Well the most important thing is that you play it
like the way a 303 would operate.
With accents and slides. I own a 303
but I read up on how a 303 operates, and how the sequencer
changes the sound with accents, the decay length and so on.
And then I used velocity to trigger the acent set the right decay lengths
etc. The AcidSEM stylee demo was done on the A6's
onboard step sequencer. Velocity triggering the accents
which spike the volume up, the resonance, slurs the attack and shortens the
decay
That one used the 12db filter by itself.
The glide shape is important to.

The Q bass I used both the 24db and 12db filters mxied togetehr to give a
sorta 18db filter
responce :)

My memory is a bit hazy on the details though, I'll see if I can find the
basic patch
I did back then, I lost a whole of patches not so long ago though.
