Programming a Quicksilver 303 pattern from scratch
Published on May 9, 2013 ripe909·23 videos
"We cover the basic creation of a new pattern using the Quicksilver 303 CPU upgrade for the TB-303. Notice that the pattern can be programmed while the sequencer is running, which wasn't possible on the original 303."

Quicksilver 606 Features Overview
Published on Apr 4, 2013
"We go over some of the new features of the Quicksilver 606 CPU upgrade for the TR-606. We cover individual instrument accents, 32 step patterns, MUTE and ROLL, randomize, rotate, reverse and some MIDI capabilities."

PRESS RELEASE:
"Dallas, TX, April 04, 2013 - Exactly one year after the successful release of the Quicksilver 303, Social Entropy is pleased to announce the Quicksilver 606 CPU upgrade. Quicksilver 606 is a completely new replacement CPU for the classic TR-606 drum machine. The operating system has been rewritten from the ground up.
The Quicksilver 606 introduces the capability to accent individual instrument triggers. A mix of accented and unaccented triggers can be placed on the same step. This ability makes it possible to program much more expressive patterns that weren’t possible on the original TR-606.
A new MUTE/ROLL mode has been added specifically for realtime performance.
MUTE mode allows muting of individual instrument tracks. Mutes can be applied in realtime and stored with a pattern or applied globally across patterns.
ROLL mode creates a note repeat of selected instruments. The time division of the roll can be changed in realtime for dynamic build-ups and variations.
Patterns can now be up to 32 steps in length, split across two 16 step sections. When extending a pattern from 16 to 32 steps, pattern data can copied automatically into the new section. Up to sixteen patterns can be chained for playback.
The sequencing engine supports standard grid and tap programming methods. A new realtime record capability also allows patterns to be entered live with a MIDI controller, with incoming velocity used to dynamically set accents.
Functions like copy and paste, randomize, rotate and reverse can be applied to individual instruments or entire patterns.
The extended track mode allows for complete songs to be constructed using patterns. Each track step has settings for instrument mutes, multiple repeats or pattern chains.
Changing between modes can be performed without stopping the sequencer. All data is stored in EEPROM memory, eliminating the need for batteries.
Enhanced MIDI connectivity provides synchronization, sequencer input and output, as well as a new "MIDI Control Mode" which allows the buttons of the TR-606 to be controlled remotely by any device that can send MIDI note messages.
Full MIDI System Exclusive support means that pattern and track data can be dumped to external devices for backup or sharing. USB MIDI can also be used for direct connection to various USB host devices.
USB connectivity is also used for easy operating system upgrades.
The Quicksilver 606 is available for immediate purchase. Price for the base CPU is $275 USD, with free installation for a limited time.

"A guided video demonstrating how to update the operating system of the Quicksilver 303 CPU. This shows windows being used for the upgrade procedure, but the process is the same for other operating systems."
Update: some pics and the official press release:
"Dallas, TX, April 04, 2012 - After months of testing and development, Social Entropy is releasing the Quicksilver 303 CPU Upgrade. Quicksilver 303 is a complete replacement CPU for the classic TB-303 BassLine Synthesizer. It uses a completely rewritten operating system that enhances and extends both pattern and track modes. All operations can be carried out while the sequencer continues playback. We have strived to maintain the classic feel of the sequencer, while removing the frustration.
Many features have been added to the operating system, with a focus on realtime performance and tweaking.
The sequencer engine supports standard step entry in pitch and time modes, while a new realtime record capability allows patterns to be entered live with the 303 keyboard or a MIDI controller. Editing of pattern information is now simple, with the ability to move forwards and backwards within a sequence while the pattern continues playback. A new chase LED makes it easy to visualize the location of notes in the pattern.
Functions like copy and paste, randomize, extend, rotate and reverse can be applied to pitch or time information independently. Patterns can be transposed in octaves or semitones in both pattern write and play modes. The transpose amount is stored with each pattern.
In pattern play mode, up to eight patterns can be chained for playback. A pattern restart and clock resync function makes sure that the music never stops during live performance!
The extended track mode allows for complete songs to be constructed using patterns. Each track step has settings for pattern transposition, multiple repeats or pattern chains.
Changing between modes can be performed without stopping the sequencer and all data is stored in EEPROM memory, eliminating the need for batteries.
Enhanced MIDI connectivity provides synchronization, sequencer input and output, as well as a new "MIDI Control Mode" which allows the buttons of the TB-303 to be controlled remotely by any device that can send MIDI note messages.
