ah.... the tb303.... fond memories. I actually got quite handy at 
programming the thing at one time. the trick, in song-mode, is to 
turn the sound off while you are selecting patterns. the 303 always 
plays you what's currently at a song-step location after you've 
committed a change to the previous step, so you are constantly 
hearing bits of an old song, which might even be in a different key. 
write a list of the patterns you want it to play, & dial them in 
without listening....
one of my favourite tricks with the thing was to take out the 
batteries for just long enough to scramble it's brains, about three 
minutes IIRC. it would "make up" mad patterns of it's own, with 
glides & accents all over the shop, which one could then edit into 
something a tad more useful.
colin- you should try this & see how closely the p3's randomness 
approximates proper novram-scrambling.

duncan.
