Seems odd to go to so much effort to recreate the look but whack a 24db filter in there.
yeah, really not sure what that's about.. I listened to one of the vids through my iTouch speakers, and even there I could hear a distinct differenceArddhu wrote:Seems odd to go to so much effort to recreate the look but whack a 24db filter in there.
Already been done, hopefully the case will be available at some point so that can get fleshed out moreSir Ruff wrote: Why not just re-do the xoxbox hardware into that form factor?

Do people actually at all care about the form over the functionality when it comes to a synth that came as ugly as the 303 anyway?
Hmm, someone over at gearslutz just said the opposite - that these are not x0xb0xes, nor built by TT but "designed by a 3rd party in the US". Dunno then. Anyway, happy with my Acidlab Bassline and I certainly don't understand copying the looks like that (or of course I understand *why*, just don't see the point when you could do it better).space6oy wrote:ComputerControlled wrote:These new TT303s that everyone is geeking about... they're nothing but Technology Transplant x0xb0xes in a new wrapper.

Thanks for that.Synthacon wrote: The filter is a -24dB/octave filter built from a diode ladder. It can be thought of as four -6dB/octave stages connected one after another. However, the cascading action isn’t text-book perfect. Unlike the transistor ladder-filter, each successive stage of the diode ladder loads the previous one, producing a rounding-off of the initial filter slope. So the filter tends to a -24dB/octave roll-off but takes longer to get there than other designs. This gives the impression of a brighter-sounding filter than typical four-stage filters. Indeed, close to the cutoff frequency, it does shows a similar roll off to a three-stage, -18dB/octave filter.
Also adding how the power supply affects the 303's sound. The 303 has an inductor based DC/DC converter that affects the behaviour on accents and high resonance settings, this makes it smoother, more liquid sounding, compressed and more dynamic on the 303.Synthacon wrote:Just a point on the filter and 24db.... To quote my synth tech, who has designed a few synths and repaired many....

Just thought it may interest you.
