This may be a little out of date,but regarding the recent debate about
the source of the "acid" noises on the recent Link release "Antacid".
I E-mailed Link's contact at their e-mail address( this doesn't "link" up
to the guys themselves by the way trainspotters!) and put to them the
question "TB-303 or not TB-303?".Apparently they don't actually own a 303
so it does seem highly likely that they used a sample.They do own an Akai
S3000 sampler though which can add it's own "acidic" feel with it's built
in resonant filters ("acid" basically = lots of resonance).
At the end of the day though, who gives a shit what makes the noises.If it
sounds good (and "Antacid" is a storming track) it doesn't matter if you're
using a 303 or a Casio home keyboard.Let's have less of this "techno
elitism",sound is sound.Long live the electronic music revolution
