Sam Ash explores Behringer synthesizers, with a featured look at the TD-3—an analog bass line synth inspired by the classic TB-303 sound. The guide outlines key TD-3 features, including an all-analog signal path, built-in distortion, and a 16-step sequencer in a compact desktop format.
-- Sam Ash, a family-owned music retailer with a 100-year heritage and an online-only shopping experience, has released a new Spotlight guide focused on Behringer synthesizers and what musicians can expect from modern, budget-conscious analog gear. The guide is for home studio players, electronic music producers, and performers who want a clear understanding of where compact analog instruments fit into contemporary setups.

Within the Spotlight, Sam Ash highlights the Behringer TD-3 as a budget-friendly synth for acid-style bass lines in techno, house, EDM, and related electronic genres. The resource notes the TD-3's appeal as an accessible analog option—priced around $149—while emphasizing that it is not intended to be a full workstation or general-purpose polysynth.
The Spotlight details the TD-3's fully analog signal path, describing classic VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator), VCF (Voltage Controlled Filter), and VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) architecture and the use of matched transistors for authentic analog character. Sound-shaping centers on a 4-pole resonant low-pass filter with performance-oriented controls such as cutoff, resonance, envelope, decay, and accent—elements closely associated with animated, percussive bass patterns.
For sequencing and performance, the TD-3 includes a built-in 16-step sequencer and an arpeggiator, with storage for up to 250 user patterns across seven tracks. The article also highlights an integrated analog distortion circuit modeled after classic pedals for more aggressive tones.
Designed as a compact desktop unit, the TD-3 is listed at approximately 12.01 in (W) x 6.5 in (D) x 2.2 in (H) and about 1.8 lb, supporting space-conscious workstations and live rigs. Connectivity includes MIDI In/Out/Thru, USB for MIDI control, analog sync, and CV/Gate—supporting integration with computers, hardware studios, and modular setups.
"Behringer's philosophy is simple—democratize music technology so that anyone can afford to make great music," said a spokesperson for Sam Ash. "This unwavering focus on affordability and accessibility is why their synths, especially the TD-3 series, have become so popular among beginners and professionals alike."
Sam Ash's Spotlight series is part of its broader effort to help customers make confident gear decisions with practical education and access to expert guidance through its Gear Expert Team.
