Happy 303 Day to all who celebrate

I do my best to add alt text to images, and now some platforms offer automated alt text, and one such service provided the following:

May be an image of text that says 'MXIN WAVEFORM SYNC IM TUNING CUT OFF FFFREO RESONANCE ENV MOD 2Roland DECAY TEMPO ACCENT CV TRACK PATT PATT.GROUP #* GATE ME OUTPUT MODE SLOW WRITE NV FAST Bass Line PLAY TRACK BAR RESET PATTERNCLEAR VOLUME PLAY WRITE PITCH PITCHMODE MODE c PATTERN C# D$ E TB-303 Computer Controlled F# AUN BATTERY G# A A# B POWER SW OFF c FUNCTION NORMAL MODE DEL MAX INS TIME MODE RUN RUN/STOP STOP BAR DOWN $ BACK UP ACCENT SELECTOR DEL SLIDE INS 3 4 D.S 5 6 78 a STEP 9 0 100 WRITE WRITE/NEXT NEXT 200 TAP'

Happy 303 Day and the story of how the track(s) More Acid came about.

@disquiet

"Designed to simulate bass guitars, it was a commercial failure and was discontinued in 1984." - c.f. wikipedia.org

@lobingera @disquiet indeed it was. It only went on to form the foundation of almost every #acid, #house, #techno and #dance track for the next two decades.

The 303: putting chirp and wub in #bonkwave since before you could bonk.

@lobingera @disquiet
It succeeded because it failed so hard people could get them real cheap at second hand shops which meant lots of people using them, leading to wide spread success!
