Erica Synths Bassline DB-01 Cheat Sheet 1.2 (Firmware 1.08)

Added 2022-01-04 07:00:02 +0000 UTC

Update 2022/01/29: Cheat Sheet updated for firmware version 1.08. New feature "Shift all pattern steps left or right". They fixed the swing bug! Hopefully they will soon address the LFO reset bug in keyboard mode. I added a few helpful pointers for the firmware update procedure.

Well, apparently writing another Cheat Sheet was my idea of relaxing during our month off... Initially I made this for myself to learn all the features, but I thought maybe some of you are interested - even though it's not a drum machine.

This mono synth is often compared to the TB-303, but in my opinion they hardly share any similarities - neither in terms of sound nor in terms of usability. One has a very good sequencer, and the other one is the TB-303 🥁😄 Come to think of it, the DB-01 and Behringer's TD-3 would be ideal to demonstrate these two sequencing philosophies in a video...

By the way: I found two bugs in the current firmware which I already reported to Erica Synths. They were very responsive and promised to fix them in upcoming firmware releases.

We hope this will be useful to you. If anything should be unclear, if you find an error or you feel like something is missing just drop us a line - either here in the comments or via PM. Click here to see a list of all Captain Pikant Cheat Sheets.
