Tell me you've made more with your 303.. i'd love to see more. i'm always trying find new ways to use my old friend. this is the sickest most rad 303 vid online to date,.

@nyktovus No I don't use it that much in production actually :P just for fooling around live when I want to have some fun.

The synth gear/fx and serious production are two separate worlds for me.

This is wicked. Kudos.

I'm not a DJ -- I'm a guitarist/loopist with a Roland Handsonic that I run through a bunch of effects. I'm investigating the 303 as another source of beats. I see a lot of videos for trance and house (which I'm not huge on). Yours is one of few for what I see as "cooler" styles of music. This brings me to my question...

(Other than the beat you use in the video) Is the 303 useful for downtempo, slower grooves, dubstep, etc? What about more ambient and sparse loops?

[inofaith]

@samjonathanjowett You could use it for a lot of styles. Electronic styles. Thing is, lots of genres contain breakbeats or sampled (real) drums. compared to that, the MC303 sounds kindo clean n digital. Don't get me wrong, it has THE Roland drumkits sounds. the 909 and 808 kits really pack a punch. But it all depends on what you intend to use it for. Genres like HipHop, Dubstep and DnB do sometimes contain Roland samples, but only as part of layers of drums. Almost never "as-is"

did you make the loops in ableton or the sounds ... sounds wicked :) like the setup!

[inofaith]

@69audioprofit The drums are from the MC-303 and the synth bassline is from ableton.
