Finished my TR909 clone at last. Samples and pictures are via the link above.

What's it got to do with the TB-303? Well, erm... erm.. well, there is a picture of it syncing my '303 with the internal MIDI/DIN sync converter :o)

'lo

Thanks all for the kind words  

Yes unfortunately it's a 'DIY' project only that you can do using the set of printed circuit boards I've designed for it, providing you've got a fair amount of electronic building experience at least. I'm not quite sure how much it would cost when you add up the entire component list.

I keep thinking about building them up to sell but I'm not sure if I'd ever find the time to do it. Some guy in the US who runs a modular synth company has expressed interest in producing a small run of 9090's. But I dunno really.

A few people have bought the PCBs and started building the 9090 - in fact you can see my original one and Mark Smith's together here :

http://www.modulus.synth.net/synthdiy/synthdiy_2002.htm

 

I guess I'd be tempted to build a few to sell, but with the cost of the components, those expensive Schaeffer panels and time, the cost would probably approach that of a real TR-909 (in the mid 90's  .

I'm considering selling the prototype actually (S/N001!). Need a new car...

Very nice clone Trev.

I've been following your website for the last year? and I'm really thinking of building one myself. The only problem is that I'm an electronics newby. ;)

A desktop case would be nicer too. But that's not really important...
It's the sound that matters and nothing is wrong with that.
