Behringer TD-3 Analog Bas Line Synthesizer Brugermanual

1. Introduktion

This manual provides detailed instructions for the setup, operation, maintenance, and troubleshooting of your Behringer TD-3 Analog Bass Line Synthesizer. Please read this manual thoroughly to ensure proper use and to maximize the performance of your instrument.

The Behringer TD-3 is an analog bass line synthesizer designed to produce classic electronic music sounds. It features an all-analog signal path, a 16-step sequencer, and a resonant low-pass filter.

2. Opsætning

2.1 Udpakning

Carefully remove the TD-3 from its packaging. Retain the packaging materials for future transport or storage.

2.2 Strømtilslutning

Connect the included DC power adapter to the 'DC IN' port on the rear panel of the TD-3. Plug the adapter into a suitable power outlet. Ensure the power switch is in the 'OFF' position before connecting power.

2.3 Lydforbindelser

• Hovedoutput: Connect the 'OUTPUT' jack (1/4" TS) on the rear panel to your mixer, audio interface, or amplivligere.
• Hovedtelefoner: Connect headphones to the 'PHONES' jack (1/4" TRS) on the front panel for private monitoring. Adjust the 'VOLUME' knob to a comfortable listening level.

2.4 MIDI/USB Connections

• MIDI ind/ud: Use standard 5-pin DIN MIDI cables to connect the 'MIDI IN' and 'MIDI OUT' ports to other MIDI devices for synchronization or control.
• USB: Connect the USB port to a computer for MIDI control and firmware updates.

2.5 CV/Gate Connections

The TD-3 features 'CV OUT' and 'GATE OUT' jacks (3.5mm TS) for integration with modular synthesizers and other analog control voltage equipment. These outputs transmit pitch and gate information from the sequencer.

3. Operating the TD-3

3.1 Tænd

After all connections are made, switch the 'POWER' button on the rear panel to the 'ON' position. The unit will power up.

3.2 kontroller overview

The TD-3's front panel is divided into several sections:

• VCO (bindtage Kontrolleret oscillator): Controls the basic sound waveform and pitch.
• VCF (bindtage Kontrolleret filter): Former lydens klangfarve.
• Kuvert: Controls the decay of the filter.
• Sekvenser: Programs and plays musical patterns.
• Forvrængning: Adds overdrive to the sound.
• Bind: Justerer det samlede outputniveau.

3.3 VCO Section

• TUNE: Adjusts the overall pitch of the oscillator.
• BØGEFORM: Selects between Sawtooth (bright, rich harmonics) and Square (hollow, reedy) waveforms.

3.4 VCF Section

• SKÆRE AF: Sets the frequency at which the filter begins to attenuate higher frequencies.
• RESONANS: Emphasizes frequencies around the cutoff point, creating a 'wah' effect at higher settings.
• KUVERT: Controls the amount of filter envelope modulation applied to the cutoff frequency.
• HENFALD: Determines the length of the filter envelope's decay phase.
• ACCENT: Controls the intensity of the accent effect on notes.

3.5 Sequencer-drift

The TD-3 features a powerful 16-step sequencer for creating bass lines.

• MODE-omskifter: Selects between 'WRITE' (for programming patterns) and 'PLAY' (for playing patterns or tracks).
• TRACK/PATTERN Selector: In 'PLAY' mode, choose between playing a single 'PATTERN' or a 'TRACK' (a chain of patterns). In 'WRITE' mode, select 'TRACK' to edit a track or 'PATTERN' to edit a pattern.
• PATTERN GROUP: Selects one of four groups (I, II, III, IV), each containing 8 patterns (1-8).
• TID: Justerer sequencerens afspilningshastighed.
• START / STOP: Initiates or halts sequencer playback.
• WRITE/NEXT: Used to confirm steps during pattern writing or to advance to the next step.
• PITCH MODE: Selects the input source for pitch information (INT for internal keyboard, MIDI, USB, TRIG for external trigger).
• TIDSTILSTAND: Sets the clock resolution for external synchronization (1PPS, 2PPQ, 24PPQ, 48PPQ).
• FUNKTION Taster: These buttons (DEL, INS, CH, COPY, PASTE, TRANSPOSE, ACCENT, SLIDE) perform various editing functions within the sequencer.
• STEP Buttons (1-8, 9, 0, 100, 200): Used for entering notes, selecting steps, and other functions depending on the mode.

3.6 Distortion Section

• TÆND/SLUK -kontakt: Engages or bypasses the built-in distortion effect.
• FORVRÆNGNING: Justerer mængden af ​​overdrive.
• TONE: Shapes the frequency content of the distorted sound.
• NIVEAU: Controls the output level of the distortion effect.

3.7 Lydstyrkekontrol

The 'VOLUME' knob adjusts the overall output level of the TD-3. Use this to balance the TD-3's output with other instruments in your setup.

4. Vedligeholdelse

4.1 Rengøring

Clean the TD-3 with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the finish and internal components.

4.2 Opbevaring

When not in use, store the TD-3 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If transporting, use the original packaging or a suitable protective case.

4.3 firmwareopdateringer

Kontroller Behringer regelmæssigt website for available firmware updates. Updates can provide new features, improvements, and bug fixes. Follow the instructions provided with the firmware update carefully.

5. Fejlfinding

5.1 Ingen lydudgang

• Ensure the power adapter is correctly connected and the unit is powered on.
• Kontroller alle lydkabler for korrekt forbindelse og integritet.
• Verify the 'VOLUME' knob is turned up.
• If using headphones, ensure they are fully plugged in and the volume is adjusted.
• Confirm that a pattern is playing and the 'MODE' switch is set to 'PLAY'.

5.2 Sequencer Not Playing

• Press the 'START/STOP' button to initiate playback.
• Ensure the 'MODE' switch is set to 'PLAY'.
• Check the 'TEMPO' knob setting; it might be set to a very slow speed.
• If synchronized externally, verify the external clock source is active and the 'TIME MODE' is correctly set.

5.3 MIDI Control Issues

• Ensure MIDI cables are connected correctly (MIDI OUT of controller to MIDI IN of TD-3).
• Verify that the TD-3 and your MIDI controller are on the same MIDI channel.
• Check the 'PITCH MODE' setting on the TD-3 to ensure it is set to 'MIDI' or 'USB' as appropriate.
