Roland Tb303 Vs Tb-03 boutique BLIND TEST comparison (with stupid intro)

Published on Jul 5, 2017 Polynominaldotcom

"Just made some A/B comparison between original bassliner Tb303 and new Roland reissue Boutique Tb-03.

Same patterns played by both machine. Will you be able to reconize the real Mc Coy?

If you want to play the game just write in comment your solution.
e.g:
Test 1 / pattern1 : tb303
Test 2/ pattern 2: tb03

I added also a kind of funny intro - please don't take it too seriously, I'm training for video editing.

If you have time, please do visit my website for a lot of (serious) demo, info and pictures of synth.

Thanks
