FutureRetro 777 Synthesizer will make a comeback in 2023 - December 10, 2022

According to the website, the first new re-release under the new management will be the 777 Synthesizer. No information if it will be a 1-to-1 re-release or a further development with major or minor improvements.

The 777 is a monophonic analog Synthesizer that takes is heavily inspired by the Roland TB-303 baseline Synthesizer. It’s, however, not a clone or replica of the legendary Roland synth. It’s more of a further development with more functionality with the ability to create analog percussion, lead synth parts, and wild sound effects. Yes, a 303 on steroids.

Its core consists of two VCOs (saw/square) with FM capabilities, a white noise generator, and a sub-oscillator. Twice as much oscillator power as the 303 Then, the signal flows through a resonant lowpass filter with a switchable 3 or 7-pole slope. Besides this, it hosts a highpass filter.

You can also add juice to the sounds using the overdrive circuit in the amplifier section. There is also modulation onboard in the form of an envelope and 3 multi-wave LFOs. The whole thing is driven by a sequencer with everything you would expect from a 303-inspired sequencer (accent, glide…), plus more options to create patterns and songs. You can have up to 256 patterns and up to 16 songs.

Anyone looking for a 777 should be patient. Please do not pay absurd second-hand prices. It will return soon. This is very good news. According to FutureRetro a re-release of the 777 Synthesizer is scheduled for 2023.
