PlayFader PlayMates - TD-3-MO (Massive Attack - Teardrop & a 303)

video upload by Play All Day

"A one-take jam using a TD-3-MO (a supercharged TB-303) to play along to Massive Attack's Teardrop. Dedicated to the brave people of the Global Sumud Flotilla 2025 ✌️🇵🇸

I wanted to show how expressively you can play a 303 with PlayFader. And I feel like I've just unlocked a secret door... I can't even image how I'd sequence this using a xox sequencer, let alone inside a DAW.

BUT, although I didn't in this case, you can always record the MIDI output of PlayFader into your DAW so you can go back and edit, tweak and fine tune... if that's your kind of workflow.

Not mine, sorry. I just want to play music, that's why PlayFader exists.

No Fun FX used btw, not even transpose, I'm simply just playing, recording, improvising and overdubbing live. Jumping between the dual buffers in each channel, while also switching performance quantisation modes to mix between Auto (ratchets) and Single (which is basically... no ratchets : ] ) to create more variety and dynamics.

Channel A of PlayFader controls pitch and gate CV.
Channel B controls Slide and Filter Cutoff CV at the same time. While the gate out is engaging the Accent.
I chose the Behringer TD-3-MO precisely because of its numerous CV inputs, but you can absolutely do this over MIDI on any other 303, or in your DAW using a 303 VST. More to come with this combo for sure...

I hope you try this and enjoy it as much as I did.

Less work.
More flow.
