Just an acid idea...

I'll share this idea with anyone listening and perhaps you'll beat me to it. The challenge: program and utilize only one pattern on the tb-303 and construct an entire EP with it.

The unimaginative might write a four-bar pattern and make four songs, each with a different one-bar pattern inside. I feel it would be masterful, however, to take the same pattern and slow it, speed it, tweak it, effect it, reverse it and chop it to make it have various feels.

I'm going to go try right now.

Square Wave Rave

Hey all,

Thanks for tuning in. For my inaugural post I figured I'd share the latest news from my world (i.e. my studio): I've received my Devilfish back from Robin Whittle! It was a bit scary at first because I couldn't get it to sound like the original tb-303 I'd sent, but that's changing as I practice more with it. I've only logged about 60 minutes to date...

So far, my favorite addition to the tb-303 (aside from the extensive repairs carried out) is the accent decay pot. Tuned way up, you can get the 303 to really speak every time an accent hits in your pattern.

That is all for now...
