from TB-303 resources mailing list -------[ http://www.tb-303.org ] ---------------------- Kenton is OK, but it's NOT a MIDI kit, it's a CV / gate input kit (they come in 3-socket and 5-socket versions) - you will ALSO need a MIDI to CV/gate convertor.

The (full) Devil Fish modification by Robin Whittle (http://www.firstpr.com.au/rwi/dfish/) also provides for the necessary CV/gate inputs, I believe in a superior way to the Kenton kit. It also has an output for accents, so you can slave one 303 to another (route CV / gate / accent outputs of #1 to CV / gate / accent inputs of #2), without the slave missing the accents.
As Robin Whittle himself wrote: ''(The Devil Fish performs all the functions of that [Kenton] kit, except that the Devil Fish Slide input does not activate the Gate.)''

A more direct way to MIDI-fy a 303 would be the Synhouse MIDIJACK 303 kit, which seems to have gone out of production recently, see http://www.synhouse.com/midijack.html.
Then there's also a similar product by Daniel Schaack called MIDI303, unfortunately this guy didn't respond to any of my emails: http://members.tripod.com/midi303/old.htm.

The 303 is like a seanile grandfather. Some time its right on, and sometimes your like "What are you doing silly old man!".

Get your 303 some meds, and install a kenton kit..

  Sometimes, it seems like the TB-303 plays these little tricks on me....It makes you think you've mastered its capabilities, and you feel like you know what you are doing.   Then, suddenly you here something different than you've ever heard before in your life from this machine or any other.  It's quite intriguing to me, which is why I'm on this list. 
Like Hardfloor's - "TB Resuscitation",  I woud dedicate all of my traxks to the inventor of the TB-303 (if I ever published any tracks)??
