Why This Exists

TB-303, TR-606, TR-808, TR-909 changed music forever. Acid house, techno, electro, hip-hop, all built on patterns created on these boxes.

But they're nearly 40 years old. Batteries die. Memory fails. Patterns vanish.

I learned this the hard way. My RE-303 CPU died and took a bunch of good patterns with it. If it happened to me, it's happening to everyone still using these machines.

What This Is

A place to back up your patterns privately, and share them publicly for others to explore.

The visual notation system behind this has been documented academically - a Cambridge paper on acid patterns  if you're curious.
