It's a 303. But cheap. What else is there to say? lol. Yes it's noisy. Yes it's crunchy. Yes it's very basic. But that's what you want with a 303 isn't it? The built-in distortion is a nice touch too. The way you program it is not really like a real 303, but after getting used to it, I like it. It's a decent flow with some nice added touches.

Love the way it sounds - so simple, small and great quality! Permanently on my desk!

Significantly easier to program than an original 303. Sonically....is it an EXACT match? I don't know, and I don't really care. It's got the right vibe and feel, capable of deep, earth-shaking bass and squelchy fat leads, with sick analog oscillators, filters, and controls. I had a Roland TB-3 prior to this, and there were things about the TB-3 interface that were cool, but it was complicated to program actual basslines and melodies, and the touchscreen interface was better at real-time modulation than composition/performance, for me. I like the Donner interface much better. One downside is there is a faint but audible hiss, instead of dead silence, when this machine is not making music. In a live context it would probably be unnoticeable, but in a studio recording, you would want to gate it or noise-remove it after recording.

So I needed this little bass synth like I needed a another hole in my head, but when a promotional discount popped up, I couldn’t resist. This device is very simple, has a fun feature set (mine came loaded with the latest firmware, version 1.1.0 as of this writing) and most importantly, sounds awesome! Compared to similar sounding devices, which can be a bit intimidating to work with, Donner is to be commended for the clean design and easy operation of this instrument. If you want to sequence some classic acid bass sounds and want the easiest path to get there, at a bargain price, this is the one. :)

I was on the fence but we needed a small bass synth in our set up and it was on sale and I liked the reviews. I use this this with a keystep pro as the controller ans sequencer. I’m going for sound and sound shaping options but not so much interested in the sequencer. It sounds amazing and what I was looking for. I wish I would have bought it sooner. Easy to shape sound and intuitive.

Hardware is OK. Good sound but remember it's only one oscillator. The control software is horrible and doesn't work at all on some Windows 10 and 11 PCs

A small, portable synth with one VCO, two waveforms, a filter, delay, distortion, a key that is easy to play, sequencing, a number of useful built in rhythms. Remarkably easy to get going right out of the box and start having fun with. More connectivity than any of my other synths, which was completely unexpected. The bang for buck, value for money is off the charts. You can’t find a better synth value, right up there with the NTS-1 for inexpensive fun.
