As you are not a 303 purist, then I would go for Roland TB-3.
The sound is nearly there, and also some fun features like 2 types of pattern randomizers (my fave is the one that just randomizes octaves, slides, and accents, but keeps notes intact)
Plus it has midi, can be usb powered, as well as function as a 96khz USB audio interface for your DAW, if you’re into that. Up to 32 step sequencer is also nice.[/quote]
Thanks Adam, but I have to pick between the mentioned two as there are two great deals nearby.
I have nothing against the TB-3 at all, listened to it and it sounds brill but I used it at a music shop and just didn’t fancy the feel of it.
Thanks for the advice:)
