I've been trying to find a good TB-303 clone for eurorack for...about as long as I've been in eurorack.
There are a variety of modules that claim 303 character, but few that actually have it. In this case I'm having a listen to the Erica Synths Bassline modules, of which there are two: one DIY with thru-hole components (big knobs, says Drive in the upper right corner), and one factory version with surface mount (smaller knobs, says Detune in the upper right). I was curious to hear how they sounded against each other.
And then also curious to see how they sounded against the x0x Heart module, which near as I can tell is the closest 303 clone in eurorack (though I've not heard them all, so take that with a grain of salt).
There's a bit of reverb just to make space. Gets a bit grating otherwise.
00:00 Intro
00:20 V1 vs. V2
13:35 x0x Heart
