What can i say. Click here! to go to the future retro web site where you can listen to mp3 clips of this amazing synth! Amazing. 303? well, sort of, but in my opinion a lot better at some things, i prefer this for bass, it has a meatier tone to it over all as to where the 303 is a tad more nasal sounding and rubber bandy sounding tone. The revolution has a thicker tone, i’ve used both a 303 and a revolution now, for the chicken squak type 303 stuff it can get close but not 100%. But who cares, because honestly i think comparing how the 303 is actually inferior to the revolution is more important, i would rather own the revolution over a 303 and that is really saying something to me. The modern midi and layout is way better on the revolution, so easy to use once you read the manual. I love the roland acid sound, and i think future retro has gone a little beyond the standard old school sound with this synth. For the money you cannot beat it. It’s awesome. I also use the sequencer via cv into my sh2 and modular, wow now that kicks major butt as well. I can use it as a synth or a sequencer to control things via cv gate or midi out. Really cool. I use this on my emiliy autumn remix for the fast arp lines. I had it sequencing my sh2 and my jupiter 8 in that remix. It syncs up well with midi clock, and i can track it right in through a distressor, and wow, its pure magick. I could not live with out this synth, i would rather sell my vintage gear than part with this, and i don’t say that lightly, that is how great i think the sequencer and the synth sounds are in this thing. Also, this thing sits in the mix well i laugh when i hear a VA or software synth try and pull this sound off, nothing beats real analog resonance, nothing does, and this has it, it cuts amazingly and really can help drive the song with tight sequences, i used this extensivly on my remixes with stellar results so far, and it is now the back bone of my studio. I used it to back bone my Mortiis remix, my brain leisure remix, my emily autumn remix, and the nine inch nails remix. Future Retro also has a new semi modular synth comming out called the XS. I will buy this as well, I cannot wait to get my hands on it… I will write up a review for it once i get it. Below is a video of me using the revolution in the nine inch nails remix i did. check it out!:
