303 DAY: DJ Pierre and the Roland TB-303

Published on Mar 2, 2019 RolandChannel

Looks like this went up a day early. Watch it while you can.

"Today on #303DAY, we celebrate the iconic silver box that defined the genre of acid house—the Roland TB-303 Bassline Synthesizer. With an unmistakable sonic signature brimming with warmth, energy and character, the iconic silver box defined the acid house movement of the late 1980s.

Widely misunderstood when launched in 1981, the true revolution began several years later when electronic music producers rediscovered the quirky box, unleashing the hypnotic, liquid sound that captivated a generation. While we may never really understand why the 303 sound makes people want to dance, there is no denying its power, influence, and unwavering ability to get a party started. It just works, even after all this time."

"This video is not to demonstrate how the ARP Avatar works in general. It is rather to show that the functions of this model work as expected. The Modular part is not covered in this demo."

You can also use the static +5 or +10V option so the knobs deliver DC offsets and interpolate between those values with the big center knob!"

"One of Klaus Schulze’s fav live synths. Check out example video here and others. Analog morph seq is incredible and can trigger external MIDI gear.

Includes 2.01f OS ROM and factory power supply. All controls work

Notes: Very good condition with light wear 1 knob cap is chipped, and a couple of lines of pixels on the LCD take 10 mins to warm up then work fine.

I’m including a replacement display I bought but never installed since I got used to letting it warm up. Also including a set of 10 new encoders to extend life and joy of this 19-20 yr old synth."

"Onboard sounds compared to M1 and D-50 synthesizers.

From polynomial.com

40 Modifications via:
3x Rotary Wheels *
11x SPDT (on-off-on) Switches.

* Each Rotary Wheel has 6 bend points on a 12 point rotation (6x on and 6x off positions).
Therefore as you rotate the switch clockwise: 12noon = off, 1pm = bend point 1, 2pm = off, 3pm = bend point 2, 4pm = off, 5pm = bend point 3 etc etc...

These allow for a highly intuitive interaction with the circuit bent interface in real time, and can be employed alone or in combination with other bends to (potentially) create countless tonal, rhythmic, textural and melodic variations (depending upon application)."

"Last of the great Prophet synths. OS 1.2, new back light, 4 oscillators, Curtis analogue filters, inspirational and versatile.

You can load you own waveforms into it via midi sample dump standard, combine and edit them for massive patches. Sits in the mix like no other synth can.

Curtis 5530 multiplex sample and hold clones are now in production, so years and years of hit making still left in this beast. That was a previous maintenance concern but is no longer an issue.

Comes with mint condition original manual, Prophet VS cover and brand new Synth Taste custom low heat power supply from Germany."
