THE NEXT SPACEBASS 3.3 and SUPERBASS 4.4

"The next! Analog Bass Synthesizers are the best and most affordable original TB-303* clones available!"

At least that's what they said about those new clones, well ...

The analog circuitry is based almost entirely on single transistors. The sounds generated by analog bass synths come from two types of waveforms, Saw and Square, which can be mixed. The SpaceBass 3.3 features a 24 dB low pass filter, through which the sound passes to create various effects, can be modulated with Cutoff, Resonance, and Envelope Modulation. The decay time and accent are variable from 120 velocity. There is a separate VCF input for external audio signal, such as a turntable or any other instrument to pass through the filter. The SuperBass 4.4 includes all the features of the SB 3.3 plus Accent, Autoslide, Distortion, and MIDI In, Out, and Thru connections which allow for MIDI control on Cutoff, Resonance, Envelope Modulation, Decay, Accent, and Distortion.

Ok, Ok, it seems like it's another clone and the design is strongly influenced by MAM kind of stuff. The unit is rather cheap : $299 for the SPACEBASS 3.3.

What about the sound ? Mmmmh, not that impressive, just like any other single-OSC 24db stuff available today.

303 emulation rating : 4/10 - Not bad for it's price, but a bit too far from the 303 sound !
