hi, try putting your adsr through a slew limiter. i'm not promising a 303, but you'll notice how much of the "sound" is indeed due to the envelopes, as claimed in those links. you get a less exponential curve which, for my tastes anyway, makes a huge improvement to many classic s

There's a difference between 'classic' smooth bubbly acid and dancey distorted acid. It's true many analog synths can do distorted basslines but I only know 3 clones that sound like a real 303: Analogue Solutions Trans-Bass-Xpress Bassline TB-X TB-303 Adafruit x0xb0x AudioRealism

Getting the 303 sound, is more about "getting the classic acid 303 sound". I had one in the 80's and thought it was crap, due to the fact that i was trying to make basslines (it was after all REALLY called the Roland Bassline) and it was only upon the arrival of "Aciiiiiid" that

Hi There, When using the A-106, IMHO it can help to limit the input signal to only 10-20% of the max. range. This way, resonance control responds more "MS-10 like" IMO. Alternatively, the A-101-1 Steiner Filter can sometimes sound very much like an MS-10 VCF. Else, you can perhap

Yes, definitely, a VCA before a waveshaper is very good way to get animated waveforms. All good suggestion here... I think alot people are using waveshapers where they would put a vcf, but it is much more affective after a vca OR a lo-pass gate :) Tony > To: Doepfer_a100@yahoogro

You don't need the A-190 to use the A-155, you can just as easily drive the A-155 from an LFO. But the combination of A-155 and A-190 will let you sync your sequencing to MIDI. I find the A-155 to be a great tool for improvisation, and the "twisting knobs and pushing switches" ap
