Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about the Donner B1 Analog Synthesizer and Sequencer. Can the Donner B-1, inspired by the legendary Roland TB-303, keep up with the competition of affordable acid synth clones like the Behringer TD-3, Roland TB-03, Cyclone Analogic TT303, DINSync RE-303 or Mode Machines x0xb0x? Is it yet another affordable mono synth? Who's the mysterious company behind it?

Honestly, that oscillator sounds pretty solid, and the interface / sequencer has a lot going for it. I feel like if they'd made it into a more general subtractive bass machine they'd have something much more interesting, rather than being the johnny-come-lately to the 303 party. Add PWM for some thicker sounds, go for a more versatile filter voicing, I'd be into that.

In 2009, I sent my Digitech DL-8 pedal to China, to a friend working at the newly-formed NUX company, with the hopes they could do something similar, but with deeper features. Specifically, I wanted to add various FX before the looper, so I could add layers of different types of sounds to a loop, and I wanted them to add MIDI. I had dreams of including this hybrid loop pedal to my product catalog. A few short weeks later, I get a prototype in the mail, loved it, and immediately ordered ten of them. A short while later, NUX released the first version of their Time Core loop pedal, without my requested MIDI interface. A short while after this, other companies began making pedals. I've attempted to do business with several of these, and to my knowledge Donner/Tomsline/Rowin/Andoer/Eno/Mooer at least share the same factory. JOYO/Harley Benton/Ammoon also share a different factory. It's nice to see these guys are entering the synth market, but of course I don't work at one of the huge manufacturers, lol.

I love that your reviews really have all potential users in mind. Sure, this gear isn't the best, but I really like that you call out that it does have some upsides especially when considering the price. It seems like a cute little noisemaker with an easy to use sequencer. Glad that you are able to provide fair and balanced views on "Bad Gear".

@@fatkev1983 I agree that the TB-3 is amazingly easy to use live. Especially with the newer firmware. It's very handy to have waveform and effect stored with each pattern. Env Mod and Decay are actually available over the x/y pad. But you have to press "Env Mod" button for this mode. Yes, it's hidden and unintuitive, but it makes for some full hand movements, which are more visible to the audience than twisting knobs. Also, the tuning is supposed to be available while holding down the "Env Mod" button. I don't like to mess with the tuning. So, I did no t try it myself,though. Apparently, the "Env Mod" button is where the magic happens. 😃

Hi, despite the Donner B1 going straight into "Bad Gear" I actually bought one! Straight out of the box and without even bothering to read the instructions manual I was writing patterns within minutes. I had a Roland TB-03 and a Behringer TD-3-MO-AM but sold them both as I found the pattern writing on both of these simply too complicated and frustrating. The pattern writing on the B1 is so much easier. Yes the B1 sounds different from the Roland TB-03 and Behringer TD-3 but actually pretty good. I will probably use it just as a sequencer to drive my other synths and if I want full on acid, then my MAM MB33 will be at the other end of the MIDI cable. Treat the B1 as a really simple (and cheap) sequencer with some added good sounds.

i'm a bit newer to the analog game, got myself a b-1 as my fifth analog synth so far and I've been pretty happy with it so far. I maybe don't have much to compare it against, but I can say it's been fun to jam with and easy to learn.

Nice video! Considering that the Behringer TD-3 is a mostly faithful clone of the Roland original and it costs less than $130 US, if you want Acid on a budget, that would be the way to go. This Donner B-1 looks nice and sounds pretty good, but it doesn't bring anything compelling to the table in the 303 world.
