Analog Soultions TB-X TB-303

Title link takes you there. Note there is not internal sequencer.

"Main spec:
Basically the analogue voice circuit with MIDI and some extra features like noise, LFO etc.



Extra tone controls:
VCO level
External Audio level
Noise level
Squelch - to add more resonance
Cross mod (VCO to Cut-off)
MIDI Mod (MIDI control of Cut-off from Velocity or a Controller)
LFO Mod / LFO Speed (Square and Triangle)
VCA Decay
Overdrive

Other features:
Minikeyboard to audition the sound
Manual Accent and Slide buttons to overide the MIDI sequence
Squelch button - to add instant squelch
Audio input - through filter
Headphone socket
Uses the original 303 voice circuit, and analogue components (where possible - many are discontinued). We tried to get the sound original, and in our opinion it sounds just like a 303 - but of course there will always be to very few who disagree!

NOTE: there is no internal sequencer. Please don't debate with us whether that was the right or wrong thing to do. We did our best with the time and resources we have."

  2. No problem. There's no debate: the TB-303 is all about the sequencer.

  5. i look forward to hearing it in action. Then i'll be able to make up my mind about its price...

    Still, it's twice the price of an acidlab bassline...

  7. From ASol website:

    "This is a low priority product, so if it's just what you need, order now!"

    Low priority? What note priority or not important to AS?

    ASol (reads like asshole!) are a joke, looks like they intended a sequencer but couldn't figure it out/be bothered to implement it.

    £527 (inc vat) is taking the piss, apart from not having a sequencer it appears that your £527 gets you a scratched case, no storage of midi channel (but hey they HOPEFULLY might fix that at a later date, their words) Are they so far up their own ASol that they are unaware of x0xb0x, Acidlab, etc etc, it's not 1991 anymore ASol!

    Also you can get a 303 in the UK for about £5-600 anyway if you are patient.

  8. Well I can sort of unserstand that what I assume is a one person company can't write software for stand alone hardware (unless of course they collaborated with someone outside the company and I know that might be hard if there is no up-front money).

    >We did our best with the time and resources we have.

    Okay, but "time"?? I'm just thinking what scenario would make time a factor? Have to finish before all the kids are off to school? If we don't get ours out Behringer will beat us? It's not like a bomb will go off if the (not-included) sequencer goes below 130 bpm.
