Well, sort of. Fiercefish posted that today is International TB-303 day. I asked if this was real, and he replied sort of. Robin Whittle declared International TB-303 day on March 3, 2003, 3/03, get it? The crazy thing is I remember this! I searched the archives and found the post on AH. Title link takes you there. Below is a shot of an AcidLab sent my way via Fiercefish and a demo. Thanks for reminding us Fiercefish!
TB-303 AcidLab via Fiercefish
Fiercefish AcidLab Demo"As mentioned earlier, here http://s8.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1GUJ9UGH6SEHG01VTE4R8RO2N6 is a demo of my acidlab modded TB-303, for this demo I just concentrated on the FM, decay, and overdrive mods. It is a 2 bar pattern running with a 606 as a timekeeper, no eq was used just the 606 into the mix in on the 303 recorded in mono into audacity on my mac, I added a bit of reverb to the whole mix and did a small amount of audio editing to add a little interest.
I wanted to keep the sound fairly "acid" for this demo so the tweaking is limited to a slight extension of what a standard 303 can do, the acidlab can do some seriously crazy stuff especially with the controls at the extremes and I have recorded about 1 hours worth of other settings but need to edit them down to smaller snippets, they will be just the 303 on its own (no 606) and with no fx or eq, I should post them sometime in the next week.
Enjoy (or not!)
Happy 303 day!

Interesting piece. According to the caption that's a MIDI ribbon controller based on the Kurzweil Expression mate. Shot by royce. "This is a somewhat customized midi controller based on the kurzweil expressionmate. i used to play violin, and especially loved string quartets, so i wanted to have a "fingerboard" for glissando and vibrato effects."
