Quick delivery and item is a corker. Still getting to grips with it but can easily make enough noise to keep me interested.

I love it! So easy to get into, and so much versatility!

I have a number of synths including a Beringer td3-mo As a Scout leader I decided to run a music evening where Scouts could use my synths. The TD3 is very difficult to program but I saw a video showing the Donner B1 and bought one for the Scouts to use. It's fantastic and the new firmware is great. The Scouts loved it and two of them have asked their parents to buy one for them.
WAYNE L.
The b1 is a great little synth, easy and fun to use, and syncs up great.
Gareth B.
Simple and effective bass synth, great for acid or just bass.
Dan H.
This is a great little 303 clone. The usability is superb.
Customer service has also been wonderful.
Recommended!

Get some great sounds from this analogue synth/sequencer. Sounds
reminds me of the old tb303. Nice one Donner, make more kit like this.
Andrew H.
Was great... until, one of the switches broke. Could definitely be built a bit more robustly.
Kelvin G.
Such a pleasurable experience. From ordering to receiving, kept aware each step of the way . Professional service from start to finish.
Ben C.
Great sounding synth, surprisingly close to the 303 sound. The saturation and distortion in particular are really good. Much better sequencer than the original and TD-3!
Peter C.
Excellent piece of equipment
Peter B.
The device accepts midi file output from another device such as a PC. It's monophonic but useful for simple midi testing.
stephen r.
Only just got it but dead easy to use so far
David T.
It's great! Loads of sounds and options. Easy to get going.
Chris C.
I had an issue they resolved it immediately. Great service and a great little bass machine for the money
Dave D.
Good sounds and easy to use.Jackplug output mounting maybe an issue though.
Dewi W.
Great little 303 box. Does exactly what it says on the tin. Awesome touch with the added little extras.
A fantastic addition to any music production studio ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Simon E.
Great sound. Can really squelch once you have familiarised yourself with controls.. Lots of memory and very intuitive sequencer unlike other 303 inspired bass synths. Requires update to make use of new firmware with song mode. The ‘aux in’ allows me to use more devices with fewer cables which is important for tabletop jamming. My biggest criticism is that the type printed on the surface is black, thin and absolutely tiny. Impossible to read in low light and difficult to see at all. Other than that it’s an excellent bit of kit.
Edgar R.
Had a berhinger 303 ….impossible to enter a sequence. Sold it and got a b1.
Sounds great and a. joy to use.
1 suggestion for mark 2………
Add a waveshaper that can be switched in and our

I spent a long time looking at the B1, but finally took the plunge when an offer was on. I like it a lot. It sounds lovely, and the step sequencer is really intuitive. You can get pleasantly lost in tweaking and manipulating the sound. Looks pretty well built too
Lee S.
It’s an amazing product I love it
NICK W.
It's a lot of synth for very little money!
Alan G.
Fantastic piece of gear ! Sounds brilliant and the pads are great to the touch.
TAMY A.
Great customer service and support, got my item.
Many thanks Donner
Pete H.
A feature packed quality package that has a huge sound, yet easily slips into a mix, with regular firmware updates this could be the new leader in it's crowded market though almost certainly at this price point! Excellent!
Stuart C.
So this little unit it a 303 clone. The most faithful? Probably not but for the ridiculously low price I paid I’d say it’s close enough that 99.9% of people wouldn't know (or care) yet I have a lot more cash in my pocket.
In short it sounds great. The overdrive it particularly nice – I’m not sure if that’s analogue or not but either way it sounds smooth and not harsh or overly bright. The delay is okay I guess, but you can reduce the time and increase the feedback to give a reverb kind of effect too which is useful.
I’m primarily using it to run from my Polyend Tracker that I use as a sequencer. I run the midi from the tracker into the B1 then use the midi out to run my Behringer synth. And it works flawlessly. This was crucial for me and my setup so obviously I was more than pleased I didn't have to faff about trying to get it to work.
One positive thing to note is that devs actually care about this product and have released several firmware updates not just to fix bugs but to add new features. The most recent update gave a song mode – something that I’ll probably never use but it’s reassuring to know that Donner care enough to keep updating this after the sale.
Overall I’m really impressed. I’m building a live guitar/synth setup and the B1 is tiny yet does everything I want. Hopefully we’ll see some more synthy products heading our way so I can spend the money I saved on this!
Finally I'll say I bought this out of my own money and it's not a sponsored post. There's quite a few that vids on youtube that have been given the unit to test...sadly I'm not one of those folk!
Andrew H.
Awesome bit of kit, sounds great sequencer easy to use and the fx are brill
Jason H.
Very comparable to other ‘famous bass synths’ in sound but at a low price. Good connectivity with both usb and standard midi in/out. The keyboard is better, in my view, for hammering out percussive bass lines than a standard keyboard.
All in all, a great instrument for the price.
John G.
The B1 is a small, stylishly designed monophonic bass synthesizer. It has square and sawtooth waveforms, saturation and delay. It is capable of producing some subtle and some not-so-subtle bass tones that will enhance your music. I am pleased with my B1 and I recommend it to others who are looking fro a capable bass synthesizer.

