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. <br>
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.<br>

I think the word of caution is not against smps in general, but <br>
w.r.t. a filthy +5V going to a micro controller, including all <br>
current/voltage spikes coming from digital operation.<br>
Before you know it, you may hear something like a software LED <br>
refresh rate on the supply line.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Are you saying the TB-303 does not have The Sound? Blasphemy!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
<br>
<br>
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...<br>
<br>
Actually, I never cared for 303s at all. I wasn't even tempted to get me a VA emulation for some 300 bucks.
<br>
So I'm not just blasphemic, I am the opposite of a real believer.<br>
Ok, now I can expect the Spanish Inquisition to come after me.<br>
(Even though they say "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!")<br>
