• MELODIA: Adjusts the overall pitch of the oscillator.
• TAGLIATO FUORI: Controls the cutoff frequency of the low-pass filter.
• RISONANZA: Adjusts the resonance of the filter, creating a more pronounced or "squelchy" sound.
• BUSTA: Controls the amount of envelope modulation applied to the filter cutoff.
• DECADIMENTO: Sets the decay time of the envelope.
• ACCENTO: Adjusts the intensity of accented notes in the sequence.
• TEMPO: Controls the playback speed of the sequencer.
• FORMA D'ONDA: Selects between sawtooth and square waveforms for the VCO.
• DISTORSIONE: Engages and controls the built-in distortion effect.
• VOLUME: Regola il livello di uscita generale.
• SEQUENCER CONTROLS: Buttons for pattern selection, step input, accent, slide, and various time modes.

Sequencing Basics:

The TD-3-MO-AM features a powerful 16-step sequencer. To create a pattern:

1. Seleziona un TRACCIA E PATTERN GROUP using the rotary switches.
2. Entrare SCRIVERE modalità.
3. Input notes using the pitch mode buttons (C, C#, D, etc.) and apply ACCENTO or DIAPOSITIVA come desiderato.
4. Premere AVVIO/ARRESTO to play your sequence.

Refer to the detailed operational guide available on the Behringer support website for advanced sequencing techniques and MIDI implementation.
