TT-303 clone vs. real TB-303 & First Impressions by Computer Controlled


Top demo is the TB-303. Bottom is the TT-303 vs. TB-303. Pay attention to the accents.



"first 16 bars of TT-303 clone.
after that 16 bars of TB-303.
after that 16 bars of BOTH playing at the SAME time paned L/R .
after that it's TT-303 and TB-303 back and forth to show the difference in sound.

i matched the settings and turned only cut off & resonance in exactly the same way on both machines. the pattern is programmed same way on both machines.

NO EFX is used, no comp, no eq, no reverb, no distortion.
just pure sound directly in the line in of the a2d."

There's some discussion on the AH that the accent between the two is slightly different.  If you listen to 3:24 on you'll hear that the TT-303 doesn't quiet get that classic TB-303 quick accented filter sweep.  Could be the settings?  If anyone has a TT-303 and get that sound feel free to comment.  I'll follow-up with a new post if I hear anything.

And some first impressions by Computer Controlled:

"Just got my TT-303 earlier this afternoon. After a few hours of playing with it, here are my observations.

Build Quality:
Its made of lighter weight plastic than the TB is. So it feels slightly cheaper. With batteries in it, it's lighter than the TB.
It has a glossy finish, as opposed to the TB's matte finish. I like the matte finish much better.
The switches have almost no throw to them. This takes a bit of getting used to.
The knobs do rub against the case, but this doesn't bother me at all.
