Well that's good because this latest release of yours had made many of my days.
I've been mainly listening to more sterile twisted psy trance recently because I'm not really liking the dance floor melodies I'm hearing these days. But you have reminded me that psy trance really is good music |

@soulfood, thank you very much for your word. You just made another day! I'm honoured by these words!
As for the clones. I have conducted several tests on this and compared side by side original to several clones. One of the tests, Audiorealism Bassline 2 vs TB-303 is on my website.
My conclusion: Softwarewise Audiorealism is the best for high resonance and high accent settings. For all other settings phosycon is similar. Phosycon has trouble making the accents right. It doesn't "bark" like a 303.
Hardware wise I built several clones myself. Also an Oakleysound TB-3030 which sounds good but has some flaws in the filter. sold it recently. Then I built an own clone completely following the original schemata it sounds great but I have trouble with the tuning which is floating all the time. Finally I built a xoxbox which is actually almost indistinguishable from the original imho. only the accents are a bit too loud, but some orignal 303 have this too..
So if you can get a xoxbox, it's highly recommended. otherwise I would go with the AudioRealismBL2 for accented lines and phosycon for high-envelope, low-resonance lines and bass.

Yep I'm building an xoxbox but I'm going to design my own case for it hopefully.
I'll post pictures of the progress once I get all my parts in over the next few months.

How do you get hold of parts for a xoxbox and what kind of expense are we talking about? |

There is a huge wait list so no luck that way but if you go on the forum on that site and look in the xoxbox shop then pm the author of this thread named Gaetano
"All x0xb0x 'Rare' Parts, 6 Options $50-$95 INCLUDING POSTAGE"
He will send you the rare parts. He is very honest I have ordered 5 kits from there this way and one official kit:-) 5 x0x and 1 future x0xio that's close to completion
Then on the same site there is the BOM or bill of materials for the kit where you can order the remaining parts from distributors and all the info on that is provided on the site you just have to get familiar with the people on the forums and they will help you. It is a little more expensive to do it this way but it is basically the only way to get a kit the wait list has supposedly 3,000 people on it a kit costs me about 440$ total with "shipping" thats what kills you. My name is Decay on the forum and you can contact me for any assistance.
But you gotta hurry |
