ROLAND TB303 Analog Synthesizer + TR sequencer

tb303
303 - the "Filter in" is a modification!.

the 303 is basically a "moog" style cascade filter with 18dB (the reason is that it should have to be a 24dB filter, but the quality was only enough for 18).. well, need I to say more? tadao kikumoto was the guy at roland ,who did it!
anyway, this is a cult machine andnot doubt it's sound is far from "cheap".. but the current prices are far from "real".. an ok price would be 200euro max ;)
the sequencer is very famous and basically the reason why it was most wanted.
imo this sound can be nicely emulated using a moog prodigy, roland sh101 or another good sounding even 1 OSC-analogue synth. ok..
there are lots of mods available like the devilfish mod.. a ring mod is also a nice beef up of the well known and reduced sound.. there are only 6 knobs to control this thing: wave, decay, cutoff , resonance, env. amt (simply attack/decay) and attack.

tb303 mod
sync'ed in harmony tb303 + tr606

this tr606 is modded by analogue solutions (add. parameter box) .. more see the tr section..

the TR606 "drumatix": is a din sync equipped drumcomputer that offers TR-typical LED-step programming as the TR808 etc.. and has some TR808-like sounds (analogue) but sounding much more "industrial".. in the same style (silver) as the TB303..

some use it as an alternative to tr808 sounds.. or because it is cheaper ;)..

little sister of TR808 drum computer -
the TB303 - design TR606!: sounds more "industrial" than the TR808:

the box on the upper left is the analogue solutions modification, that is also available to other
