I originally thought the Erica Synths DB-01 Bassline would fall in line with other similar tb-303 clones. But i was way wrong. It reminds me more of an Roland SH-101!! With 303 tendencies. It doesn't just stop there either with features. Some of my favorites are the Analog BBD Delay turned into a detune knob, As well as the Polivoks Analog Filter. So much more to it than that. for more info check out these links

Made a FREE sample pack of the DB-01 sounds so you can maybe get a better take on it - bit.ly/smplpcks
ON IT CHIEF
Nice one thank you :)
Why do they need my credit card details to get a free sample pack?
GLDN1 Weird, it asked for your credit card information? I downloaded it myself on a random account and it just asked for my email and address. If it does charge you for anything I’ll refund you whatever it may be. But it is completely free I promise. Shouldn’t ask you for your CC Info though
@@RickyTinez I got the same remark for the Skillshare website: they too ask CC info for something "free". BTW your videos are top, thanks!
Ricky taking his headphones off to talk to camera is the positive energy im trying to channel in 2020
Grumbledore Music Wow
Me too, bit I’m tryna do it more with my pants when someone interesting walks through the door.
I didn't understand half of this but your way of talking, sympathetic appearance and engagement or enthusiasm makes this a joy to watch. Take care, stay safe.
what a ray of sunshine :) thanks for the kind words Jonas!
Thank you thank you thank you for showcasing some of the BASS sounds on the Bassline. I've looked at half a dozen videos, even those by Erica Synths, and nobody can resist the modulation/ resonance crazy sauce. You are the one who has sold me on this box because now I know for sure the bass is for real. :)
Literally nothing gives me GAS like Ricky Tinez' demos.
It's a good time to be a synth nerd; we're all trapped in our caves with our equipment. Your videos are always enjoyable, and you have an engaging way of talking about what is clearly your passion. Stay safe!
A lot of people aren't aware that about half of all the synth parts in classic acid tracks are actually Sh-101 lines, not 303 lines. The 101 is almost as important to the history of acid as the 303. So it makes sense that this has a bit of a 101 vibe to it.
101 202 rock bottom end . 303 rock hi res game have all real sequencer fun
People also forget about ms 20s witch where heavy used
What are some good tracks with sh101?
Here's one - Robert Hood - 'SH-101'
I'd like to know some more too..

I am new to electronic music gear. Your videos are so honest and so helpful. Your comment section is also a great resource itself. I’m glad you exist.
The "ARP Thing" you´ve struggled with, works! Start Sequencer, then the Arp Mode (Shift&ARP), put the Notes in, while holding the buttons press Select/Gate. Release the Step Buttons, hit Record.
The sound speaks for itself. Had no idea and was going to blow this off, but man it sounds real nice.
I think this plus my drumbrute impact are gonna be a killer combo
Drumbrute impact is fuuuuun
Hi Ricky. I always enjoy your videos. As a live performer, I find the vision of a live performer and details that can be so important when performing live. Thanks a lot.
the bassline from Where's Your Head At is is a track called ME by Gary Numan. Not sure if it was sampled directly or just referenced because I haven't listened side by side. But cheggit out.
Oh that’s dope! Thanks for that info Robert
@@RickyTinez no, thanks for all the vids :) 🙏
I came here to post this....I think they sampled it straight up. Here's the original: ruclips.net/video/JeucohIa5LQ/видео.html #synthhistory
I bought one of these last year following Ricky's review. It's totally sick, and Erica are a great company. I suggested a firmware update to increase the LFO cycle from 1 bar to 4, and they did it a month later. Ricky is right, this is SH-101 territory, and it's massive. What makes it special from my other mono synths is that the Envelope is soooo fast, and there is no click whatsoever. This is a future classic!
omg thank you so much. i’m always using way long lfos
Awesome review and video as always! After seeing this video months ago, I just got my DB-01 over the holidays. Seeing that it could do a large variety of things and I thought it would be a nice complement to my TB-03, rather than a replacement. The DB-01 sounds fantastic! From massive to growly to silky smooth, it is the perfect companion to the TB-03 - letting the TB-03 do the 303 things it does best and the DB-01 do all the rest :)
Big thanks man. First you introduced me to the Novation Circuit, then you've kept finding new, really cool instruments that fascinate me.
Wow, been waiting for this release and your test of it, DB-01 is dope, Erica Synth is dope !!! Thanks Ricky
7:40 is the face of when the acid starts hitting! Oh Yeah! nice one! just got mine in today and its glorious!
You're the best synth reviewer out there, Ricky. I will always check out of there is a review by you if I plan to get a synth or similar instrument.
This synth is definitely one that caught my curiosity a little extra and I think you are spot on that it sounds like a mix of 101 and 303, with some unique features. Love that Erica sticks to adding the Polivoks filter, and that double bbd is pretty genius.
