We can not really call it a keyboard! No controllers, no polyphony, no aftertouch, no original MIDI. Patterns 16 max not, the choice of square or sawtooth wave, DIN sync, THE its acid and nothing else. :)

UTILIZATION

Simple Config, comic manual editing ridiculously complex patterns but we made it and paradoxically, we take the fold pretty quickly. :)

SOUNDS

It was nice to make me listen to all types of emulations more or less successful is in the low infra round and deep and shrill treble that TB is widening the gap with pretenders to the throne. Even if she does not know what else to do, she does divinely and is easy to forget its shortcomings. Obviously, it added a distortion and other effects allows access to a wider range of sounds and especially to realize the magnitude of the potato it in the stomach. In realizing deaf.

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last fifteen years, despite its light weight and plastic cabin, it remains robust.
The tempo spin for some time, but nothing too serious since it is mainly used in sync.
Quality / price ratio Cheros a bit at the time (5000 FF) although nickel and including all the original package (box, bag, manual and manual shortcuts). You could find at half the price, the acid is no longer fashionable, but they were not always in good condition. Although I have been very cool machines between hands, the 303 retains a unique grain that is its charm, and yes, it would hurt me, but if necessary, I would buy even at twice the price I paid (either current argus). It certainly is not for everyone but for those who love the acid much as me, this is a must-have essential for unbeatable! :)
