Interesting! I'm gonna get my f100 midi setup back in action soon so I'll hopefully be able to help some peeps.

sorry for the bump but i guess its better than a new thread?

anyway now that its been out a while im really interested to see/hear the fancy things that people here have done with this?

im loving triggering it from the game boy so a few tracks should be appearing here and there soon.

I think there are a couple of tracks that avoid replicating the 303 sound for various reasons (creative choice, limitations of hardware etc) but it was really up to the artists to define what 'acid' meant to them (to give one example - A Guy Called Gerald himself finds it "really interesting how the TB303 has come to be fetishised as an acid machine" since for him "acid was all about the tweaking of synths and riding a groove").

The "famicom track" (by Kplecraft) is by one of the few chipmusic acts who have ever come close to appropriating the sound of goa-style trance (as far as I'm aware), which is an area of acid house/303-related music which deserved to be covered. They work with the 2A03, which isn't the easiest soundchip to manipulate (considering there is essentially no way of recreating a high-resonance acid squelch with pulse/triangle waves) and even then came up with some wobbly modulation noises which build tension like the best TB-303 lines.

Besides all that, it is a fucking excellent track that I would play at a bonkers rave without a second thought.
