That Acid Sound.

Which is the best synth out there on the market that can reproduce the classic TB-303 sound?

I know about the x0xb0x....I'm already on the list.

I have a MicroKorg and... I guess it's okay with the acid.

But the parameters are limited to Cutoff + Resonance and it doesn't exactly sound right [with the lack of the squelch, the rubberyness, etc.].

Maybe I'm just hard to please.

I have had my eye on the Roland SH-201. I don't know, it just seems like that Transistor Bass is somewhere inside it. It seems capable.

Anyways, any synth on the market that sounds like and works just as good as the TB-303, with the right parameters and everything?

{P.S. I have given up all hope on finding an authentic TB-303.}

...perhaps I didn't specify enough.

I mean something analog.

You know, something where you touch your fingers right on the knobs and the keys?

I don't mean softwares.

what's your budget?

btw, Roland SH-201 is a digital synth(i.e. not analogue)

Kay.

I went to Audio Realism and downloaded BassLine Two thingy.

But I can't find where it got installed to.

Grr.

Well, budget is ever changing...so whatever you have in mind, let me know.

Thank you, Sir Ieafs.

I thought that Modey meant to build one from scratch.

To which I replied : Ha. Right. ...you're joking aren't you?

ah didn't notice you saying that... why were you so suprised about being able to build one then?!

I thought he meant to build one from scratch.

what, you can't find a schematic online and try to replicate it?

This means going out to find my own materialsSLASHsuppliesSLASHdirectionsSLASHbrain.

So, no sir.

I can't.

The roland MC-202...

Where am I supposed to find one?

Kay, maybe in Australia and the UK, you guys have alot of good second-hands and stuff.

But here in the U S of effing A, there isn't shit.

"Oh, look! A pawn shop!" *You go in.*

Nothing but lawn mowers and old videotapes.

"Oh, look! I see something music-related!" *It's an effing Casio.*

Dammit.

I can't wait to get out of here.

I disdain America.

{P.S. I hope no one just took any sort of offence.}

uh, so you're telling me you don't use lawnmowers, videotapes and casio keyboards to make music?

you're weird.

hey presto

or

mc202 off ebay

i started with a 202 + 707 kept me going for years before i had enough mooney for a 303

202 will keep ya very busy

well the x0xb0x is about the best replica you can hope for. Look on the x0x site, they actually link to other good clones. If you can afford it there are plenty of 303s being sold on eBay so you are doin g something wrong if you can't find one at all. rebirth is discontinued but that just means its free now and i think it sounds fantastic.

Um. Do you live in a part of America that doesn't have eBay or Craigslist? That would be, what, Guantanamo Bay?
