303 addiction

Exactly the same here. Still got both tho, the Avalon is just wonderful and the TT is worth too little money to make sense parting ways with.

And also, there is no such thing as too many 303, right? :grin:

TB-3 vs UDG Circuit Tracks/Rhythm case

I have an Avalon, I find the best reverb to put it through is a Alesis Quadraverb.

i suppose the tb-03 is the best one with midi ccs?

i’d love a tt-303 but the only parameters that respond to cc are sustain and slide lol

As far as I’ve found it’s the only one with all the parameters accessible via cc. Works just as well as I’d hoped!

I was playing a cheap Korg SQ-64 I got ($120!) into a TD-3-MO, whoa that’s some fun. I didn’t realize how nice it was to have CV/GATE access to the SLIDE and ACCENT params, it’s a barrel of monkeys now.

Korg SQ-64 is a little weird, and the workflow, at first, it’s like trying to jog with a broom tied to your ankle, but it does eventually make sense, and it’s worlds better than the onboard sequencers of pretty much any Behringer thing.

just to add if its not been added already that the norand mono mk1 is sick as fuck

Today I made a short track with TD-3 & Ableton: a lovely combo IMO. Ableton’s delay works great with square wave :star_struck:
God, how I like 303’s sound!

There’s not really a good reason not to get more 303. :slight_smile:

I don’t think I could have described the SQ-64 better if I had 52 years to come up with the description. :smiley: It has SOOOO much going for it, but with just a little more effort, thought, and maybe another inch of panel space to give it more buttons to directly select functions it could have been up there with the best. I liked everything it did, just not some of the things I had to do to make it do them. :smiley: I felt as though I had a dusty, cobweb-laden-broom semi-securely fastened to my ankle with a little bit too much twine!

Excellent sequencer burdened with interface shortcuts that never should have been taken.

It’s like when Spongebob asks Sandy if they’re having fun, and she says ā€œAlmost some!ā€ :smiley:

It’s SSSSSSSSSOOOO almost amazing!

I kind of miss the TB-3.

i can relate — i definitely miss second TB-3, and i’m on the hunt.

Between my x0xb0x, TD-3 MO and any frequency shifter I can get my hands on, I am good. I sometimes get close to the hallucinary output of a DFAM-line with some teebee going into f shifter, always fun

was about to purchase a tb-03 (solely because of full midi implementation) and then i saw an mam mb33 mk2 at a local marketplace going for a decent price…

anyone with one care to chime in?

'bit late but the MB33 is very nice. Especially the seamless blending from saw to square makes it unique. Can also be overdriven a little by itself. Had one connected to my A4 – worked perfectly.


I’m currently torn between a x0xb0x and a TT-303. Both cost around 200€ and the TT-303 being a bit more modern but the pot caps seem very short. Can they be replaced easily? Any experience with that?

EMX can do that…

As for pot caps on a TT. Same as replacing any pot caps, you just need to know the shaft diameter. Then find a cheap part from where ever.

I replaced some of the caps on my Xoxbox.

Shame on you indeed.
Its like 5 x Plaits. With a drum machine. Paramter locks, loads of fx. Etc.

If you like messing with synths, its a good one.
Can do a reasonable acid sound, not amazing, but good enough.

I did post some current sounds from mine recently.

Im actually quite nicely surprised by how good it is for acid. Is it as good as my Xoxbox? No. The filter and envelope just doesnt have the range. Is it fun? Fuck yeah.

Are you taking about the Korg EMX-1?

Pretty sure the oscillators can’t morph from square to saw

its already gone lol
