Well, it sorted itself actually.. that was just for like two/three days after not having touched the 303 for some time. I think it was telling me something there & then

Anyway, when I get the chance (read : get off my ass) I'll have it checked out just to be sure... cause the reason I also shouted in here is : I still am smitten with this thing and know for certain it will get accompanied by a second one within a year or so. One three-o-three just doesn't always cut it. Not too long ago I took it to my mate's place who has one aswell and to freak with two machines (one as low-end bassline, one as screaming lead) is plain wicked aciiid. hehe..

Yeah, I've been doing much of the music thing lately. + Yesterday I dropped in for some time, I logged off an hour later cause it was sooo quiet. Of course, only later did I realise I was in #deetee

I love my 3oh3.

I really hope there is a full-on acid revival soonish. I want to hear some new hard acid stuff. I can only play this stay up forever/true love stuff for so long before I get bored.

Do you have a midi sync? I'm hoping to get a conversion done this year.

just get a 777. 90% of the 303 sound plus a whole lot more. midi in, out and cv in, out for gate, filter and note. even works as a midi/cv converter. all for less than another 303.

yeah I know.. but no patch memory and more importantly, not that sequencer.

I've borrowed my friend's 777 and I can't get it to sound like a real 303 for the life of me. Actually, running it through a distortion pedal kinda masks the sound and could fool some people, but those kind of people can be fooled by anything going through distortion and having it's cutoff tweaked.

The 777 just doesn't 'bubble' like a real 303 does. And Maarten is right about the sequencer. It's just not the same.

yeah it can't do the square wave perfectly. its good at low freqs but when you raise the pitch it might as well be a basstation or something. i think the sawtooth is dead on though. somebody ran both a 777 and a 303 through an oscilloscope and funny enough the 303 only puts out a square wave at low freqs. up high it shifts to a trapezoid and eventually almost a triangle. obviously this "feature" wasn't emulated on the 777. when i think of what midi to cv converters cost though i just chuckle to myself. cheapest one i've seen was that doepfer one for $200. i only paid $500 for my 777. anyway to each his own...
