weird you should say that. i had a TB303 and TR606 in 1984, they were lying around my recording studio me and my mates messed around with them, but we thought they were pretty weak sounding devices, and in a bizarre twist of fate i was in an electrofunk band called Acid at the time, (so called because we were all into psychedelics) but we never used the TB303 or TR606, we used a yamaha RX11 digital drum machine, it sounded better than the 606.Ingemar wrote:
At the moment I'm inclined to go for a tabula rasa kind of explanation; that soul is something that can grow out of anything, given time to do so.
equally no-one else saw the potential of the TB303 at that time, it took a stroke of genius to unleash the soul of that machine a few years later. missed opportunity there haha