Good review that does'nt miss a thing, I like how you really go deep with your gear, your my favorite RUclips channel as I am a tragic gearhead!
Nice close out jam. Really shows off the synth.
3:39 "Is that wheres your head at"
LOL i thought a true synth aficionado would reference the original by Gary Numan...
Erica knocking it out of the park once again. Great review Ricky!
Three black corp machines on the shelf there like come on
The knobs on this unit are soooo nice and chunky! They look extremly satisfying to use. Also noticed you didn't use the Drive knob until briefly near the end. Would have loved to hear more of it.
7:23. ‘Says the guy who’s not going to use this feature ever’. Just brilliant Ricky, your face says it all, what a great piece of gear! 🤣 Order placed.
First vid I watched here, super nice. The calm but focused delivery (plus the color grading) kinda remind me of a Philip Bloom review. Looking forward to more!
Sound wise and build wise this looks great! Love Erica Synths stuff!
If The Juilliard School of Arts had a synthesis program, I would want Mr. Ricky Tinez to be my professor !
Any possibly of publishing a book Professor Tinez ?
You made this thing sound dope! Watched the Erica vid. But there it sounds so distorted. Thnx man! Awesome as allways
The bassline in "Where's Your Head At" is actually taken from a fantastic Gary Numan song: M.E.
From 1979 :)
Ohh I didn't know that haha, cool
Dude! Your are so fun to watch its always a pleasure!
24:37 is the sexiest thing ever. I was like "Mkay he's gettin a little wild. Must be about to cut it." Then the beat came in and I realized... Ricky had a plan the whole time.
I've been waiting for your vid on this synth since i saw you have it 😬 I REALLY dig it. Thanks for your take on it
I thought it was a new Volca until i looked closer lol
yeah, thought the same, a volca with parameter locks!
It’s very jersey shore club trance braaahh
@@smuller1 The Volca Drum has p-locks!
@@xnflg3074 ah OK, I don't own it. From the FM I know it is recording the changes of knobs and sliders. But never as comfortable as it looks on the Erica!
s müller It can do stepped locks too. If you hold down a step button on the ribbon sequencer and turn a knob, it’ll lock that in memory and apply it during playback of the sequence. The Drum is easily the most complex of the Volca line.
7:38 100% make that track now that the video is done lmao thats so slick
Cool! Was waiting for this video and now waiting for release of this synth. Thanks!
Great review. I've been waiting for your video on the DB-01.
That bass line at around 7:30 was 🔥
I've been eyeing this up for months. Nice review. Maybe if I move my bass station 2 and td3 on, I could make room for this. Or maybe not, I'm sure I can make room 👀
3:33 Ricky plays “Where’s Your Head At?”
Freaking awesome. Love how ya got sucked into it there. Thanks for the flyover d00000de.
NOW I WANT ONE. Erica Synths owns my wallet at this point..
Thanks for the video Ricky, good stuff! I recently got the Erica Synths Baseline eurorack module and pairing it with the Arturia Minibrute 2S sequencer is heaven. Seems to fix some of your gripes, such as live recording your gate length. Also gives you pressure sensitive pads to route as modulation. Something to consider if people already own some of that gear or are looking to dive into modular but like this thing's sound.
I copy this comment: I didn't understand half of this but your way of talking, sympathetic appearance and engagement or enthusiasm makes this a joy to watch. Take care, stay safe. :)
Yeah - I played with this at a music shop around month ago - ooh so dope. Yeah other patrons listened in and were ready to buy. Pricey but maybe not. But I think it is great.
Ricky, your videos are awesome. Always top quality work, each and every time. Consistently the best! Keep up the superb work!
thanks fro the great video. awesome enthusiasm and a top demo of this synth. I've skipped the sample pack download and just bought the one in stock from my local disti. looking forward to having this in the mix!
Great overview. Got one the other day this really helps, no manual needed :) Thanks Ricky !
Love the design and the sound of this thing. Also, keep up the good work! Love your videos!
I love how the parameter locks are relative to the underlying values.
Reminds me of how Maschine does automation. It’s great for performance as you can move controls around and still have your automation stay relative.
I just wish this had presets and usb...that would be perfect for me then. Also agree about automating the unison.
yeah that's a great one, wonder if elektron might add that as a trig lock option via software
Actually, if you have one of the big ‘uns like the Rytm, that’s how the performance controls work. Just not the trig locks. I’m also like 99% sure it’s how aftertouch and breath are modulated as well. On my faderfox I have knobs mapped to perf on my Rytm (don’t like the pad press idea) as well as a knob mapped to aftertouch as a mod source.
@@thedrumunkey8582 hmm you're right
great fun to see you reviewing!!!!
