Noize Guerilla (Subalot Sound System)

Lovely sound, nice look, very comfy. Quite pricey though.

Absolutely nice interface. Could have 2 more inputs... but that's just my 2cents.

I like it more than the APC40. Just my 2 cents.

Great effects tool.

Great synth, a bit big, but the feedback filter is just pure awesome. It has a plastic sound which not everyone likes but it's a good opposite to the analog synths I own. Only downside is, this thing keeps aging and with use it keeps dissolving and the knobs get a bit wobbly (but not more than other older synths) If you love the feedback oscillator and don't want to buy that bulky synth it can be reproduced with Oscillator/s + Feedback + Comb filtering ... this seems to do the "transfromer" magic in the jp8080 feedback osc.

Great Vocoder, I love it.

Lovely distortion. Makes it all dirty.

DISTORTION DISTORTION DISTORTION, DIRTY DIRTY DIRTY... get it you won't regret it. Synths/Drums ... fuck it, it just eats it raw and spits it out shermaningly digested ... I love it.

This was the drum-synth I was not sure if I should buy it and in the end I was using it the most! Awesome synth, big up and respect to the Elektron-Team, for me it's the 808/909 of the future... From Synths to Drums to chromatic sample playing. You name it it has it!

Great Sampler. the possibilities are sheer endless, I got basslines out of snare samples which make your nosewalls flatter. Very creative tool, but in my opinion it took the most time of all elektron instruments to get used to, as it is so diffrent. 4 inputs which I myself use in livesets (Analog Rytm takes 2 ins, + 2 mono synths). When you have a few synths this can really multiply your possibilities in a logarythmic way... chorus,delay,flanger,bitcrusher,distortion ... all those effects can be used with the octatrack... on the inputs or on the internal tracks. The delay is very nice.

Diffrent synthesis types, switchable for all 16 channels + 16 midi channels which can send 3 notes each at a time. I love this machine. One thing I noticed ( as I own the Analog Rytm too) is, that you need some time to tweak the sounds to get them sounding FAT. The opposite to the Analog Rytm where you get instant FAT sounds. But the Machinedrum is a tool I wouldn't want to miss in my productions.

Great sounding synth, a bit pricey but you get a lot of bass in a very small size. I mainly trigger it via my machinedrum which is just fine. It really shines and has a lot more to offer when connected up to a pc. And 1 thing I like to do is to trigger it with my Sub37 and rout it into the Sub37. +2 more oscis for the sub37... YEAH! big sound.

Great Synthesizer, I waited for it forever and with my big-sky reverb it really shines. It's one of the most inspiring instruments I own, I always feel like I didn't even scratch the surface. The funny thing is it just sets you in a creative mood(g) instantly. I love it!

The Kick is awesome, you are limited in sound shaping but you get a lot of bang for the buck. Great for getting into drum synthesis. And a funny little tool for on the run jamming. I like it but it's not my favourite synth of the Korg Volca series (which is the Korg Volca Keys).

For the price it's a great synth. The money to synth ratio is very good :) . The delay could be much better but hey.. there's a delay! From the korg-volca series this is by far my favourite. Very transportable, battery powered if you want. And a huge sound for such a small synth! LFO can be synced to the clock which makes for some nice "in clock wobbles". From screaming leads to bird sounds to big basslines ... you can have it with the KVK.

I don't know what to say as I am still exploring, but this is a keeper, as is the sub37 and elektron gear!

5 rotaries and 2 pad + a fader (and everything times 8-strips) and 4endless encoder + 4 rotary controller + 9 pads + a master fader. It makes a really nice tool and gives some controls. One downside is, that the leds DO NOT! change colour via computer BUT! there are coloured rings you can put between encoder + light. Problem is, those lenses are no longer available. If you find them anywhere, do not hesitate to contact me ! (Because coloured controlls would be great for setting this up live in combination with a laptop + ableton push)

Me and a friend tested all 3 Models (TB-303 original, TB-03, Cyclon TT-303) with 1 pedal distortion. On their own they sound nearly the same, the original had a touch to it that warmthen up things (maybe old electronics drifting) but the TB-03 and the TT-303 sound quite the same. The real diffrence was made when hooked to a distortion!! The TB-303 was shining and pumping and it was spectacular, the other 2 sounded plasticy and hollow. I think the TB-03 and TT-303 as the TB-303 can all shine with the right distortion/delay , but one distortion may not fit everyone. Without FX the diffrence is too little to me to pay X times for such a legend. I'm ok with the boutique remake. Btw, before i got i never touched an original tb-303 so I never had a feel of "the original" which makes the tb-03 as original as it can get.
