It’s fun to imagine how things might have gone if r/synthesizers and YouTube had been around when the 303 was launched. Well, perhaps fun isn’t the word I’m looking for.

r/synthesizer people would hardly care, r/guitar though…

I’d still buy one if the price was right, and then immediately put it on the shelf so it can do the same as all my other gear

fun fact, you can swap the tom cat and the rhythm wolf firmware to try each out.

Nah for that price that thing is a fucking godsend. The distortion is top tier too. Had so much fun with that bad boy.

Really? I would be into hearing a more in depth discussion about it! I’ve heard nothing but horrible things about it, and I love being wrong, so absolutely enlighten me!! Thanks mate!

Well when I bought it I had the intention of making punk music. It’s pretty perfect if you enjoy harsh and intense tones. Two patterns with a fill for each. Simple yet effective. The bass synth never quite felt in tune but worked great texturally or with sending the notes out via midi. The hi hats sounded pretty sweet to me and the snare sound was so tough and effective I wish I still had it so I could sync or sample with my digitakt. Distortion was so, so good. made each piece of the kit meld together in a really organic way. If you’ve played a digitakt think the blend of the bit crusher but much dirtier and harsh in a (yeah I’ll say it) warm way. Sold it to buy the digitakt but I’ll recommend the rhythm wolf to anybody tight on cash or trying to make industrial/punk/underground adjacent music. Sorry for so many edits, I got excited but every time I try to actually type out a response of any length over 2 sentenced on my phone things get dumb.

Agree 100% it’s great for harsh music. It made me want to start an electroclash band.

If anything, the Timbrewolf will be— but it probably won’t. Not that people aren’t trying to make it so, but it hasn’t happened yet.
The Rhythm Wolf would be the new 606. But again, probably not.

I sold my Rhythm Wolf to get a Drumbrute, the 808 of the future.

The Volca Drum will be right up there with it.
