AS TBX-303?

i don't think anyone here would buy one of those if they wanted a 303 clone sound, Xoxbox is what most people seem to gravitate towards for it.

 

plus if you don't think the sequencer plays an important role still, and you've actually used a 303 then you might be talking out of your ass a little bit.

my 2 cents, don't look towards Analogue Solutions for any kind of accurate or even semi close emulation of a cherished Roland synthezizer

the Revolutions (or Mobieus/Orb) sequencer does exactly what the TB303 does and a whole lot more all in realtime so please don't tell me that there's anything special or unique about the TB303's sequencer cos there isn't,

 

You might be better off using Rebirth

step sequencers have come along way since the 303 revival and there is nothing unique or important about the arduous step/length/accent/slide date entry on an original next to the fluid programming in real time on something like Future Retro (and yes I have done both)

so no one knows a tootle shite about the TBX-303 on here?

I know it won't sound exactly like a TB303 but then again nothing else really does (and that has nothing to do with the sequencer)however it does have a nice array of extra features if anyone has actually had a go?

so once more for those at the back..........

check it for yourself ..

there are about 20 youtube videos i just found that show how close it sounds, and in my opinion it sounds significantly different. Actually 'closer' to the real thing than the 808 and 909 things they make, but not passable in my opinion. I'd rather use software if i was going to drop $600 on something that doesnt sound exactly like a 303 if that was my goal to begin with. the Future Retro and Xoxbox sound a lot closer i think

lolololol @ arduous

i got a future retro revolution. it sounds well good.

kthnxbye.

since you claim to know so much about the TB-303 and all the hardware and software clones of the TB-303, why don't you shut the fuck up and make your own.

or you could take the advice from people who have actually owned/used a TB-303 (and from people who actually know their shit) that a large portion of the TB-303 sound is due to the sequencer.

as sneaksta and awepittance have pointed out, the x0xb0x is the most "soundalike". and these are two guys that have shown that they know their shit. all i can claim is to having owned a real TB-303, and i can attest that programming a pattern into it isn't as hard as you seem to think.

either way, lol.

lolololol @ arduous

wanna buy an MC202?

How much?

£300?

lol the sequencer affects the sound?

 

explain that one to me pleeeease?

you obviously haven't used a real 303 then.

 

the sequencer gives the 303 it's bounciness...that's where you get all the glide effects.

Same can be said for the AudioBassline 303. You can use midi note or programme it with the sequencer.

Both sound soooooo different.

welcome to watmm

If you're gonna sequence anything 303-like with your Monomachine, check this post and apply the LFOs in question to the necessary MIDI CCs. That'll get you half the way there.

I think the youtube video posted show very well it doesn't emulate the 303 well.

You've got a funny little acid sound, but I guess since they're selling it 600, just because it is supposed to be an "accurate replication", I would passed away.

And by the way why are they selling it at that price witheout a sequencer?

yes the RRP is a little steep but some factory 2nds have come to light recently and puts it in the same price bracket as a Dark Energy, I know it won't sound exactly like a 303 but for some savage acid sounds with extra sound features and separate MIDI cc of the cutoff makes it all the more tempting plus I really don't need the sequencer

It's a shame that the TBX is so damn ugly. If they made it an ultra sexy 303-esque module with the circuit extensions, they could have a product working for them. I mean the cream colored sheet metal enclosure is one thing, but those knobs? Yikes..

it aint priddy but the original aint too sexy either however i do prefer a console to a rack any day

didn't someone on here have an acidlab?

a) i'd buy a mc-202 but i couldn't afford more than $300 for it

b) i really really don't think the sound of the 303 is special, don't waste your time/money on that overpriced piece of shiiiiiii t

i was jamming with my friend on a hilariously old/shitty yamaha sampler and, with a few petals and lots of love, was able to crank out some awesome sounds. get creative with your use of hardware/software and you've got a lot of potential for sound.

Well its certainly undeniable at that price!

i was using a 303 clone plugin for a while there. if i put a little distortion on it, or reverb/delay, can anyone tell it's not the real thing? i have never used a real 303 but i have surely heard many a real 303 in acid music. i cant tell the difference.

some people can, some people can't.

some people can't tell the difference between a real 303 and ReBirth.

it depends on the type of sound your doing i.e. generic acid squelches and smooth basses can be done on many things but the punchy accent, odd tuning and unusual resonance is very unique hard to match

the VCO's are nothing alike from the TBX demos I've heard although it has the best accent of all the clones on acidvoice.com and the resonance has its own dirty character
