The Roland Cloud TB-303 Virtual Instrument is a digital music production tool that allows you to capture the classic sound of the TB-303. This iconic synth has helped shape the sound of modern dance music and is renowned for its fluid low end.
The TB-303 software synthesizer faithfully recreates the unique sonic flavors of the original. It has been enhanced for modern music production, with expanded internal memory that can hold up to 64 patterns and 64 patches per bank. It also comes with 32 preset patterns and 48 unique sounds for you to experiment with.
There is a secret panel hidden in the top right corner of the interface that gives you access to new tone-coloring functions. This includes the ability to change the condition of the emulated circuitry. There is also a graphical edit window that allows you to create patterns or get inspired using the randomize/generate functions.
The TB-303 is a genre-defying powerhouse that any serious music producer needs in their arsenal. Please note that this product is delivered as a digital download code that will be sent to your email for activation.
The virtual instrument version of the TB-303 has been faithfully recreated using Roland’s Analog Circuit Behaviour technology. It captures every nuance of the original hardware synth, allowing you to achieve its signature squelch and crunch.
The TB-303 virtual instrument has been enhanced and optimized for music production and live performances. It can hold up to 64 patterns and 64 patches per bank, with eight variations of a pattern for added creativity. It also includes 48 unique sounds, 32 preset patterns, and five new play modes: Forward, Reverse, FWD&REV, Invert, and Random.
One of the most unique features is the secret panel located in the top right corner of the GUI. This panel unlocks a range of new tone coloring features, allowing you to modify the style and sound of the circuitry. You can also recreate different states of circuitry within the synth using the Vintage Condition control. Additionally, you can sculpt your sound using the distortion and delay with tempo sync.
If you have your own TB-303 hardware synth, you can integrate it with the virtual instrument using the Plug-Out format. This allows the parameters to be automatically mapped to the TB-303’s controls. Unlike the hardware version, the virtual instrument does not require frequency tune-ups and costly maintenance.
