oddly enough not that many people in my close environment know about acid house/ when I'm explaining what (true) acid house is I almost always show this video..

Sir, you have one of the finest acid videos on youtube, respect!!

@Pieter13

Thanks Pieter, I knew when I made this vid that it would be of limited interest generally, but that the real old skool Acid nerds (like me!) would appreciate it. So comments like yours make it all worthwhile.

Now, if only I could get my 808 and 909 fixed, I could do some other classics...

Thanks for the inbox beatmunga. I used a real 303+707 also, but I changed up the drums and acid lines a bit as a personal thing. You ain't lying, that acid line is damn hard to figure out blind. Took me about 2hrs of trial and error programming-and you KNOW how hard it is to program a 303!!

Love the fact that you did yours LIVE!!

Cheers for the comment deejaytai.

I've been trying to work that line out for about 20 years since I first got a 303, so props to you for managing it in 2 hours! I could only manage it by chopping up a bar of the original into 16ths on Logic and trying to work out every step... Audio Realism Bassline plug in helped a lot,too.

Unfortunately, my 303 has never been able to store patterns, so I wanted to get it recorded for posterity before I had to turn it off!

@beatmunga

Amazing dedication!

Respect from an old house junkie.

@beatmunga What I did was draw 16 squares on a sheet of paper and listen to the original over&over&over....until I figured out most of the notes (including the accent & slides) and wrote 'em down in the squares. Then, at the notes it didn't quite sound right, I guessed until it sounded close enough where I couldn't tell. I called myself saving that sheet of paper but I don't know where the hell it is! LOL

No.

1 x 707 and 1 x 303.

Like the original. That's why it sounds like it.
