A bass line you shape while it plays.
The pattern catches and the room moves with it. Keep both hands on the knobs while the bass line changes. Open the filter, lengthen the decay, change the tempo. When the line needs grit, switch on the distortion and set its drive, tone and level.
Accent and slide live in the pattern
Write notes into the 16-step sequencer and add an accent or a slide where the line needs it. Ties and triplets shape the phrase, and transpose moves notes by an octave. Select any of 7 tracks.
One oscillator, one filter, every move exposed
One VCO, set to reverse sawtooth or pulse, feeds the low-pass filter. Resonance emphasises the signal at the cutoff frequency. Envelope and decay work together on the cutoff. Accent lifts only the notes you marked, so the line gets its own push and pull.
Bigger than one voice
CV and gate outputs drive other analogue gear. Filter in lets an outside audio signal replace the VCO and run through the filter. The clock can follow MIDI, USB or a trigger signal. Link several TD-3 units in a Poly Chain for up to 16 voices. The room keeps moving, and the line moves with it.
