TB-303 new emulation testdrive
September 11th, 2008
Just a quick snapshot with a TB-303 and a TR-808 creating a monotone acid track to check the new 303 emulation code. I spent more time to get the accent system better integrated, which is one of the most popular features in the 303 sound. The accent is riding in at about 2:10min. This is the most I can provide without doing heavy analysis of the circuits and measuring. I think it is pretty close. However I have the real thing next to me... Wooaaaooow!

Need to do some measuring and analysis ;)

Good going!

There’s also a VSTi, Audiorealism BassLine (http://www.kvraudio.com/get/756.html) and most people agree it’s the next-nearest thing to the original. I use that in combination with Kore 2’s controller and that’s also quite fun. :)

I had some email conversation with Mike von AudioRealism. He answered a lot of my questions about the filter architecture and envelopes of the TB-303. I agree, his emulation is unbelievable close to the original, though every 303 is a bit different. My 303 is one of the first leaving the factory, it has a unusual high resonance and sounds pretty dirty – which is good ;)http://blog.andre-michelle.com/2007/new-project-and-my-new-tb-303/

Using the new AS3 sound model he has completely created a Roland 303 the classic sequencerer from the 80’s. The site has central mixer which you plug components into including the 303, he has a demo on his blog. [...]

This is really cool, have you thought about putting a Propellerheads Rebirth file reader (RBS). That would be absolutely cool.
Have you thought about creating a tracker for flash wow, another really cool idea. -
