Build a pattern
Enter sixteen steps and compare the effect of one rest on step six.
Outcome: Two versions of a phrase and a reason for your preference.
Learn by hearing a difference
Five controlled A/B comparisons of rest, octave, slide, entrance and accent.
Outcome: Reproduce the difference you hear in the grid.
Turn a loop into a section
Choose a bass entrance against the kick; build a three-voice drum map and sixteen-bar plan.
Outcome: A four-section performance you can rehearse by hand.
Hear a first note from your device
Match output, profile and channel, then run a four-note live MIDI test.
Requires: A compatible browser, device and MIDI connection. Does not write memory.
Diagnose TD-3 memory transfer
Check SysEx reads, backup and read-back separately from live playback.
Requires: A physical TD-3 and a disposable test slot. Writing is experimental.
Using these exercises
Example links ask before replacing bass steps and title. You can undo the last example load; tempo, rhythm and sound settings are preserved. A/B recordings are educational software synthesis. Your patch may sound different; the clips are not presented as hardware recordings.
Each path has a distinct job: the pattern workshop covers note entry, the arrangement workshop covers layers, the connection guide covers live MIDI, and the lab covers memory operations. Start at the step you need rather than reading every article in order.
