Wow. Social Entropy Electronic Musical Instruments are selling a replacement TB-303 operating system chip called Quicksilver.
As well as supporting MIDI - including remote control of all the machines functionality - everything can also be manipulated in realtime. That includes entering patterns, editing notes, changing modes, and brand new features like “all accent”, “randomise” and “chop”.
I’ll just let that sync in for a moment whilst your mind races with the possibilities for live performance.
All data is stored in an EEPROM so batteries aren’t required, and the OS can also be updated over USB as they intend to add new features in the future.
This looks to be an essential upgrade for all committed acid heads. If you know anyone selling cheap 303s with dead OS chips then now is the time to snap them up before the prices skyrocket!
