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 class="">
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 class="">

I think the word of caution is not against smps in general, but <br class="">
w.r.t. a filthy +5V going to a micro controller, including all <br class="">

Before you know it, you may hear something like a software LED <br class="">

Are you saying the TB-303 does not have The Sound? Blasphemy!<o:p class=""></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br class="">
<br class="">
<br class="">
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 class="">
<br class="">
Actually, I never cared for 303s at all. I wasn't even tempted to get me a VA emulation for some 300 bucks.
<br class="">
So I'm not just blasphemic, I am the opposite of a real believer.<br class="">
Ok, now I can expect the Spanish Inquisition to come after me.<br class="">
(Even though they say "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!")<br class="">
