Hi guys, I've been wondering, what exactly are these 303 things? What do they do? I like music, and would like to create it, but I clueless about these things. If you have a 909, would it be wise to still use a 303 as well? etc... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
What is google? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Some search engine for finding information, like info about 303s etc? Why do you ask? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

i thought you had posted your music here before. you had a "listen to my music and i'll listen to yours" thread. and as i recall, you never listened to my music. you fucking tricked me into listening to your music, you bastard. for this reason, i can't reveal the secret of the 303 to you. |

those x0x arent version numbers |

please google, dont forget to add "tb" to the 303, and "tr" to the rest... then you shalth knoweth |

I remember looking a site with a bunch of pictures of the things, but they never said what exactly you do with each. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
Okay, I'll see what I can find. |
||||||||
|

i can explain that here basicly, the TB303 is used for the acid bassline sound in ACID music, and the TR x0x ones are mostly used in the same music too. Tr606 was the drummachine brother of the tb303. The TR-x0x ones are all drummachines. clear? clear. listen ceephax you'll get it |

, but read down that thread and you should find a DL of Re-birth 2.0. A pretty good software emulation of the 303,808 and 909. Enjoy. |

The transistor bass 303 was supposed to be a realistic bass-partner for serious musicians, but because the sound was so unrealistic nobody bought them and they became dirt cheap. Then some poor black people in detroit started buying them at their low price and eventually figured out that tweaking the cut/res in realtime while the pattern was playing could create some very cool and squelchy sounds; acid. |
||||||||

I hate 808 snares! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, they are classic but their sound turns me off when i hear it in a track. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think they're the best snares ever actually. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
let's snare fight! |

Then people's love of the 303 blew out of all proportion and people started paying way over the odds for a very limited bit of hardware, in the misguided belief that buying a genuine 303 (as opposed to using the near-indistinguishable, once mastered, Audiorealism Bassline VST) will give them the programming skills of Mssrs. Atkins, May, Saunderson, et al. |

i suggest to Roland that if they want to continue the series they should take hex numbers to follow the three-number where first and last are same and the middle one is nothing but a zero tradition, like: Roland TRA0A, B0B and so on until the F letter. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Indeed indeed. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahaha what programming skills ?? they used to take the batteries out + put em back in to get it to fill with random patterns :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A couple of them admitted to doing that on some tracks, but then that's sort of filtered by their good taste actually selecting which of those patterns to use. Then there's going back and tweaking those random patterns to, for example, eliminate one note that doesn't work, or change the U/S/A/D settings.There's also the performance aspect of their use of rhythmically twisting the cutoff/res. knobs which a lot of people seem not too 'get' and instead do rather mechanically, if at all. I don't know what it is, but there's something tragically mediocre about a lot of acid lines and the truly killer ones are a rare event. |

yeah know what u mean like the best ones are pure sex it can be an acid bassline and NOT be a PROPER acid bassline, u dont even notice it... its just another synth in there the knob twisty bit is true too...when it goes WhuH whuuuH ! in phuture acid trax im thinking about. its chewy im going to listen to "this is acid" now |

gescom / slow acid ,4min into it now THAT is in-fuking-credible acid |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
6min into slow acid now THAT is a dripping wet acid line |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I definately agree that you get ones in tracks that just seem like other synth lines and you don't even notice them. |

like the Tom Jenk. one in "Whooshie"? EPICCOORREEE |

Toxif, is that supargreg #1 |

What would you suppose Aphex used for Byddhonchord? And how about Squarepusher on Theme from Ernest Borgnine? Whatever Autechre used for Incunabula is magical... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, the lovely melodies in Theme from Ernest Borgnine are made with an SH-101, except for the last few minutes - that acid bassline is the TB-303. Also, the drums on Bike and Autriche from Incunabula were made with a TR-606. |

I used to own a 303, but I sold it when I was broke. The 202 is loads better though. My friend has one - it is great fun to play with and the sounds are so good you just want to eat them. |

If you want some killer acid lines, check out the Flashbulb. his acid lines are fucking sick. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the mc-202 is ok, but needs other kit to support it up. but can be modified to be a nice crazy semi-modular synthesizer (not quite a ms-20 though) with built in sequencer.....ACIIIIIIIIEEEEEED mr.fingers earnt his name...tweak tweak keep on moding in the real world......... ;) |

GESCOM - SLOW ACID ACID TO END ALL ACID |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the 202's sequencer is a pain, though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if roland re-released this stuff. soo many people would get it. and theyd be heaps fucken rich. and everyone would be happy. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
man, if slow acid didnt have the word acid in it. i so wouldnt of realised it was acid... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah 202 seq is a pain... especially live. wish all was as easy to use as a 606 ;) anyone made hilarious acid tracks using "rebirth" ??? or good acid tracks........ ? |
