"Famous German made TB303 clone sold under different names:
MAM MB33
Freebass FB-383

This is the Orange and silver version, I also have the older black version for sale. Perfect condition.

The MB 33 is a rack-mounted TB-303 clone released in the mid-nineties by German synth maker MAM (Music And More). It's basically identical to the Freebass 383 (which had a different front-panel design). It is a true analog monophonic bass synthesizer with MIDI implementation so you can create 303-like bass lines from your sequencer. Its single VCO offers the same two basic waveforms as the TB-303: a sawtooth and square wave. But in the MB 33 they can be mixed together for a more interesting tone than the 303 could originally produce.

Additional knobs control the VCO tuning, filter frequency cutoff, resonance, envelope mod amount, envelope decay time and accent intensity - the same controls found on the TB-303! The 24dB lowpass filter can also produce the characteristic sound of the 18 dB filter used in the original 303. There's also an auto-slide function (4 octave range) for producing those 303-style slides and a separate input for filtering external signals through it. Unfortunately there is no program storage."

006//R.E.M. [Melodic Ambient] - Mother 32 and Eventide Space

Published on Jan 29, 2018 Alastair Wilson

"A dark, melodic, semi-self-generating patch made on 1 Mother 32 sent through an Eventide Space hall reverb. No other processing has been applied.

After 001//Slumber, I wanted to see whether I could make a similar patch using just 1 Mother 32, without using any processing inside Ableton, and without using an external MIDI clock - just a Mother 32 and an Eventide Space being recorded. This is the result, which was much better than I expected!

The patch is semi-random, as the notes are sequenced. My main issues were sequence speed, and randomness; to slow the sequence down to below the internal tempo limit, I patched the square LFO to the Run/Stop input, causing the sequencer to turn off and on. To get more than 1 random voltage source I used the KB output, which, when mixed with other modulations, isn't obvious that the 'random' voltages are just following the note pitches.

Roland JD-XA Sound Demo

Published on Jan 29, 2018 Stochastic Design

"In this video, we show a few patches we've created, and use the onboard sequencer for riffs associated with the sounds. Just a first look, nothing too remarkable. Let us know in the comments if you would like to see more in-depth sound design on this red beast!

The JD-XA has been described both as the spiritual successor to the JD-800, and a sound designer's dream.

The physical design and the way some features have been implemented seems to have prevented it from being universally praised, but the sonic capabilities of the hybrid analogue/digital synth engine are interesting."

Digitakt Ambient

Published on Jan 28, 2018 Flohr

"Started out with a piano loop that I ran through some Moogerfoogers and then resampled. A version of that is the crunchy bit that fades in over time. Resampled one pass of the original piano and dropped that two octaves down as well."
