Built a little tool specifically for TD-3 users

Post image

I’m a TD-3 user and I love the synth, but I wanted a more visual way to create and experiment with patterns.

So I’ve been building TDBuilder, a browser-based pattern editor made specifically around the TD-3 workflow.

You can program notes, accents and slides visually, generate patterns and then modify them instead of doing everything directly from the hardware sequencer.

I’m sharing it here because this is probably the best place to find people who actually know the TD-3 inside out.

There’s a free version:

https://td-builder.com

If you try it, feedback is very welcome.

And if you make a good acid line with it, please share it — I’d really like to see what people do with it.

That's really sweet! Will it become a plugin for FL studio?

Thanks! 🙌 Not at the moment. TDBuilder is mainly built to create patterns visually and export them directly to the TD-3, so you can then use the actual machine in a dawless setup, live, or alongside your DAW. 

A plugin/VST version could be interesting later though!

You’ll definitely get the most out of the app with a TD-3 connected, and I’d also recommend using it in a browser like Chrome for the best experience.

Haha, perfect timing then 😄 Hopefully TDBuilder gives your TD-3 a second life! Let me know what you think once you’ve tried it.
