Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. No he didn't... Today we are going to talk about the Bass Bot by Cyclone TT-303. Is this carbon copy of the original Roland TB-303 Bass Line the perfect acid synth. Is it still relevent with all the clones like the Behringer TD-3 around? Is the build quality a dealbreaker?

    I built my first X0XBox about a year before the Bass Bot was released. At the time the kit was the only way to get that authentic TB sound without selling a body organ and I probably put around 20 hours into painstakingly building it up. The cost of the kit plus my labour would probably come to around the same as buying one of these off the shelf. My ears can’t tell a difference between the two, not that KZread audio is exactly master quality, but that and the 303 silver box looks made me wonder if the kit was worth it for the time spent building it. And the answer is hell yeah it was worth it, might not look as cool but this isn’t a fashion parade and mine’s built to OCD standards. As the X0X and original TB essentially share the same schematic there is something particularly cool you can do both. There’s an internal preset pot that acts as a linearity control, separate to the actual tuning and it’s supposed to be adjusted so an octave up is exactly twice the frequency of a particular note. If it’s not set absolutely correctly the desired notes become increasingly detuned the further away from the centre you get. And that my friends is a beautiful thing when you want to embark upon a wigged-out AFX-style acid head-f**k. Lovely.

    There are never enough TB-303 clones and the Cyclone analog synth, which I had seen around the net, sounds mighty nice here. That said, Roland was indeed wise to update the TB-03 UI for an alternate to the traditional 303 workflow. As a side note, I confess I had held off buying the J-6 until I watched your episode, which has worked out nicely, actually. I hope more instruments come your way to review!

    Ahhhh the Bad Acid test :) Nice one, Pilz. That 3rd jam was _gettin' thar._ Most of the clones, including this one and the B, sound as some variation on a x0xb0x which is open source(OS). Having myself an og, a FR 777, FR Revo mk2, two x0xb0xes, and dicking about with my m8s Behringer, the thing I hear in all the clones (besides FR - which is closer to a 101 sound) is clipping in the VCA very soon as the resonance and EG level rises. All of the OS-based clones in every test I've heard tend to clip too soon, more or less. They typically get the basic seq+synth behavior and filter character(an offset diode ladder) down well enough, but the audio path sounds quite different at times vs the og. It's totally a "last 1 - 5 %' concern that won't even matter in many mixes/arrangements, but it CAN matter sometimes, and will def matter to the mixing engineer: _The og TB-303 doesn't clip like the clones do, especially both x0xb0xs and the B. It sounds bigger, less noisy, smoother and 'lazier' - and it stays in tune over octave jumps better. _ Something about how Roland QC'ed their builds in the early '80s makes (a sometimes significant) difference in the sound _as an instrument_ vs how the x0xb0x variants and other clones built by whoever in the last 20 years behave and sound. So.....Is the og worth a $1-2K dollar difference? Well, THAT all depends on how much acid you make... and _what acid makes of YOU._ 🙂 Huzzah!

    @@shaft9000 The 777 is GREAT!! I would agree with everything here. What I would say though, is that if you want THE 303 sound, there are better ways to get it. But, if you want something that works like one, with better interface, but has its own sound, then yes, the 777, some Elektron boxes, (with newer firmwares that have legato) and others would be top notch. I knew someone with a 777 in the early/mid 2000s, and it's definitely one of the cooler things of this nature.

    I own TT-303 MK2. There is one aspect that makes it very useful in my workflow - ability to punch in notes, accents and legatos in real time, like on Korg Volca bass. Soundwise, I prefer Behringer TD-3, which I control with MPC One sequencer (again, I use the same method to enter notes). Great video, as usual. If you could only keep memes for a second longer, they scroll too fast, before I had a chance to read them.

    used to use a real 303 a lot, to drive a proper synth (moog rogue), & learned to program its song-mode (it gets easier if you write it all out on paper first, & enter the patterns with the sound turned down, otherwise it insists on playing you what's already in the location you're about to write to, which is infuriating). best trick was taking the batteries out for a few minutes & letting its mind get scrambled, then put the batteries back in & have fun editing the messed up random patterns it's now filled itself with.
