Anybody own a 303?

Alright guys?

Just got myself a Tb-303, loving it..... apart from the fact ive no idea how to use it properly!

Are there any manuals that make any sense online? I downloaded the PDF version of the original, but it makes such little sense and jumps around all over the place. I try and follow it but when things dont work im left totally lost!

I can get it to play... but what my main gripe is, is getting a pattern made of a length that i choose, and playing it back.

Anyone got any quick tips?

Id be eternally grateful!

Michael

Can't really help you there, but congrats on getting yourself the most awesome instrument ever created

They do have a nasty reputation for being hard to program.

Used to own four of them at one point in time.

But when people offer ridiculous money for them, think ₤2,000 just for one, you sell them...

TB303 Programming Video

Basically, you start on step one
enter note, slide, accent, gate as required.
Press next step.
Repeat

If you think the 303 is a mother****** to program sequences on, try it's sibling, the MC-202 (an sh101 without a keyboard basically)
Holy cow what a bitch

Have fun
