Oh, now I understand. The TB-303 never had an oscillator. It just used
LED bleed as a sound source. And since the processor wasn't fast enough
for higher refresh rates, it was marketed as a bass machine. Now it all
fits together...

Actually, I never cared for 303s at all. I wasn't even tempted to get me
a VA emulation for some 300 bucks. 
So I'm not just blasphemic, I am the opposite of a real believer.
Ok, now I can expect the Spanish Inquisition to come after me.
(Even though they say "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!")
