DB-01 does acid (no talking)

- I love reading comments and on a recent video "Alfie John" commented on the lack of 303-style Acid demos for the DB-01. That sounded like a challenge to me so here's my attempt. The title of this video "DB-01 does acid" is very definite but whether the sound is really acid I leave up tp you. There's also the question of whether the DB-01, with its Polvoks filter, can achieve an "authentic" acid sound in place of the 24db LPF on the 303. And of course someone who actually composes acid music would surely get closer than I have here.
Assuming that you've got past all these excuses and actually like the sound, here are a few relevant points on recreating it:
Both envelopes are on zero. This is especially important for the Amp envelope.
The LFO is on S&H tempo sync on and set to 1 (for slight variation on every hit)
The pattern itself has various gate times from 20 to 100
The Env amount must be low otherwise it'll overwhelm the bandpass filter
The Arp control that I manually change is the gate length
Other settings should be reasonably clear from the video.
Another recent comment (on the One pattern, 20 sounds video) said that all the DB-01 sounds were terrible because they were distorted. In that case I can expect an even more disappointed comment here :D
And another recent comment said they preferred the sounds without effects - but here I've added delay to almost the whole thing :/ My excuse for that is I just bought the DM-2W delay and I love it! It takes line level beautifully.
Finally, there is absolutely no further processing than what you see here, not even a master limiter.

DAAAAM! Thank you for that. My wallet is looking at me nervously. There's something with the Polvoks filter that I'm starting to fall in love with. It's raw, it's analog, and it's definitely acid with it's own flavor. Thanks again!
Thanks for your suggestion to try acid. The Polivoks really defines the DB-01 sound, very gritty and aggressive but without the self-oscillating scream or bass loss.
This is wild, love it.
Your sound is crazy ! Félicitations !
This is a very good demostration of the Bassline, i want one
Thanks Pablo. I think one of the best things about the DB-01 is that it's just fun to play.
A hot Heavy Banger !💥🎶🎛👍🏽✨🔥
I heard people say that the dB o1 doesn't do acid, well this video proves those idiots wrong
These are some crazy sounds!!!
Now we just need an acid demo with drums added 😁
I always wrestle with that: Do I keep demos "pure" or layer them up with other stuff that'll sound better overall as a track but not show off the main device as well?
That’s friggin awesome man.. wish mine sounded something similar..
Really love the sound of this machine. I’ve made more videos with it than any of my other synths. It inspires!
Agreed! The specs make it seem a very simple bass machine and yet the more you use it the more it delivers.
Solid jam mate 👌with some lovely toys 👏👏👏👏respect from Glasgow

Another excellent demo - and thank you for explaining it! I see you are using some different pedals, they seem to add some excellent effects to the chain. Is the delay pedal adding any reverb? It sounds great!
Thanks! The delay is just pure bucket brigade but it does add an interesting sort of a 'halo' around the sound. As much as I like the RE-202 space echo, the little DM-2W feels like an excellent alternative.
Doch ja; ich meine die DB01 ist eine sehr ordentliche Stakkatosäureschleuder ! Tönt sehr gut.
Ja, wenn man beide Hüllkurven herunterdreht und mit der Gate-Länge des Arpeggiators spielt, kann man viel Spaß haben.
I would love to see a DB-01 does Funk video from you?
That'd be a stretch for me but you might at least get a laugh. Do you have an example link?
@@RichardDeHove how about ua-cam.com/video/h-5KjFJxnw4/v-deo.html
or really any song on that album
It makes acid but not 303acid
True. Every machine has its unique flavor.
Richard … probably an impossible question to answer…. But if you had to choose just one. Is it the DB or the Mono ? Thanks
No doubt at all that the Norand Mono can get a hugely bigger range of sounds. And with careful programming can sound more like two or three voices than just one. So if you were trying to make complete tracks with just one machine then the Mono would be the choice.
But in terms of "which machine would be the last to go", then I'd definitely hang onto the DB-01 until the end. The Mono is more versatile but the DB-01 is much more fun to operate, play, tweak and program.
I remember when I bought my DB-01 I was trying to decide between it and the Behringer Pro-One :)
@@RichardDeHove thanks for the heads up , that makes sense totally . BTW , Your tutorials on the LXR-02 were a massive , huge help in getting me across that box 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 thank you
