Roland TB-303 / Evolution of musicians documentary

[alphacat]

Never really thought about the irony he points out of the 303 being a hardware analog emulator of an electric bass, which then in turn inspired a software emulator of that hardware analog emulator, and which itself went on to spawn a hardware controller for the software emulator of the hardware analog emulator...

Call & response indeed.

This is what Marshall Jefferson himself has to say about that....:

"I paid $150, sold it to Bam for $1000 I think in 1988 or 89 after I did I've Lost Control and No Way Back by Adonis with it, dunno why he didn't put that in the add. That's my goofy handwriting on it, I thought the $1000 reward would work back then.

I think I also used it on the Tom Tom club and Pet Shop Boys remixes.

What forum is that? Gearslutz? Seen him on there before.
Also yeah the reward bit. Nothing a little acetone can't remove. He should have scratched a message into it like Aphex did.

I saw an unused TB-303 in the original box and plastic wrap sell for I think $200 on ebay before. Some lucky guy got it, and before the seller even knew what he had, the deal was made and he posted something like "I guess I'll just live with my mistake." I have a screenshot somewhere but it was like 2007 or so. The links made the rounds on all the usual production nerd forums though.

I was wrong. 2005, and $150.

That was on DeepHousePage. I've seen Francois K and David Mancuso stop by there too among others.
