WHAT USERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE 777
"A strange and wonderful device. Absolutely possesses that indescribable
quality of inspirational weirdness that only classics like the TB-303 or
MS-20 have...
The 777 is the best (and only?) hardware solution for
303-style sequencer programming. Since the sequencer sends CV/Gate and
MIDI, I can slave any other synth to it and record the sequences into the
computer, which is not possible with any other 303-style device. Far more
flexible than any other solution; simply fantastic...
I've been getting insanely slippery drum-like loops out
of the thing, as well as using the audio input to give an interesting
wobble to other synths. Truly inspirational gear. A must-have for anybody
who's serious...Destroys all other 303 wanna-be's. End of story"
-Charlie Clouser (Nine Inch Nails)
"I used to laugh at all the 303-like sound modules coming out, one of the
most important things in trying to emulate one is the way it's sequenced. 16
step, one bar sequencing with the "slide" control is the only way to go! The
sound of the 777 can cop the 303 easily, but I like going way beyond. This
box is the S#!^...Round, sturdy knobs; deep and hard filters; fat-ass sound... and MIDI; the
777 rocks!"
-Ken Jordan (The Crystal Method)
"HIGHEST DROOLFACTOR !
My favorite piece of gear came in the mail yesterday...
The ultimate bang for the buck is the FUTURERETRO 777.
It is finally the re-incarnation of the TB-303, just much better...
and not made in Germany for once...
words can't describe it."
-Sasha K. (KMFDM)
"First impressions: Wicked! It's really a crazy beast, and the variety of
possibilities is incredible. Very cool to play with. Way more fun than
most other synths. Wild stuff."
-Dennis Barton (Skylab2000)
"I have a tb303 and its been collecting dust since I got the 777
futureretro.! I keep coming up with completely unique and new sounds
and have had it over six months!
Running gtr through it has to be heard to be believed(.You can hear
that on the remix of Megadeths top ten rock hit "Krush 'em".)
I can't recommend this piece more, destined to be a classic...."

guster,megadeth etc)
"So what does it sound like?...Uncompromising, the 777
is one of the most aggressive sounding machines I've encountered.
From the moment you hit the sequencers run switch you're met with
a barrage of bubbling, gut-wrenching bass that flaps and farts it's way
out your speakers. It really is frightening in it's intensity..."
-Nigel Lord (Future Music Magazine)
"I am FULLY impressed with the quality of the unit..Metal and Wood, the way all synths
should be made.
And, now for the sound...
Back to back with Rebirth (i know that Rebirth is not a real 303, but its all i have
on hand for reference) I send sync out of the 777 and play the same pattern, and it
sounds identical cept the 777 has a little more groove to it.. It just sounds
funkier. I think it lies in the analog oscillators ability to never to behave in
exactly the same manner so it sounds like it has more groove to it, plus, the built
in distortion kills rebirths foul distortion attempt.
The 777 has a HUGE variety of sounds it is capable of that go far beyond rebirth, a
real tb303, and many other synths I have owned. ...all displayed within this box..And,
all without help from an external sequencer!
The sequencer is about as easy as it gets. Of course, it's a little different than
the original 303, but in some ways it's better and note, patterns, etc can be changed
in real-time..
This is really the do-all box.. BUT it is still the MOST capable tb303 replica..It
is indistiguishable and exact. I cannot stress this enough. I would hand over a
tb303 for a 777. There would be no question about it."
-Rob Brzykcy (CyborgZero Productions)
"First, take the synth section of the Sequential Pro-One, & a TB-303, blend
them up into a fine liquid. Pour out into a mold & bake at 450 degrees for
10-15 minutes. What do you have, the Future Retro 777. Make no mistake about
it, the 777 is the synth to end all currently made mono synths. It can float
like a 303 butterfly or sting like a Pro-One bee. It has the most user
friendly sequencer on the planet. Constructed like a Hummer, & looks nice
next to your mom's picture. And, it's all analogue!! So no stair stepping
filters. Get yourself on the waiting list NOW. BTW, i am keeping my 303=0)
This thing does cross modulation like you wouldn't believe. Downrite SCARY!"
-Larry Kleinke (Computer Controlled/DJ Frantik)
My first impressions of it are that it is
beautiful, construction is very solid, and last but not least the
possibilities for sound are immense. Just that fact alone that the
777 has 32 knobs and 7 switches must give you some sort of idea that a lot
more sound design is possible than your typical 303. Anything from the
typical to the weirdest is possible. Very cool machine, sounds excellent and
highly recommended.
-Brana Gavrilovic (New Science Music)
"A true monster in a box! The 777 isn't just another clone, its a whole new
step in acid music. You can identically recreate the famous acid bassline
from the infamous TB 303, and take it to a whole new level with pure ease.
Why own a synth that has limitations when you can own one with infinate
possibilities? With the 777 you can do things that have never been done, and
thats what people want to hear."
-Pete Zavala (ReZo-99) HIGH SOCIETY
