    Ive had the Erica synths bassline unit for several weeks now...its amazing, it wouldnt be my first choice as an authentic 303 replica, that accolade belongs to the Dinsync Re303 which is essentially a faithfull rebuild of the original. Anyone voting for anything other than the dinsync clearly hasnt spent time with either an original 303 or the Re303.
    That being said however i think the Erica is the most interesting sequenced bass synth on the market, the sub osc .drive and detune options take it into stratospheric regions that any 303 clone/replica or original simply cannot get too. To say that it sounds huge is a massive understatement.

    How would You compare DinSync RE-303 to the Behringer TD-3?
    I think Behringer is a little bit closer to Roland TB-303. But I didn't own DinSync. I rely only on youtube videos with RE-303.
    Do You own DinSync RE-303?
    Maybe other Roland TB-303 clones?

    the detune knob on the Erica bassline detunes what?The oscillator in relation to the suboscillator?

    No the detune knob controls 2 bbd delay lines modulated internally by two phase shifted lfo's which affect the main oscillator, the sub osc is its own thing altogether. This type of detuning can go from subtle thickening all the way through to massive "swarm" sounds

    Roland Cloud 303 for me - I make tons of acid techno and that's my go to nowadays. D16 Phoscyon is great too for tweakability but lacks the low end oomph the Roland cloud one has. I bought a Behringer TD3 and the lack of midi automation control is too painful for me to use so that's getting sold.

    You do know though that every single original TB303 sounds very slightly different as well right?
