TD-3 Operation (continued)
25.
Press ACCENT and/or SLIDE as required, to add it to
the note. (If these are already added to this note,
they will be deleted.) Then release WRITE/NEXT.
26.
The ACCENT control knob will only affect those notes
that have ACCENT applied.
27.
If the last note of a pattern is a slide, then:
28.
In TRACK PLAY mode, this will slide to the next pattern
in a track (when the pattern is added to a track).
29.
In PATTERN WRITE/PLAY mode, if there is only
one pattern, it will slide to the beginning of itself.
If there are two or more patterns, it will slide to next
pattern.
PLAYING A PATTERN
Although you can play the patterns while the MODE switch
is in the PATTERN WRITE position, use the PATTERN PLAY
position during normal pattern playing. This will prevent
you from accidentally erasing the patterns with the CLEAR
switch.
The patterns are recalled by setting the PATTERN GROUP
switch to position I, II, III, or IV and then using the PATTERN
switches 1 to 8, and the A and B switches
1.
Turn the MODE switch to the PATTERN PLAY position.
2.
Turn the PATTERN GROUP switch to the group where
your desired pattern was stored, either I, II, III, or IV.
3.
Press the FUNCTION switch, and the NORMAL MODE
LED will turn on.
4.
Press the desired PATTERN switch 1 to 8, and its LED
will flash.
5.
Press the desired A or B switch and its LED will light.
6.
Press the START/STOP switch to play the pattern.
7.
Adjust the synthesizer controls, the TEMPO, and the
distortion, and have fun.
8.
If you press and hold PITCH MODE, and then press
one of the 13 keys of the keyboard, the current
pattern will be transposed to that key when the
pattern restarts.
9.
While the pattern is playing, you can press another
PATTERN switch 1 to 8, or A or B and it will play that
as soon as the current pattern is finished.
10.
If you press and hold a PATTERN switch and then
press another one at the same time, this will select
both patterns and all the patterns in between, and
play them in order. This is a good way of hearing
multiple patterns before you make a track.
TRACKS
After you have created a few patterns, you can add them
together to form a TRACK.
1.
Rotate the MODE switch to the TRACK
WRITE position.
2.
Rotate the TRACK switch to one of the available
positions 1 to 7. This also selects the pattern group
to be used. For example, TRACK 1 and 2 can only
select from patterns saved in PATTERN GROUP
I. TRACK 3 and 4 can only select patterns from
PATTERN GROUP II.
3.
Press CLEAR to reset the track to the beginning.
4.
Press START/STOP, and the TD-3 will play the current
pattern of the selected track. (Tracks are only
written while the unit is playing, and not stopped.)
5.
Select the first pattern to add to track. For example,
if you wanted to play a previously recorded pattern
2A, press 2 (note D) then press A (labled 100), even if
it is already selected, and pattern 2A should play.
6.
Press WRITE/NEXT to add this to the track
7.
Select the next pattern in the same way. To add a
transpose, hold PITCH MODE and choose a key, and
the pattern playing will change pitch to the new key.
8.
Press WRITE/NEXT to enter this pattern.
9.
Continue adding patterns in the same way.
10.
When you reach the last pattern, press CLEAR to let
the TD-3 know this is the last pattern in the track.
11.
Press WRITE/NEXT.
12.
Press START/STOP to finish.
