I will admit, though, that the sequencer takes a little getting used to due to the fact that you scroll through the notes rather than scrolling through the steps..its kinda weird at first, but for a live situation, this makes it easier to mess with loop points and such on the fly, plus its easier to add rests, glides, and accents.
Basically, you have 16 buttons on the bottom. When you hit a button, the note at that step comes up in the LED numbers..(nixie tubes woulda been cooler, but i digress! )
Also, the glide and accent info comes up..
At that step, you use up/down buttons to change the value of the note. Very cool..
It also has a sort of random mode.. If you wanna start with all random patterns, Jared stated that one could input any string of midi data into it during a dump, and that would be seen as sysex by the machine, and it would go ahead and place that info in the memory, whatever it might turn out to be.. very interesting!
Loop points and all other data seems to be ROCK solid and is able to be changed during play with no hiccup! wow..
I no longer want another tb303.. as far as im concerned, the tb303 no longer exists except in trax where ppl pay far too much for far too little..
This thing puts ANY mod you can do to the tb303 to shame! I would buy 10 of these before i would buy a tb303 for anything over 300 bux.. the tb303 will be put in its rightful place..Im just happy to have had the opportunity to be part of music history by being one of the first ppl to own one.. Its time to ditch the tb303 while you still can and buy one of these before your tb303 is rendered useless.
one thing REALLY GREAT about it is that it has NO BUGS!!! imagine that... a first release of a unit with no bugs?!?! How can this be!?! When Roland is supposedly soooo freakin smart, they constantly release buggy equipment, as does akai et al... I really think, too, that dsp based japanese stuff has once again been trounced on its ass by good old AMERICAN ingenuity and good ol ANALOG circuits!
The petition for the re-release of the tb303 is now a moot point.. here it is in all its original and futuristic mind enhanced massaged power and glory..bow down beyotches... )

"The sequencing is done in a similar way as the original
303, but much more friendly (ie. you have all the same features of the original
accent, glide, 3/4 and 4/4 time sig., plus a five octave oscillator range, and
pattern loop points. There is also a 4 digit display to show: note pitch, tempo,
transpose, plus the song and midi status.
All the pattern information can be recorded and/or changed while the sequencer
is running, and also is automatically saved.)
If you would prefer to use an external keyboard controller or sequencer to play
the analog section of the 777, you can do this with our midi features. You can
also use the 777's sequencer to play your midi or cv/ gate gear."

Plus it does it while retaining the groove of the sequencer and the sound of the real thing.. Hell, lets be honest, it is the real thing, only better and set up the way the real tb303 should have been..If the tb303 would have had all these features, it would have had to been produced in the millions to keep up with the demand!
