It's an interesting initiative indeed.


         "An original TB-303 was diassembled and reverse-engineered to 
verify the schematic. The original transistors were analysed using big 
expensive curve-tracers to determine their characteristics. We measured 
every waveform and counted every cycle to give you the best sound...its 
just like the original because it IS the original."
         ...
         "We tweaked our design until they sounded exactly the same"


What do you think of this method of copying only _one_ TB?
Since two TBs often can sound quite different from each other, I wonder 
where they end up with this one. Let's hope they started off with a good 
one... :-)
