Hello, I've programmed a sequence that spans 4 bars. The problem is I want to play the sequence at 480bpm but, my Kenton USB-solo won't allow the TB-303 to push past around 300bpm.
I've opened up the TB-303 and tuned up TM1 pot that affects the basic tempo. It seems that it only allows me to play it at the right tempo when unconnected to my Kenton box.

I figured if I quadrupled the bpm I want to write at and program in a 16 note sequence to span 4 bars, I can program in some very short staccato notes, and make the slide behave in an unusual way.
I just need to find a way to get my Kenton USB-solo to convince my TB-303 the it's ok to do this.

ah thanks, that's a cool slide effect!
something with a DINsync clock multiplier you can set independently per-MIDI channel would be ideal.
MIDIpal or future retro's upcoming rack MIDI processor they showed at NAMM might be able to do something like that.
or perhaps puredata or max in the software realm.
sorry i can't be of more assistance. limitations of this sort of are partly what led me back to the archaic ways of voltage control and the moneypit of modulars. unfortunately the 303 is not CV overide-able in stock form.
