"It is the best sounding 303 I've ever owned. Hands down, 100%. Colin Fraiser (from the famous Sequentix P3 & Cirklon machines) installed his MIDIBass 303 MKI upgrade into this 303, as well added a bass boost to enhance the sound. Let me tell you... This 303 pumps. The ENV MOD and DECAY have great range, allowing for some amazing combinations that greatly affect the sound of a given pattern. They create some amazing character from short tail decay with extra "umph" from the ENV to longer held notes with variable texture, depending on your ENV setting. Let's not forget the CUTOFF and RES... both excellent all around. You want bass? Slam the RES all the way to left, and adjust the CUTOFF to your liking and asses will shake. It really is the best sounding 303 I've heard personally... I'm going to miss this machine.

The midi upgrade works fine, but I ended up not using it as much as I thought. To sync, just use one of the included MIDI adapters to connect to port... and run with it. Since I have other older Roland machines, most of the time I still used the original DIN SYNC 24 port - which works just fine as well. So, you have a choice to use orignal SYNC or MIDI.... which is nice.

LEDS
The white leds are super cool... and aren't too bright at all. (some blue leds burn my eyes) These are nice to look at. Really makes this 303 unique in appearance. I've had many nice compliments on it. :)

Overall physical condition... A few marks, here and there... But no chips in the body. and no battery leakage inside. Very clean overall.

Comes from a smoke-free, pet-free home."
