I don't know what this website is made off but not being able to use pgup/pgdown to move around is super annoying.
edit: This is, without a doubt, the best soft-synth emulation I know of these days and it's a hell of a lot of fun: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/pure-acid/id1481283602
303 heads won't be fooled for a second, but it sounds quite cool regardless. edit: This is, without a doubt, the best soft-synth emulation I know of these days and it's a hell of a lot of fun: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/pure-acid/id1481283602
As a reference for what 303s are actually like, early Plastikman acid/minimal tracks often have really intense 303 elements. The filter's characteristic and can have enormous resonance and sonority, but the ability to combine that with accents and produce wild dynamic effects is something you don't find in other synths.

Confirmed. I wondered if it was a hardware hacker, as I've built a couple x0xb0xes from kits, but it was not. I guess this is where we are? I mean, 'we' that doesn't include me, 'cos I have x0xes and can do stuff with them.

The fun thing was the Roland Sync. You could sync up all the TB-303, TB-909 and all the others with a 5-pole DIN cable. The sync was badly implemented. It lagged, it had latency. However! As soon as you cabled all together their imperfections added up and they started to groove like nothing that has been heard before.
Perhaps this take has something to do with calling a five-pin DIN plug '5-pole'? Something's wrong and backwards here.
Again, I guess this is where we are now? I remember reality, but here we are.
well by building 303, I would really expect building, something this guy do[1], not just simply using a filter in some shitty web app. [1] https://www.youtube.com/@MoritzKlein0/
No words can describe the feeling of original Yamaha cs-80.
It is very unfortunate as there is no true alternative to a 80kg, age issues ridden, ultra expensive antique device.
It warms my heart to see the 303 getting a renaissance

I've got 3 hardware versions in my studio - ranked from best to worst for emulation: a T-8, a TD-3, and a TB-3. The TB-3 is rubbish, the T-8 is excellent, but I still most often reach for Pure Acid - it seems to have that variability in the filter that a real 303 has.
There's also a modern version called x0xheart which is more SMD components, and it has yet another sound: sort of more surgical and pristine than the older through-hole builds, but still distinctly NOT a softsynth. This is a x0xheart: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lgBa2d7gsPo
Hardware hackers who like acid music are heartily encouraged to explore this sort of thing! If nothing else, the modding scene around 303s is great fun :)
