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 (labeled 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.
Playing Tracks
1. Rotate the MODE switch to the TRACK PLAY position.
2. Rotate the TRACK switch to the desired track.
3. Press CLEAR to reset the track to the beginning.
4. Press START/STOP to play the track.
Deleting Patterns from a Track
To remove one pattern from the track, just select that Pattern number. For example, to delete the third pattern in a track:
1. 1. Rotate the MODE switch to the TRACK WRITE position.
2. Rotate the TRACK switch to the track to be edited.
3. Select the third pattern in the track by holding FUNCTION down and pressing PATTERN 3.
4. Delete by holding FUNCTION down and then pressing DEL (C sharp).
5. Rotate the MODE switch to the TRACK PLAY position.
6. Press CLEAR to reset the track to the start.
7. Press START/STOP to play the track and listen to the changes.
Inserting Patterns into a Track
For example, to add a pattern before the 5th pattern in a track:
1. Rotate the MODE switch to the TRACK WRITE position.
2. Rotate the TRACK switch to the track to be edited.
3. Select the fifth pattern in the track by holding FUNCTION down and pressing PATTERN 5.
4. Add by holding FUNCTION down and pressing INS (D sharp). The new pattern will be added to the track.
5. Press the START/STOP switch and the current pattern added will play.
6. Select the pattern you want to play by pressing its selector 1 to 8 and the A and B switches. The selected pattern will
play.
7. Press TAP to store the change.
8. Press START/STOP to stop play.
9. Rotate the MODE switch to the TRACK PLAY position.
10. Press CLEAR to reset the track to the start.
11. Press START/STOP to play the track and listen to the changes.
Overwriting a Track
1. Existing tracks can be overwritten with a new track. It is not necessary to delete all patterns in a track when writing
over an existing track with a shorter track. This is because when the new track plays its last pattern, it will automatically
return to the beginning.
