Bear in mind that a real 303 also slows down the attack portion of the 
filter envelope when accent is on, as you increase the resonance.

That's why the resonance pot has a double track - one half provides 
feedback around the filter, the other varies the time constant of an RC 
circuit formed by C13/VR4/R46 so that as the resonance is increased, the 
attack is lagged by C13 giving the distinctive 303 "weoow".  It's damn 
near impossible to emulate on other synths ;-)  In fact, only 303 clones 
and one 303 softsynth get it nearly right...