I wanna hear that finished track from 7.28 🙂
I think this is the exact bass synth i was looking for.
That BBD detune sound is dope!
7:20 Absolute fire, reminds me of old Richie, Sheet One.
Big thanx Ricky, for this nice introducing of this great device! I can‘t wait to get mine! Greetings and stay healthly!🖖☺️
Thanks for the samplepack dude! Much appreciated! 🙏
Erica synths definitely has a good take on layout, loads of space to play with there. Nice review 👍
"When would I use this feature?"....oh...Oh!
Good to see I'm not the only one who's cycles came minus the rubber stoppers on the sides.
The M:C came with both actually! I’ve just been using mine with a battery pack. But that doesn’t mean I know where I put the rubber plug 😂
That simple sequence with the detune and pitch env sounded great. Definitely had a smile creep up on my face too. Nice demo.
Surprised the algorithm hasnt tagged this video for the "Where's Your Head At?" moment early on in the video. Lot of crazy copyright nonsense going on with You Tube at the moment.Another great video Ricky!
Thanks for the awesome review! this thing sounds dope
Really love your content! Always cool to watch you have fun with great gear!
Nice -- buying on the strength of this vid.
The future is crazy! Even the commercials have commercials! Fncking tv execs never dreamed that up!
Lol barf, this thing intrigued me, love how big the knobs are to actually perform the thing which is lacking in a lot of products, plus it sounds huge through monitors
7:26 I'm head banging too, even when I revisit this cool video.
I really hope Erica Synth will make a Sick DrumMachine .
They did...
Great review! I've been intrigued by this device and you really dug deep & showed what it could do. Oh, and I subscribed.
Woopy-doopy sounds that work well with squelchy-ness? Sign me up partner!
just purchased my DB-01 today Ricky, watched the other vids, but this one sold it, brilliant channel, thank you. (i’m going to pair it with the Specular Tempus, check it out!) cheers from England.
"Tight beat, dude!"
Whoopy doopy sounds? You just made my Sunday morning!
5:50 "Oww i can" 🤣
Hey Ricky, great Video..Giving you shout out from Rhampton...Keep up the great work..I may have to pick up one of these..
You made me buy a Zen Delay and no this. No regrets! What do you mean "no presets"? Doesn't it save the "sound" paramaters in banks/patterns?
Great video as usual! Thank you Ricky, I have my DB-01 coming soon :-)
Thank you for the samples, Ricky! Me and guys used one in our track: Лужа - Руки-Пауки. Just copy/paste it in any streaming service if you’re interested 🦾
Dope as always! Would love a deckards dream sample pack if you plan on doing more packs
I like the look of this and I like Erica Synths (I've got a couple of their modules) but I already have a Bass Station 2 and it's got 101 and 303 tones for days.
Props to Erica Synths though they make cool stuff.
Your videos are always so inspiring. Time to go make some sounds,! Cheers!
I’d love to see a dedicated vid to your matrix 6
looks like I can use it as a 303, a minitaur, and even a dfam
Love this video, I keep coming back and rewatching it. Man, when that beat drops at 16:18, that's when I think I really have to get one.
More videos of this box, please?
great video man ... was skeptical about this one, but now I want one :)
Thanks for the sample pack! It's well worth downloading if you haven't already ;)
very cool review and thanks for the samples !
shit, your videos always get me inspired to make something, lmao. pausing vid half-way, i’ll be finishing it after i get some jams out of my system 😝 much love, stay safe y’all
Ok I see you're gonna keep that thing!
Sounds so nice. Want to get a polyphonic synth, but so many sexy Mono synths.
Interesting that you think of it in terms of an SH-101 rather than just a TB-303. Of course, the MC-202 is - barring a few differences - a 101 with a sequencer and has sometime been disparagingly and unfairly called a poor man's (or woman's) 303 because of its ability to get close to the squelchiness of the 303 at half the 2nd hand price. The 101/202 is much more versatile than that and less of a 'one trick pony,' so that's great news for the DB-01if as you say it's more 101 than 303. Great 303 like form factor and I love the buttons, just like the Zen Echo. Erica don't have the resources of the 'B' word and so you need to consider that when you look at the price I guess. Goes without saying but hey, great vlog as usual Ricky.
I like this box, I will get it eventually.
"Depend on what kind of producer you are"; right now I'm the No Producing kinda producer... Thx for the Vid dude, lov it :D
I have been viewing this video so many times... now hoping to see a LXR-02 soon ;-)
If RUclips told me how many times I've watched this video, I think I would be appalled.
16:20 - SOLD.
7:23 for some reason this bassline reminds me of TRON: Legacy. But damn, never heard of the DB-01 before but it sounds fat as hell. Love it.
damn i dont need one of these but this video is making me want one. the automated cutoff feature is so nice
