Guest The Bro Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I think if you gonna pay nearly 600 for that TT Clone then you may as well go the extra mile and get the real thing. Personally I prefer it if Roland just rereleased the damn original with extra functionality such as usb connectivity etc. Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/80635-tt-303/#findComment-2067105 Share on other sites More sharing options...
psn Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 A friend brought his Bassbot over the other day, and we compared it to my x0xb0x.

Also, it almost sounds like there's a slowly falling ramp LFO modulating the squelch on it.

psn Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Probably volume vs. production setup, ie overhead. I heard Cyclone are talking about cloning the 606 as well, but that won't really make any sense unless they end up considerably cheaper than the TT-303. A used original 606 can be had for about half of what the TT303 costs.

The idea would probably be to make a 606 with much better workflow and functionality, in which case having it be more expensive than a real 606 would make plenty fine sense to me.

soundwave Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Most 303 emulators will always cover an area of the TB's sound pallet with ease but when pushed to extremes the difference is evident like the distinctive high resonance and punchy accent which few, including the TT, really pull off convincingly imho. Workflow wise the it's very superior as you can tweak in the fly. The only thing I've come across to match the TB303 for dirty, quirky acidic sounds sound is the FR777.

kokoon Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 What I've heard of the TT-303, the accent is completely different than on TB-303. I think x0xb0x is much more faithful in sound, but I haven't had the chance to try the TT out myself (but I do own a x0xb0x).

Audioblysk Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 I've always wanted a 303alike. But they are so damn expensive (aside from the x0x) and to be honest, don't have much versitility outside of acid/early techno and house to justify cashing out on.

You can get the original 606 for cheaper. This bassbot is the 303 tho. They haven't made a 606 clone yet. The TT-303 looks epic. I might get 1. All the sound demos i've heard it sounds legit... indistinguishable from a TB in a mix. I imagine the sequencer is a lot of fun also. Only downer is its a bit on the expensive side.. and i'd say its definitely less durable than a TB. The TB's have lasted 30 years afterall Edited December 31, 2013 by Chris Toffer Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/80635-tt-303/#findComment-2110072 Share on other sites More sharing options...
