ROLAND TB-303

ACID BASSLINE SYNTHESIZER 

WITH QUICKSILVER CPU!

*This is the 3rd time listing due to a non-payer. Payment needs to be made within 48 hours as there's too many trigger happy buyers hitting "Buy it now" and not following through with payment. Apologies to those who have been watching before, here's another opportunity to grab this legendary piece of gear.

The sticking point in this new age with the 303’s was attempting to slave or incorporate into your modern set up without the DIN function....in step the reputable QUICKSILVER CPU!!!

USB connection to slave with your chosen DAW giving you the full sync and editing ability from your PC or MAC whilst retaining full hands on control.

As usual has some minor mark on the casing as seen on the pictures but the face is clean with no pot fading, and printed letters clearly visible and legible.

Comes with a non original power adapter and Roland carry case.

Will ship worldwide with full insurance with paypal payment only please!

Collection is also welcome provided funds have cleared.

Now the good stuff :)

QUICKSILVER CPU

The Quicksilver 303 is a replacement CPU for the TB-303 Bass Synthesizer. With a completely rewritten operating system, all of the creative obstacles to programming amazing sequences have been removed. The experience still remains uniquely “303”. 

The Quicksilver 303 CPU can be used with or without MIDI. So, you can still benefit from the new features of the CPU without drilling any holes in your TB-303!

Of course, there are also great new MIDI capabilities. MIDI control over filter cutoff, “MIDI Control mode” which allows the 303 to be “remotely controlled” from any device that can send MIDI note messages. The sequencer can send and receive MIDI notes and MIDI clock and you can also record incoming MIDI to patterns in realtime.

All functions of the Quicksilver 303 are available while the sequencer is running, this includes programming patterns, changing modes and new live performance functions like “ALL ACCENT” “CHOP” and “BUMP”.

Entering new patterns is now interactive, with the capability to hear changes as the pattern plays, and the ability to move forwards and backwards to edit specific notes.

The Quicksilver 303 is equipped with USB connectivity for OS upgrades and USB MIDI. Allowing the Quicksilver 303 to be directly connected to a USB host!

Because all data is stored into internal EEPROM, batteries are no longer required to maintain memory. All internal memory can also be dumped using MIDI sysex messages for sharing or backup.
