Can a SYNTAKT sound like a 303? Excellent video by Captain Pikant showing how to program authentic acid basslines on the Elektron Syntakt. I’m going to give this a go tonight! 😀

I had a go tonight and, even though adding slides with Portamento and Legato do make it sound very acidic, it’s very difficult to make it sound like a real TB-303. The main problem is that in order to add accents you have to p-lock them, which means when you adjust the filter it affects the whole pattern except the p-locked trigs. Otherwise, it works really well. But if you want real acid you’re better off adding a cheap TD-3 or something.

This guy has recreated the SID chiptune soundtrack from the 1985 C64 “Commando” game on the Elektron Syntakt. I’m guessing he used the SY Bits machine which is perfect for this kind of stuff, especially since they added Portamento.

I’d been doing acidic basslines using just Legato, I didn’t think you needed to set Portamento too. Could be why my efforts on the Syntakt didn’t sound too authentic 🤔
