TBS-303


Click here for a couple more shots via this auction.

"(this website has real audio files of the SYNTH)

- Internally the analog circuits are identical to Rolands original design
(same component types, topology, 18dB/oct resonance filter etc.) There are
no IC's used to simplify the design!
- The Mark II version has a revised MIDI interface for better control and
for example user selectable MIDI channel.
- The TBS303 is on purpose build in a desktop type housing to make real
time control by hand, better (just like the original!)"

  3. suspicious or not it's a POS. Anyone who understands the 303 knows that the sequencer is the heart of the beast. Anything without the sequencer is just another 1 osc monosynth.

  4. The sequencer is a big part of the sound yes, but its possible to get the original sound by carefully programming via a MIDI sequencer.

  7. If it were $200, I would have clicked BIN.

    $1000? I don't think so. I'd buy a Revolution and pocket the change for something else.
