Roland recently reissued many of their classic synths including an updated 303. Now it’s called the TB-03 and it has a “friendly” step programming option in addition to the original crazy style:

- tjr225 8y agoThe only reason I didn't mention the tb-03 is that it is essentially a digital(software) option, whereas the TT-03 is still analog. I still think it sounds pretty good.
- malvosenior 8y agoVery true. The look and feel of the TB-03 is second to none though. Imho the build quality is much higher than the original 303.
- bascule 8y agoThe TB-03 provides a fairly faithful and accurate reproduction of the TB-303's sound. The TT-303, on the other hand, despite being "circuit identical", can sound downright weird at times (as can Roland's other "analog modeling" 303 reproduction, the TB-3) Here is a 4 way comparison of the 4 synths I just mentioned complete with waveform visualizations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8CAEUU_ics https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8CAEUU_ics
- rorykoehler 8y agoBehringer are also bringing out a bunch of clones. I think they may have just released a 303 clone. Can't speak to the quality of it though. Always found Behringer kit to have a high noise floor but that was at least a decade ago so things may have changed.
- stef25 8y agoBehringer is generally awful, but check out their Model D. Peter van Hoesen has an excellent review of it. It's almost a crime how good it is, considering how much cheaper it is than the Moog it's copying. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWhoakNEoKU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QWhoakNEoKU
