I was planning to sell the 2S and put the money towards either a Micro or Minifreak.) Gotta order some cables.
What programs are you using on your iPads? I have an iPad I use for school that I’d like to use alongside my td3 what kind of set up would I need?
Korg gadget on one and auria pro on the other
Hi! Can you sync the alesis sr16 drum machine via midi with the crave sequencer? Because i noticed a bit of lag when the TD3 sequencer is triggered via midi with the alesis sr16? Thanks
I dunno, man, I bought 2 of each. Both sound amazing AND they're great utility pieces, in a lot of useful ways. Cheers to GAS!!
Gas is getting expensive lol. But this is a good price🙏💜🐈
@@New_Zealand_Music GAS is still cheaper than gas 😀
I just got my 2 first Behringer synths last week. I got the K2 and the Wasp. The K2 is just insane, you should consider it, it's like the Pro1 big brother that dropped out of school and joined a biker gang. The Wasp is cool to, the overdriven saturated buzzy filter sounds like nothing else but is not as versatile as a model D a pro-1 or a K2. I'm waiting impatiently for the PRO-800 to complete the trio.
I use MS20 a lot within Korg Gadget so K2 is most def on the list for future synths
If I didn't already have an MS-20 Mini I'd for sure consider a K2. The MS-20 is my go-to.
Great vid!
what do u think about mix between both of them?
That's some good music Todd!
I ran my TD-3 to drive my Model D via midi and then ran the TD-3 through the audio in on the Model D. Needless to say I got some pretty fat sounds out of them. As soon as I make time to get something set up studio wise I'm going to post some videos. I love that Analog is back!! Keep the videos coming my friend!!
I have the Roland TB3 so I have all the acid I need. It's totally a one trick pony, but the used market was kind to me so no regerts. I'm definitely intrigued by the Crave and all the fun patching opportunities to make my Neutron angry. Keep up the good work :)
Man, that's sick!
Thank you !
How did you get your TD-3 to read notes sent from an external sequencer? I can get it to clock synch fine, but I can’t get it to read notes sent from my MPC.
It’s making me crazy.
Hmm , did you figure it out?
I had a crave, and even though it feels more sturdy those little switches broke and I ended up returning it and getting a PRO-1 instead. I liked the Crave a lot, but those dinky little switches break if you use them performatively like I like to. And I wasn't like yanking on them or anything just using them. I've punished my Model D much harder. That thing is SOLID. Just the feel of it in a music store is partly why I got it.
Beat me to it.
I think we agree pretty much on the sound aspect but the real difference between the 2 is the sequencer on the Crave. There are some cool tricks you can do with the Crave sequencer that just can't be done on the TD-3 though to be fair both are tricky to sequence in the box. The crave probably being slightly easier to work with in general.
I wasn’t sure which one to get....so I bought both
Still waiting for my td3😁🙌😎. Hopefully be here by birthday lol
I'm sure you'll love it when it arrives =)
@@toddsmithmusic3172 ooooo yessss hehe
Just subscribed 😌🥳
Welcome my friend.
@@toddsmithmusic3172 I have both synths 😀🥳
Yeah the td3 looks like fun. But you're definitely right the Crave is far more versatile. Thank you for your video. And definitely they're both very good. Do you think the td3 is a step up from a Volca, or sideways, as it were. Cheers
Nice Dark Intro!!!!
Thanks! 😁
And it is never complete without a touch of Neutron.
I got the sounds of the td3 from the crave pretty fast but the td3 is very limited to bass ala 303 sounds.
Crave keep surprising me
How did you connect the ipad?
Via audio interface
What effect are you using
I would have to listen again but pretty sure it would be fab filter pro R and Timeless 2
Read my Mind……. I’ve got a TD-3 and thinking maybe a second for weird counter melodic basslines OR the Crave which while Double the price seems ALOT better made. Would love a TD3 Ultra with a sheet metal body
I would go with the Crave and get a Cyclone tt-303 which has more squelch and doesn't have that Weird resonant filter sound that the td-3 has, which the Roland tb-303 hasn't.
Both?
Other than them both being mono synths why are they similar? The Crave I think is much more similar to the malekko manther.
They are unique enough to justify both in my opinion
@@toddsmithmusic3172 I think I could justify just about every synth
I guess would compare the TD-3 to the Mother 32?
If I had to choose I'd got for the crave as it can do the acidy stuff and trancy stuff plus other things I'm about to get a crave well I'm tied between the crave or the Roland j6 to add to my set up I might just get the j6 as iv already got a couple mono synths I think the j6 will complement the novation circuit rhythm more plus I have the t8 but I will probably get the crave in the feature
Both👊
I will get them both.:)
Did you get both ?
@@toddsmithmusic3172 yep and the model d too🙂
Just purchase 2 of each...😜😎😎 Man luv these 🔥🔥
Glad you like them!
Please make a video crave vs werkstatt
Both, simple
I'd have to pull you up on what you say re: the TD-3 versus the original 303. Yes, they are both made of plastic, but I don't think it's fair to say that that the TD's build is 'the same' as the original. Obviously, the original 303s have stood the test of time and that I suspect that the TD-3s will have trouble lasting that long due to their budget nature. Don't get me wrong - I have a TD-3 myself - but I'd never say that it was 'the same' as an original 303 or call the original 'cheap'. That's' just the way Roland gear was in the early 80s. Remember - it's 40 years old...
It was very cheap. Disagree with your thinking
Yes, that cheap piece of plastic and boards became a classic in electronic music but it was still light and built cheap
I have MANY cheap things that lasted the test of time.
@4:24 = perfection!
Thanks for checking it out !
@@toddsmithmusic3172 No problem, I find myself coming back to this one!!! it's so good!!!
Both, duh
😂😂😂
Crave is a lot more versatile but td3 has better sequencer.
You talk too much mate
Haters gonna hate 😂😂
