Speaking of which, I have a TB303. If anyone is interested, when I get some
free time I can punch in some test sequences and use an oscilloscope to
capture the resulting DIN Clock, CV, Gate, Slide and Accent waveforms.

That should make it very simple for anyone to recreate the timing of the
original TB303. If I recall correctly, the Accent and Slide signals have odd
timing characteristics.
