 LOL that's the most boomer thing I've read in a long time...

No you're right.  The TB-303 was utter crap and few bands actually used it when it was released, and rightfully discontinued a couple of years later.  
Quite how and why it then gain popularity is one of the great mysteries of our time, and shows how fast music went downhill as the last century progressed.

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!")
