Hello everyone! The Donner B1 review is ready. We selected a few nice 303 patterns to test drive it and The Intern even made a transcription of "Raga Bhairav" which is included in the video.

While programming the patterns we noticed something odd that we haven't seen mentioned elsewhere yet... If you've watched our How to 303 on a Syntakt video or you have studied our 303 Acid Sound Recipe you may already have a clue to what this is about ;)

The review doubles as a tutorial and we also used our little demo pattern from the 303 Sequencer from Hell video so you can directly compare the sequencing to the 303/TD-3.

While we demonstrate basically everything the B1 has to offer, be sure to also take a look at our B1 Cheat Sheet for a handy overview.

► Support us: https://www.patreon.com/captainpikant/ This is our very honest review on the Donner B1 monophonic bass synthesizer. In this video we give you a tour of what it can do, but we also show its shortcomings and why it isn't a true 303 clone. But maybe that's not a bad thing?
