ABOUT TB303? no need to say something, right? nobody wnated it when it was new, it is a simple bass synth with only 6 parameters and 18dB/oct filter which is in fact a not-so-good moog filter cascade .. real value: uuhm, 50€? but street.. more than 10x..

DETAILS well, a 303, even the waveform switch is on the back (whyy??) - has DIN sync.

SOUND bass and sequencer-lines

VERSION lots of mods.. THE tb303 CLONEs first I'd think about the Future Retro Revolution, it sounds good and is strange to look at.. second the acidcode stuff and mods and names: acidlab, acidcode, devilfish, future retro SOME LINKS see site.. clones: lots like ml303, acidcode, xox etc..

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
