Limiting the Devil Fish to TB-303 sounds
The Devil Fish’s “sound-space” is immense. A mild-mannered subset of this space is that of
a standard TB-303. Some users wish to restrict themselves to that space for sacred
occasions. Here are the limitations to observe. The original pot settings are specified in
terms of a clock face. For instance the third line from the far left position is 9 o’clock
Filter Cut Off Between about 10.30 and 3 o’clock.
Resonance No limits.
Env Mod Between 12 and 4 o’clock. (The lower limit of envelope
modulation was not zero in the TB-303, but it is in the Devil Fish.
The upper limit in the Devil Fish is about 3 times what it was in the
TB-303.)
Decay Fix at 12 o’clock. This pot now controls the Volume Envelope
Generator, which had a fixed decay time in the TB-303.
Accent No limits.
Overdrive Fix at 2.
Normal Decay No lower than 2. This pot performs the function which the Decay
pot on the TB-303 did.
Accent Decay Fix at about 2.7.
Filter Tracking Fix at 0.
Soft Attack Fix at 2.
Muffler Fix at 0.

internal sequencer

Bass EQ The TB-303 has a weaker bass response than the Devil Fish. To
replicate this, roll off the 30 to 60 Hz band by a few dB.
