I know no one agrees with me but it is ok...I still like to cause a ruckus. I have a Mc-09 and honestly easily Achive Tb-303 bass and leads with no issue, Although I do admit the sound is much better when squashed by some compression. In refference to the comparison though. I think the x0xB0x sounds the leaste like the 303 in reguards to the Low end. x0x simply has more of it. I must say that the software was pretty spot on though....
I think you can defenitly hear the difference between ABL(or any other emulator) or a 303/x0xb0x. Its the crispy analog sound! Most people dont hear the difference but real acid lovers do
@dwaynedibbly it was a nice twist to find out that my favourite sounding channel was actually coming from the software abl! This si very pleasing for me cos now I can download it for free, just gotta setup a good midi controller setup for it tho cos i had pure software production.
Interesting video cheers. A/Bing them all side by side I think I like the sound of the ABL plugin best. I has a slightly sharper stand out sound. I imagine it will stand out in a heavily compressed modern mix better. I still love my Waldorf Pulse best though :)
The way the guy throws the faders with like a real flamboyant flick of the wrist is the gayest thing I've seen on YouTube in years. How anyone can make 303s gay is hard to imagine but you achieved it with your gay fader flicking, you camp limp-wristed fade master. Repeatle you are the gayest !
The differences between the clones and original are so small it's negligible. You can make an acceptable Acid track with any one of those units. I used to own a real 303 and yes I was a fool to sell it however, I now use the ABL Bassline 2 and in all honesty it sounds so close to the real thing that I'm not so bothered about the loss of my real 303. People who argue about the differences nowadays are basically just splitting hairs IMO.
don't really like your XOX. Sounds a bit dodgy. I like the sound of the ABL though. I've only got the test version they done called FreeBee. And...Yeah, two 303s? Give ME one of them.
All Comparisons are quite useless. I did quite thoroughly tests w.Korg MS20/Poly6.
The conclusion I got to:Listen to each (clone/orig) separately. Forget knob feel, tracking or even how the sound behaves different...Why? A transistor is a unique device, it´s PN-transitions purity and/or unlinear-personality is not to neglect. A capacitors R/C/L-amount and phase repsonse fluctuates it´s character with each current cycle. Though, satisfied I am by listening to ABL. They´re skilled in the art.
ah explains it, still it was probably something fixable :) its harder to get them now since the kits are discontinued, still if you can find the rare transistors they still sell the pcbs and panels :-)
yeah i know (i moderate on their forum) but if you are in europe its still quite expensive to build one, what with shipping and import taxes (a lot of the parts are us made). When you figure the time for building and testing its not suprising they sell for so much. They are worth it though, since one built correctly is pretty much like having a brand new tb303.
Arrrrgh - every time I see a new video from you I get so excited...but alas, it is only another comparison! :) I'd love to hear another full track of yours...

i think part of the problem is that the settings don't always seem to be the same for each thing, it makes it harder to A/B them when you switch.
They all sound pretty similar otherwise...

no not really. there also was a homepage where they hat samples of much more 303 clones with really same settings and they sounded very different.

something sounds wrong with the x0x, i've built two of them and they dont sound like that here :-O were the correct parts used?
phono1337 3 years ago 2
Yes, the envelope behaved very strange. I didn't build it myself, bought it on eBay.
I didn't like the sound of my x0xb0x so I traded it for a SH-101 with a friend.
I would still like to get another x0xb0x though...

actually they are doing one more run. serves those dipshits selling them on ebay for three, four times the price right.

@phono1337 perhaps it is not calibrated correctly. as far as i know you have to use an oscilloscope to do it properly. perhaps he did it by ear ;)
