There’s LOTS of control too.
I’m just running it off my phone. As it is so tiny, I’ve CC-ed all the knobs.

For $10 I’ll probably check out Pure Acid. I look at music apps like spending a few dollars playing a mobile game now and again. But at least with music apps its like putting $10 into a slot machine that will actually pay out lol

The XY FX pad can give some pretty tasty results.

Modded to have resonance maxed out constantly

And he uses it without batteries or a PSU, man like his acid quiet.

Je suis Craig.
This is the only great song to ever feature a 303 bassline.

Ah haven‘t thought about that, thanks. Via camera connection thing? I also still dont have an ipad, running it on iphone. Altough I get along with the knobs as longtime rebirth user on iphone 3…
I wished there was a acidtrance version with possiblity to enter some synth pad notes a la digitone chord mode. I have drambo, but too lazy to learn, too complex for a quick jam in the train and probably really not ideal on a phone…
Yes, a4 is niice for acid. There’s even the dual 303 kit in the files section.
dn also thanks to @Microtribe tutorial.
perfect for simple acidtrance attempts, just i prefer pad sounds on a4. A5 or a8 with the songmode would be my favourite simple acidtrance synth.

What’s wrong with the accent? It sounds fine to me. Then again I don’t really care about analog vs digital so maybe I’m missing some analog “edge” or something.
TB-03 will probably always be my pick, unless someone else comes out with a clone with an updated sequencer and reverb/delay built in.
It’s the TB-3 for me. Lots of sounds and random pattern + accent, slide & octave shift generators = tons of inspiration. Which reminds me I’ll have to hook it up to the OT soon and sample it to high heaven. I don’t care if it sounds like the original or not, because I don’t make acid

I really like the Acidlab modules and Bassline desktops. Though I think the TD-3 is a bit closer to the original 303 after a quick play (not an expert).
I use the MB33 a ton. It’s tiny and simple and quite flexible. You can sweep between saw and square and it drives a lot internally. All useful to me.
I want wonky, sloppy analogue from a 1 osc synth and find the idea of a digital replica of analogue circuitry a really weird concept. I mean I understand it from a product marketing point of view only. Wouldn’t it suck to be an engineer trying to mimic a parallel technology instead of playing to inherent strengths? #overthinkingyouracid

I just plug it in with the phone charging cable.

on the OG 303, and on most clones, if you have two or three accented notes in a row, the filter opens up a little more with each one creating a bubbling/rising effect which is quite famous. as a result there are some patterns you simply cannot recreate on the TB-03! it’s all down to the behaviour of a capacitor apparently…

Interesting! I didn’t know about that.
One odd thing I like about the TB-03 is that the “mutate” random feature sometimes throws notes way out of the standard octave range. The low notes become really interesting “prickles” with high resonance and a bit of distortion.

The Acidlab Bassline in that comparison isn’t the latest. it’s the early version 1 without internal sequencer. the latest is the improved Bassline 3 which comes with a sequencer. i owned it a couple of years ago, but didn’t liked very much. something felt not right with the sound somehow and the round wobbly buttons sucked. it sounded OK, but after i got an Acidlab Drumatix 606 clone, which had issues with the Tom Sounds which were a little too quiet and out of tune, i separated from that company. i would recommend the X0Xb0X over the BL3, which is also a little cheaper in price
