"This is a true analog 303 emulator, but with a few additional features of its own. It's a mono-synth, but it also has an external audio input, which allows you to run any outside sounds you want through it's 18 dB 2-pole filter. In addition to all the standard 303 style controls that you would expect, i.e., cut-off, resonance, envelope, decay, etc, it also adds a ring mod waveform for the oscillator with an adjustable ring detune amount. Everything on it is controllable through MIDI, and it is velocity sensitive. It has a built in portamento that emulates the 303 classic “slide” sound, and is activated simply by overlapping any of the MIDI notes you send to it. There is a very simple internal sequencer, but it's meant only for demo purposes. To make full use of this machine you need to hook it up to your favorite hardware or software based sequencer.

The Syntecno TeeBee mk III also has an extensive MIDI to CV capability. It has four separate CV and gate outputs which can all be controlled by MIDI. These outputs can be configured as either volts/octave or volts/hertz, and the gates can be ran as normal or inverted, giving you a lot of flexibility for controlling older, pre-MIDI gear. There is also a Roland DIN Sync output, for syncing up your older Roland boxes. There's also a simple MIDI merge circuit included, plus all of the TeeBee's controls transmit MIDI themselves.

This particular unit is in perfect condition. I am the original owner, and I bought it new from Syntecno back when the mk III was first released. It was used very lightly on the recording of a single album, and since then it has sat in a smoke-free home as part of a vintage synth collection. It has never been gigged with. Included is the original manual and power adapter. (Note: The power adapter included is designed for an input of 120V AC 60Hz and was supplied for use in the United States. If you live in a country with a different style power grid, you will need to provide your own adapter. As you can see in the pictures, the TeeBee requires an input of 12V DC 500mA center positive.)"
