Folks, I've got another project in the works, soon to be at the beta testing stage. It's a tiny daughterboard to fit inside a TB303, that adds midi in and out. This isn't another cv/gate modification. The board replaces the DAC latch in the 303 with a PIC processor, and hooks into the gate, accent and slide control lines. Installation requires no cutting of tracks - it just needs the removal of a 16 pin IC, and three resistors. The board will occupy the area inside the 303 shown here: http://www.colinfraser.com/misc/mb303-board-area.jpg The DAC IC is replaced with a socket for the board to fit into, and the three resistors are replaced with leads to the board. Another 5 leads run to the midi in/out sockets. I'll probably use a single 5 pin mini-din, with a Y-lead to full size sockets. My main purpose in designing this is to allow the simple capture of TB303 patterns into P3, though it does also allow the 303 sequencer to drive any external synth, and any external sequencer or keyboad to drive the 303. Anyone here interested in a cost price beta version ? It'll be about 15ukp including postage. Cheers, Colin f

Any P3 owners with a TB303 ?
