TT-303 Bass Bot Comparison to Original TB-303 by Devil Fish's Robin Whittle
"I have done a preliminary circuit tracing of most of the Bass Bot and compared its function and signals with those of the TB-303.
The Bass Bot is not claimed to be a replica of the TB-303 - it just looks that way. Please note that what I wrote relates to a single machine from the December production batch. There is a new batch just about to be made and I understand that there are some hardware and firmware changes - but I don't know what they are. What I wrote here may be updated in the future, may not be complete or accurate, and may not reflect the behavior of all Bass Bots: http://www.firstpr.com.au/rwi/dfish/TT-303/#diffs (Update: see the link for additional assessments added after this post)
It does not receive Roland/DIN Sync.
Although the right-most button is labeled "Tap" as part of replicating the design of the TB-303's front panel, there is no Tap entry mode in the TT-303's sequencer.
The synthesiser circuitry is functionally identical to that of a TB-303 except (based on our experience with one unit sent to us in December 2012):
Maximum Env Mod is about 37% stronger.
Accent Sweep via the Resonance Pot is about 33% stronger.
The VCA is a BA6110, which is a modern, enhanced, version of the original and now unobtainable BA662. The BA6110 has linearizing diodes, which are not used, so it behaves much like a BA662. The control current to the VCA is approximately doubled and the load resistor for the VCA is approximately halved. The signal level is about the same, but these changes reduce the VCA's background noise significantly.
The CV Out range is 1.333 volts for lowest C to 5.333 volts for the highest C in a Pattern's 3 octave range, when the Pattern is transposed up 1 octave. In the TB-303, this 4 octave range is 1.0 to 5.0 volts.
The exact response curve of the Resonance Pot is a 'log' curve at both the anti-clockwise and the clockwise ends. This is the same as with the replacement Resonance pots we have been installing in the Devil Fish for several years. The TB-303's Resonance pot has a "log" (AKA "audio taper") response curve. This difference only affects what knob position produces a given sound, not the range of sounds which are available.
The circuitry is in general identical - except of course that different transistor and IC types are used. I didn't find any evidence that these differences result in a different sound.
I will await a machine from the new production batch before I do the detailed work for the forthcoming Devil Fish modifications. Although the modifications will be identical or similar in principle to those for the TB-303, the new machine has totally different component numbering, different layout, and almost all the components are surface mount. It will be a while before I finalize the modifications.
I have added the Swedish distributor Jam.se to the above page."
Update: you'll find updates to Robin's assessments on his TT-303 page here.

RMS No.13 - An Infrared Controlled Feed-backing Guitar Sounding (ish) Patch
RMS No.13 - An Infrared Controlled Feed-backing Guitar Sounding (ish) Patch from Random Modular Snippets on Vimeo.
"Featuring:- Koma Kommander, various Doepfer modules and the Strymon El Capistan.
Anyway, I just got a new toy, the Koma Kommander. It's a device with two sets of infrared sensors, each spitting out a gate and cv control. In this patch I'm just using the gates to trigger various things.
Sorry about the picture quality, I need a new camera. This one just seems to be getting fuzzier."

Introduction to the A-Series Modular Synth Rack Extensions for Reason
Published on Jan 27, 2013 Ochen K.·18 videos
"The A-Series Modular Synth is the first fully modular synth for Reason, where you can design your synths however you want for whatever sound you can imagine. And because all the modules are mix-and-match, all those Reason effects and devices that you already have can go right inside your custom synth."

Ebay Scam Warning
Just a heads up but there have been a run of recent eBay scam listings where the seller asks you to contact them offline via an email address for a low Buy It Now price. Don't fall for it. If you buy on eBay, buy on eBay only. If you do not go through the eBay system you will not be eligible for their buyer protection should you get scammed. I don't want to become the eBay police, but this particular scammer appears to be posting daily, targeting synths, with what appears to be hijacked accounts with tons of positive feedback. If you look on the right of the site here on MATRIXSYNTH you will find a MORE STUFF section just under the Artists & More banner with links for eBay US, UK and DE. I do my best to filter out scammers and these links are tailored for synths, so use them, but of course I can't promise to filter all scammers as I can only filter them after I catch them. As always be smart and trust no one. If you buy off of eBay go through their system for the purchase and all communication (eBay will review all communication in the case of a dispute). If something goes south you should have eBay buyer protection on your side.
