I personally don't have a lot of use for that acid sound, but some folks do apparently, because of the going rate for an authentic TB-303 and the number of clones that have popped up. This is why I don't really blame Roland at all for releasing a TB-303 remake, I just think in today's market it's not worth what they are asking for it. Maybe if the price came down more I'd be interested in it just as an inspirational tech toy kind of gadget, which is really what the original TB-303 was meant to be (a toy). It's just that for those of us who work in a DAW (most of us?) the pattern/groove/bassline options are just way past this, and my own needs don't really dictate a standalone box, and if they did I'll be honest I think FLStudio Mobile on my iPad probably does a lot more than this thing.
