Talk:Roland TB-303

message: It is definitely sawtooth and square. Sawtooth is definitely the more popular of the two, at least for acid.
Somebody mentioned that "production lasted only 18 months, resulting in 10,000 units" I find that very hard to believe that only 10,000 have been made. IT would seem that such a popular instrument would have been a bit more available at the time... Then again, I don't see many people toting their 808's either! --HL-SDK 19:03, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Do we need a list of musicians that use the TB-303? That's like listing all the musicians that use the electric guitar in their songs.
I too vote for removing the list of musicians having used the TB-303 since first of all it isn't very relevant, and second of all it isn't accurate. Many many more artists have used the TB-303.
* I removed it. --Grm wnr 21:30, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: The long paragraph on Rebirth has no place in the TB-303 article. Won't somebody start a Rebirth article, so the paragraph can be reduced to a mere sentence with a link to the Rebirth article? Joyrex 20:12, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

message: The section entitled "List of musicians who use the TB-303" is highly suspicious. Many of the names appear to be album titles, not musicians. Someone should go through them and remove unsubstantiated claims.
well, The TB-303 was used by Daft Punk to make the song "Da Funk", in their album Homework. now that can be proved if you listen to remakes on the 303, it sounds exactly the same. I remember reading it in an interview of them however i can't bring myself to find it. I own a 303 as well, it sounds completely the same. (EDIT 12/13/11: I found some proof, sounds like patterns i can make on my 303. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOOl8jO8TD4&feature=related   about 0:48)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.82.240.199 (talk) 00:08, 11 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Is there any reliable source on the number of units made? Most internet sources quote 20000 units rather than 10000 units. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.215.220.113 (talk) 15:13, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The filter circuit is in fact very similar to Moog's diode ladder circuit, except that transistors are used. The base and collectors of each are connected together, so they behave like diodes, conducting as soon as the voltage reaches a certain point. I never understood why they "wasted" more expensive transistors in this way, but possibly it was to get around patent issues. 213.173.165.130 15:32, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Filter not that unusual 

message: The article incorrectly states the filter slope is 64dB/oct when in fact it is a 4th-order, 4-pole, 24dB/octave filter.  There is a common misconception that it is a 18dB 3-pole which is incorrect.  There is a detailed analysis here.. http://www.timstinchcombe.co.uk/synth/diode_18_24/diode.html  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.186.9.236 (talk) 10:31, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Orange Juice's "Rip it Up" was not the first UK hit to feature the synthesizer, "In the Heat of the Night" by Imagination which was released in 1982 and reached #22 on the UK pop chart precedes it by a year or so. I'm not saying "In the Heat of the Night" was the first, but "Rip it Up" was definitely not. The source may be wrong, it might be worth checking out. InTechnicolour (talk) 06:10, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

message: Can we take the Volca Bass out of the list of commercial clones? Or at least mention at the end, that it is not a clone despite the looks? (Since people will keep on adding it.)
Yes, the Volca is an acid bass synth and it has some design clues clearly pointing to the TB-303, however. It is not designed to replicate the TB-303 sound. This said, it is an amazing synth in its own right. It might even have the potential to become a legendary synth itself.
Also, I want to clarify, that while Accent can not be programed on the device itself, it can be played through MIDI (max. velocity).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by GreenBlinkingLED (talk • contribs) 01:21, 13 January 2018 (UTC)

message: that well-known music magazine....
who cares what a business mag thought of the sound? or at least, let's have the name of the writer involved, so that we can assess whether they have any (ahem) business commenting on the veracity or otherwise of this bass instrument.