Great wee bass synth, great price and prompt delivery
Gordon R.
Great little synth, bought on a whim, not something I’ll be using a lot but worth £99 of anybody’s money.
Evangelos T.
Very good quality and easy to use. Quality construction and value for money price. I've use it already in some of my productions and sounds very nice. Recommended
Mark R.
One of the best Roland tb-03 clones I've ever come across extremely simple to use with a great sequencer. If you use a MIDI sequencer you can even use the Donner sequencer as well as your own creating like a dual sound. It has some great phat sounds in some ways better than the original and certainly better than the Behringer td3 and yet the price is ridiculous! I love it!
Graham M.
This Is a wicked little acid synth , it's right up my street and it fits in well with all my other gear
Karl M.
Easier to program than a 303. Sound almost like 303. Not many people on the dance floor will notice. Can't go wrong for the price.
Adam D.
B1 synth arrived within 3 days. Paid advertised price with no extras, decent bit of kit and good service.
Chris H.
I love it... I've been collecting lots of 303 clones over the years ans this is right up there. Sounds great, super easy to programme and the on board effects are great too... Paid £99 for it in the Valentines Day sale and I dont regret it at all.. I might even get a second one.
Paul M.
This is a great little synth. The sound and User interface set it apart from other dedicated bass line synths. It's so easy to program and the ratchet, hold etc work really well during sequence playback. We'll done Donner.
Bev H.
Fast delivery, the B1 is awesome in every way easy to use and sounds brilliant, no need to spend loads of cash to get a awesome 303 sound and the sequencer is far easier to use than on the most of the other synths!! All at an amazing price. Well done DONNER one happy customer
David G.
So so phat sounding. Super easy to shape and alter your bass sound to taste. Really impressed with this and glad I picked it up. Any dealings with the customer service team have also been great!
Christine H.
Ten out of ten.
Mick C.
Very good bass synth for so little money.
Don MacDonald
This is quite a handy piece of equipment for not a lot of money - build quality and sound quality is very good - nothing in the price range is better and that includes the Behringer equivalent.
Piotr Woznica
BASS! Great sound and the distortion and delay take it over the top. Sync in? Yeah. Full MIDI specs, yep!
I’m betting an analogue drum machine is next. Take my money, Donner!
Gerry Murphy
It is easier to figure out than some other 303 clones (not that any of them are very challenging). It has some features that are unique so it's worth getting one even if you have other brands.
Paul Rankin
Still wrapping my head around this awesome piece of gear! True, other synths offer more, but I find that having some limitations breeds creativity. And the B-1 does way more than it should for the price! Great purchase!
gary hickey
The synthesizer worked great. No complaints on the sound quality. I just wish that you had a sequencer program in plug-in form so I can control the slides and accents more easily in my DAW
Alexander Ricci-Hodgson
Delivery was here in a week.
The B1 is absolut perfect and way more than I expected. Having so much fun playing around and discover. I love it.

Great first crack at a synth, I hope they stay at it. I'd love to see support for modding for USB power!

David Fortes
Really fantastic little synth. I was impressed by everything about it for the price - the build quality, the sound, the features (including the software editor which is a nice touch). Can do everything from subtle basslines to full-on Josh Wink.
Liam Calder
A absolute, stunning, tiny instrument of joy. Rich and fat. I wish you made matching midi floor pedals so i could play it with my feet for live shows. The sound is thick. I love to write a short loop sequence and run it through my pedal board. It's amazing to sit and make music with it!! 5 stars out of five!! Oh yes, the fact it's a incredible bargain helps too!!
Emmanuel Neri
This sound incredible. And it looks great. Glad I bought it, hope I got a good price. Donner would know!
