After four freaking years, I finally got my TB-303...mint condition and all. Anyways...

I've got a little problem...when I make a pattern and play it back, it sometimes plays the pattern but transposed a few notes from what I originally made it. Can anyone explain this?

(22)Paid 1800 Dutch guilders (about$850)
for it and won't sell it , even over my dead body! See , price doesn't matter that much no more if you're determined to have THAT real sound,and knowing that chances are you keep it for the rest of your life.Anyone want to purchase a $5000 car (1995) which probably has a life-span to 2003?
Heads-up.

By the way, was there really only 20000 made? When you consider that only a fraction of that number will be around after so long, it seems remarkable that I managed to get one in the first place!

I have read that 20,000 TR606s were produced and that the TB303 was not nearly as popular, with estimates as low as 2000 units worldwide. I think I read it in an American mag a few years back, also the 808 sold about 30,000 units and the 909 11,000 units. I may have these figures wrong or mixed up but I definately remember that the 303 was MUCH rarer than it's drum machine counterparts and that the 909 is much rarer than the 808 and 606 due to bad timing of it's release (to late). I think it was in Keyboard magazine that I read it

Hey R@F -

Here's the website of someone else who has already completed a combined 808 and 909 clone. He's helped me by giving me the original ROM images for the cymbal / hihat sounds for the 909 circuits.

Actually I think it was on a different thread that we were talking about this, but never mind... ;-)

Yeah Colin is a member of the synth DIY too. Did you ask him about the 2SD1469's??
Did you see his nice small Midi2DinSync converter? Looks very interesting! I'm currently searching for someone who has a PIC-programmer.

I can program the PIC for you if you like. PICs are my speciality. I designed the firmware for a number of midi/cv converters, including the midiDAC and the midi/cv converter embedded in the forthcoming TB3030M from Oakley Sound Systems. I'll probably design a similar converter for myself after the easter hols for my tb303.

Yeah we did discuss the 1469's. I think that, just like yourself, he's experimenting with equivalents.

Cheers,

Trev

I'm amazed! Trev you seem to be an allround hardware freak

My skills are limited to pure analog stuff. I thought of getting into microcontrollers but then I always prefer to use my spare time for producing, hehe.
So what's your price for a programmed 12C508?
